The astounding, unreal world of Gary Condit

Accepting California Democratic Congressman Gary Condits view of the world requires an escape from reality that is astounding even in Washington. From Condits point of view, everyone except him is a liar, the press is out to get him and he is a victim of unfair public scrutiny.

Why not? The same strategy worked for Bill Clinton. The main difference, however, is that Bill Clinton is a far better liar than Gary Condit. The only way to believe the garbage spewing out of Condits mouth is to accept, without reservation, that missing Washington intern Chandra Levys mother was mistaken, her aunt was wrong, former lover Anne Marie Smith is lying and his staff took it upon themselves to lie because they didnt want to believe he was banging the 24-year-old Levy.

Sorry, Gary, that dog not only wont hunt, it doesnt even have to wake up and sniff the air. The stink from your lies is too strong. Condit would have us believe sexual affairs are not relationships, and lying to ones wife, constituents, cops and the media is nobodys business, even when the liar is a public official involved in the mysterious disappearance of a young woman who shared his bed when his wife wasnt around.

Former Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman may have said it best. Condit acts like a man who knows the body will never be found. Fuhrman is the man responsible for making sure one of the Kennedy clan goes to jail for offing a young girl during his teenage years. He also watched helplessly as prosecutorial misconduct let a murderer named O.J. Simpson beat the rap. Condit, like Simpson, may benefit from the stupidity of others. The Washington, DC, police department, the most inept crime fighting comedy team in the known universe, is in charge of the Levy investigation. Given their track record, Condit could have murdered Chandra Levy on Pennsylvania Avenue during rush hour and gotten away with it.

Which begs the real question of this sorry spectacle. Is Gary Condit a murderer? What role, if any, did he have in the disappearance of Chandra Levy, who vanished without a trace on or about May 1 of this year? Washingtons keystone cops say Condit is not a suspect. That, technically, is true because without a body or evidence of foul play, they dont have a crime and you cant have a suspect when you dont have a crime.

But the FBI doesnt assign one of its best profilers to a missing persons case and a team is working around the clock down in Quantico trying to put a case together that may do more than just cost Gary Condit his seat in Congress.

Condits weaseling performances over the past few days has shocked even those who might have otherwise supported him. House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt  defender of Bill Clintons own intern banging, lies and obstruction of justice  is backing away from Condit and may move to have the California Democrat tossed off the highly-sensitive Intelligence Committee.

Even Harlem Democrat Charles Rangel, who would defend a serial killer as long as he was a Democrat, could only muster a half-hearted defense of Condit this past weekend, comparing his trials to those of Adam Clayton Powell, another well known Congressional crook. He says hes not guilty, one top Democratic operative told me this week, but he acts like a man who is guilty of something.

No doubt. As hard as it may be for some believe, Gary Condit could well be up to his lying ass in complicity in Chandra Levys disappearance. Personally, I think he did it. If he didnt do it, he paid someone to do it for him or he knows who did it and is covering for him or her. Thats right, Congressman Condit. If you ain't a guilty man, why the hell do you act like one?

That says it all: Condit acts like a man who knows the body will never be found. Automaton son Chad Condit could only refer to "Gary Condit", not "Dad" in his ridiculous defense on Monkey Man King's comedy store. One gets distinct impression that the collective silence in Congress runs across party lines because too many knew what was going on, some participated in what was going on, and some know how the body was disposed. By the way, Chandra Levy worked in California Democrat Governor Gray Davis's office for several months in 2000. And when questioned, nobody in Davis's office seemed to remember who she was. Thanks again to Doug Thompson's Rant. Doug you need a bigger forum for your honest no-nonsense columns.

If enough letters are written, our congressmen can be persuaded to throw Condit out. It can be done.

If enough letters are written, our congressmen can be persuaded to throw Condit out. It can be done. Then theyll just hire him back at twice his salary to give them seminars on problem fixing. (And the Kennedy clan will put him on retainer.)

Good article and Doug pretty well sums up the case.

What really offends me is the democrat insistence that even if a congress critter is heavily involved with sexual liasons and constantly boffing interns and any other skirt under which he can slide, he's okay because he's getting his job done. I have studied abnormal psychology well enough to know that an obsession rules a person's mind, and thus steals from their daily life. Clinton had one actual cabinet meeting during his scandal period and not many prior to that when his obsessive behavior was ruling his deviant mind. He's still the same sinkEmperor today, and I don't give a damn what he does now, but what he did while on my damn nickel made him impeachable, because contrary to the lying fornication fraternity in Washington, the bastard wasn't doing the people's business, and all one has to do is look at the things around the world that have deteriorated so badly and here at home also to verify the democrat's sleazy lying for their champion of deviancy. Now Condidit gets caught and the same villanous crew of Gephardt et al try to spin the same fecal bilge across the land. Enough! Time for these sleazy, lie-worshipping spinners to GO! A person with a sexual obsession cannot do a full job for which they are hired. Period!

Is Gary Condit a murderer? I don't know if he's a murderer or not, but I've had a sick fascination for reading about serial killers and in a lot of stories the friends and acquaintances describe these serial killers as having two personalities. When they're happy, everybody's happy, when they get angry it is almost an over-the-top rage that comes very close to going too far. I believe Anne Marie Smith mentioned some flashes of anger she saw in Mr. Condit. I often wonder if he has this type of rage below the surface and he went too far after getting angry at Chandra for any number of things: pressure for marriage, possible pregnancy, telling her mother/aunt about the relationship, etc.
