“Hil:
Wanted to wring his neck.” New York Daily News.
June 4, 2003.
Sen. Hillary Clinton writes that her husband lied to her about Monica
Lewinsky until the very end and that she wanted to "wring Bill's neck" when
he finally came clean about the affair.

“Study
links depression, suicide rates to teen sex.” USA Today.
June 3, 2003.
The Heritage study taps the government-funded National Longitudinal Survey
of Adolescent Health. The Heritage researchers selected federal data on
2,800 students ages 14-17. The youngsters rated their own "general state of
continuing unhappiness" and were not diagnosed as clinically depressed.
The Heritage researchers do not find a causal link between "unhappy kids"
and sexual activity, says Robert Rector, a senior researcher with Heritage.
"This is really impossible to prove." But he says that study findings send a
clear message about unhappy teens that differs from one portrayed in the
popular culture, that "all forms of non-marital sexual activity are
wonderful and glorious, particularly the younger (teen) the better," he
says.

Dennis the Menace
There is some legitimate dispute about just what happened when Lynch
was captured and later rescued. In April Washington Post ombudsman
Michael Getler acknowledged that the paper had cited probably
false claims by unnamed "U.S. officials" that Lynch had gone down
shooting after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. On the other hand,
much of the Lynch revisionism has been based on a patently silly
report from the
BBC claiming, among other things, that the soldiers who rescued
Pfc. Lynch were firing blanks.
For the sake of the historical record, it would be worthwhile to
clarify what actually happened rather than rely on accounts produced
during the fog of war. But there's also a political agenda at work
here: Far-left critics of America are arguing that if there were
errors in the original account of Lynch's capture and rescue, it
somehow illustrates that the Bush administration, the nation and the
military are fundamentally evil. (See this typically bilious
Robert Scheer column for an example.) |

To the Left, March
John Kerry may be positively middle-of-the-road
when compared with Dennis Kucinich and Howard Dean, but The American
Spectator Online makes clear that these things are relative. Last
night, TASO reports, the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts
Democrat, who by the way served in Vietnam, "appeared on Park Avenue
where a former Goldman Sachs partner hosted the likes of grand lefties
Robert Downey, Sr. (the one who taught his kid how to smoke pot),
Erica Jong, Norman Mailer, George Plimpton, movie director Robert
Altman (who has still not moved out of the country), Carly Simon, and
Candice Bergen." |

Brookes, Peter. “When
Weapons Go Missing.” New York Post. June , 2003.
Notice how you don't see any of the
governments that opposed the use of force saying: "I told you so."
That's because no one disagreed that Saddam had an arsenal of WMD. In
fact, in the fall of last year, the U.N. Security Council voted
unanimously that Baghdad had WMD and must disarm. The disagreements
with Paris and Berlin came over how to disarm Saddam of his WMD, not
whether he had it. |

Life in the Vast Lane
Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose husband was
president for eight years prior to her election to the World's
Greatest Deliberative Body, has a White House memoir coming out next
week, and the Associated Press has a sneak preview. In the book she
reveals that her husband is--brace yourself--a liar:
…
The AP doesn't say if the senator offers an
apology to those she smeared as part of a "vast right-wing
conspiracy," but certainly one is due. |

Too Long Ago, Some Begged for an Income Tax.” Wall Street Journal.
June 4, 2003. p
.
Less than a century ago, the U.S. Congress, responding to pressure from
its constituents, voted to start collecting taxes on people's income.
Many Americans, especially small-business owners, farmers, trade unionists
and people who lived in the Midwest, West and South, cheered the new tax.
Finally, with this new tax, they might get some relief from their
financial struggles. |

17, 2003. The story made
headline news all week. Now, here is the story behind the story that the
liberal media has failed to tell. The man arrested and charged with nine felony
counts related to the terrifying abduction and sexual assault is an
illegal alien. As of this writing, not a single newspaper covering the
story has bothered to report on the accused attacker's immigration
history. … |

Radosh, Ronald. “An
Open Letter to the Rosenberg Son.” FrontPageMagazine.com. June
18, 2003.
For your own sake, I hope you are mentally
prepared for the inevitable day when the KGB’s own archives reveal that
your parents were guilty. Get ready, because it’s going to be soon. |
“the Venona decrypts conclusively prove that American
Communists were indeed agents of a foreign power”
Julius Rosenberg “put together a network of seven primary
sources and two active liaison-couriers, as well as three others who
carried out support work. All of these people were recruited, as was your
father, from the ranks of the American Communist Party.”
Julius Rosenberg “stole top secret military data, including
the proximity fuse that years later the Soviets used to shoot down Major
Francis Gary Powers’ U-2 plane. Klehr and Haynes refer to the fuse as “one
of the most innovative advances of American military technology,” for
which Moscow awarded your father a $1,000 bonus in March 1945.”
The government didn’t want the Rosenbergs to be executed;
it wanted to use the threat of the death penalty to break the Soviet spy
ring Julius Rosenberg had created.
The Rosenbergs could have saved their lives by confessing
but chose to die to protect the Party.

Paglia, Camille. “How
Far Will Good Intentions Take Hillary?” FrontPageMagazine.com
(The Times). June
18, 2003. Hillary’s overwrought account of her shock at this
revelation has been rightly received with disbelief and scorn in the US.
It has been widely reported that Hillary had for two decades acted as
overseer and disciplinarian in stifling rumours about Bill’s “bimbo
eruptions” — the inconvenient popping up of gal after gal claiming to have
been wooed by the Arkansas Lothario. That Hillary was under few illusions
about the Lewinsky affair from the start was suggested by her legalistic
parsings in a notorious early interview where she blamed “a vast
right-wing conspiracy” for the Clintons’ woes.
… Despite its status as a crucible of feminism, the
US has oddly lagged in producing viable female candidates for the top job
— partly because American presidents are also commanders-in-chief and most
women politicians (like Hillary) have been overly concerned with
caretaking issues at the expense of military expertise.
… The book is targeted to readers around the
world, where Hillary has been seen not as a controversial, sometimes
capricious or vindictive backstage in-fighter, but as an outspoken
defender of women’s rights. |

Schaffer,
Michael Currie. “When Monica takes
to the streets, Iraqis notice.” Jewish World Review. June 4, 2003. In Iraq, no set of wheels is held in higher regard
than the large, mostly white Toyota Land Cruiser sport utility vehicles
long favored by government officials, intelligence agents and VIPs from
Basra to Kirkuk.
Locals call the vehicles "Monicas," as in
Lewinsky, after the former White House intern whose appearance meets
Iraqi standards for both feminine and automotive beauty.
…
"They are a very tempting car," said Marwan
Shaban, a car dealer in the nearby northern city of Mosul. "Just as
Monica tempted Clinton, they will tempt you."

Hamilton, Argus. “And now for the

Howard Dean called John Kerry a copycat for stealing his applause lines.
The crop of Democratic candidates is just pitiful. If these guys don't get
more interesting, Hillary Clinton could be the first member of her family
to be drafted.
Hillary Clinton promotes her White House
memoir on ABC's 20/20 Sunday. Is this necessary? In this time of war and
recession, the last thing the country wants to read is another tell-all
by a woman who claims that she slept with Bill Clinton.

June 4, 2003. Surgeon General Richard Carmona said Tuesday that he
supports the banning of tobacco products — the first time that the
government’s top doctor and public health advocate has made such a
strong statement about the subject. Testifying at a House Energy and Commerce
subcommittee hearing on smokeless tobacco and "reduced risk" tobacco
products, Carmona was asked if he would "support the abolition of all
tobacco products." "I would at this point, yes," he replied. |
