Rush isn't the only Limbaugh with his hand on the pulse!!!

What Limbaugh has the inside story to the Clinton administration? What Limbaugh has an insight into what Janet Reno knew? What Limbaugh has taken an objective view of the past 8 years? I know you're thinking Rush, but you may be surprised to find out it's his brother David and this book may also be a surprise. When I first started reading this book I thought another book that tells about the scandals and the spin machine from the beltway, and the book does that, but it also brings to light some very interesting information that may have and has been kept from the public until now. Limbaugh shows how the Administration put itself above the law of the land, what the justice department knew and kept secret, what Janet Reno knew or didn't know as the White House turned information over to her. You'll read about how Elian Gonzales was a political pawn in a masterful chess game run by Bill Clinton, how the Clinton administration ignored Senate confirmations and tried to shut up and down big tobacco. You'll read and understand how people's lives were ruined if they disagreed with the Clinton Administration, the cover-ups and other scandals like Monica, Vince Foster and White Water. Overall this is not a Clinton bashing book but rather a book about what bashing the Clinton's did during the 8 years in power. This Limbaugh may have finally hit the nail on the head.

A scathing indictment of the Clinton-Reno Justice Department

After reading "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton," by British newsman Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, and "Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Whitehouse," by Gary Aldrich--both of which I have reviewed here--I thought nothing further need be said to demonstrate the depths of depravity to which Bill Clinton's administration could sink. I was wrong!This book, "Absolute Power," by David Limbaugh carries the saga of corruption, degeneracy and wantonness even further.Beginning with the debacle of rogue federal agencies' slaughter of nearly 100 men, women and children at Waco, Texas, in February of 1993 under the direction of the federal Department of Justice, the book next details the federal attack on the tobacco industry, supposedly to retrieve taxpayer's money, spent on tobacco's victims by Medicare, Medicaid and the armed forces--ignoring the fact that smokers as a group, because of their early deaths, SAVE the government huge amounts of money they would have cost Social Security--an amount estimated at $29 billion a year by the Congressional Research Service. The Clinton Administration also ignored the fact that those very socialist programs--Medicare and Medicaid, costly as they are, were put in place by a previous Democrat administration: that of Lyndon Johnson, and that it is not a constitutional function of the United States government to provide for, or insure, American citizens' health needs, and that those very programs have increased the costs of medical care to the public in this country exponentially. Also ignored is the fact that government, through its taxation, derives more profit from the sale of cigarettes than do the tobacco companies themselves.I'm not personally a smoker, but I am a shooter, and it was under the Clinton-Gore Administration that the same deplorable attacks by the government were begun on another completely legal industry--which makes a product protected, in fact, in the Constitution itself--the firearms manufacturers. So far, thankfully, those attacks are being rebuffed by the courts, but not without cost to the industry.Then Limbaugh details the sorry spectacle of the White House Travel Office firings, in Bill and Hillary Clinton's effort to replace it with some of their Arkansas and Hollywood cronies. A debacle that encouraged William Safire to refer to Hillary Clinton as a "congenital liar."In a chapter titled, "The Mother of All Scandals," the infamous campaign finance scandal is dealt with, with its sorry tale of illegal foreign campaign contributions, money laundering, and lax security of military secrets."With Janet Reno providing legal cover, the Clinton-Gore administration was able to do all this, and more, with impunity," says Limbaugh. This is a comprehensive, case-by-case critique of the Clinton Justice Department, and by extension the Clinton Administration, beginning with the firing of all 93 United States attorneys, simultaneously, when Reno took office--thereby signaling the total politicization o

Absolutely Required Reading

This should be required reading for anyone who is concerned with corruption in government. This is not a book just for conservatives. Liberals and moderates should take no offense at this scathing review of the Clinton/Reno Justice Department. Anyone interested in good government needs to take time to review the facts that are known and decide for themselves if they are content with what has happened over the last eight years.Mr. Limbaugh has established himself as tireless researcher, a clear and critical thinker and someone who expects honesty and integrity in his government. This is not nor should not be a conservative or liberal position. I highly recommend this book. It will make you think and will, in all likelihood, raise your expectations of those who make and enforce our laws.

Reno's JUST-US Department

I received and read David Limbaugh's book today. Those familiar with his column will appreciate David's ability to synthesize and analyze events that have faded from our memory as time passes. Absolute Power is a disturbing tour of the trashing of the dignity of the White House and the complicity of the DOJ. The departing theft of White House property and bartering of pardons should surprise no one after reading David's book. Absolute Power is also a personal motivation to get on my knees and thank God for George W. Bush and John Ashcroft. Character at the top, after all, does matter greatly. Democrats reading this book, especially those in leadership, would do well to drop their defenses and soberly examine their own complicity of silence (or worse).
