Clintoon needs to do what he does best. Have more of that stuff he doesn't consider sex.
I'm still amazed he hasn't opened an adult book and movie store, or is that what the Clintoon Library really is?

AUSTIN, Texas - Democrats can't be afraid to talk about hot-button issues, including abortion, and should fight back against personal attacks from conservatives if they want to regain power in Washington, former President Bill Clinton said Saturday.
"You can't say, 'Please don't be mean to me. Please let me win sometimes.' Give me a break here," Clinton said. "If you don't want to fight for the future and you can't figure out how to beat these people then find something else to do."
Clinton, whose 2004 memoir "My Life" was a best seller, drew roaring applause during his speech from the several hundred people gathered in the Texas House chamber to kick off the 10th annual Texas Book Festival, an event started by first lady Laura Bush when her husband was governor.
The event, which raises money for public libraries, is expected to draw as many as 30,000 people and authors including novelist Salman Rushdie, historian David McCullough and children's author Lemony Snicket.
Clinton attributed Republicans' control of Congress to Democratic candidates' inability or unwillingness to "stand up and be heard" on issues that matter to people. For example, he said, Democrats too often are unwilling to talk about abortion because they're afraid of virulent reactions from anti-abortion groups.
"So how come we can't talk about it?" he asked. "Because we basically let political ads turn every player in this drama into a two-dimensional cartoon instead of a three-dimensional person."
Clinton also criticized political reporters and authors for failing to use reason and common sense in their writing and failing to dig deeply into stories. Instead, he said, reporters let officials get away with saying things that aren't true so stories include comment from both sides.
The former president did not take questions from reporters and did not talk about the possibility that his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., will run for president in 2008.
He also did not address the Friday indictment of the vice president's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jr., on charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements, other than to say the Republican Party has had "a few bad days here lately."
Sit down and shut up.
Yeah, avoid them and then say that you want to get back to doing "the people's business."
DON'T FEAR TOUGH ISSUES:
"The former president did not take questions from reporters and did not talk about the possibility that his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., will run for president in 2008."

That pus-filled boil is named Clinton (him or her, take your pick). Until the Party lances and drains that boil, its sickness will continue. But Clinton (him or her) is not going to notice, much less mention, this "issue."
Did I miss anything?

Normal voters freak out when they glimpse what the left is all about. Clinton of all people knows this: It defined both his presidential campaigns. If you're so far left that the Miers opposition looks like "the far right," your best bet is spouting platitudes, keeping quiet about big issues, and developing a cult of personality.

How about being honest, Bill...not one of your strengths we know. THe rise of Republicans is a direct result of your total lack of morals, your incompetence in dealing with terrorism, your treason when dealing with N Korea, China and Iran, and your decision to tear this country apart by pitting people against people, race against race, all in the name of Bill Clinton's political viability.
As usual, Bill Clinton loves to hear himself talk about how great he is..the ultimate narcissist. Of course, every time he does, it just galvanizes his opponents.
He was wearing a pink-o commie tie!

As soon as Bubba said "Don't be mean to me", let me win some of the time", I recalled writing at FR about Hillery playing "Little Girl" with Lazio....Bubba said just about what I said about the Hillary/Lazio cutsey she pulled. His girly-talk words = Hillary. He doesn't give a sh** about Hillary. He just wants a nice ambassador's job in the end and with Hillary on the other side of the world.
"If you don't want to fight for the future and you can't figure out how to beat these people then find something else to do."
Clinton was President when the Dems lost control of Congress. Nuff said.
And ALWAYS check poll results before engaging mouth.
Most of hear the Dems load and clear: they are the party of murder, treason and socialism.
No amount of turd-polishing is going to make it any different.
Clinton: "Do as I say; not as I do"?
HUH? What is he talking about???!!!
V chips in your TV set.
