January 5, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - Gen. Wesley Clark charged yesterday that the Republican-led impeachment of Bill Clinton was not "appropriate, and said that his opponents had failed to remove him from the White House.

Clark was praising Bill Clinton, his chief political sponsor, on NBC's "Meet the Press," when he was reminded that the House impeached him over the Lewinsky scandal. "He wasn't convicted," Clark responded.

Best title so far this year!

Are we there yet?

I'm still waiting for Dean's quote about the lewinsky scandal.

He said somthing to the affect of "You have a job to do, and interns isn't what your supposed to be doing".

I am still trying to locate the article on google and post it,I do know he said it in New Hampshire.

LOL -- And it's the real one. I checked.

So: lying under oath, tampering with witnesses, obstructing justice, taking advantage of an immature woman young enough to be your daughter and all the rest are now legally and morally acceptable?

[Fledermaus]

Just too bad Clark didn't say it himself!

Ya' gotta' love the Post.

They're a hoot, that's for sure.

Only for Democrats.

Taking advantage of a young woman over 18 certainly is legal, thank goodness. Women need to be smarter. I love those stories on Unsolved Mysteries where nobody knows where the boyfriend went, only that he took AMEX cash advances of $50,000.00 and her Ferrari, and split. Oh, but she's "such a smart and successful woman" and all he really needs is "the love of the right woman".

Proof he is Hillary's handpuppet.

Democrats do know how to get the job done.

[Fawnn]

I'd read that he wouldn't let her finish the "job," so wouldn't that make Monicagate underblown? ;)

Where was Russert to call out the massive contradiction of General Clark?

From early in the interview:

MR. RUSSERT: Are you concerned that people may suggest that by embracing Bill Clinton you're embracing all his values? GEN. CLARK: No, I'm not concerned by that. I think you have to look at the record of what he did as a president. I think he did some great things as president of the United States.

Then later, Clark makes an about-face:

GEN. CLARK: Of course, and I am very specific on the economy. But, Tim, you and I both know that when people are voting for president of the United States, they're looking at character, they're looking at value, they're looking at resume, they're looking at the person.

Winner!

Timmy the Potato is nothing but a Democrat s*ck. I gave up watching his Pablum years ago, when it became clear what his agendas were. ;-)

...taking advantage of an immature woman young enough to be your daughter...,Don't forget she was also his VERY junior employee, and this all happened in the workplace. Any CEO would have been fired for that and that alone.
