Bill Bennett on CNN was just saying that |
|
he's been to several big fights in Vegas and McCain's been there as well: that the Senator is a big fight fan.
Well, Bill...were you in Vegas to tour Hoover Dam? After all, he was the last Rethug President to preside over the beginning of a Depression. Could it be you paid a visit to the Slot Poker?
Tell ya one thing: Bennett's getting fatter and fatter - definitely got an impulse-control disorder. Which one is it this year? Food, Fraud, Slots? You make the call...I'll lay 3 to 2 odds.

1. Did he brag about how he saved all the black people from themselves again? |
|
In fact, Bennett seemed to affirm his statement that more blacks mean more crime."When I was drug czar, you bet we were working on the issue of black crime, Alan and Sean. Because there was a lot of crime in the black community."
Later, he pointed to his wife's record as an anti-abortionist as proof of his own racial sensitivity. "When it comes to abortion, my wife's program, Best Friends, has kept more young women from having abortions... than the entire Black Caucus. She has done more for inner city black girls than the entire Black Caucus. So I will not bow my head to any of these people. I will not give up the ground of compassion and sympathy." link: http://www.newshounds.us/2005/09/30/bill_bennett_doesnt_get_it_trying_to_defend_his_racist_comments_on_hannity_colmes_he_misses_at_least_half_the_reason_people_were_offended.php

...and I don't know anyone who does. Of course my friends are mostly democrats. If Bill Clinton has spent all those millions gambling we would still be hearing it today. Bennettis grossly overweight IMO.

10. It's actually a well known fact that McCain is a big fight fan... he is also credited with UFC.... |
|
He was a big part of MMA fighting being shut down for a while to make them fix their rules and training.

A true story about Bill Bennett
By Reed Hundt | bio
From: Politics When I was chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (1993-97), I asked Bill Bennett to visit my office so that I could ask him for help in seeking legislation that would pay for internet access in all classrooms and libraries in the country. Eventually Senators Olympia Snowe and Jay Rockefeller, with the White House leadership of President Clinton and Vice President Gore, put that provision in the Telecommunications Law of 1996, and today nearly 90% of all classrooms and libraries do have such access. The schools covered were public and private. So far the federal funding (actually collected from everyone as part of the phone bill) has been matched more or less equally with school district funding to total about $20 billion over the last seven years. More than 90% of all teachers praise the impact of such technology on their work. At any rate, since Mr. Bennett had been Secretary of Education I asked him to support the bill in the crucial stage when we needed Republican allies. He told me he would not help, because he did not want public schools to obtain new funding, new capability, new tools for success. He wanted them, he said, to fail so that they could be replaced with vouchers,charter schools, religious schools, and other forms of private education. Well, I thought, at least he's candid about his true views. The key Senate committee voted almost on party lines on the bill, all D's for and all R's against, except one -- Olympia Snowe. Her support provided the margin of victory. On the House side, Speaker Gingrich made sure the provision was not in the companion bill, but in conference again Senators Snowe and Rockefeller, with White House support, made the difference. The Internet has been the first technology made available to students in poorly funded schools at about the same time and in about the same way as to students in well funded schools.http://schoolsmatter.blogspot.com/2005/10/bill-bennett-and-school-privatization.html
