Obama administration sex scandal

It’s about time. Illicit sex is about the only scandal that hasn’t arisen so far.

“Some of the allegations are against then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s security detail who allegedly hired prostitutes, a U.S. ambassador accused of trolling public parks for paid sex and a security official in Beirut committing sexual assaults on foreign nationals.”

If any agency knows how to cover up a scandal it’s the State Department. Think Benghazi. Not to mention their former queen Lady Macbeth. If you were married to the Groper you might be expert at covering up sex scandals, too.

Partisan IRS: Independent prosecutor or more hearings?

Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal plumps for the prosecutor:

“…down the road an independent counsel is going to be needed because the House does not have all the prosecutorial powers an independent counsel would—the powers to empanel a grand jury, grant immunity to potential witnesses, find evidence of criminal wrongdoing, indict.”

The Journal itself is opposed:

“This scandal is best handled in Congressional hearings that educate the public in the next year rather than wait two or three years for potential indictments.”

Mollie Hemingway at Riccochet agrees. And she also has none of Noonan’s taint as a onetime (2008) Wormtongue apologist:

“There’s definitely an argument that public accountability is key here, particularly given how devastating this incident has been to the public trust.”

I’d like both, actually, a special prosecutor to indict the partisan bastards and congressional hearings to shame them. But if I have to choose, and it seems I do, because a prosecutor would tuck everything out of sight for years, I’ll place my bet on the hearings.

And meanwhile pay equal attention to the Benghazi takedown of Lady Macbeth and her thankfully dwindling political future.

Changing the subject

Glenn Greenwald’s Guardian piece on how the National Security Agency is data mining American telephone calls (just the call numbers, folks, not grandma’s conversations, at least not so far) has the ring of a planned distraction from the real scandals engulfing President Wormtongue and his leftist minions.

After all, Greenwald is a noted Leftist and the Guardian a Leftist rag of the first water and who would they likely try to protect but another Leftist? Certainly they wouldn’t seek to expose him. Plus their “big story” is about six years old. It was detailed exhaustively by USToday back in 2007, as the WSJ noted yesterday in an editorial supporting the call collections for traffic analysis.

Not everyone agrees, of course, such as Mead and Steyn. But they have always enjoyed piling on. And there’s the apparently independent PRISM revelation which has all sorts of  economic implications. I doubt the IRS furor will get lost in the shuffle, but Benghazi might and it’s the one scandal capable of getting Barry impeached and Lady Macbeth politically neutered.

Meanwhile, get this, after a long silence, ol’ Worm has deigned to appear in public to “answer” a “furor” over a “scandal.” I smell a rat and his name is Glenn Greenwald.

UPDATE:  The PRISM revelation was not independent but came from the WaPo, another sterling backer of the administration, and the Guardian (perhaps working together) so the rats are multiplying.

Our creepy president

Barry’s recent reactions to the multiple scandals of his administration are revealing the real man behind the passive “black” mask:

“It turns out that they have nothing to do with him: he has no idea what is going on in the Treasury Department, the Department of Justice, the State Department, the IRS, or, apparently, anywhere else, other than what he reads in the newspaper. He takes no responsibility…”

Not to mention his baldfaced lie (at the Defense University, of all places) that the Islamists are on the ropes and we can safely and immediately conclude the Bush war on terror. In fact, as Spengler rebuts:

“[W]e face tens of thousands–-perhaps millions–-of anonymous enemies armed with cheap weapons,  but advantaged by the element of surprise and the will to commit suicide in order to damage us. We have entered a new and terrible epoch of war–and the president has announced that the war is over.”

Of course President Pinocchio’s delusions are only surprising to those who have not been paying attention to the leader of the Choom Gang. His entire claim to fame all along has been race. How else could an opponent of bans on late-term abortions in the Illinois legislature have been elected U.S. senator and then president?

Otherwise, as Sultan Knish succinctly explains, Barry is no less than Grima Wormtongue:

“The man in the White House clawed his way to power by stabbing his mentor in the back, leaking the divorce records of his political opponents and throwing out the votes of Democrats in Florida and Michigan to claim the nomination. And he was just getting started.

“In the last election, Obama urged voters to punish our ‘enemies’. It was a window into the mindset of a man who moans and groans about partisan politics, but talks like Huey Long when he gets in front of the right audience.”

The Kingfish in black face, well, the tan man in “black” political cover. Our recipient of the politically-correct Nobel Peace Prize is anything but peaceful, just like his prize predecessor Yasser Arafat, the world’s then oldest terrorist. Although Arafat had the virtue of being open about it most of the time.

If the loyal Democrat stenographers of the snooze media hadn’t been diligently covering Barry’s sorry ass since 2008, his duplicity wouldn’t be keeping his polls up. He’d be as disgraced as he is disgraceful.

And then, briefly, his chief stenographer, the NYTimes, turned on him. Until Drudge used the line “has lost all credibility” in a headline and some NYTimes elves snuck in to their Web site and rewrote it to soften it. Still in the tank.

UPDATE:  More consequences of Wormtongue’s creepy lies

Slick Willie: Making more than he did selling pardons

He was/is to be paid $11,111 a minute for his upcoming appearance in Israel for President Perez’s 90th birthday. Then it became so controversial among Israelis that the payment now is in doubt.

A drop in the cesspool, actually, for the $13.4 million the Groper “earned” from speeches in 2011. And Monica? Where is the about-the-same-age-as-his-daughter Monica these days?

Hopefully glad to be rid of him, along with the other women he only fondled without their permission. I honestly can’t watch the pardon-selling swine without feeling as dirty as he is.

Indeed, inviting him to your 90th birthday would be like hiring a stripper for your wedding anniversary.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Nazi past

You have to wonder how much history President Wormtongue studied between hits of Choom back in his shadowy youth in an elite Hawaiian prep school before Affirmative Action began further greasing his collegiate wheels in California, New York and Massachusetts.

For instance there’s the Nazi connection to the Muslim Brotherhood he thinks so much of and its blatant anti-Semitic agenda—only coincidentally, I’m sure, also found in today’s Hamas charter.

From the Volokh Conspiracy:

“The Brotherhood’s campaign used not only Nazi-like patterns of action and slogans but also German funding. As the historian Brynjar Lia recounts in his monograph on the Brotherhood, ‘Documents seized in the flat of Wilhelm Stellbogen, the Director of the German News Agency affiliated to the German Legation in Cairo, show that prior to October 1939 the Muslim Brothers received subsidies from this organization.

“Stellbogen was instrumental in transferring these funds to the Brothers…coordinated by Hajj Amin al-Husseini and some of his Palestinian contacts in Cairo.'”

On this subject, though, Barry probably is innocent by reason of laziness. He’s far too self-satisfied to do any actual research before embarking on his Islamist-lovin’ policies, or anything else, for that matter.

Meanwhile, back at the Oval Office:  “Leaders of groups identified by the federal government as fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood are given top seating for presidential speeches and are welcomed into the Oval Office to offer their advice prior to presidential trips to the Middle East.”

Gee, do you suppose this might have had something to with the Democrat IRS audits of pro-Israel charities?

“I am not here as a serf or vassal…

….I am not begging my lords for mercy. I’m a born free American woman, wife, mother and citizen. And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place.

“It’s not your responsibility to look out for my well-being, and to monitor my speech. It’s not your right to assert an agenda. Your post, the post that you occupy, exists to preserve American liberty. You’ve sworn to perform that duty. And you have faltered.”
