Kaus Asks if Clintons Bugged Lady Di for Politics

Mickey Kaus has the real deal on why the US was collecting intercepts on Princess Di. And as the argot of the time would have it, it's "absolutely fabulous."

Mickey surmises that Di's boy-toy billionaire Teddy Forstmann was gearing up to run as the Republican candidate against Hillary in 2000, before Billy Jeff got his knickers in more than a twist with Monica L and scotched Hillary's chances, if she ever had any.

Can you imagine? Clinton and femme using NSA intercepts to spy politically?

Obviously, ABC and CBS are trying to throw dust in the air, as they acutely divine that it had to do with Diana's campaign about land-mines. Oh yeah, land mines! That's the ticket!! We're still waiting for Matt Lauer to weigh in over at NBC!!

And let's bug her about school vouchers, another grave threat to America's national security!

Can you imagine the supersleuth cavalcade of questions had the Bush Administration been implicated in wiretapping and intercepts, with David Gregory in the vanguard after getting his marching orders from Jamie Gorelick, who got his wife a gazillion-dollar-a-year job at Fanny Mae?

Di was a definite terrorist threat---to the Clinton's plans for a dynasty, that is!
