Janet Reno's medication & its side effects

Longshot

New member
I caught a segment of a talk radio program today about Janet Reno. Seems she suffers from Parkinson's disease or some similar malady. The interesting point made by the commentator, Mary Starrett on Portland's truetalk 800 am, was concerning the medication Reno is taking.

Side effects included depression, possibility of psychotic episodes, and other disturbing stuff. The name of the medication was long and I did not get to write it down (I was driving), so I wonder if there are any investigative geniuses out there who could link me to the info.

I love this forum! Will you look at that? 18 minutes to get an answer that authoritative.

Gotta love the combination of a) the internet and b) smart, educated people.
 
Thanks very much, Jim.

Now, how can we get this information out?

Oatka, any ideas?

I should also have stated that this was the medication she takes... Whether or not she still takes this one, I dunno...

If someone can confirm if she takes something else other than Sinemet, post the name of the drug and I will research it more.
 
Just heard about it again, same station, different show (Michael Medved) talking to a reporter with newsmax.com.

Searched the newsmax site, and...

Is Reno's Parkinson's Medication Clouding Her Thinking on Elian?

Jack Thompson

NewsMax.com's "Man in Miami" Jack Thompson reminds us that Attorney General Janet Reno is operating under the influence, taking the powerful drug Sinemet for her steadily worsening Parkinson's disease, while deciding the fate of six-year-old Elian Gonzalez.

As useful as the drug is in reducing tremors, its potential side effects are severe: "hallucinations, paranoia, severe depression, sleeplessness, confusion, nausea and dehydration."

Reno experienced the latter two side effects with a collapse in Mexico two years ago and a similar collapse last year during a Sunday church service in Washington, D.C.

As her condition deteriorates, even some Democrats have complained. Last year Senator Torricelli, D-N.J., questioned "whether the Attorney General has the sufficient capacity to discharge her duties."

As Reno is reported to command the team that is strategizing to take Elian Gonzalez forcibly from his Miami relatives' home, it would appear to be fair to ask the same question Torricelli asked.

After all, she presided over Waco while not on the medication. What is she now capable (or incapable) of while on a drug that warps reality?

From what I gather, there's also an issue of penis enlargement and extra facial hair.

Ah yes, Janet baby... "Gorilla my dreams"

(Choke, ack!)
 
Good Evening Everyone-

fmjcafe...my sentiments exactly! Your post had me laughing so much I had tears in my eyes...

Too bad one of the side effects isn't an irresistable urge to tell the truth ... it could save us a lot of money on these Waco investigations ...

Sen. Torricelli is an Anti, I believe. That would shed some serious credability issues on the current (in)Justice Department.

But then again keep in mind that just about any drug can have adverse side-effects and reactions. Taking too much Advill will induce migrain headaches in some people. Diarea is a comman reaction to anti-biotics.

Yes we should keep an eye on the AG, but let's not blow things out of proportion. Can anyone get more facts on this?
 
Yes there are lots of side effects to many medications, which is why we dont allow people to operate heavy machinery, or undertake risky adventures while under the influence of many medications. Id much rather see the C**NT drive a semi rather than help drive the country. Michael J. Fox has the same problem and he has had to quit his job, cause he cant control himself enought to act. ACT, not held lead this country. The bit** has got to go. Hopefully to hell, but I'll take forced retirement for now.

Well, considering that Reno launched a Waco style raid last night to capture Elian, risking who knows how many lives in order to secure a result they were reportedly close to achieving by negotiation, I think it's more than a suspicion that she's suffering psychotic side effects from that stuff she's taking.

Of course, I understand her rationale; When you work for the government, and exercise it's power, it can become very important to you to establish in everyone's minds that you can do whatever you d**ned well please, and that negotiation and compromise are for everyone else.

I know its not funny, but did anyone notice the banging sound on the podium when Janet Reno was giving the blurb on the Elian grab? You could heard this knocking sound from her hands shaking. I'm glad it wasn't her finger on the trigger
