This is an nod to comment that Pat Robertson made after Haiti was hit by the earthquake in January. He said that Haiti is being punished by God for pushing the French out of their country in the 18th century. You know, there are lots of crazy old men out there that say the most ridiculous things, it doesn't mean the media has to report on it. The man lost all credibility after the 9-11 comment.

The Report would not exist without these important secondary figures. Ken Starr is responsible the Report and for wasting about $70 million when coupled with the earlier investigations of Whitewater and Travelgate. Linda Tripp is a key figure for the Report, without her recordings of Monica we may have never known in excruciating detail exactly what happened between Bill and Monica.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992226161909894065.post-85124895909170323262010-09-23T08:16:00.000-04:002010-09-23T08:16:57.117-04:00The Starr Report Tea Set (collectors edition)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvH1XGTrgEHr4QYeQCaQVvCOVAvVwXRDozClxNJWKtVipLk1PisfNQoUf1jGViS5A9V9ohDXI5k2O87lsEH6qxNwxes5GMcXszt4Pr0oAOeXNdl2IwZeuvESFV00sGKgWYnyR14WnfDF4/s1600/starr_report_creamerbil_sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvH1XGTrgEHr4QYeQCaQVvCOVAvVwXRDozClxNJWKtVipLk1PisfNQoUf1jGViS5A9V9ohDXI5k2O87lsEH6qxNwxes5GMcXszt4Pr0oAOeXNdl2IwZeuvESFV00sGKgWYnyR14WnfDF4/s400/starr_report_creamerbil_sm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Detail - Bill and Monica Creamer<br />

James Carville<br />
It was challenging to gather enough dirt for Carville. I hate to say this but Carville did not employ the same tactics and strategies that Rove and Atwater used, no racist overtones, no use of homophobia and no whisper campaigns of mental illness against an opponent's wife. Boring! The only "dirty" campaign trick was use of the lottery as a voter gimmick of solving that age old question of how to keep revenue flowing without (gasp!) raising taxes. Carville's solution was the lottery, it would generate revenue without the need to increase taxes. The problem with the lottery solution is that it is shouldered by the majority of people that buy lottery tickets (the lower to moderate income individuals) so it effectively becomes a voluntary tax on those individuals. It wasn't even used in any national campaigns, mainly state elections in the south.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992226161909894065.post-13512898755187134802010-08-31T07:55:00.001-04:002010-08-31T07:58:21.579-04:00The Political Strategist Commemorative Plate Series - Rove<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-eqrgnYcXy4NUtvQSrMq3Nco4wT8MWWYXqy_YI4ZWe6RLTrIu-giUnDClb9A9hwRFIi_k3w1diDLZOe_NZNMZvyisxEuvREuyblmr6GjSgT1AGRl3V0J3UA4-Q7VuyvPK1oJEdUeIgc/s1600/roveplate_sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-eqrgnYcXy4NUtvQSrMq3Nco4wT8MWWYXqy_YI4ZWe6RLTrIu-giUnDClb9A9hwRFIi_k3w1diDLZOe_NZNMZvyisxEuvREuyblmr6GjSgT1AGRl3V0J3UA4-Q7VuyvPK1oJEdUeIgc/s320/roveplate_sm.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Karl Rove<br />
Ah, Rove provided a rich resource for this composition. If anything I had to eliminate images. I stuck with the classic motifs: Swift boats, chads, terror alert levels and John McCain's daughter ( not Meghan). I drew many similarities from the strategies that Rove employed in his two campaigns for George W. to the masterful Atwater campaign of 1988.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992226161909894065.post-48230327740551905512010-08-17T20:27:00.000-04:002010-08-17T20:27:13.405-04:00The Political Strategist Commemorative Plate Series<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRCo8w_K9yG4iJscjND5qC7gqrNnqdMwCf3xB6pKYZLEu-EiynaujAJiyQdxFeU8igMvoG7aVLf-zUPZoGqMyXm7NS1O5c4Za1ceg43FfjO0YdCMO4aVe2ixnng1t3vtwM4UppwUllT4/s1600/atwater_anderson_web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRCo8w_K9yG4iJscjND5qC7gqrNnqdMwCf3xB6pKYZLEu-EiynaujAJiyQdxFeU8igMvoG7aVLf-zUPZoGqMyXm7NS1O5c4Za1ceg43FfjO0YdCMO4aVe2ixnng1t3vtwM4UppwUllT4/s400/atwater_anderson_web.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Lee Atwater<br />
Athough, Atwater had a short lived career (compared to Karl Rove) as campaign manager and strategist, he remains one of the most infamous. Atwater's 1988 campaign had it all....racism, flag burning, mental illness rumors and Kitty Dukakis. He had what I would call a textbook perfect method to harness the fears of the public to win against an otherwise unprepared, weak opponent, Michael Dukakis. Like, Dukakis' campaign many more poorly-run Democratic presidential campaigns would follow (Gore, Kerry). Atwater set a precedent for campaign strategies that would be followed closely by Karl Rove.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992226161909894065.post-72277471620117745182010-07-01T07:58:00.004-04:002010-11-02T08:12:25.288-04:00Firsties!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWRq7ZqfHicyDwY-wiRmmzC6GBY6-uWidaX0rgCxKF8lI3m2XF9yyZ2KkPfUId7rQn_G3WcTG84nhbRKgwldg3Z4KvmmVUSeoWOpt5-vfXwO_6oeRQP-k_io3xiK611pT5lq2Is1UtlXI/s1600/rahm_emanuel.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488906196020656050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWRq7ZqfHicyDwY-wiRmmzC6GBY6-uWidaX0rgCxKF8lI3m2XF9yyZ2KkPfUId7rQn_G3WcTG84nhbRKgwldg3Z4KvmmVUSeoWOpt5-vfXwO_6oeRQP-k_io3xiK611pT5lq2Is1UtlXI/s320/rahm_emanuel.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 295px;" /></a><br />
