Caspar Weinberger: Shoulda Done Time for Iran-Contra
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 04:25 PM by Labor_Ready
no slouch in the fundie department himself, Weinberger once addressed students at Harvard thusly: 'I have read the Book of Revelation, and, yes, I believe the world is going to end - by an act of God, I hope - and every day I think that time is running out.' This from the guy with a finger on the nuclear trigger.

Recall too that he was rescued from a pound-you-in-the-ass federal prison only by a Christmas-eve presidential pardon (Bush I - natch).

1. And what was he indicted for...?

And by 1998 Republicans finally decided that was bad thing.

2. Did you mean to put this in GD with the thread about James Watt?

You can alert on it and ask the moderator to move the thread.

On edit: I'd like to see the threads kept all together. :)

3. But he was PARDONED by 41
Piece of shit. People got pissed at Clinton for pardoning Rich but the 41 pardon of Casper was by far worse.
