It's in Tennessee, but I think it's near Arkansas!

Subject: Letter of Thank You to ex President Bill Clinton

Dear Mr. Ex-President:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, . . . specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one involved does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.

9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars-I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more well deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned dollars than jet fuel for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you; the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society.

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware, I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel, thank you!

13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her upcoming "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $5 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!

14. The last and most important point- thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.

Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth? What a guy!! If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these fact, pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.

SINCERELY,

A US Citizen

Well done! I imagine Freepers could get this list to over 1000 with no trouble at all - but this is a great start!

It does not seem possible to isolate one home and restore power. Much as I hate the dems I just can't see how this could work.

We just got our power back on a few hours ago. I didn't even know slick was here till this morning.

I was thinking back on when we all freeped algore at the Hyde residence back in '99. I was thinking it would have been nice to do a repeat, but then I thought, he's not worth it.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone who has publically broken at least three of our Lord's Commandments get church gigs.

Hi, TC! So, it was in 1999, not 2000, when we did the Algore Freep at this SAME home on Glenwood Avenue. Who knows? Perhaps our little Freep was the beginning of the end of the Goron's Presidential hopes???? Why, the Democratic party's power brokers were quite irate that all of Raleigh did not bow and scrape for the Vice-Cheat, as expected. Prelude to the 2000 election Freeps the following fall.

No, you're right, Clintigula's visit drew total yawns this year given the frozen temps and the ice storm sufferings. Good idea to not draw any more attention to an event which nature (God) had made sure was dwarfed by other concerns.

TC - don't you know anybody who takes the News and Observer who could clarify the report I was given about the print copy of today talking about this location getting power while surrounding neighbors continued to freeze? The person telling me this could have had a frazzled frozen brain because of shivering through last night - but again, they were so irate at reading this they wanted to be SURE the news was reported HERE!

I am absolutely dizzy trying to keep up with the Harlem Globetrotter's schedule. Let's see, last Wed-Fri in Oxford, England, for Thanksgiving with Chels, then to Monterrey, Mexico for another big bucks speaking gig, flying to New York Monday night for the Tuesday NYU gig where he told the DLC what to do, Friday in Raleigh, NC, today (Saturday) back in Great Britain, this time Liverpool, for a "charity" event (story here). I'm sure I've missed a few countries, too.

Is cocaine an effective treatment for jet lag? And who's taking poor Seamus for walks?

We'll keep working to track down the actual hard copy N&O to verify this report. The online article is quite factual and outrageous enough re: the remarks made and the "cause" for the fundraiser. ( I would like this "cause" investigated because I don't believe for one second any money raised by Bill Clinton is going to help one single NC citizen hurt by Hurricane Fran. Instead, I am SURE this money is going to fatten the Democratic Party's hurting financial coffers ----- but need to find a way to be prove it. As usual, the N&O will never tell us those facts until years from now if at all.

"We are going through the U.N. first. But we haven't ruled out the use of force."

This line just burns me up. As if HE knows.

Oops, I missed a trip to Little Rock on Thursday, in between the visits to New York and Raleigh. Whew! Our tax dollars are really working hard, considering he travels with 20 bodyguards, all of whom must be transported, fed, housed, etc.

Good questions. It was just sweet justice that nobody much in NC cared about the Liar's presence here given our ice storm.

Good catch. Consistent? Are you kidding? How can a LIAR be consistent? The only thing consistent about Bill Clinton is just that - EVERY TIME HE IS TALKING, HE IS LYING!

I suppose this wasn't "news" in Arkansas since NO ONE reported it! ROFLOL! May he NEVER get any press! That would truly be a killer for the jerk(that and for people to stop paying him to show up).

What does that tell you when he can't even get press in his former state?(thank you, New York) They had to call on the FORMER "first cat", SOCKS, to lead a parade in Little Rock, AR, today to get press. lol!

But ... it isn't what you "do" with these people, it's what you say - if you say you're concerned, that's enough.

That's how he got away with it!

remember this: Gore Visits RTP, Tours IBM, Attends Fundraiser RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK (WRAL) -- Vice President Al Gore made his rounds in the Triangle Thursday afternoon. He kicked off the visit by heading to IBM's campus in Research Triangle Park.

Vice President Al Gore arrived at RDU shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday.

Accompanied by Governor Hunt and IBM executives, the vice president received a lesson in computer building.

The vice president headed downtown for a $1,000 per seat fund-raising dinner.

Gore toured the manufacturing floor of IBM's computing division, where millions of commercial desktop PCs are made each year.

IBM closed down part of its assembly line for Gore's visit. Accompanied by Governor Hunt and IBM executives, the vice president received a lesson in computer building.

IBM makes 8,000 computers a day in its RTP operation. It takes about 11 minutes to assemble a machine using the team approach and progressive assembly.

Gore put stickers on and plugged in circuit boards under the guidance of a real IBM assembly team.

The vice president requested the trip to the Triangle to meet with leaders in the growing technology industry. After finishing the computer, Gore headed to a meeting with members of the North Carolina Electronics & Information Technologies Association (NCEITA).

"It's a chance for the vice president to talk a little bit about the information economy," says Joan Myers, president of NCEITA, "but also for our board members to talk about some of the issues that are critical in their businesses, and some of the federal regulations and issues that are impacting the growth and prosperity of the IT industries."

From there Gore headed to a supporter's home in downtown Raleigh on Glenwood Avenue for a $1,000 per seat fund-raising dinner.

"I think it's a lot of hoopla for nothing," says Jerry Whittington, who drove one of the guests to the dinner. "Why should the taxpayers have to pay for it? They should hire all the cops to look after it."

Local members of the Free Republic group protested the visit. They are concerned about questionable fund raising by the vice president.

"He has stood by this most ethical administration in history through all these years, patted the president on the back after he was impeached, and called him one of America's greatest presidents," says Teddy Crider with the Free Republic. While this type of event is old hat for some people, valet Carl McGill says it was a big deal. He even had a briefing with the secret service.

"It's been so exciting," McGill said. "We got a lot of information on it yesterday, I can't say a lot of stuff, but last night I could hardly sleep."

I feel like I'm being stalked by the SOB. We just got back from a UK vacation last weekend and it seemed everytime we turned around over there he, the shedevil, or Web's kid was dogging our heels. I barely get a weeks rest and he's in Raleigh.

I was amazed how they love him over there, but then the French worship Jerry Lewis and the Germans love Hasselhoff. Must be something in the water.

I feel your pain. We missed the hideous offspring by about four hours at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in mid-October.
