RUSH: Seems I've heard this before. Has Clinton not told this story before? It's hard to remember. But here's Bill Clinton during his eulogy for Rosa Parks yesterday in New Fallujah.
CLINTON: I remember as if it were yesterday that fateful day 50 years ago. I was a nine-year-old southern white boy who road a segregated bus every single day of my life. And I sat in the front. Black folk sat in the back. When Rosa showed us that black folks didn't have to sit in the back anymore, two of my friends and I who strongly approved of what she had done decided we didn't have to sit in the front anymore. (Laughter.)
RUSH: Oh, what a guy, what a guy, what a guy. Let me quickly go to Dave in Orlando because David's got the perfect take on this. Dave, welcome to the EIB Network.
CALLER: Oh, he just keeps giving, doesn't he?
RUSH: (Laughing.) What's he saying, what's he saying there?
CALLER: He is not saying that he's behind Rosa Parks. She is a great woman and she deserves all the respect our country can give her, he is saying I'm at least as good and I'm probably better. No, I'm definitely better, you just have to look closer.
RUSH: That's exactly right, it's an excellent point. Dave in Orlando nails it. With this story, Bill Clinton's pathology is clear. He goes to the funeral where the whole story is Rosa Parks. I mean, yesterday, the story is Rosa Parks, as it should have been, but Clinton has to make himself the story! He has to basically say, "I did the same thing she did, I was only nine. I was only nine years old, and my friends and I, when we saw what she did, we immediately decided we're going to sit in the back of the bus." So he's telling these people, "Hey, Rosa had nothing on me. I'm just as moral. I'm just as good as Rosa. I was only nine."
The only "crime" Rosa Parks ever committed was violating an unjust and unconstitutional law and exposing racism for what it was -- that's a far cry from being a serial sexual predator.
He's our first black president. Wasn't he supposed to sit back there anyway?
I mean, really, what a piece of work this man is.
Have you ever had to chaperone a school bus on a field trip......You'd be surprised what is tried at the back of the bus.....Hint: Fits right in to Slick WIlly's MO!
Was Willie Jr there to cheer his pop on?
:-D )))
Clinton does have a story; a sick, evil perverted one.
Piece of work, piece of sh!t, what's the difference?
I really was trying to keep it clean.
:-D
Our hijinks in the back of the bus in high school when we went to away sports games don't quite meet Slick's, but we used to have a blast back there!
Is anybody surprised that X42 made his speech all about him? Didn't think so!
The real story was probably that Clinton didn't have a clue what was going on when he was 9, moved to the back of the bus, Rosa detected the foul stench of immorality, and then decided it was time to make her move!
I heard a story today that Clinton couldn't have even rode on a mixed-race bus at 9 since Arkansas was still segregated at that time. Can anyone confirm this?
I thought Clinton was the first "black" President! What was he doing in the front of the bus in those days in the first place huh????
ROFLMBO!! Not unless he's returned from Austrailia [I believe] ...
LOL...:)
The famous case when schools were desegregated in Little Rock was in 1957, two years AFTER Rosa Parks rode the bus. The Supreme Court did not declare segregated buses unconstitutional until 1956. So, we would have to assume that buses were still segregated in Arkansas at that time.

It was easier to scope out all of the women coming onto the bus if he was in front!
As a precocious young'un, didn't the Schlickmeister also have some heroic goings-on with putting out fires at black churches?
And what was the story he told about walking through Harlem one day.
Just gross.
Figures. This guy is a real treat. Besides the church-burnings, he also had the story of "returning to Harlem" (regarding his new office space) when he got back from college. Yeah, right...I can just imagine a southern, white cracker walking around Harlem, during what was the same time as the racial unrest. Just wow!
