....has been spent trying to "get" Bill Clinton even before he took office in 1993. He has more to spend, and thus a $40 million commercial-free propaganda film with Disney is no surprise. When you have as much money as Mellon-Scaife, I suppose you don't care who knows what you do and who doesn't.

4. I think we all knew who was behind this |
|
But hearing it made it even more painful.
It's official folks, corporations own Planet Earth. We just live in it.

9. And it's all inherited money |
|
Sciafe never earned a dime on his own.
Many of his projects are money-losers.

2. The producer, Marc E. Platt |
|
has strong ties to Penn -so it's entirely possible RMS had at least some interest.

8. Scaife, Olin, Koch, Coors, Bradley, etc. |

I would like proof, but I have no difficulty believing one of those right-wing think tanks ponied up the jingle.

11. And given how UNpopular the Clinton impeachment juggernaut was, |
|
I think we should be getting this information out there to the majority who were against the impeachment. Of course, we will also have to tell them of Scaife's role in that foolishness, since the media never did their job on that one, either.
