SEE FOOTNOTE FOR A REAL EXPLINATION OF JANET "EVIL" RENO
Reno, Janet (1938- ), United States attorney general (1993- ), the first woman to hold the position. She was born in Miami, Florida, and educated at Cornell University and Harvard Law School. After graduating from Harvard in 1963 she practiced law in Miami with several firms. She became staff director of the Florida House Judiciary Committee in 1971, then assistant to the state's attorney in Miami in 1973. She returned to private practice for two years in 1976. In 1978 Reno was appointed Miami's state attorney, a post to which she was reelected five times. She developed a reputation as a staunch protector of defendant's rights and a tough enforcer of child-support laws. In 1993, when President Bill Clinton (1993- ) appointed Reno U.S. attorney general, she vowed to use her new position to defend abortion rights. Her early days in office were occupied with a standoff near Waco, Texas, between Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents and members of the Branch Davidian religious cult. The standoff ended after the FBI agents attempted to force the members of the cult out of the compound, which then burned, killing many cult members.

Also presided in child molester witch hunts where the accused were convicted on little evidence beyond child testimony warped by psychologists' and social workers' leading questions and demands that children admit to abuse. This was in Florida before she was appointed to attorney general. Her report to Congress on Waco was of highly questionable authenticity considering the revelations to come out recently.

"Whenever Bill Clinton sends Janet Reno on a mission, I recall the behavior of that mischievous rascal Nero, who sent his mother Agrippina on a doomed cruise aboard a vessel rigged to fall apart on the open sea. At least Nero quickly put Agrippina out of her misery when she managed to swim ashore, mercifully truncating her interval of grief and shame. But Clinton appears to have an illimitable appetite for casting Reno into waters way over her head.

"From Waco to Miami, Reno knows the ordeal by heart. She knows the sickening vertigo when solid footing vanishes beneath her and she plunges into the murky depths. She knows there will be no miraculous intervention by dolphins or passing fishermen. She knows she can count on nothing more than the air bubble in her panty hose to keep her ass from sinking to the bottom.

"Yet the old girl makes it to shore, flopping and gasping, every time. Hardly is the brine cleared from her lungs, and she's being sent on another fool's errand to divert public scorn and ridicule away from her master and onto herself.

"Now I ask you: Between the two autocrats, Clinton and Nero, who is clearly the more accomplished sadist?"

Like her or hate her, Janet Reno was Attorney General. Keep this in mind as you read.

Janey Reno said that when her time as AG was up, she wanted to drive around the country and travel; to get out an see the sites of a nation. So, after long deliberation, her co-workers decided NOT to give her a radar detector for the trip. It was close, however.

The truth is stranger than fiction; it was on the evening news. Somewhat inappropriate, considering it is a device to evade prosecution.
