Delusional Liberal Extemists

Delusional liberal extremists are chronically bitter about the bi-partisan impeachment of President Clinton.

The letter below contains the relevant language from the column and the petition cited:

Editor,

Liberal extremist and regular Boston Globe columnist, Mr. Robert Kuttner, is demonstrably delusional when he writes, "As for fishing expeditions, compared with what? The Whitewater investigation . . . veered . . . into sexual expose - which had what connection with Whitewater? Now there was a partisan fishing expedition (Gonzales should be impeached, March 24, A11)."

The following is excerpted from Attorney General Janet Reno's petition to the Court on January 16, 1998 requesting the expansion of the Whitewater investigation to include the matters Mr. Kuttner referenced:

"In accordance with the Independent Counsel Reauthorization Act of 1994, I hereby notify in writing the special division of the court that I have commenced a preliminary investigation . . . As a result of my inquiry into this matter, I (Blogger's Note: Bold and italics mine for emphasis and for the benefit of any delusional liberal extremist that may read this) request expansion of the jurisdiction of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr to further investigate and determine whether prosecution is warranted. The court has already been informed of this matter and my (Blogger's Note: Bold and italics mine for emphasis and for the benefit of any delusional liberal extremists that may read this) request orally . . . It would be appropriate for Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr to handle this matter because he is currently investigating similar allegations involving possible efforts to influence witnesses in his own investigation. Some potential subjects and witnesses in this matter overlap with those in his ongoing investigation . . . . "

The Federal three-judge panel granted General Reno's request.

But delusional liberal extremists can believe what they want to believe (we know they do anyway!) regardless of the facts. (End of letter.)

For those visiting this site for the first time since my access issues from a week ago, please see the post immediately below that was posted on March 23. The letter has since been modified and re-submitted so that it could be published any day (the references assuming publication on Saturday, March 24 were eliminated) as it was not published on March 24.

Your ability to back up your points of view with actual facts and quotes is impressive. Although you sometimes omit relevant information or slant it(Conscience catches you once in a while), you really do a good job of pleading your case as in today's post. Nicely done.

newsjunkie,

Sorry for the delayed reply; I saw your comment a day or two ago but just haven't been able to get to it.

Yes, yes, yes. Points have to be supported by facts.

As far as not helping the opposition by providing information that might support their view: guilty. They have plenty of news outlets to help them get their (distorted) message out.

Thank you for the supportive statement.
