Perle Speaks at Possible Terrorist Fundraiser?

Don't ask me, ask the Nation.

"Imagine if two whole days beforehand, one Republican Congressman had demanded that Attorney General John Ashcroft investigate the charity, and another who'd been invited to speak announced he wouldn't.

Imagine if, after all that, Senator Clinton (or Ted Kennedy, or Howard Dean, or Al Franken, or any other boogeyman of the right) nevertheless showed up to give a rousing speech -- for a rousing fee. And imagine if, when confronted afterwards, she insisted she was simply helping the Red Cross; and then, when informed that the Red Cross days ago had publicly renounced the event, mumbled, "I was unaware of that."

How long would it be before it was monster news? Before TV anchors were asking Senator Clinton if she didn't want to distance herself from the Saddam Hussein-backed terrorists she was associating so chummily with? Before thousands of e-mail jokes -- all playing one way or another off the lameness of "I was unaware of that" -- were clogging up cyberspace?

Meanwhile, back in the real world, this bumbling character was not Hilary Clinton but Richard Perle -- adviser to the Pentagon, key cheerleader for regime change. Perle spoke last weekend at an event for Iranian earthquake victims -- despite a compelling report in The Hill that the event was favoring not the Red Cross, but the Mujahedin-e Khalq, a group the State Department considers a terrorist organization; and despite public complaints by two Republican Congressmen.

1. AARGH!

These bastards don't have an ounce of reason! Halliburton does business with terrorists states, Perle speaks at terrorist organizations. It is all about the money. Screw everything else, I'm gettin' rich.

They are a bunch of greedy bastards. I wish they would all go to jail.
