The Clinton Chronicles

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta...

The Clinton Chronicles was an interesting documentary to watch, and a perfect sequel to one of the films on Iran/Contra.  This film brings many Bill Clinton's (former) associates together to paint a picture of what this man's role in the aforementioned scandal likely was- a powerful, well-connected, and corrupt political leader who would facilitate the drug running and money laundering aspect of this "secret government" plot.

Many people connected to Clinton- former bodyguards, girlfriends, and even those involved in Iran/Contra- bravely came forward to share what they knew of this plot.  Many died in bizarre ways- those more fortunate saw their careers ruined, and their lawsuits sabotaged.  For an example, see this statement (a must read to understand legal sabotage) released in 1996 by Terry Reed, a pilot who worked for the CIA during Iran/Contra.

Or, you could just check out these lyrics from the Ghetto Boys on an album released election day 1992:

And now, a word from the president! 

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta 

Gettin voted into the white house 

Everything lookin good to the people of the world 

But the mafia family is my boss 

So every now and then I owe a favor gettin' down 

Like lettin' a big drug shipment through 

And send 'em to the poor community 

So we can bust you know who 

So voters of the world keep supportin' me 

And I promise to take you very far 

Other leaders better not upset me 

Or I'll send a million troops to die at war 

To all you republicans, that helped me win 

I sincerely like to thank you 

'cause now I got the world swingin' from my nuts 

And damn it feels good to be a gangsta
