RUN, JANE, RUN!
Look, Jane, look. See Susan all decked out in the latest prison uniform. See how bright the color is. Can you tell that it is orange?
See the silver shackles on her ankles. They hold her legs together. Isn't it funny. Susan can only take little steps. Susan has to shuffle along. Susan cannot run. There is a guard on each side of her. They are there to catch her if she trips on the chains. They are there to shoot her if she tries to run away.
Do
you know why they put these chains on people? Do you know why the
prison uniform is bright orange? It is to show us that they are criminals,
dangerous criminals. Susan is shackled so she cannot run away and
she is bright orange so everyone can see she is a bad and dangerous person.
What did Susan do that was so bad? Why she is a dangerous criminal? Did she murder? No. Did she kidnap? No. Did she commit treason? No. Did she sell drugs? No.
Kennie, who represents our federal judicial system, ordered her to say, "Yes." Instead, Susan said, "No. What you want me to say is a lie and I will not lie."
So Kennie had no choice. Kennie had to send her to jail for 18 months. Kennie had to demonstrate how men will not take the answer "No" from a woman. Kennie knows that when a woman says "No," she really means "Yes."
So when Susan had spent 18 months in jail, Kennie brought her all the way across the country to Arkansas to have her say "Yes" -- or else. To have her say what Kennie wanted her to say.
Too bad. Susan didn't say "Yes." Susan said "No" -- again.
Look at Susan in front of a whole group of important people called a Grand Jury. See them all in their nice suits and dresses. See Susan in her bright orange prison uniform. See how funny she walks with her legs in heavy iron shackles.
Look, Jane, look. Check out the visit to the White House by Kennie and his fellow prosecutors. This is the sixth time he has questioned Hillary. This time, they taped a video of her answering their questions for 5 hours.
They
will show the video to the Arkansas Grand Jury. Were they being nice
to Hillary by coming to the White House instead of making her go to Arkansas?
Hardly. Kennie wants the video to leak to his boy friends like
Ollie, GeeGee and Rushie. You know, the ry-chus ones who take small
bits of film/words out of context and use them to make nasty claims that
are picked up by the media.
Will the sixth interview with Hillary be the charm? Kennie wants her to say "Yes." He wants her to agree with him that she has done something wrong. Six times now she has said "No." When will Kennie "get" it?
Maybe never, but he has only one week left with the Arkansas Grand Jury. One week to show what he has been doing with $40 mil. One week to "get" Hillary.
Keep looking, Jane. Don't look away. Kenny has another Grand Jury in Washington, D.C. He has called Betty in for the fourth time. Kennie wants her to say she saw Bill and Monica playing house. He wants Betty to tell him that she was the pimp, er, realtor.
If we hurry, we can see Monica's mother forced to testify against her daughter again. We can see Kennie make her cry again. Kennie loves his job.
He thinks it's O.K. to hurt people and make them sad; that's why he smiles so much -- he's having fun. He thinks his meanness is justified because when women say "No" they really mean "Yes." He's got his orders and all the dollars he needs to continue.
Ring around the Kennie, Pocket full of s'peonies. Contempt, contempt. All go to jail.
