Con-did-it interview

[WriterDom]

Anyone going to waste their time watching that piece of acting? When he wipes a tear away, is it going to touch you inside? Are you going to get choked up when he reminds us of his long record of public service? Are the democRATS going to remember how outspoken he was in his disgust with Clinton's affair?

The man is pond scum

I'm having a hard time deciding.

I don't want to be one of those people who argue about something they haven't seen.

Yet, do I really want to watch something that I know is really going to piss me off? Guaranteed to make me nauseous?

Bad little decision to have to make.

I don't know if I will bother to watch condit give canned answers to pre-approved questions.

I wish people did not say he anything to do with killing that girl (Chandra), just like Clinton didn't have sex wtih that other girl, (whatshername)

I don't know if I will bother to watch condit give canned answers to pre-approved questions.

Bigger fan of the hard hitting investigative journalism of Bush showing Matt Lauer his pretty, pretty ranch?

 

[lobito]

be good Johnny... be good be good be good be good be good be good be good be good be good Johnny, Sorry Men at Work hit me there for a minute.

Actually I doubt that anyone can really say that there is sucha thing as "hard hitting journalism" anymore. Sometimes 60 Minutes, BUT, rarely anymore, even they have pretty much sold out. All these news magazines anymore are, is entertainment, self promotion, etc.

Cheney as Alibi?

Who knows, who cares. Thought this was funny, though...Prior to this whole affair, the GOP had been wooing Condit, and many in the know said there was a good chance he was going to switch to Republican. Condit met several times with Cheney and other GOP'ers. Looks like those meetings might help save his ass...

Newsweek: New Evidence Supports Condit
Last Gap In Condit Schedule Now Filled

WASHINGTON, 11:44 a.m. EDT July 21, 2001 -- Newsweek magazine says there's new evidence that Gary Condit did not have a hand in Chandra Levy's disappearance.

Law enforcement sources quoted by the magazine say Vice President Richard Cheney can provide what amounts to an alibi for the California congressman.

The two had a noontime meeting May 1, right about the time the young intern was last heard from. Investigators say she was surfing the Web on her computer until about 1 p.m. that day. And she hasn't been heard from since.

The Cheney meeting fills in the only gap in Condit's schedule that had not been accounted for. Sources quoted by Newsweek say Condit did not appear to be overly distracted or under any stress.

Law enforcement sources say the session with Cheney provides a "reasonably persuasive" accounting of his time.

Meanwhile, Washington television station WUSA reported that Condit has agreed to a fourth meeting with police, and that negotiations on an FBI lie-detector test are continuing.

Nonexistent Phone Calls (and Other False Tales)
by Michael Isikoff
Newsweek August 6, 2001

Was Chandra Levy frantically trying to reach Rep. Gary Condit in the days before she disappeared? A flurry of last-minute calls has been widely reported--but it didn't happen. Last week sources with access to Levy's cell-phone records reviewed them for NEWSWEEK. The records show after Levy and Condit began their "friendship" last December, the intern frequently called a special phone line used by Condit to retrieve messages. (Investigators have dubbed this "the foo-foo line" because the callers heard a message tape that played, instead of Condit's voice, melodious background music.) Then within an hour or so of making the call, Levy would start calling her home message machine, sometimes up to six times in a row, apparently to see if Condit had returned the call.

But the calls to the foo-foo line tail off in mid-April. Levy called the line on April 13 when she was with her parents in Hershey, Pa. As for the crucial last week in April, the cell-phone records show no calls at all to Condit's foo-foo line, or to any other number used by the congressman, the sources say. (The last call Levy made from the cell phone, in the early afternoon of April 29, was to a friend at the Bureau of Prisons, who was out of town and didn't return to D.C. until late on the afternoon of May 2, after Levy is believed to have disappeared.) Law-enforcement sources say that Levy's home-phone records also show no phone calls to Condit during this period. "I don't know where people are getting this stuff," said one law-enforcement official.

Ironically, the phone records are slightly at variance with Condit's own account of their last few conversations. He told police that after seeing Levy in his apartment on April 24, he returned a call from her on April 29. Assuming Condit's account of a conversation that day is accurate, police say, it is possible she first called him from a pay phone or that he actually initiated the call. Either way, the available evidence points to no emotional crisis between Condit and Levy before she disappeared. Other widely circulated accounts are also inaccurate. The police have found no evidence that Levy was pregnant. Media speculation that a substance found in Condit's apartment might have been Levy's blood turns out to be entirely false, according to the FBI crime lab.

None of this means that Condit is off the hook. The Feds are still investigating whether Condit tried to dissuade two women friends from talking to the cops. But the relevance to the case is far from clear because neither knew Levy. As for what happened to her, police say that after three solid months of searching, they still haven't a clue.

Are the democRATS going to remember how outspoken he was in his disgust with Clinton's affair?

Oh absolutely...Funny how so many of Clinton's critics on both sides of the aisle - Condit, Bob Barr, Gingrich, et al - have been shown to be wife-abusers and cheaters. Kinda shows you how little of the impeachment scandal was driven by "moral outrage" and how much by dirty politics.

Dick Gephardt says Condit is an honorable man, and no honorable man would consider switching to the republican party.

I'm glad Dick is sticking up for him. If he runs for reelection, he'll win, but along the way, help republicans in the house.

funny how liberals squirm when you bring up Clinton, wanting to move on, but are quick to bring up Gingrich. How long has Gingrich been gone? 7 years? And if you really upset them, they bring up Nixon.

*shrugs* Hey, I was agreeing with you. You brought up the fact that Condit, like many others in Congress, made noises about Clinton while carrying on their own affairs. And you're right - it just proves how politically motivated the whole impeachment was. It's nice that we agree on something.

Is anything political not politically motivated? Gingrich resigned. Had Clinton done the same, republicans in national office would be as rare as Dallas Cowboy victories this season. Instead, we are stuck with the first president in history to hold office with only a MBA. In an election that only Todd or Al Gore could have lost.
