Clinton and his "Bachelor Buddy"

If you want to know just how weird the LA scene is and how pliable California politicians can be, link up to Mickey Kaus, to whom I owe a hat tip for this story in the New York Times which describes high-roller Ron Burkle, late of Page Six fame on the NY Post's Most Active List, as Bill Clinton's 'bachelor buddy' in LA. If you have been following the story in Mickey's blog, that's not the only place that Burkle and buddy Bill have been "baching it."

Recently Burkle said that Bill had spent "500 hours in the air" with Bill all around the world in RB's private jets. That's a lot of airtime even by the bovine fecal math RB is probably employing.

What is more interesting are the tips that the California State Legislature is allowing RB to help make their governance more opaque and less sunshiny than the happy lefties want to admit, all to protect the seamy details of his busted marriage litigation---probably the reason he also wanted immunity from Rupert Murdoch's sleuths on Page Six.

Then there's the little matter of the amounts of money CALIFORS pension plans have invested in RB's little investment vehicles, a cool $500 million, according to one source, which I saw in Mickey's blog.

Yes, the naughty Republican House is rife with corruption, but Bill and his bachelor buddy might be up to their eyebrows in questionable---corrupt by other standards---dealings on the state level, where the NYT, WaPo, WSJ and most certainly not the complete MSM pablum factory, the Los Angeles Times. To investigate Burkle and the State Legislature would be way outside their ethical, moral, and journalistic codes, which are NO FAULT ON THE LEFT! [From my SDS days, before I got a job and grew up.]

And what if Bill Clinton were somehow implicated?!? That would be NEWS, something the LAT doesn't deal in, unless under strict agitprop control.
