Let me tell you a story.

September 11^th was the most terrible attack on innocent Americans in this nation’s history.

Beyond the three thousand dead are many more first responders who were permanently effected by millions of pounds of dust and debris that has played havoc with their bodies.

When they and their families sought to be recognized, Republican/Democrat/Independent billionaire who bought the mayor’s mansion Michael Bloomberg had them beat down.

Anthony Flammia wants to place his feet firmly on the World Trade Center memorial plaza this Sunday, a place where 10 years ago he stood, directing people to safety away from the burning towers before they fell.

But this Sept. 11, the now-retired NYPD officer will not be let inside the plaza gates. The majority of first responders who risked their lives on Sept. 11 will watch the memorial service from across the street, in Zuccotti Park. …

“There just isn’t enough space,” Bloomberg said yesterday… ~ 9/11 First Responders Denied At Memorial Service, Alison Bowen, Metro

Clearly, when memorializing the 10-year anniversary of this tragic event, you need to prioritize the people you are going to party with.

At least one family did receive special treatment; the family of NYPD officer George Wong were mortified to find out that they would not be allowed to receive George’s body until after the mayor had carved it up first.

With George dying at 48 of cancer, everyone who knew him was convinced he had been taken down by what got into his body on September 11^th as he bravely saved and protected souls. Clearly, his autopsy would have to be rigged before the government was found liable for thousands of compensation claims.

On the bodies of those dead Americans, an out-of-control government has built a frightening Orwellian Police State infrastructure and called it “Patriotism”.

But what really happened on 9/11? How could such a shockingly co-ordinated plot go unnoticed to the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world?

A blue-ribbon commission was put together to find answers for the American people! Again and again, the answers seemed to be “We’re sorry. They were really good and we made some mistakes.”

Suddenly, in the heat of a blame-game battle, a ray of light shone upon the darkness when the Attorney General of the United States, John Ashcroft, stated that guidelines had been set by a former Deputy Attorney General that prohibited those who were involved in a domestic criminal investigation from sharing their information with those who were surveilling foreign nationals with terrorist intent. These guidelines helped make 9/11 happen thanks to the mostly Saudi-led coalition of terrorists training right here in the United States (in fact, some learned how to fly courtesy of the United States military).

Who was it? They needed to be called before the commission immediately!

They wouldn’t have far to travel. The individual in question, one Jamie Gorelick, was on the 9/11 Commission. Wasn’t that convenient!

But when former governor of New Jersey, Republican Tom Kean was asked if Miss Gorelick would be testifying, he said people needed to “mind your own business.”

You weren’t expecting to get any real answers from the 9/11 Commission, were you?

Very quickly, corporate media and even “Conservative” stalwarts started throwing around words like “feckless” and “incompetent” and “buffoonish” all drawing the conclusion that this “wall of separation” was erected as a result of the Deputy Attorney General having spent a lifetime in law yet still not knowing how to do her job. I submit to you that the reality was much worse and most of them knew it.

This was not some bureaucratic SNAFU done by boobs (or a bureaucrat with boobs) to cover their ass for the next election. This was done in the wake of the 1993 WTC bombing to set the stage for the next WTC bombing and the players were already insulated from scrutiny:

…The Attorney General [John Ashcroft] explained:

“In the days before September 11, the wall specifically impeded the investigation into Zacarias Moussaoui, Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi. After the FBI arrested Moussaoui, agents became suspicious of his interest in commercial aircraft and sought approval for a criminal warrant to search his computer. The warrant was rejected because FBI officials feared breaching the wall.

“When the CIA finally told the FBI that al-Midhar and al-Hazmi were in the country in late August, agents in New York searched for the suspects. But because of the wall, FBI headquarters refused to allow criminal investigators who knew the most about the most recent al Qaeda attack to join the hunt for the suspected terrorists.

“At that time, a frustrated FBI investigator wrote headquarters, quote, ‘Whatever has happened to this — someday someone will die — and wall or not — the public will not understand why we were not more effective and throwing every resource we had at certain ‘problems.’” ~ Gorelick’s Wall: The Commissioner Belongs In The Witness Chair, Wall Street Journal

As investigative journalist Jack Cashill put it; Few … have asked why House Democrats invested one of their five 9-11 Commission slots in a mortgage executive with little or no intelligence experience.

She was there to help cover it up.

“GOING DOWN?”

At least one group of investigators is claiming that Gorelick can be traced to dramatic gains in short-selling of stocks and insurance policies connected to 9/11 with the wild assertion that WTC elevators were booby-trapped to insure those who turned down the scheme would take the offer with them to the grave. It’s a good conspiracy because anyone in the know either has a vested interest to keep quiet or is dead but here are a few things that make you consider it:

• The World Trade Center elevators went through an extensive rebuild yet New York City’s “Department of Buildings” claims to have no record of the work that was done.
• USA Today conducted a special report that showed, not only did the elevators not work that day, they set records for how badly they didn’t work:

The World Trade Center had one of the world’s great elevator systems — 198 of the biggest, fastest elevators ever built. On the morning of Sept. 11, this technological marvel turned against the people who worked there. USA TODAY estimates that at least 200 people died inside World Trade Center elevators, the biggest elevator catastrophe in history. …

Before Sept. 11, the World Trade Center had never had an elevator fatality, even though each express elevator might travel 60,000 miles a year. Although 30 years old, the system remained a worldwide tourist attraction for people in the elevator industry. Trade publications wrote about the elevators with a romanticism never bestowed on the taller Sears Tower in Chicago or other skyscrapers. ~ Elevators Were Disaster Within Disaster, Dennis Cauchon and Martha Moore, USA Today

• The local company that was managing the elevators that day was ACE Elevator. ACE was working on behalf of Otis Elevator. Otis Elevator is a “wholly-owned subsidiary” of United Technologies. On the Board of Directors for United Technologies sits one Jamie S. Gorelick (scroll to p. 34).

GATEKEEPER

The list of American tragedies to which Jamie Gorelick was associated is quite unbelievable. Nearly any disaster in her lifetime of a political effect (and even a few natural ones) has her listed in the credits.

That’s because Jamie Gorelick is a gatekeeper. She is privy to unspeakable treasons that insulate and enrich her. She will never go before a Congressional Committee unless it’s with a Tea Party Patriot leading her by shackles.

Gorelick’s Wall was more than just a facilitator for the deaths of 3,000 Americans and the institution of an Orwellian Police State. It was perfectly timed to stop good people in the CIA and FBI (yes, there are a couple), from uncovering treasonous technology transfers in exchange for financial and political backing of William Jefferson Blythe Clinton:

It is no coincidence that this occurred at the same time both the FBI and the CIA were churning up evidence damaging to the Democratic Party, its fundraisers, the Chinese and ultimately the Clinton administration itself. Between 1994 and the 1996 election, as Chinese dollars poured into Democratic coffers, Clinton struggled to reopen high-tech trade to China. Had agents confirmed Chinese theft of weapons technology or its transfer of weapons technology to nations like Pakistan, Iran and Syria, Clinton would have been forced by law and international treaty to react.

Gorelick’s appointment to the job at Justice in 1994 occurred during a period in which the FBI had begun to systematically investigate technology theft by foreign powers. For the first time, these investigations singled out the U.S. chemical, telecommunications, aircraft and aerospace industries for intelligence collection. ~ How Chinagate Led to 9/11, Jean Pearce, FrontPage Magazine

Not only did Willie Clinton benefit, the entire military/industrial complex (a multi-trillion dollar industry that feeds off of constant conflict) was there to be taken care of;

But those in the Clinton administration weren’t the only ones to gain from the secrecy. In 1994, the McDonnell Douglas Corporation transferred military-use machine tools to the China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation that ended up in the hands of the Chinese army. The sale occurred despite Defense Department objections. McDonnell Douglas was a client of the Miller Cassidy Larroca & Lewin, L.L.P. (now called Baker Botts), the Washington, D.C., law firm where Gorelick worked for 17 years and was a partner. Ray Larroca, another partner in the firm, represented McDonnell in the Justice Department’s investigation of the technology transfer.

In 1995, General Electric, a former client of Gorelick’s, also had much to lose if the damaging information the CIA and the FBI had reached Congress. At the time, GE was publicly lobbying for a lucrative permit to assist the Chinese in replacing coal-fired power stations with nuclear plants. A 1990 law required that the president certify to Congress that China was not aiding in nuclear proliferation before U.S. companies could execute the business agreement. ~ How Chinagate Led to 9/11, Jean Pearce, FrontPage Magazine

This is an old game that I’ve shared with you frequently: the Hegelian Dialectic—thesis, antithesis, synthesis (more commonly known as “problem, reaction: solution”). When your game is to control the masses and the good people have a clear advantage, you steal it from them and give it to their adversaries to frighten them into giving up freedom for “security” you offer.

GETTING PAID

When you do good things for the Machine, you get paid. Jamie Gorelick knew nothing about real estate but that didn’t stop her from heading to vice chair the Federal National Mortgage Association, also known as “Fannie Mae”. There she could oversee stellar levels of corruption that granted unrepayable mortgage loans to Democrat voters and reap unheard-of bonuses in response.

…Gorelick[‘s]…official résumé describes her as “one of the longest serving Deputy Attorneys General of the United States,” a position she held during the Clinton administration. Although Gorelick had no background in finance, she joined Fannie Mae in 1997 as vice chair and departed in 2003. For her trouble, Gorelick collected a staggering $26.4 million in total compensation, including bonuses. Federal investigators would later say that “Fannie Mae’s management directed employees to manipulate accounting and earnings to trigger maximum bonuses for senior executives from 1998 to 2003.” The New York Times would call the manipulations an “$11 billion accounting scandal.” Gorelick, it should be noted, has never been charged with any wrongdoing. ~ Fannie Mae and the Vast Bipartisan Conspiracy, Jack Shafer, Slate.com

_______________

In 2004, after a tip from a whistle blower who was later fired, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (Ofheo) issued a report finding that the government-sponsored entity Fannie Mae had engaged in Enron-like accounting machinations that allowed Fannie to overstate its earnings and underestimate the risk the company faced. The accounting wizardry Fannie engaged in was designed so that Fannie could meet profit targets to maximize bonus payments to company executives like Clinton administration deputy attorney general Jamie Gorelick and Carter administration assistant director for domestic policy Franklin Raines. ~ Morning Bell: The Left’s Crony Capitalism Exposed, Conn Carroll, The Heritage Foundation

We’ll have to save Franklin Raines for an entirely separate column.

TWA 800

In 1996, 230 passengers were killed when an explosion sheared the nose off a Boeing 747 being flown by TWA for Paris. In this latest documentary—TWA: Flight 800—investigators and eye-witnesses testify that the FBI was there to do what they do best: intimidate and cover up. This agenda was headed up by one person:

Gorelick surely knew … that traces of PETN and RDX found in the fuselage along the right wing had been confirmed by the FBI’s D.C. lab.

She would have known too that the FBI had already interviewed more than seven hundred eyewitnesses. At least 244 of these accounts were so specific, so consistent, and so credible that they could not be ignored.

Defense Department analysts had debriefed some thirty-four of the witnesses. There were also scores of witness drawings of a missile strike, some so accurate and vivid they could chill the blood. …

The FBI had already leaked to the New York Times information that would result in a headline on August 23, top right: “Prime Evidence Found That Device Exploded in Cabin of Flight 800.”

This article stole the thunder from Clinton’s election-driven approval of welfare reform in that same day’s paper and threatened to undermine the peace and prosperity message of next week’s Democratic National Convention.

What followed in the next several weeks was the most ambitious and successful cover-up in American peacetime history. At its center was Jamie Gorelick. ~ Did Gorelick Ride TWA 800 To Fannie Mae Millions? Jack Cashill

GULF OF INJUSTICE

On April 20^th, 2010 (the Luciferian Elite do so enjoy sacrificing innocents during that time) 11 men were engulfed in flames aboard the British Petroleum oil rig “Deepwater Horizon”. 210 million gallons of crude oil poured into the Gulf of Mexico ruining the lives of thousands and killing tens of thousands of animals.

—and a lot of money was made, too.

Somehow, a little bird tweeted in the ear of BP’s chief executive and he was able to dump £1.4 million of his stock shares just in time.

Goldman Sachs avoided a $96 million loss when the same bird stopped by NYC (must be a pigeon).

Former Sachs alum Jon Corzine (the man who misplaces billions and walks away free) must’ve sent the little bird to his gubernatorial successor, the redundantly-named Chris Cristie because the state of New Jersey sold off her shares in the nick of time, too.

But the real winner was Dick Cheney’s old clan, Hall-i-burton.

Halliburton, services provider for the energy industry, has announced a big jump in profits despite its involvement in the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.

The Texas-based company said profits for the last three months rose by 83% compared with last year.

Halliburton’s share price rose as much as 5% in early trading on Wall Street.

It said the U.S. suspension of deepwater drilling is expected to hit profits, but land-based oil and gas operations remained profitable. ~ Halliburton Profits Up Despite Oil Spill, BBC

How could Halliburton not win when they were running both the oil and the cleanup?!

Does a company that both builds oil rigs and cleans up oil spills have any motivation to prevent oil rig disasters?

That’s the question some people in business and politics are asking themselves after Halliburton’s purchase of an oil clean-up company 10 days before the Deepwater Horizon explosion that killed 11 workers and launched the worst oil spill in US history.

Some observers see a conspiracy in the actions of the company once headed by Dick Cheney. Halliburton, which built the cement casing for the Deepwater Horizon’s drill, announced its purchase of Houston-based oilfield services company Boots and Coots for $240 million on April 9, just 11 days before the Deepwater Horizon explosion. ~ Disaster Capitalists: Halliburton to Make Money off Oil Spill, Daniel Tencer, Raw Story

Boy, it sure seems like a lot of important people both knew of and capitalized off of this horrible tragedy. Who can we get to make sure no one finds out (because the masses would be really pissed and bring the party to a quick close)? Who is out there with an expertise and experience in covering up corruption, treason and outrage?

You guessed it; Jamie S. Gorelick.

Facing multiple investigations, including one from the U.S. attorney general, companies involved in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill have secured legal teams with deep Department of Justice and White House ties.

Oil giant BP PLC recruited WilmerHale, an international firm with 1,000 attorneys. Partner Jamie Gorelick in Washington, D.C., will lead the effort. ~ BP, Halliburton, Transocean Build Legal Teams, Anne Mulkern, NY Times

Untouchable disaster-facilitating parasites like this are why America can no-longer have nice things.

From 2002 through 2004, a group of politicians convened to look into just how the disastrous attacks of September 11^th could’ve taken place. Chaired by former Republican NJ Governor Tom Kean, it had the “appearance” of being objectively staffed with 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans.

As the finger-pointing went on ad nauseum, one thing became painfully apparent: someone in the Clinton Justice Department had been the catalyst for disaster. In the archetypical fashion of the political Left, a dictate had been sent down from on high forbidding the major intelligence agencies from sharing information that may transition from intelligence into “criminal investigation.” Standard Operating Procedure for ensconced bureaucrat perennials was “plausible deniability” and it far outweighed any usefulness new intelligence had to national security.

Imagine the surprise of political junkies everywhere when then Attorney General John Ashcroft made the astounding disclosure that the individual who wrote the ill-fated memo, one “Jamie Gorelick,” was there in front of him on that same 9/11 commission. What twist of fate put her on the board instead of in the witness chair?

An impossible coincidence, or a purposeful effort by insiders to distract onlookers from the culpability of Bill Clinton and his administration?

“Culpability” did not stop at the Democrat Party Headquarters, as was proven by Republican Chairman Kean’s reaction to being questioned at a press conference about Gorelick’s devastating conflict of interest, he responded “People ought to stay out of our business.”

How inconvenient. There was a show to perform and obnoxious skeptics wanted to look at the man behind the curtain.

Investigators and journalists alike (the few that dared look) weren’t buying the “odd coincidence” theory that put Gorelick on the board. In fact, some were saying that she was more than just a hapless bureaucrat, but was actually a major power player purposefully placed in a blocking position.

To block what?

For starters, prying eyes looking to connect Bill Clinton to laundered Chinese re-election money in return for favors such as technology sharing that would greatly increase the performance of the Chinese military. Given Red China’s adversarial role to our national interests, such co-operation brings “the ‘T-word’” to mind. You know, the word we’re not allowed to utter around Leftists who undermine American security, who give aid and comfort to her enemies?

As Charles Smith noted in his excellent column How China Took the White House:

…Poly Corp. [wasn’t] the only COSTIND [China’s Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense] deal with the Clinton administration. In 1993, a U.S. company, SCM Brooks Telecommunications, entered into a joint venture called “HUA MEI” with Galaxy New Technology, a Chinese company controlled by COSTIND. That joint venture resulted in the one and only time the Ron Brown controlled Commerce Department issued a “GLX” or “general license to export” encrypted video-conferencing, virtual notebook, and teleradiology applications.

If you’ve never heard of “COSTIND” before, Wikipedia has a pretty good summary:

The Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND) was a civilian ministry within the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, responsible for setting policy for defense procurement. It was considered as the Chinese counterpart of DARPA of the USA.

What a lucky break it was for the Clinton administration that the Commerce Secretary should have perished in a freak plane accident before he could be brought in under the already-issued subpoenaed to discuss the matter with Special Prosecutor Daniel Pearson.

But that’s why Clinton had his own Zampolit in the Justice Department. Like a Soviet “political officer” aboard a nuclear submarine, Gorelick was there to be the eyes and ears—and memo-writer—of her Party Leader.

Gorelick was Mr. Clinton’s replacement for deputy AG Webster Hubbell who had been under investigation for overbilling clients, mail fraud and tax evasion and was forced to resign.

Washington lawyer, Clinton confidant and golfing partner, Vernon Jordan, was deposed by Ken Starr for his role in obtaining $50,000 in “consulting fees” for Webster Hubbell, between the time Hubbell left the Justice Department and entered federal prison. Starr was trying to determine if those fees were “hush money.” That money came from Revlon Corporation, where Mr. Jordan sits on the board of directors. ~ William Jefferson Clinton Memorial Library.com

With such a background of crime, corruption and conflict-of-interest surrounding her, Gorelick had big shoes to fill. Yet, she would rise to the occasion with stellar levels of impropriety that continue on through today.

Whereas current hard-core Leftist Barack Obama seems willing to sacrifice a second term in order to carry out his agenda of destruction and disassembly, Clinton moderated his agenda with extreme paranoia in order to keep his power. A top priority seems to have been sweeping all incidences of terrorist aggression quietly under the rug (national security being an issue Democrats always lose and Republicans always win), even when you have to push a few bodies in there with it.

Investigative reporter Jack Cashill has been on top of this and the most egregious example has been TWA Flight 800 where 230 people tragically lost their lives due to, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, a simple mechanical fault that ignited the central fuel tank; an explanation without precedent nor subsequent examples.

The FBI had evidence of nearly 300 witnesses who saw two separate streaks of light rise to converge with Flight 800 as well as traces of Nitramine Explosives PETN and RDX on some of the recovered wreckage. The lead man in that investigation was James Kallstrom who, after a quaint little one-on-one with Miss Gorelick, magically concurred with the NTSB’s conclusion.

Next stop for Jamie G’s Gravy Train was government mortgage lender “Fannie Mae” where she would rake in millions thanks to her not-so-extensive experience in banking, lending, management or any other related skill:

…Gorelick[‘s]…official résumé describes her as “one of the longest serving Deputy Attorneys General of the United States,” a position she held during the Clinton administration. Although Gorelick had no background in finance, she joined Fannie Mae in 1997 as vice chair and departed in 2003. For her trouble, Gorelick collected a staggering $26.4 million in total compensation, including bonuses. Federal investigators would later say that “Fannie Mae’s management directed employees to manipulate accounting and earnings to trigger maximum bonuses for senior executives from 1998 to 2003.” The New York Times would call the manipulations an “$11 billion accounting scandal.” Gorelick, it should be noted, has never been charged with any wrongdoing. ~Fannie Mae and the Vast Bipartisan Conspiracy, by Jack Shafer

It is an amazing feat, indeed, to not only escape prosecution for corruption that easily can be labeled “treason” but to get paid millions of dollars for doing it!

For those of you who don’t know, Fannie Mae was a central player in the so-called “subprime mortgage crisis” where thousands of home loans were defaulted on by owners who were found to be in way over their heads in their ability to repay their loans. Rather than “too much deregulation” by Republicans (as the media would have you think) the real issue was, in fact, too much government meddling by Democrats like Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Barney Frank (D-MA) who foistered unconscionable requirements on banks, forcing them to give home loans to low-income persons who had neither the credit history nor the obvious means to repay them []. By odd coincidence, these same persons also tended to vote very heavily for the Democrat Party.

Miss Gorelick was right there to lend her peculiar talents to the mix.

Which is why the few of us who follow such things (but wonder why we subject our stomach linings to it) were not surprised to see the Mistress of Disaster surface again in the middle of the BP oil rig crisis, this time, representing BP at the feet of the Chosen One, Barack Hussein Obama. She must’ve done a great job. BP only had to give up $20 billion in a “relief fund,” one that is more properly titled a “Democrat voter-payback slush fund,” to be added to the billions already paid out by the American taxpayer under the auspices of “stimulating the economy”.

Perhaps if we could get Miss Gorelick to raise her head just before the next crisis we could pinpoint it and send emergency rescue personnel there ahead of time.

Case in point: 911 Commission member Jamie Gorelick sat in stern judgment over several members of the presidents’ administration trying to get the bottom of just who is responsible for the 911 intelligence debacle.

When, in reality, she was partly responsible. As a deputy attorney general for the satan administration, she wrote a memo in 1995 that established a “wall” between the criminal and intelligence divisions within the government. The Left has always hated the military, the FBI and the CIA. Somehow, the current trend of American will seems to have magically converted many of them. They just don’t bother to bring up their past (even when they are persecuting someone else for the damage they have done).

Once the treason was uncovered, former NJ “Republican” governor and 9/11 Commission chairman Thomas Kean told press, “…people ought to stay out of our business.”

“Our business” ostensibly being to cover the treason of the satan administration, brethren within the political ruling class…??

Oh…wait a minute! Bill Clinton already did testify. You missed it didn’t you. Was it because no one in the media establishment reported it?

You may be surprised to find out that Clinton pulled…a Clinton. He snuck his testimony in behind closed doors while his cronies were pulling the most outrageous behavior interrogating Condoleezza Rice, to cover for him. Slick, huh? I guess that’s why they call him Slick Willie.

Too bad we didn’t hear anyone on the commission grilling Slick Willie. Like on how the anti-terrorism commission he told AlGore to run in 1996 didn’t manage to follow through on any of it’s recommendations. It couldn’t have been the big bucks the airline industry greased them with…could it?

Where is the outrage?

—Buried on page D-25.

If you haven’t heard, he’s got a new book to huckster all about how much the president knew about 9/11 and how badly he dropped the ball. Clarke is a Clinton administration security advisor who seems to have forgotten that his former adulterous, megalomaniac, treasonous, murder-made-to-look-like-suicides boss had eight years to do something about terrorism while President Bush barely had 8 months.

Also, the timing of the release of his new book and his “startling” information seems oddly timed for a sincere “whistle-blower”. This from NewsMax’s Wes Vernon:

The allegation in a book by Richard A. Clarke, a national security advisor and holdover from the Clinton administration, was given wide publicity Sunday night on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

Several talkshow hosts Monday pointed out that CBS failed to mention that the book was published by its sister Viacom-owned firm, Simon and Schuster. Both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity said the “news” report was in fact an [undisclosed] infomercial.

It is also not true, says the White House, that Dick Clarke was never allowed to brief the president on the threat from al-Quaeda.

There was in fact no record of any request by him to brief President Bush on any counter-terrorism issue. He could have done so. He never did.

More from NewsMax:

A spokesman for the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks said Monday that he was aware that former Clinton administration terrorism czar Richard Clarke was writing a book about the 9/11 attacks, but was surprised to learn that its release would be timed to coincide with Clarke’s testimony before the panel.

Asked if Commission Chairman Thomas Kean or Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton were concerned that Clarke would be using his appearance to help publicize his book, Felzenberg said, “I don’t know what to say about that.”

When asked whether Clarke would be questioned about a CIA videotape broadcast by NBC News last week showing that the Clinton administration had Osama bin Laden in its crosshairs but failed to act, Felzenberg said, “We can’t comment on materials before the committee.”

Boy, the press sure does make it easy to be a Democrat. And for that matter, so do the Republicans!
