After reading the excellent and well-documented, new book by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons, The Hunting of the President, Psychic Vera marveled at the wicked intent of Bill Clinton's enemies.

"Like Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell" she said, "individuals that took part in the nefarious conspiracy to bring down the president of the United States and the first lady, were all in denial regarding their complicity with the Evil One."

Even though Americans are damn sick of this subject, Vera went on to say, it was important that Conason and Lyon wrote their book, which included the personal backgrounds of many of the conspirators.

So grave was their treachery, the well-known psychic decided to publish the following Republican Rogue's Gallery. Much of the information comes from the Conason and Lyon's book.

Linda Tripp: Betrayer of confidences and friendships, help cost the taxpayers over fifty million dollars through her rapacious desire to ruin Bill and Hillary Clinton. Still refuses to confess her sins because she thinks that she was doing all of us a big favor. Always a vindictive woman, she never got over what she considers a betrayal by her father for leaving the family for another woman. In order to get even, and while still in high school, she vandelized his Mercedes Benz. Psychologically, she identified her father with the womanizing antics of the president and projected much of her hatred for her father onto Bill Clinton.

Lucianne Goldberg: Salacious gossip mongerer and dirty tricks provocateur for the Nixon campaign, she was Linda Tripp's friend and literary agent. She suggested that Linda tape Monica Lewinsky's conversations about the president of the United States, even though taping is illigal in Linda's home state of Maryland. An aide for Lady Bird Johnson recalled that Lucianne, while working in the Kennedy White House, was a "flashy blonde who wore short skirts, tight tops, and made goo-goo eyes at all the guys." A former friend told Newsday in 1998 that Ms. Goldberg claimed that her social life only took place during the work week because she just dated married men and they were home with their wives on weekends. Lucianne also wrote cheesy soft porno novels. Her most successful novel, Madam Cleo, was about international prostitution. She was sued by one of her clients, celebrity biographer, Kitty Kelley, for selling foreign rights to a Liz Taylor biography without paying royalties or even notifying the author of the sale.

Kathleen Willey: Not a Republican, but still she tried to make money from her claim that President Clinton sexually harrassed her when she visited him in the oval office. Although Willey, during a sleezy 60 Minutes interview,said that she was shocked and repulsed when he grabbed her breast and put her hand on his crotch, former friend, LindaTripp, claimed that Kathleen had been trying to seduce the president for months. Willey had come to the oval office looking for a job, desperate for money after her husband, Ed, had informed her that he embezzled $250,000 from brother and sister clients. While the president was allegedly gropping Kathleen, Ed Willey committed suicide leaving his wife 1,000,000 dollars in debt and pending litigation from the defrauded brother and sister.

Matt Drudge: Creator of the Drudge Report, a website dedicated to scurrilous gossip. Republican and right wing afficianados used felonious information posted on his website to help initiate investigations into Bill Clinton for his alleged crimes against the American people. Never known to resist printing any sort of innuendo, even though untrue, Drudge was hit by a law suit initiated by White House journalist Sidney Blumenthal for defamation of character. Drudge, in his Report, claimed that Blumenthal was guilty of spousal abuse, which was,apparently, completely untrue.

Richard Mellon Scaife: the money bags behind the Arkansas Project, an investigative group looking for dirt on Bill Clinton. He helped fund the Emmett Tyrell's American Spectator magazine. He developed an intense hatred for the president because he thought Clinton was the embodiment of the 60's counterculture revolution. Since the 1960's, Scaife has spent millions on right wing causes. Owns the Tribune-Review, a conservative screed, published in Pittsburgh. He donated money to Pepperdine University, the school that offered Kenneth Starr a teaching position. He helped fund Accuracy in Media, a right wing media watchdog group. He is the former owner of the defunct newspaper, the Sacramento Union. According to Salon Magazine, Scaife told a reporter that the late FBI director, J. Edgar (dresses in women's clothes) Hoover was one of his heroes. Back in the 1970's, Scaife was most concerned about the Soviet menace and would later become the Heritage Foundation's biggest contributor. Salon reports in a separate article that Scaife's associates hired a private eye to examine the personal life of a CNN reporter, John Camp, because Camp reported that cocaine allegations against Bill Clinton were without merit. Further revelations about Scaife and his family background include that he is a former heavy drinker. His estranged sister, Cordelia Scaife May is quoted in Salon as describing their mother as "a cold sarcastic woman." She also said the following about their early childhood: I don't remember any laughter in the house.

Emmett Tyrell: President and Editor-in-Chief of the American Spectator magazine, another right wing-rag.Originally called the Alternative, Tyrell started publishing it in 1967 with co-founder Ronald Burr. The circulation of the magazine increased from 30,000 before 1992 to 210,000 in 1996, primarily due to anti-Clinton propaganda. The magazine was also nvolved with the Arkansas Project. The Spectator Foundation, a tax-exempt corporation, may have committed tax fraud with its excessive salary paid to Tyrell. The foundation has also footed the bill for Tyrell's fancy apartment in New York, his membership in the New York Athletic Club as well as expensive trips to London and other perks.

Kenneth Starr: This ubiquitous Independent Prosecutor was everywhere he shouldn't be. When he found nothing to prosecute either of the Clintons about, and when investigations into Whitewater, Vince Foster's death, Travelgate, Filegate and Adnauseum Gate led nowhere, he wanted to quit his job and go to work at Pepperdine University. But his rightwing compatriots let up a howl, and he was forced to continue tilting at windmills that cost the taxpayers millions. This led him to Monica Lewinsky and the president's cigar, sexual antics that should have remained secret and were hardly a crime. The prurient Starr had to salvage his reputation and keep his friends satisfied, so he thought he was forced to reveal the details of the president's sex life. It was often said about him that he seemed overly interested in these matters because his own sex life was so unremarkable and negligible. After all he is a Fundamentalist Christian and he didn't date until he was out of college. Fundamentalist men often have lewd thoughts and secret sexual proclivities because they are repressed and have never dealt with their sexuality in a healthy way. This severe sexual repression may be one of the reasons that right wing Christian men like Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson have been so obsessed with Bill Clinton. He's getting it. They aren't. They're mad.
