Do you happen to have a copy/link of her article, "I Told You So," the one where she went ballistic when he announced he WAS going to run for president after swearing not to? I lost mine!

And he left office with a higher approval rating than Reagan.

And Bush's approval ratings are higher right now than Clinton's EVER were.

He subscribes to the credo that the anointed must rule the empire, and he has anointed himself. In his ambition-blinded eyes, one released from a promise has not broken any promise.

My God, and he is still anointed in his and so much of the world's minds. If only we had heeded this warning.

It is the same article as above.

It was originally published on October 4, 1991 with the title "Taking Bill Clinton at his word: Basking in a false and empty light", then republished on September 13, 1998 with the title "I told you so".

Of course you are right. And now I remember that I have asked you for this very same article on more than one occasion. This time, I'm saving for sure. Thanks AGAIN!

along with Paul Greenberg, both of the Ark Dem Gazette.

Paul Greenberg

"Does he have a vision or agenda that he pursues, does he have direction in which he is leading the country? I have never been able to detect any particular principal that Bill Clinton would not sacrifice in order to advance his political career."

"The question of his stand on the Gulf War came up .... he mentioned almost casually he had supported the use of force in that war. And that really threw me. Because I remembered that he had not. ... I remember feeling shaken, ... I sped down the 43 miles to the paper, looked up the clips, and of course he had not supported the war. He had issued a classic waffle that would allow him later to take whatever side looked popular whether we had won or lost that conflict. It was a very convoluted statement ... it had so many escape clauses he would have had a hard time not coming out on top no matter how the war came out. We have a term for those escape clauses in Arkansas. Those are called "Clinton Clauses." Seldom, if ever, will you catch Bill Clinton in anything so direct as a lie. There is always a premeditated quality to many of his statements that give him an out in case he decided to abandon a promise or betray an assertion. "

"So that Bill Clinton is very much a man of the '90's. Or maybe the '90's is very much a reflection of Bill Clinton. I'm not sure which. But I think we do live in a Clintonized culture. Just turn on your television set, or read your newspaper or try to find out what the latest spin is, and you can see what counts is the right sentimental expression, the right style rather than anything below the surface, rather than any kind of profound quality. Rather than any sense of pain or sacrifice that awaits us."

Obviously, CorporategreedGate is a direct reflection of Bill Clinton's lawlessness while POTUS, but I disagree that a strong majority of Americans believe Fraud and Graft and Murder and Rape and Treason are unprosecutable fer the Effete Elite.
