As I sit at my computer composing this letter, tears are streaming down my face. "After the Love Is Gone," by Nora Ephron (Op-Ed, Sept. 29), her essay about Bill Clinton, struck a note.
How right she is, and how often I have mirrored her thoughts over the past couple of years. Had Al Gore become our president, there is no way that the United States would have waged this illegal war in Iraq. Life would be very different for hundreds of thousands of people.
A simple twist of fate - a simple pizza delivery?

To the Editor:
Nora Ephron's article hit the Clinton nail squarely on the head. It was brilliant. Its impact is in no way diminished by the suggestion that she might have included in her anti love letter the fact that this former president allowed himself to be co-opted - in the wake of the tsunami - by the very administration that seeks to reverse and/or undermine everything he stands for.

To the Editor:
Nora Ephron has spoken for all of us who are in the same boat with her by connecting the dots that lead directly from the mess that Bill Clinton made of his life and his presidency to the mess that the country now finds itself in. But I don't think she went far enough.
When faced with ruin, Mr. Clinton, as was his wont, chose to see the scandal in terms of saving himself rather than his country and his party. He should have resigned and allowed Al Gore to succeed to the presidency.
If he had done the honorable thing...

BWAAHHAA!!!
Have a laugh!
Just as I suspected. They are living in an alternate world. Reality has passed them by. All they can do is revisit lost opportunities.
Ironic. They still worship Clinton's ideals, but they now are beginning to admit that he betrayed their trust. It was 1996, so we're talking almost ten years to grasp it.
Hers, though, is dwarfed by comparison to the average NYTimes reader.
Bill Clinton can't be co-opted because he has no core values to start with. He twists with the winds of political expedience.
Disillusion in liberals is a horrible thing to behold. HAAAA, HAAAA, HAAAA.
Hers, though, is dwarfed by comparison to the average NYTimes reader.
Anti-Ephron, Anti-Clintonite Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
What do you expect? They're just a bunch of "Blue-Dress Democrats" !!
(return volley)
...they'll swallow ANYTHING from Clinton !
(heartfelt apologies to Juanita Brodderick and other real victims of Clinton's sexual assaults.)
Yes, if only they hadn't fought so hard, so dirty, and so long to keep the S.O.B. in office, we might still be shaking off the effects of a one term Gore Administration. "Be careful what you wish for, lefties, you just might get it".
From the article:
"When faced with ruin, Mr. Clinton, as was his wont, chose to see the scandal in terms of saving himself rather than his country and his party. He should have resigned and allowed Al Gore to succeed to the presidency.
If he had done the honorable thing..."
I guess what the democrats have learned, but they don't want to admit it, is that CHARACTER COUNTS!
But why did it take this long after Clinton was caught
smiling and giggling at Ron Brown's funeral, on his
way to be serviced by Monica, to catch on?
That's what's so disturbing about liberals - their complete
and utter submersion in unreality and deranged fantasies.
Ten Years After, Greatful Dead bump!
Nawww, I really better not comment on this turn of phrase....
It's kind of like that time in high school when you couldn't figure out what it was that gorgeous girl saw in that greasy slime-ball she was dating.
Hell, I've been out of high school for over ten years now, and I still don't know why all the women I meet seem to be dating greasy slimeballs.
