Le Show; 2005-02-27

From deep inside your radio, first on this broadcast, an item from a donated, well, contributed by a listener to the buried lead department. This was a story in the Washington Post basically about the appeal of a rating of a motion picture, the motion picture documentary about American soldiers in Iraq. That's the ostensible story in this story. However, you have to put your minors helmet on to find this little nugget quoting now. Maybe Robbins, the head of theatrical marketing for palm pictures, just have to interrupt that for a moment. As in, cross my palm pictures, no, please, ladies and gentlemen, it's the movie business. Getting back to the quote, Andy Robbins, the head of theatrical marketing for palm pictures,

the film's distributor said he argued to the ratings board, apparently, that the US military has, quote, unrestricted access to America's teenagers for recruitment purposes. Continuing with the article, said that a part of the Bush administration's no child left behind act makes federal funding for schools contingent upon military recruiters having access to students, addresses, and phone numbers. Rip out the front page, would you, please? Wow, who knew that? Repeating, this is an allegation by Andy Robbins, head of theatrical marketing for palm pictures. No reason why he should be an expert on the no child left behind act, but this goes unrebutted in the article. A part of the no child left behind act makes federal funding for schools contingent upon military recruiters having access not to the campuses. That's an argument that's 30 years old. Having access to students, addresses, and phone numbers, I'm in receipt of information that the educational testing service may be selling student data as well without informing

students or their parents, hey, it's mining, it's data mining. Ladies and gentlemen, I repeat, copyright your life. Privacy law means nothing, but you know, the good people at Disney have insured that copyright law is pretty robust. Copyright your life. Then if you find people selling your data, a little settlement. That is an order. Now, you know, there's no end of the people on the left who find comfort in the thought that George W. Bush is not the brightest cookie in the 10. But here's what I saw this week when George W. Bush met with a man he used to call Putin, Vladimir Putin. Now he calls him Vladimir. Vladimir Putin, at their little summit, was in Bratislava, somewhere over there, somewhere Sylvania Slovakia, they're all, they're all slows.

And the question came up, as you knew it would, trying to align the two realities, one is in Bush's stirring proclamation that the United States was in the business of advancing democracies all over the world with the recent experience of Russia, needless to say, not in that business. And Putin bristled as a Putin-pood will and said, well, you know, through his translator, of course. The United States has this thing called the Electoral College. And nobody says that's not democratic, okay, and Bush didn't correct him because of the presumed slam that, you know, the Supreme Court voted him in rather than the people. But nobody else reacted either.

Now ladies and gentlemen, do a little reading up if you care to or just take it for me. One of the abiding mantras of the conservative movement during the middle 20th century was America is a republic, not a democracy. Now that was based on, first of all, fact, it was formed as a representative republic. We didn't vote for our senators, we didn't vote for our president. The whole idea was avoiding mob rule. But the other advantage to conservatives and saying that was, hey, the party they like is the Republican party and the party they don't like is the Democratic party. So yeah. Now George W. Bush stands there. Well Vladimir Putin says, well, you've got an Electoral College and nobody says that's not democratic. And it doesn't occur to Bush to say, well, it occurred, you know, Jefferson and Madison and Hamilton, but it doesn't occur to any of the commentators, the smarties, the self-described

smarties who commented on the summit to point it out either. So you know, ladies and gentlemen, when it all comes down to what we all done, hello, welcome to the show. Follow me to the guy who pushed that button. Oh, I know. So go ahead, steal your brown bag and put on all your clean right. Let's go down and see what's going on.

Now I know that he ain't looking, not when the man is cooking, because he's watching the ladies dancing all the floor, going on in Hollywood, better hope that you don't run out again. Now I'm going to stay healthy, just keep on moving right on through. Be careful, don't go back, keep moving, keep moving. Well, let's not just start it flowing, and some girls genius showing everything she got. Some men would give a weak pay, and if she would just stand down there waiting to say, baby, I'm going to take you home with me tonight.

Now I'm down outside the streets shaking and I hear windows breaking, some proofs going on a band in J until April. Get in, get in, Hollywood! No, no, no, no, just wait for someone like you! Get in, Hollywood! And you want to stay healthy, just keep moving right on. Hi! You know, you're gonna get arrested the way those pants knit around your thighs. Oh, come back honey, don't leave now! Ava, come here, let me talk to you for a second. Cops, c'mon.

Okay, man. Can't sleep here, Victor. Oh, Jesus, guys, I'm mess. Well, he's just a trucker. Come on, pick him up. I can't take him down. Well, his mama told him not to go. And his sister told him to. But the poor boy just didn't listen. But I'm liking you. That's too big. The hitchhiked all the way from Burbank. Now he's gonna end up in the truck tank. Some more men say. Yeah, well, it's as we go down Hollywood. Down in Hollywood. Hope that you don't run out again. Down in Hollywood. If I get caught, I literally kick your ass. And Hollywood! And I don't just wait for someone like you. Down in Hollywood. I just want to stay healthy just to keep on moving. Right on the road through. For sure. And I'm jealous of you. Oh, that's the easy thing. I don't load out Hollywood.

Being a world of trouble now. Oh, it happens. And I get it with him. Yeah. I've got a friend and he can't see. I'm living the high life of my just being. The perfect disguise for someone. Who's in pain? And he works at my bar. And he tells me that he tries really hard. And he might just be a beautiful star. Because that's all he really needs to make him and inside. And Kelly, you're running out of time.

Kelly, you're going down in the sky. And swallow your pride and get on a train out of Hollywood. Look at me. I've been such a fool. Thinking thing would do what only time can do. Oh, I think I would be alright. If I could have a perfect life just like you. Kelly, Kelly. Funny how those who would chase a fame.

And tend to lose in the greatest pain. Searching for highs that would reach into their veins. And Kelly, back up your bells and your missing days. And you're going to sing for our sake. Give it morning to a beast who has no name. And Kelly, you're running out of time. Kelly, you're going down in the sky. And swallow your pride and get on a train out of Hollywood. Kelly, you're running out of time.

Kelly, you're going down in the sky. And swallow your pride and get on a train out of Hollywood. Get on a train out of Hollywood. Get on a train out of Hollywood. Kelly, you're running out of time. Kelly, you're running out of time.

From the aforementioned edge of America. From the home of the homeless more specifically. I'm Harry Scherer and this is Lesho. And ladies and gentlemen, just like the music started to say, it's time for the apologies of the week. Oh, good apologies this week. If I do say so myself, good crop. From Jeff Ganon.com. Yes. Don't interrupt the trust me. Quote, despite all the pleas from the left to go over to the dark side and expose the, quote, corrupt Bush administration, quote, this simply isn't going to happen. My faith and my ideology are rock solid. Still, the last few weeks have been difficult for my family

and my associates. To them, I offer my apology and gratitude for their support. Unquote, this is Jeff Ganon, aka James Gookert, the former quote, White House correspondent, unquote, is also moonlighting or daylighting, depending on, since this job with talent news was a volunteer work, apparently, moonlighting as a male escort. He continues, in regard to the allegations about my personal life, I've been advised by my attorneys not to comment on any of the details pending the outcome of any possible legal action I might pursue. Therefore, I won't be discussing any of that stuff here. So much for Jeff Ganon.com, ladies and gentlemen, won't be going back there. He's not going to... So he's going to sue, you see, presumably, because they forced him out of a job that he was a volunteer at. So, estimate of damages, Your Honor.

What's the round thing with a hole in it? Dayline Boise, the Ascended Ethics Committee hearing at the State House has concluded they're determining if Senator Jack Noble violated ethics by introducing a bill that would have potentially benefited him. At the end of a two and a half hour hearing Senator Noble acknowledged his mistake. I apologize for grief I've caused others I ask humbly for forgiveness of the Senate, the legislature, my family, so we can now begin the process of healing, he said. The bill would have changed the law requiring liquor stores to be at least 300 feet from school property. That would have made liquor sales legal at his store, you see, let the healing begin. And fuel it with some fine whiskey, won't you? The Rocky Mount Man North Carolina, Rocky Mount North Carolina, man accused of robbing a bank was supposed to be in prison. At the time of the holdup, we let him out by mistake.

Nash County Sheriff Jimmy Grimes said this week it was our fault. The man faces an attempted robbery charge connection with this holdup. I would like to apologize for any misconceptions that would make it appear that the judge or district attorney didn't do their jobs. Sheriff Grimes said I would also like to apologize on behalf of the Sheriff's Office for any inconvenience to the two banks. It is an inconvenience being robbed. Thank you for noticing that. A farm date line Amsterdam, a pharmaceutical company which sent anonymous Valentin cards. I got this job because I know how to read. Valentine's cards to Dutch gynecologists in a publicity stunt has been forced to apologize for sparking family arguments. The doctors and their partners were furious with the company. Whose website says it mixes the ingredients for health and happiness after the firm sent cards saying, how shall we tell everyone? A second card was dispatched to the 100 doctors the next day

explaining that the first had been a gimmick to promote a new product. In some cases the cards caused so much distress at the company organon sent apologetic bouquets of flowers. Yeah, that wouldn't arouse suspicion. Here's a story I've been watching for you ladies and gentlemen watching to DC school and health officials this week apologize to parents whose children attend John Eaton Elementary School for allowing a group to spay and neuter more than 500 cats in the school cafeteria last week cat. That's right. Spay and neuter cats in the school cafeteria. And the parents were upset. I guess on the grounds that that would make the food worse? That's the part I don't understand. This is a great idea, great people, but the wrong venue said Peggy Keller, interim chief of the Bureau of Community Hygiene at the Washington DC Department of Health. I want to deeply apologize for the error in judgment. We're deeply sorry, deeply concerned, and we apologize. It's a lot of depth to that apology. I think we might want to send a, I want to drill down there, see if there's, see if there's oil. Crews spent two days thoroughly cleaning the cafeteria

where the cat surgeries took place last weekend. It's to the point now that there is absolutely no child and jeopardy said the Chief Business Officer for DC Public Schools. Chief Business Officer says it's safe. Why wouldn't you trust him? Cleaning services initially were estimated at $15,000, but your cost may vary. It's just the wrong venue. Having a neutering and spaying clinic in the school cafeteria. Because, you know, that's... We're trying to keep the concept of mystery meets safe. Michael Jackson is apologized. No, not that one. General Sir Michael Jackson, the British Army's Chief of Staff. We've spoken of him before. He said this week, I apologize on behalf of the army to the Iraqis who were abused and the people of Iraq as a whole. This was after three members of the British Armed Forces were convicted of... Oh, let's call it Abu Ghraib type abuse.

There are about 50 more in the pipeline. Britain has so many fewer soldiers than we do over there. They must be evil. They must be pure evil. A senior officer says Jackson has been appointed to analyze what lessons need to be learned from the case and other pending court's martial and civil prosecutions. The general acknowledged that the camp bread basket commander, Major Taylor, had broken the Geneva Convention by ordering that the looters who were arrested be worked hard, but they apparently against the Geneva Convention. In that point, but this was, he said, not a grave breach. Major Taylor has not been dealt with. The Brooklyn New York teacher was sent an American soldier demoralizing letters written by sixth graders apologize this week and admitted blame. A statement issued by the New York Department of Education Social Studies teacher Alex Cunhart said he regretted offending PFC Rob Jacobs. He didn't say whether he either coached the students or read their missives before mailing them.

The missives accused soldiers of committing atrocities in Iraq. The Department of Education which is sending an apology to Jacobs and his family declined comment. It was never my intention to mean or insult anyone said Cunhart who was spotted outside his park slope, Brooklyn Home. This week I never met for the words of my students to hurt any of our troops. The responsibility for this action is mine alone and I apologize. Cunhart made male letters to Jacobs last month written by 21 of his sixth graders for an assignment nearly half of them derided President Bush or the Iraq War and accused soldiers of crimes such as killing civilians and destroying mosques. Those that prey soldiers for their bravery were filled with divisive divisive political rhetoric and ominous predictions. It's democracy, ladies and gentlemen. Democracy, the kind that Vladimir Putin should look into. Theater workers at Lowes, Dan Berry, Connecticut theaters gave movie goers three chapter excerpts from two of

a romantic suspense author's latest titles, Killing Kelly and Dead on the Dancefloor. The books written for adults are part of a nationwide promotion between Mira Books, the Division of Harlequin and Lowes. The books are targeted to women. Her Dan Berry resident, her six-year-old son, was given a copy of the book, so were four of her child, a friend's children between the ages of 5 and 11. The book contains numerous curse words, sexual material, and violence. They were upset. A spokesman for Lowes, John McColley, said the local staff was instructed to only give the books out to women. In this particular case, we apologize if there was someone that received the book. If they weren't supposed to receive the book. Many mover goers were puzzled by the concept. It's a little weird said one. You go to a movie and they give you a book. Paris Hilton had her sidekick email companion-type wireless device hacked and phone numbers of

Paris Hilton. You've heard of her. She's very famous for being famous. People were... Morning Jocks. Morning Jocks started calling the numbers to try to talk to celebrities. That's always a good bit. I don't know why this stuff always happens to me, but I wish it wouldn't anymore. Paris Hilton said, told us weekly. This always happens to her, unlike inappropriate fame. I want to apologize to all my friends and family Hilton told us magazine. Most of all, she feels horrible that once again, someone has invaded my privacy. Yeah, I think ladies and gentlemen, we can all agree. Let's all work together to get a lot more privacy for Paris Hilton. A lot more. I mean, total privacy for Paris Hilton. What do you say? Can we work on that together?

Right after your through copy, right in your life. Let's join up, okay? And finally, West Warwick, Rhode Island town council president Jean-Marie Demassie. And there's a blending of cultures. Issued a statement this week saying she's sorry for failing to pay municipal property taxes on our home and vehicles for several years. President of the town council, ladies and gentlemen, failed to pay property taxes. I would like to apologize to the citizens of West Warwick. And assure them that I believe I should be subjected to a higher standard due to my position on the town council and will try to live by those standards in the future. She said in the statement. She did not answer how she could register her car without her vehicle taxes being current. For years, she didn't answer that question, but she acknowledged for the first time she received tax bills as well as notices from a lawyer trying to collect the debts on behalf of the town. I regret not following through on this very important matter, she said.

Not deep regret, though. Not deep enough, maybe. I don't know. You may be the judge, ladies and gentlemen, apologies of the week. Copyrighted feature of this broadcast. News of the digital wonderland for your listening pleasure. A US appeals court this week said that federal regulators had overstepped their authority by imposing a rule designed to limit the copying of digital television programs. You crossed the line, Judge Harry Edwards told a lawyer for the Federal Communications Commission. Selling televisions is not what the FCC is in the business of, Edwards said. Signing with critics who charged the rule dictates how computers and other devices would work. The FCC mandated the beginning this summer, all devices capable of displaying a television picture like your computer, needed to be compliant with a broadcast flag, which would allow content owners to say, you can't copy this.

The threat, of course, being the content owners would say, if we don't get it, if we don't get that protection, we won't give our high-value material, our Oscar-winning high-value material, to digital television. And yes, would be like the tree falling in the forest when no one notices. All 3,000 of the people who can actually see digital television. Among which is me for other reasons, but I wouldn't bitch. Ladies and gentlemen, the Michael Jackson jury has been selected, as you may know. Are you following that? I'll follow it for you, don't worry about it. And very, very much more rapidly than experts, I guess, jury selection experts, had predicted the jury would be selected. The questioning, of course, involved whether they had followed Michael Jackson's previous allegations previously of his interest in children. And whether they were familiar with any of the celebrities

on the witness list for the trial. One of the jurors had been asked during selection if he recognized celebrity witnesses in the case, including Deepak Chopra, the author and self-help guru, the juror said, I think he's a rapper. First impulse is to say, it's pathetically ill-informed. But you know, maybe he's right. Yo, you're justifying in the trial of Mickey J. I'm Deepak. Mr. Fying will be getting you spiritualized and sending it all to your cellular phone, waiting, not hating, mega-meditating, and with you right now, and I'm all alone. That's a paradox, like timeless clocks, like egg-laying clocks, if you know what I mean.

I do know the mental static and the minds of the dramatic, and you'll always find me, and the hip is seen. So so keen at the scene, is it my mind's just a screen and eye-match projector, caveat-lector, there is no keener specter, than a mountain of green. Cut a lot of hearts from natural serenity. If you insert your favorite obscenity, very pleased to be in sanity's enemy. Deepak of life, Deepak of life. Cut a lot of hearts from natural serenity. If you insert your favorite obscenity, very pleased to be in sanity's enemy. Deepak of life, Deepak of life. I'm down at La Casta. You can come see me, nothing see me, or unseemly, just gentle yoga, and sashimi. God ventennis,

and hints of a gangster past. Now the place is less exciting than a loser and fast. I practice perfect health, and I offer perfect weight. Tell your mind to say it and your body will follow. Visualize yourself as hollow, that will be six bills. But think of all the money I've saved you on bills. Cut a lot of hearts from natural serenity. If you insert your favorite obscenity, very pleased to be in sanity's enemy. Deepak of life, Deepak of life. Cut a lot of hearts from natural serenity. If you insert your favorite obscenity, very pleased to be in sanity's enemy. Deepak of life, Deepak of life. Deepak of life.

Deepak of life. Deepak of life, Deepak of life. Deepak of life. I already know the ending, it's the part that makes your face include I don't know what makes your face include, but that's the way the movie ends And in my experimental film, which nobody knows about the pitch I'm too figuring out the face include, but that's my experimental film Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film

And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is Even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is Even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is Even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is The color of infinity inside and empty glass, it's for the six badman man to film Which nobody knows about it, which I'm too figuring out what's going to do in my experimental film Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film And even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is

You're gonna be in this experimental film and even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is Even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is This is Lucio, and now, ladies and gentlemen, news of Canada That's just a service, not a public service, and it's not a copyrighted feature It's just news of Canada Deadline Ottawa, the office that created the Stanley Cup, believes it should still be awarded in 2005 No matter what the National Hockey League says, National Hockey League, of course, not having a season this year The Stanley Cup is important to Canadians, Governor-General Adrian Clarkson, told a Toronto newspaper this week Governor-General, those of you not up on the Canadian system, is the Queen's representative

That's right, Canadians have a Queen, ladies and gentlemen They bow down to her in private It's so much more than just a sports trophy, it's a symbol of our great love of hockey, said Governor-General Clarkson She sees the Stanley Cup emblematic of hockey supremacy on tour this summer to players' hometowns across Canada The dramatic difference would be in the players carrying the Cup down their various main streets Their names would be the likes of Kim Sampier and Danielle Goyette, Cassie Campbell and Jaina Hefford, Sammy Joe Small and Jennifer Botterill Names that might be etched onto the trophy alongside, or Laflore Howe and Gretzky Why not, says Ms. Clarkson, women's hockey has come along so far in the last few years She sees a showdown for the Cup between the Canadian and US women's national teams as a one-time only opportunity that should not be missed It would delight hockey starved Canadians, she believes

Six million of whom tuned in three years ago to watch the Canadian women defeat the United States for the gold in Salt Lake City Governor-General back in 1892 was Lord Stanley Yes, that's why it's called the Stanley Cup Canadians, she said, would miss it if the Stanley Cup were not given to honor excellence in hockey So, let's give it to the women, she says You see, just because the men aren't playing Canada, also news of Canada, the Canadian government has refused to take part in a planned United States missile defense system despite personal lobbying by President Bush United States diplomatic officials revealed that this week the long-awaited decision from Prime Minister Paul Martin was a symbolic setback for the Bush administration which is trying to heal rifts with allies that emerged after the Iraq deal and here's the United States rift healing reaction Canada has relinquished sovereignty over its airspace according to the United States

That was the announcement from the United States government From now on the United States government will control any decision to fire at incoming missiles over Canadian territory declared the US ambassador to Canada, Paul Salucci We will deploy, we will defend North America, we simply cannot understand why Canada would in effect give up its sovereignty to decide what to do about a missile threat that might be coming towards Canada That's a, that's a, that's a heal rift healer right there Or a heal rifter Canada has given up its sovereignty Now there are those of us, of course Now, we didn't, thought that Canadian sovereignty was sort of halfway between Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny but in any case they've given it up According to us, healing rifts wherever we go Ladies and gentlemen, now news of more interesting countries How about our old friend Pakistan? What are they up to? What have they been up to in the march toward democracy International investigators have uncovered evidence of a secret meeting 18 years ago between Iranian officials

And Iranian officials, ladies and gentlemen, the new enemy And associates of Pakistani scientists, there is that guy again, Abdul Qadir Khan, a Q Khan that resulted in a written offer to supply Tehran with the makings or the makings of a nuclear weapons program This is in, Sunday is Washington Post, the meeting Believed to have taken place in a dusty Dubai office in 1987 Kickstarted Tehran's nuclear efforts and Khan's black market Iran, which was at war with Iraq then, bought centrifuge designs and a starter kit for uranium enrichment Tehran recently told the IAEA that it turned down the chance to buy the more sensitive equipment required for building the core of a bomb But there is evidence Iran used the offers of buyer's guide acquiring some of the pricier items elsewhere And according to Los Angeles dog trainer this week, the United States knew about a Q Khan's operation and waited to shut it down Nuclear warhead plans of Pakistani scientists, consul, delibia were more complete and detailed than previously disclosed

Raising new concerns about the cost of Washington's weight and watch policy before Khan and his global black market was shut down last year Two Western nuclear weapons specialists who've examined the top secret designs say the hundreds of pages of engineering drawings and had written notes provide an excellent starting point for anyone trying to develop An effective atomic warhead, the sale of the plans is particularly troubling to some investigators because the transaction occurred at least 18 months after U.S. and British intelligence agencies concluded Khan was running an international nuclear smuggling ring and identified Libya as a suspected customer But we waited, waited, you know, just for the... It's timing, ladies and gentlemen, it's like comedy Shiite Muslim assassins are killing former members of Saddam Hussein's mostly Sunni Muslim regime with impunity in a way of a violence that combined with the ongoing Sunni insurgency threatens to escalate into civil war The war between Shiite vigilantes and former bath party members has settled them investigated and largely overshadowed by the insurgency, this according to Nightrider newspapers The killings have intensified since the electoral victory of the Shiites and U.S. and Iraqi officials worry they could imperil progress toward a unified Iraq

It's the beginning and we could go down the slippery slope very quickly, said a spokesman for the Iraqi interior ministry, we've been so concerned with removing terrorists that this other situation has reared its ugly head Both sides are sharpening their knives Hey, my knives could use some sharpening, that's a good idea, that's a good thing Ladies and gentlemen, the transfer of Richard Nixon's papers and tapes to his presidential library in your Belinda may be delayed until 2007, President Bush's budget did not include the money for it A recent change in the law allowed the Nixon Archives to leave Washington for the first time since Watergate The Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace hoped to begin receiving the material later this year, but the National Archives budget request of nearly 3 million to pay for the move was unmet In Bush's budget request to Congress, it's going to be very difficult to move things around and make do without it Said the acting assistant archivist for presidential libraries Sharon Fawcett

The Nixon Library is the only presidential library to operate without federal funding and a National Archives collection All because Congress was fearful Nixon would destroy materials needed for Watergate So it passed a law after he resigned giving the government possession of his papers and tapes, but just a year ago the law was changed Allowing the archives to move, now all they need is the money I have no comment, but reportedly there is some comment on this matter among others on this recently arrived a self-recorded tape of Nixon and Heaven So we just got word that the papers won't be moving out to get away from our window Go on, get out of here Problem? Yeah, it's just a Thompson guy Thompson? Yeah, the new fellow comedy writer is just... Whoa, stand

Come on out, Nixon! Go away! Let's play some shotgun golf just you and me, what are your German henchmen? If we could close that window You've been in this place almost as long as I have, you know, their attitude This is the big heaven, you know, why would you ever need to touch a climate control infrastructure for Christ's sake? No, no, you're right It's like, you know, they never want to ask themselves, right now, we've got this, you know, open-air kind of architecture How do we shut out intrusive nights, I mean, that's where your window is Come on, Nixon, I've been waiting for this Let's go away, go find Jerry Garcia You know, that is their attitude That got him Always couldn't read the radicals like a book It's the price he's that he got him Thompson? No, no, no Don't forget, these radicals all here have their very liberal friends in very high places Even here?

Oh, especially here Yeah, no, that's right I mean, you know, this place is where it's in that regard The New York Times or CBS News No, that's right, there you go Yep, yep Might have thought twice about coming up here if we don't know that, you know No, sure, but you don't You never know, I mean, that's the way they like it Not in that regard, since they're right, they run the universe We do this matter of the papers And things not being moved to the library Oh, no, no, no, no I'll never let Nixon's materials go to Nixon's library So that would be a concession to the old man Nixon, I mean, you know, that's it, isn't it? It's right there It's part of it Oh, it's the other part The real part? Yep President, is he or not the budget for it? He did what? Is he or not? In the budget

That's right Bush day Yep Of course, it's just budget, it has to be improved I know the way the process works all of it I know you do All right But never again, you know, sometimes these people put the budget and it actually goes through Just because it goes against expectations That's the way they play the game, so No, I know, but the archives sent the shipping boxes back to Home Depot Well, what the hell kind of damn conservative is Mr. George Walker most concerned for himself to be If he's going to go along with the king Nixon's materials and Washington crown Well, he is more conservative than his dad Just dad? Yeah The eldritch flavor was more conservative than his dad Yeah Remember him? Yeah Black guy with the funny trouser Yes, yes There's your black history month featurette right now I'm sure But you've never seen that No That's something author No, it's not dry It's only pants with leather cod pieces That's right That's right Is that what those are called? Things so No, you won't see that

But no, as far as Bush has done, it's concerned There's two words Runker fellow away That's right Extreme end Leader of the extreme end of the Runker fellow away Republican party So, you know, I'd expect him to zero us out But That's the kid Yeah He's got the war to pay for Well, cranked on money to cost him moving every damn memo And every damn real estate to your Belinda Air mail Special delivery Which is about pay for one hour in a row I mean, yeah Yeah Suppose that's right Yeah, I mean, what's that going to accomplish? Maybe it's very important down You say this is what I mean about the lawyers always saying We shouldn't be conducting too many operations from up here Now, I understand they're concerned, I think too And there may be a good conduct clause or something that binds us And, well, I mean, you know

Who's the last person you heard of getting kicked out of here? You say, it doesn't happen It's a paper tiger And in the main time, you say Well, cry for her like George W. Bush, forget about you And then they forget about the The solemn principle That every president of the materials belonged its own library I mean, yeah Well, of course, that's the thing That is the thing You know, I mean I'm not going to get rich probably Never have, never will So, I mean, what else? No, I mean, not what you were in it for No, not what else in it for We used to talk a lot about fire bombing and liberal fling tech Brookings? That is the one, yeah Sure, when there was a clear and present danger that they possessed information that we needed That's right

But all is rather just a way of getting air attention No, I know But we never, what about a little operation The National Archives, you know, Lenny is born to tears with the radio stuff He just love to get back into the satellite Do something real Just don't think it's the case of the humans Are available, I know that No, I've seen that too That's no problem No, no Just think it might be premature Premature Anything that's premature, 30 years later My papers, my types Still are not under the control of people I trust I mean, is that your idea of premature?

Today Someday Like anything can happen Yeah, anything can happen I will make it shine I will make it rain sometimes And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's what's going to happen I'm going to read the trades for you Calm down, calm down This is from Ad Week About a story I tipped you off to a week or so ago about the people who were on trial for overbilling the office of drug control I'll read it for you

This is your brain on overbilling Deadline New York former Ogilby and Mather executives Shana Seifert and Thomas Erlie were found guilty this week of plotting to overbill the government's $1 billion office of national drug control policy account to cover a $3 million revenue shortfall on the business Seifert and Erlie were found guilty in all ten counts against them, one for conspiring to defraud the government, the rest for filing false claims The parent had led not guilty Seifert, a former executive group director at Ogilby, an agency put her head in her hands as the guilty verdicts were read for each of the counts Erlie, the shop's former financial director, set impassively The prosecution requested that Seifert be fitted with an electronic monitoring device until sentencing because she is a foreign national A foreign national was working the president's White House office of drug control policy account

Call Jeff Ganon, ask him about this way Her attorney, Greg Craig, last scene defending President Clinton during the impeachment, he leapt up saying such a move was unnecessary because Seifert was a, quote, model participant throughout the process The judge agreed, I don't think we need to go to electronic monitoring By then, Seifert's husband, pale and shaken by the verdict had joined her at the defense table They sat, huddled, arm and arm Seifert and Erlie could each receive up to five years in prison During testimony in court last week, both Seifert and Erlie insisted they did not ask Ogilby employees to doctor time sheets to fraudulently increase the number of hours billed to the office of national drug control policy Erlie did concede that some time sheets appeared to contain inaccuracies Ogilby issued this statement, many of the events described during the trial are completely inconsistent with Ogilby's core values

That's right ladies and gentlemen, an advertising agency has core values What will they think of next when I read the trades for you copyrighted feature of this broadcast?

Yo, lighting up, let's face it Like I give a hoot, straight ahead, take it easy, be cool, continued success Like brutal, like blunt, like really totally upfront The bottom line is, I could care less, I could care less Well ladies and gentlemen, that's going to conclude this edition of the show
