Fred Thompson sat with his head in his hands while the congressmen talked to. The senators.

You’d better put some ice on that.

As long as the left is now admitting that Clinton deserved to be impeached, and should have stepped down, I’m sure they’d have no problem removing from office all of Clinton’s judicial appointees appointed after the Lewinsky story broke.

The Bent One not only committed perjury, he committed subornation of perjury. He also was guilty of obstruction of justice. Those were the “high crimes” for which he was impeached.

The Rat @ssholes today want to reinvent history and pretend that the SinkEmporer merely had a “consensual” relationship with a 24 year old intern, and there was nothing more to it than that.

Liars, filthy disgusting Rat LIARS.

It occurred to me today that Clinton beating impeachment may have been providential. If he had lost, Gore would have run for President as the incumbent in 2000. He would almost certainly have won -- he barely lost as it was.

That would mean Al Gore would have been President on 9/11, and for at least three years thereafter. Let that sink in a bit.

-an editorial in 1960 reproaching Japan, saying they had no right to attack Pearl Harbor and that the US was justified in declaring war on the Empire.

-a scholarly article in 1931 stating that an iceberg has struck the Titanic, that the passengers will likely freeze to death in the water and that all nearby vessels should travel at flank speed toward the last know location of the mighty ocean liner.

-a DC constable in 1884 warning that local actor John Wilkes Booth doesn't seem right, and someone should tail him.

Uh should that be 1941 for Japan, 1912 for the Titanic and 1865 for Booth?

The NYT”S would play the same game as they did with Clinton, right now here today if it was a democrat president on the line. Only a fool would not see that.

If they are sincere they will call for removal of his name from public places, monuments and other things that could trigger abuse victims...or is that only for reprobates like Thomas Jefferson?

“After doing all this reading, I’m not sure my reasonable middle ground is actually reasonable. It may be that the conservatives of the 1990s were simply right about Clinton, that once he failed to resign he really deserved to be impeached.”

Exactly. He wasn't impeached for having an affair with Monica, he was impeached for perjury and suborning perjury.
