Doc's DIS-patch
Gonzo Calls On Ken Starr to "Get Right With the Law"
by Dave "Doctor" Gonzo

Dec. 4, 1999 -- NEW YORK (APJNS) -- You-know-who's at it again.

Failed prosecutor Ken Starr is continuing his "trial by media" of Bill Clinton -- with choice comments made to a press breakfast yesterday that were promptly picked up yesterday by his media cohorts.

Here are sections from stories carried late yesterday by Scripps News Service and Reuters -- with my own "asnides" added in gray for your reading pleasure.

WASHINGTON [Scripps] -- Former independent counsel Kenneth Starr said Friday he would accept a nomination to the Supreme Court if some future president offered it to him.

Starr, who remains deluded by the "importance" of his "search for the truth," must actually think that a Republican dumb enough to nominate him might just win a future election.

Starr, who headed the $47 million, four-year investigations of President  Clinton that sparked the impeachment battle in Congress a year ago, told reporters at a breakfast meeting that he's not seeking the job, but wouldn't reject nomination to the Supreme Court just because it would be controversial.

He'd let Congress and the American people do the rejecting for him.

"I would not run away from that because I'm scared of a fight,'' Starr said. "If someone wanted an interesting confirmation, I would look forward to it."

...that is, if he isn't disbarred before there is an opening on the nation's highest court.

Starr, who resigned as independent counsel in October, said he is currently writing a book on the Supreme Court titled "The Supreme Court in American Life."

Subtitled "A Handbook on Subverting American Jurisprudence," Starr describes  the efforts of right-wing Republicans to stuff the courts with judicial activists in an effort to strip Americans of their Constitutional rights since they have failed to do so at the executive or legislative levels.

Starr said he hopes he will fare better in history than he did in his four-year-long investigation of President Clinton. "My hope is for a fair and balanced assessment,'' he said. 

"Fair and balanced" -- as in Fox News Channel!  The line got a good laugh from those familiar with the slogan -- and the network that's about as fair and balanced as a speech written by Himmler.

"These were career men and women who did their best and honest job."

...and nevertheless failed to shame Clinton out of office in the OIC's  "best and honest" Stalinesque set-up.

[Reuters] Starr, at a breakfast meeting with newspaper reporters, said Clinton should acknowledge publicly that he was untruthful in a January 1998 deposition in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case to cover up his relationship with Lewinsky.

"Far be it from me to suggest a specific avenue of redress, but in some way, through some manifestation of genuine sorrow and acceptance of responsibility, the president should get himself right with the law," Starr said, according to participants at the session organized by Godfrey Sperling, senior columnist at the Christian Science Monitor.

Get right with the law?  Starr can't prove Clinton lied!!!  So what's good for the goose is good for the gander.  Therefore, American Politics Journal now calls upon Kenneth Winston Starr himself to get right with the law -- and acknowledge publicly that the Office of Independent Counsel committed conspiracy to suborn perjury, conceal evidence exculpatory of President and Mrs. Clinton, and set up an unlawful perjury trap that would get any lesser prosecutor canned and possibly disbarred.

Sure -- we don't have the smoking gun that provides an airtight case proving his office engaged in any of this -- but what the heck?

"Far be it from me to suggest a specific avenue of redress," said Dave "Doctor" Gonzo, "but in some way, perhaps by personally paying back the $60-plus-million that his witch hunt cost American taxpayers and admitting his highly partisan motives and corrupt conduct, the disgraced ex-Independent Counsel should get himself right not only with the law, but the American people.  Maybe he could convince Dick Scaife to loan him the money.  'Nuff said."
