24421 [lbo-talk] Scientology -- rank: 1000
New York Post [Page Six] - September 4, 2003 SCIENTOLOGY: NO RIGHTS, PLEASE TOM Cruise, John Travolta, Lisa Marie Presley, Kirstie Alley, Juliette Lewis and other Scientologists may have signed away many of the rights that most Americans take for granted. As they move up into the higher levels of the Church of Scientology, members sign documents giving up their right to psychiatric care and to see their families.

C. G. Estabrook wrote: >Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, both of >which he was guilty of. It didn't matter. He lied about a blowjob, which was no one's business (outside of gossip mongers) anyway. The impeachment crowd hated Clinton for all the wrong reasons - they thought he was a sex-crazed Bolshevik. They were half right, but that was his good side. Doug

C. G. Estabrook wrote: >I think Hitchens' position on the Bush wars is contemptible, but he was >right about the impeachment. Clinton was guilty as charged and should >have been removed. That's nuts. Clinton lied about a blowjob. Who cares? I'm sure every president would be theoretically impeachable, but why single him out? Bush's crimes are far worse than lying about a blowjob. And if he'd been impeached, it would have been a great victory for the Christian right, which deserves nothi ...

It was hardly a hauling-over. I was there. A lot of the staff was upset that one of their colleagues had been in touch with the House Republican impeachment staff - whatever the sins of the Clintons, the House Republicans are ghoulish monsters - and had been running around praising Ke ...

[meanwhile in the really important news] New York Post [Page Six] - September 3, 2003 PARIS IS BURNING - FOR INGRID PARIS Hilton is adding some sapphic sizzle to her love life. The hot-to-trot hotel heiress has apparently flipped for former Madonna galpal Ingrid Casares. Hilton and Casares scandalized South Beach last weekend by smooching, holding hands and dirty-dancing in nightclubs all over town. The uncanny coupling erupted Friday night on the dance floor at Prive, the site of an Ocean Drive ...
