Watching Face the Nation yesterday the Very Serious People were like vultures on this phony scandal cooked up by a paid Republican flak, Peter Schweitzer. We're told by Peter Baker that the American people can't trust her because her husband has a worldwide philanthropic organization. We're told breathlessly that 'the Clintons handle all this money.'
The sexism here couldn't be more blatant-what part of it's her husband's initiative do these oh so serious people not understand? Do they think that Jeb Bush has never handled money? What gets me is that, Jeb has 'handled lots of corporate money' but in his case it's just for private interests. All his wealthy friends that give him money give it to him for private use. At least with Bill Clinton's initiative-again it's his not hers-it's for just some really important and wonderful philanthropic work.

The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassell-are you kidding me? What a wonderful person she is!-argues that the fact that there are no facts to support Schweitzer's yellow journalism just doesn't matter. All that matters is 'the appearance.' Right no wrongdoing has been shown but all that matters is that the GOP's opposition research team is trying to create the appearance that it has.
Then she piously declares that Bill Clinton should have shutdown his philanthropic concern while she was Secretary of State. People might think that if you work at the WSJ you take an attitude of 'Screw the little people, let them eat cake'-but regarding Ms. Strassell, Maria Antoinette couldn't have put it better. Right, all those poor people the world over have to be deprived of the CGI to please her and her snotty Republican friends at the Journal.
This is how great a gal this woman is: shes trying to Acorn the CGI. I'm calling her wonderful as I'm trying not to say what I really think of her. It's good to see that we clear up another sexist myth here: Ms. Strassell shows that you can be a woman and still lack all compassion for anyone but you and your rich friends. Turns out it's a myth that all women are so compassionate.
Indeed, in Schweitzer''s interview with George Stephanopoulos on yesterday he couldn't explain why he had no facts other than just to keep falling back on 'Well, gee, I'm just an author I don't have to prove anything I just have to engage in baseless speculation and innuendo.'

Mr. Schweitzer is under the impression that authors by definition live in a fact free universe-he must be very close with his friends at Fox News. We know these are the circles he runs with.
If I were Lucifer-the Devil; you know the 'Prince of Darkness'-I'd be nervous that Schweitzer is trying to take my job-at least as far as being the 'Father of Lies.' The story that he's going to have a Jeb Bush book to follow Hillary's seems to be yet another one of his lies:
"Journalists have suggested that conservative author Peter Schweizer's forthcoming book attacking Hillary Clinton is more credible because he will follow it up with a similar book examining Jeb Bush. But according to his publisher, no such book is in the works: Schweizer's reporting on Bush will be published on the website ofhis non-profit organization."

He attacked Disney for 'endorsement of the homosexual life style.'
If you are a liberal, please don't tell me you are taking anything he's saying seriously-'But it is a serious charge, Hillary has handled a lot of money and she should explain and reassure us that she didn't use her clout to get the CGI deals.'
We need to close ranks against this. There is nothing wrong with anything Hillary did regarding the CGI. It is her husband's organization and no one has proved she ever abused her position regarding it in her time as SOS.Full stop. Any liberal saying anything else is being part of the problem.
If someone claims otherwise the burden of proof is on them. Schwetizer is clearly not able to meet this burden-not even close.

But according to his publisher, no such book is in the works: Schweizer's reporting on Bush will be published on the website ofhis non-profit organization."
"Over the past few days numerous media outlets have begun reporting on allegations Schweizer makes in his forthcoming book Clinton Cash about allegedly unethical ties between the Clinton Foundation and actions Hillary Clinton purportedly made as secretary of state. Critics -- including Media Matters -- have noted that Schweizer is a Republican activist and strategist with a history of reporting errors."
"Pushing back against this narrative, Bloomberg Politics reported on April 23 that in contrast to the "left-wing clamor that Schweizer is simply out to get Hillary Clinton," "Schweizer is working on a similar investigation of Jeb Bush's finances that he expects to publish this summer."
"Picking up the story, Politico reported that Schweizer "is reportedly working on another book that he expects to release in the summer. Only this time, he'll be writing about Jeb Bush." CNN likewise reported that the "book on Bush... would be published this summer."
"But HarperCollins, the publisher of Clinton Cash, denies that any such book is in the works.
A spokesperson for the publisher told Media Matters that the forthcoming work is "not a book" but rather a "report of the Government Accountability Institute," where Schweizer is president.
"We have nothing to do with it," she added.

Like I said, they're trying to Acorn the CGI. I notice that in his interview with Stephanopoulos he kept trying to claim disgraced GOP Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell as a precedent. So is Schweitzer saying that a crime has been committed? His answer was to say 'Gee I don't know, I'm just an author, but it ought to be looked at.'
P.S. Just to give you a little more of the flavor of the kind of person we're talking about with Schwetizer check this out.
He attacked Disney for 'endorsement of the homosexual life style.'
