(blast from the past) CLINTON ON THE BEACH IN NORMANDY (Cindy Sheehan can still learn from him)

On June 6, 1994, Bill Clinton visited Normandy for the 50th anniversary of the invasion. If you recall, Clinton was very nervous about military issues early in his presidency. In fact, he was so ill at ease around military men that he wanted to end the tradition of the President saluting soldiers as he gets on and off his helicopter. A 'salute coach' was brought in to teach the boy genius how its done. It is easy to understand Clinton's hesitancy, after all, he famously wrote back in 1969 that he 'loathed the military'.
During his 1994 visit to the hallowed beaches of Normandy, Bill Clinton staged perhaps the most disgraceful photo-op in the history of the presidency. As Michael Hutchison noted, "The lone President arranging a pile of suspicious rocks into a cross on Normandy Beach while a perfectly-framed navy battleship just happens to float in the background." The interesting part of all of this is that photos of the beach only minutes earlier had shown no rocks nearby. They had been planted there by Clinton staffers for the phony photo op. It got even more transparent later on when Clinton "noticed that the small flag on a soldier's tombstone had apparently blown over and then rolled itself up; frowning that exaggerated frown and shaking his head in disgust, he unfurls the flag, plants it and salutes it while photographers shoot video of this "private moment" from behind the cemetary's fence." What a guy.
=================================================================
Cindy Sheehan and her machine are pretty good. But Clinton will forever be the champ. If anyone has the Normandy cross photo, please post it.

Hill, Bill and Elenor, I mean Chelsea are on Maui right now. Bill is looking for rocks and no one is commenting about Hillary doing bugger all on tax payer time as they are about GWB.
As for Chelsea, we can only hope there is a "cure".

If only Cindy could go from a loud guffaw to a lip-bitten teary-eyed grieving Mom in 1/2 a step...

Forgot about that shameless exhibition from a draft dodging anti-war protestor. Thanks for the reminder!

I am not an Art Bell type, but I still think Ron Brown was whacked by FOB's.

Ron Brown was really well done, but because of the importance of Normandy, that is the winner. This will hold up as long or longer than DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak (which may be forever).

The fake military suckup is from the DNC playbook.
Jf'nK used it and it didn't work for him either.

Sitting here listening to Sean, getting major blowing and rain as Katrina's path moved across Indianapolis, locked inside, thinking about reno, and richard scruggs, and gorelick, and bill and hill and their rearranging of our intelligence procedures in order to be able to control EVERY intelligence operation, foreign and domestic, with the ultimate control of all investigations following a documented chain directly to the oval office...where the president could KILL any investigation he did not like. Period. (Just learned this today...from an article sent me that was printed in frontpagemag.com back in May of last year...it SICKENED ME...all the dots of gorelick and reno and schruggs and the clintons are connected, perfectly, I'll post the link in my next post here)
and then you post the pictures of Elian's kidnapping and Waco...two events that make me feel absolutely violent inside...and I do mean violent.
This is turning out to be a not so good day.
