America knew Clinton is dirty long before his workplace harassment of Paula Jones (and rape fo Juanita Broderick) became public knowledge.

Whitewater was very similar to what Agnew did as governor and it cost him the VP slot. Clinton’s involvement in cocaine smuggling was also known in 1992.

Perhaps absence and/or complete loss of “shame”. We’re all about explaining away deviance as “Don’t judge me”.

Sorry, I lived through the Bill Clinton years. CNN can’t dupe me into believing that Trump is more plagued by scandal that the Clintons.

Bill Clinton.

In an effort to protect him they decided to push the idea that "everybody does it". So why should we care?

Since then they have repeatedly protected their "boys" with the same claim.

And somehow they are surprised when we have learned the lesson?

Well, the guys in the House have not quite learned it but the voters have.

Julian is a twit.

Yes.

Has he done any stories on Don Henry and Kevin Ives? Of course not. Murder of children is acceptable if it is done by democrats.

And yeah, it was murder. Not accident or inadvertent. Cold blooded murder.

American politics has been basically nothing but scandal since Iran Contra. People are burnt out and bored with it. Basically the only people that pay any attention are people that really hate somebody and the person they hate gets caught up in one. Everybody else is has lost interest, it’s just background noise.

Consider the source...Julian is a reprobate, posing as a twit.

CNN? You trust anything from that rat network?
