There they are, a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of Australian politics.' -Mark Latham Cheers mate Good stuff and well said Mr Pilger, but methinks you borrowed a fine image of our ex opposition leader:

Gall-stones (and, let's face it, who has more gall than Clinton?) blocking the passage of bile, inducing nausea and vomiting. Exacerbated by the consumption of fat, a well-known Clinton failing. Seems unavoidable. Only solution-the removal of the infected organ. One can but hope!

Now we will see how hot its publishing leadership and their obedient followers become over Billary as Election 2008 enters its concluding stages. I'm glad the formidable Pilger seems intent on asking and answering his own questions-- thought police be damned. (I would love to observe him following the 9/11 threads.)

That Bill Clinton is an icon to some and that people would pay large sums of money to be in his presence is disgusting. But to the American and British mind, the killing of vast numbers of people in other countries is considered to be merely part of the cost of doing business and making a profit. Our world is lost. Our icons are billionaires and mass murderers! A society, a nation, all can be judged by their icons.

Not so much in Kosovo where big Bill initiated the wide spread use of DU, along with the terroristic bombing of all things civilian. No, far beyond this was his insidious, but well meaning, sanctions on the poor people of Iraq. Remember Mad Maddie and her "we think it was well worth it?" How could the so-called Democratic voters, much less anyone, ignore mass murder on a scale like that?

Fortunately we have a growing independent movement in the US that is increasingly able to confront Clintonism by building grassroots networks across the country. (You might be interested in independentvoting dot org) It's ever more clear that any change in direction for America will come from the bottom up, with independent voters leading the way.
