[leftchick]

Just heard on Hardball's David Shuster report. This is just a coincidence right?

...:wow:

[jasmeel]

1. What are they teaching those kids?

[cally]

2. Did he know her parents or close friends?

Amazing.

[leftchick]

3. isn't that something?

:tinfoilhat:

[leftstreet]

4. What was the context?

Why was he reporting it?

Interesting.

[RobertSeattle]

5. They both SUCK

[madeline_con]

6. How could it be anything but a coincidence? n/t

[seemslikeadream]

7. Ah now you're just making that up!

:hi:

[leftchick]

22. Like I could EVEN make this shit up!

I Love your pengie! :hi:

[malaise]

8. no surprise

what pisses me off is that Bill Clinton thinks he should hang out with Bush Snr. One day he'll realize how well he was set up. How that inner circle must laugh at him.

[11cents]

9. So 15 or 20 years after Abramoff went to this high school ...

...he returned to prep Monica Lewinsky on how to seduce Bill Clinton, a man otherwise impervious to feminine wiles?

[Radio_Lady]

12. My 2 cents to add to 11 cents --

Let's add this one to other conspiracy theories. Has just as much basis in fact IMHO.

[malaise]

14. Don't know

but I don't put anything past those people. Most men are far from impervious to feminine wiles.

[Festivito]

10. Might Alito know a couselor who'd pick a good intern candidate?

Not too far a streach for anyone in the gang of CONism.

[leveymg]

11. I wonder where?

[leftchick]

13. I didn't listen closely enough to hear

I just caught the Monica connection and then how Abramoff was kicked off the student council for unwise spending? I need to catch the rerun at 7:00pm.

15. NY Post says...

http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix/59941.htm

January 6, 2006 -- THAT scandalized lobbyist Jack Abramoff and scandalized White House intern Monica Lewinsky both went to the Hawthorne School in L.A. and Beverly Hills High School . . .

[leftchick]

16. o m g...

I wonder if he knew her parents. unbelievable!

[Ksec]

17. The odds would be high against that

IE how many national figures like this graduated from your school? None for me.

[raysr]

18. Monica was planted

by the pukes to to do what shes does.

19. And Wonkette had a blurb on it

"The adolescent careers of those involved in Abramoffukkah continue to be a source of fascination, and, today, we turn our attention to its nakesake himself. Jack Abramoff was evincing the skills and creative flair for all things fast and loose at quite a young age. At Beverly Hills High, he was renowned for his "power squat" -- surely the best euphenism for lobbying we've ever heard that doesn't involve an oral-anal connection -- and for his uniquely ironic fundraising efforts: for instance, a quarter-pounder eating contest with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

Even going back to his junior high days at the Hawthorne School, you see evidence of the quintessential Abramoff mien being forged:

He ran for student council president at the Hawthorne School, a Beverly Hills elementary and middle school, in 1972. Heading into a runoff election, Abramoff was disqualified for exceeding the spending limit. The principal, Herbert recalled, penalized Abramoff for holding a party, stating it amounted to a campaign expenditure that pushed him over the limit.
Unbelievable. And this morning, the indispensable Henry Seltzer reminds us that Monica Lewinsky, that prime mover of the scandals of yesteryear, also matriculated at Hawthorne and Beverly Hills High. It's like a Holy Tango of Taint, y'all, but it reminds us of a constant complaint we have with the Harry Potter universe: why don't they just tear Slytherin down?— DCEIVER"
