Ex-prez won't leave the stage

This man is good? That's ridiculous. Doesn't anyone have eyes or ears? The man could be a real copy of Elmer Gantry. I advise everyone to watch this movie staring Burt Lancaster. You can really see the similarities. Maybe people will start seeing Clinton for what he is. A lot of hot air and nothing behind it. He is a tragic comedy governed by absolute greed.

[freekitty]

Also, haven't you ever felt the carnival like atmosphere surrounding Clinton? Seriously, folks, he is nothing more.

[Howlin]

Hear! Hear!

``At least it gave our Supreme Court a rare opportunity to stand up for minority rights.''

That SOB.

[mombonn]

``I would swear he was looking right at me.''

He wasn't looking, he was leering.

[texasbluebell]

That SOB.

You're too kind.

[Cedric]

...."I would swear he was looking right at me.''....

This is a perfect illustration of why Clinton won. Bill Clinton makes eye contact with audience members. Big woopee! I was taught to do that in a sales training class when I was 19 years old!
How good do you have to be if the media get all "moist" in reporting your god-like prowess for having successfully accomplished mundane feats?

[alethia]

Didn't he also comment on changing the Constitution to allow for Presidents to serve more than 2 terms -- just not consecutively? Yeah -- we know what ole BJ wants...

[gathersnomoss]

``It's amazing how he does that,'' said one young woman. ``I would swear he was looking right at me.''

And just what do you "feel" he was thinking about? There will come a day in my lifetime when this man will cease to exist.

[gathersnomoss]

I don't recall voting for the slimemeister.

[gathersnomoss]

As much as I wish that Bill Clinton would shut up, and fade away I know that he never will. On the bright side, every time he opens his mouth it hurts the Dimocrats!

You are right. Let him spew on.....

[Carolina]

Charming and ruthless, flawed and beguiling, Clinton continues to fascinate because he remains that bundle of contradictions. That and because he remains on the stage. The coffee shop in Chappaqua aside, it's where he really lives.

Ruthless, yes....flawed, definitely yes...beguiling, cobras are beguiling....fascinating, revolting is more accurate.

"We acted like spoiled, petulant children and turned our backs on an upstanding, high-caliber, former war hero because he capitulated to a venal George Mitchell plot to break the "read my lips" pledge, and because he wasn't Ronaldus Magnus. Things were so good back then we thought we'd indulge ourselves by electing a man-child charlatan "for kicks". We got what we deserved!!! "

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

It wasn't as simple as you say...For one thing this man's name comes to my mind here.."Ross Perot".

I agree with your mention of the "read my lips" phrase...although that would have never got traction...if it wouldn't have been a DNC ''talking point'' that was faxed to every lame-stream mouth piece Clymer in the nation..!! And if the moronic walking dead Elephants in both house's..had a clue.

"WE"...didn't get what "WE" deserved....."WE" got what the brain-washed unthinking Sheeple in this country apparently wanted..!!

I frankly think..."WE" can lay the blame squarely on the MEDIOT's in this country...for NOT...doing their JOBS!! They are supposed to be watch-dogs...not SocialistMarxistDemoLiberal lap dogs..!!

RANT OFF...nothing personal. hehehe......

Nor did I, but enough of our bretheren on the "right" were either apathetic or hostile toward Bush-41 and Dole to allow "us" {the U.S.} to elect the worst president in our nation's history.

[Cedric]

Sorry. Praise the Lord "we" elected George W. Bush. And God forgive us "we" elected Clinton!!
Ross Perot serves to make my point. We {the right} flirted with that nutbag just enough to let Clinton sneak into office with 43% of the vote.

Rachelle Cohen is an editorial writer and I believe writes a column one day a week at the Boston Herald. She is almost always on the left. I usually only have to read the first paragraph to know where she is coming from and as a result do not read her column or her editorials very often. I thank God for Rush and the Freepers every day. Although, I do subscribe to the Herald as I enjoy having a morning paper to keep up on local news and Howie Carr has written for the Herald for years.

"I did not have sex with that woman."

[steve-b]

an upstanding, high-caliber, former war hero because he capitulated to a venal George Mitchell plot to break the "read my lips" pledge

It's traditional to insert more padding than this between mutually exclusive statements.

[Cedric]

They're not.

[Cedric]

Unless {as I suspect} you're numbered among the crowd who concluded that because Bush-41 was naive and fell for Mitchell's "for the good of the country" ruse, we might as well go ahead and elect a pathological liar, who, oh by the way, is also a tax-cheat, monanizer, serial adulterer, draft dogder and stealth socialist!
