What do Barry Bonds, Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney have in Common?
After hearing of the indictment on Barry Bonds and finishing “Love Me, Hate Me: Barry Bonds and the Making of an Antihero,” I now know how Democrats must have felt about Bill Clinton.
I’ve been a San Francisco Giants fan most of my life. I wanted Bonds to be innocent because I loved the Giants.
But after finishing “Love Me, Hate Me" all I wanted was for Bonds to retire before he “broke” Hank Aaron's record because he was destroying a game I love.
Democrats must have felt the same way. They must have wanted Clinton to be innocent of perjury as well as of sexually abusing and raping women. At a certain point they must have wanted him to retire because he was destroying a party they loved.
I’m beginning to think Cheney is the Republican Bill Clinton. The parallels between Cheney, Bonds and Clinton are scary:
-Greg Anderson, Barry Bonds' friend, was held in contempt of court and sent to prison for refusing to answer questions from a federal grand jury that is investigating Barry Bonds for possible perjury that Bonds denied that he ever knowingly took steroids.
-Susan McDougal, Bill Clinton’s friend, was held in contempt of court and sent to prison for refusing to answer questions from a federal grand jury that is investigating Bill Clinton for possible perjury that Clinton denied any knowledge of an illegal $300,000 loan.
-I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Dick Cheney’s friend, is going to be sent to prison for lying to a federal grand jury that investigated Dick Cheney’s actions to undermine a critic of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
It appears fairly clear now that Cheney railroaded President Bush and the US into the Iraq war with “cherry-picked intelligence.”
Ann Coulter said “Clinton was not even prosecuted for obstruction of justice offenses so egregious that the entire Supreme Court staged a historic boycott of his State of the Union address in 2000.”
I'm sure Hillary is hoping the indictment of Barry Bonds goes away quickly before people remember Bill Clinton's perjury.
