"Rich" Is Someone Else

Ruth Marcus of the WaPo excoriates Hillary's "Poor Little Rich Girl" shtick but misses a key point:

You are truly well-off by anyone’s definition of the term. And hard work is the guys tearing up my roof right now. It’s not flying by private jet to pick up a check for $200,000 to stand at a podium for an hour.

Per ABC News, back in 2012 Hillary's net worth was between $5 and $25 miillion. That is not even walking-around money for the Hollywood billionaires and hedge-fund heroes with whom the Clinton's hob nob. And let's be clear - Hillary may be flying on private jets, but she is not flying in her private jet - she still has to cadge rides from friends and supporters, just as she has to borrow summer homes.

In her world she is not rich; she is a hanger-on with valuable political connections.

P.S. There is always room n the Democratic Party for an Affirmative Action hack with no relevant experience.

Income inequality is a bitch especiallly when you are running for POTUS and need those suburban paycheck by paycheck votes. But heh, those aspirations in middle-class America are best illustrated by how much the Kardashians are role models for making it big.

Hillary has become our first political reality show. Who knows, Bill may start a rap album.

POLITCO: Lois Lerner's lawyer speaks

It was an accident, said Taylor, a founding partner of Zuckerman Spaeder LLP: “She didn’t have anything to do with the destruction of her computer.”

Lerner came to work one day in late spring 2011 and was surprised to flick on her computer to find a “blue screen,” he said. He said she tried to get it fixed since her practice of archiving was to simply save things on her computer. Democrats have released emails showing Lerner contacting the IRS IT department to show she tried to resolve the problem.

She never backed them up on a USB or separate hard drive, he said, ruling out a line of questioning posed by House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) about whether Lerner could have the emails stored elsewhere on a portable device.

No idea why they don't just quote the guy directly, but the above contains no claim that any of those "things" were emails.

NY OBSERVER: BREAKING: Meet Emmet Sullivan, IRS Judge Who Once Sicced a Special Prosecutor on DOJ

Judge Sullivan is the judge who held federal prosecutors in contempt, dismissed an unjust indictment against a United States Senator [after the Senator was safely replaced by a Democrat], and publicly excoriated the Department of Justice. He also had the moral conviction, courage and gumption to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate [and whitewash] the Justice Department and the individual prosecutors.

[Captain Hate]

She never backed them up on a USB or separate hard drive, he said, ruling out a line of questioning posed by House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) about whether Lerner could have the emails stored elsewhere on a portable device.

Of course she didn't (and when he says "her computer, I assume he's talking about the one she used at work). She was the director of the IRS. There was and is a large staff of IT support people which do these things for her and the rest of the IRS. If Issa was going to ask her that and not expect to hear what I just said, he needs to be removed.

[maryrose]

CH:
Absolutely correct.Lerner's lawyer is speaking in babblegab, the distinct language of progs when they are cornered and know that nothing they say will be believed. Just make stuff up then. I also noted the lack of the words e-mails. Her computer, her work computer -again fog it up so no one can understand what you are saying. Personally I think her lawyer should just shut up because down the road -obstruction charges await him.

[maryrose]

O"reilly says Hil grew up not so rich so now she sees herself as poor no matter what. That explains the used underwear. But let's face it-she and Bill will always be wannabees when it comes to the big bucks. She 's like the Kennedy's with no money in her pockets to pay the dinner tab. But she doesn't have inherited wealth or position or a place to call her own in the Hamptons. Ergo she is poor.I am glad she is not poor in spirit because that would mean that she gets to see God in the Beatitudes logic.

[rich@gmu]

[Jeff Dobbs]

Well played, rich!

Insty quoted Ruth with a few other lines, and I sent him this...

You quoted Ruth Marcus on Instapundit:

Which gets me to the second set of issues: how you’re continuing to ­vacuum up the money, and the aura of greediness it exudes. Madam Secretary, enough already. This behavior borders on compulsion, like refugees who once were starved and now hoard food. You’re rich beyond your wildest imaginings! You don’t need any more!”

I think it perfectly (and obviously) worth pointing out that as a political matter, Hillary might want to tone down the exuberance of her wealth, and more bluntly shut the hell up about it. Maybe it would make sense for Hillary to cut down on the speaking fees . . . again as a political matter.

But as an ethical/moral matter? Ruth Marcus is as wrong here as President Obama was when he said, "We're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point, you've made enough money."

The left always thinks there is a static amount of money - and if any person earns more than what the left thinks is "fair", there will be women, children and minorities who will go hungry as a direct result.

Balderdash.

[daddy]

Thought this worthy of mention.

Today was on a train ride southbound out of London, heading from the London Bridge Station to the village of Orpington. Passing thru one of the small suburb stops I noticed that among the advertisement posters you see as you enter each train stop, usually advertising new plays in London or new Movies, there was one of Hillary's new book, "Hard Choices."

It was the same size as all the other posters, approximately 3 feet tall by 2 feet wide, and properly mounted. It had the book's cover printed on about 50% of the poster, with the photoshopped pic of a serious yet magically youthful Hillary, and above the book in big letters it read something like, "Revealed now, the true story of "Hard Choices" that changed our world!"

It seemed completely nutty to me, posted in some 'nothing of a village' train station, but I have to imagine they have spent a ton of money over here doing the same trick in ton's of 'nothing of a village' little train stations.

I did not see it posted anywhere in the City, so maybe it takes a village to try to get Hillary's message out. Regardless, somebody is obviously shovelling out beaucoup bucks to try to peddle Hillary's stinker of a Bio, and I suspect they are taking even a worse bath over here than they are stateside.

I wonder if a new AG in 2016 could even get in the way of a federal-judge-mandated six- or ten-year special "investigation" of the IRS.

Obama and Holder could even complain about an over-reaching investigation of a non-scandal, knowing that the whole thing is staged.

[Jeff Dobbs]

Ext:

Sure. And unless we want the government interfering (or Ruth Marcus to have dictatorial powers), the school will have to deal with the consequences of their economic decision.

Just like CUNY hiring Paul Krugman.

I DO NOT begrudge Krugman for taking six figures from them for doing basically nothing than being the ass that he is.

I DO HOPE CUNY reaps a reward from such a decision that smacks them upside the head like a hit and run Sunday morning hangover.

Extraneus-

don't think I've mentioned it but I've found your comments interesting regarding the "lost email" story.

[Jeff Dobbs]

I just lost a big Pelosi rant because I copy/pasted the Ext quote instead of finishing my Pelosi comment.

Anyway, her quote was...

Pelosi explained, "We are all Americans -- north and south in this hemisphere," and urged America to see this as not a crisis but an opportunity "to be helpful." She also said she wished she could simply "take home" the thousands of children temporarily housed in the overburden facilities.

I've got to go cook a couple of ribeyes.

And auto-play vids should be subject to the death penalty.

[Extraneus]

I WILL NEVER say that the state should intervene in any fashion against such a thing . . . even if it enriches lefties.

Me neither, and I agree with your larger point. I was just commenting on the static pie part of your note to Insty. Seems like some of these bribes really are taking money from "children and minorities."

[Jeff Dobbs]

I hear ya, Ext. In a true free market - the decision to pay Hillary would be on what her speech meant to the economic interests of the institution (and secondarily it's members).

In a non-free market in which we currently live, the decision to pay Hillary can enrich the administrators and others in future "considerations" for all sorts of donations and decisions that have nothing to do with the market and everything to do with the "friends of" benefit.

Wish it weren't so. But you're right, it is so.

Thanks, Rich. The whole email backup thing seems like an obvious scam to me. Which public corporation wouldn't love to set up a six-month backup system that never saves anything the IRS might be interested in for longer than that? I wonder if the IRS told their employees, or certain select senior drones, that they might want to delete anything potentially incriminating, safe in the knowledge that a congressional investigation could easily be stalled for six months.

[daddy]

Daddy are you hitting the RAF War Museum airfieldin Britain this trip. I d love to get a report. Cheers.

NK,

We are thinking of doing that tomorrow if we can motivate, and if so I'll give a report.

There are 3 of us this trip, and of the 3 of us I had the best luck today. We all took the train into London town, then split up. One guy wanted to do a Walking Tour with Guide of the Westminster area, but the skies opened up and clobbered them about half way thru the tour. Then after that was over with and the skies cleared, he said he walked forever down to the Imperial War Museum and it was closed for renovations, and by then he was beat.

The 2nd guy is a Tennis fan. The company gives away 2 free Box seats for each day of the French Open to us guys since the Company is some sort of sponsor, so we get free open bar and amazing spreads of food and if you're over there at the time and put in for it you get all that for free. He's done that twice and loved it. Today he wanted to do Wimbledon, which we don't sponsor, so when he called and found out all the tickets for today were sold out, except for the "Handicapped Seating Tickets", he put in and reserved 2 of those seats, under the ruse that he would pretend he was supposed to push some guy in a wheelchair and he'd simply say that the wheelchair guy couldn't make it so oh well, especially since he noticed at the French Open how many handicapped seats were empty. Well he went,but his scheduled matches at Wimbledon rained out today when he got there, so he got his money back, but he had foolishly texted his wife that that was his ticket scheme, and she went apeshit angry at him for screwing handicapped folks, and she was apparently lashing into him something fierce by cellphone and Skype, and then when he couldn't take it anymore, she started texting and e-mailing him with even more scat. Me and the other guy are laughing our butts off at that move, and trying to figure out how best to spread "Handicaps" new nickname around the fleet:)

daddy,

Did you see the faint outline of the old tennis courts (Sphairistikè in the garden of Darwin's house? He was an original proponent of Lawn Tennis and played it socially with his friends and family.

JiB,

I thought that was really cool. I sure wouldn't have guessed it, and I also thought it interesting that the court was not an exact rectangle. The guided tour said that at the time it was built, the rules said that court was to be slightly pinched in at the center, somewhat like what a bow-tie looks like, tho' the pinch was much less pronounced. I guess that's the rules in Sphairistikè which I had never heard of before.

I really enjoyed the countryside and was very fortunate to see a deer way at the far end of The Sand Walk when I did that lap. I startled it and it shot off running down the path and into the woods. I asked back at the house if that was normal and if they had tame deer running around, and they told me that none of them had ever seen a deer on the Sand Walk, so it made my day.

not sure the judge could appoint a special investigator or what not because in the Stevens case it was a specific misconduct of the prosecutors during trial he wanted investigated. Surprisingly, the investigation turned up all matter of misconduct, much of it intentional, but still the appointed investigator recommended against criminal contempt charges.

the punishments meted out were 40 and 15 day suspensions.

I think he was appointed by Reagan, promoted by H.W.Bush and again by Clinton. I am hopeful, because he was incensed by the Stevens prosecution. His error was hiring a feckless special prosecutor. I have no idea if he can do that again, but it is doubtful he would find anyone more feckless than anyone Holder would appoint.

At any rate, it doesn't seem like he suffers funny business easily.

Hillary sucks the oxygen out of other candidates. She does this because she bee-line's in on the money.

You can't run if you can't raise funds.

For instance, at one time, before the George Washington Bridge scandal, Chris Christie could go anywhere and draw a crowd. Now everyone knows he's through.

The message on Hillary, on the other hand, doesn't get investigated. The MSM just plays dumb.

Behind the scenes people with ambition are still looking around for an opening. While examples of how dumb the GOP can be ... can go all the way back to 1948 when the GOP discarded General Douglas MacArthur, because he was judged to be "too independent."

Truman aimed at MacArthur, in order to take him out of the running for 1952. Eisenhower was asked. (He was actually asked by both parties; but he felt he'd be more independent if he ran as a republican.)

[Extraneus]

But you're right, Jane.

Sullivan was appointed by President Reagan to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on October 3, 1984. On November 25, 1991, Sullivan was appointed by President George H. W. Bush to serve as an Associate Judge of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

On Judge Emmet Sullivan, here's an NYTimes story from 2011 of him deciding for the Fed's in the Lawsuit where Alaska sued the Fed's to not get the Polar Bear listed as "Threatened." Judge Upholds 'Threatened' Listing for Polar Bear

WE now know that the evidence presented to encourage Sullivan to rule that the Polar Bear deserved "Threatened" status was bogus:

---(2013) Scientist settles in iconic 'drowning polar bears' row with US agency:
Charles Monnett retires after reprimanded by Bureau of Ocean Energy Management over Arctic study and email release

and

---(2014) WattsUP: Polar bear group admits population estimates were a “guess”

I would need Danube and Clarice to explain the ins and outs of Sullivan's rulings, but my problem with the guy, which may be unfounded, is that twice he has allowed the Fed's to present bogus information to him which resulted in rulings coming down from him that were beneficial to the Feds (Dems), but were dishonest and based on falsehoods.

That's my worry about him. He has a track record of having been effectively lied to by the Feds. Twice.

Matt,

Andy Capp as a pigeon fancier reminds me of something else I really loved learning today. One room of Darwin's home was "The Billiard Room", where he and his wonderful butler, Parslow, would hang out shooting pool together.

(Hit should enjoy that!)

The tour stated that when Darwin was all hot to trot trying to figure out the secrets of how the Andy Capp's of his day could breed so many fascinating pigeon varieties, that he ran out of suitable room for storing their carcasses, so he wound up laying all the extra pigeon skeletons on the pool table in the billiard room because Emma obviously didn't want the stinky things smelling up the rest of the house. The quote at the tour was better but it was essentially this comment from 1873 a bit more elongated:

The house where he roped all his children and his long suffering butler Joseph Parslow into frequently noxious experiments – he recorded in 1873 that they'd been boiling down pigeon carcasses for their skeletons, "the smell was so dreadful that it made me retch awfully" ...
