Clinton Calls Impeachment Battle 'Badge of Honor'
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) called his fight against impeachment a "badge of honor" and his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky "morally indefensible" in a CBS television interview.
In the hourlong interview on CBS "60 Minutes" this Sunday, two days before publication of his memoir "My Life," Clinton said he was proud of his successful fight against impeachment, the network said in excerpts released on Wednesday.
"I didn't quit, I never thought of resigning and I stood up to it and beat it back," he said.
"The whole battle was a badge of honor. I don't see it as a stain, because it (the impeachment process) was illegitimate," added Clinton, who called the process "an abuse of power."
Clinton's more than 900-page memoir, published by Alfred A. Knopf, hits book stores on June 22.
He told "60 Minutes" that high on his list of regrets was his affair with Lewinsky, which he called "a terrible moral error."
Clinton said his wife, Hillary, and daughter, Chelsea, were able to overcome the effect of the revelation of the affair through counseling.
The former president said Hillary needed time with him to decide whether she would stay married to him.
"We'd take a day a week, and we did -- a whole day a week every week for a year, maybe a little more -- and did counseling," said Clinton. "We did it together. We did it individually. We did family work."
Clinton said there was no rational explanation for his adulterous behavior.
"I did something for the worst possible reason. Just because I could," the former president said. "I think that's just about the most morally indefensible reason anybody could have for doing anything."
Clinton also discussed other issues during the interview, including the war on terror and Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and regretted his failure to convince Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) to accept a proposal he thought could finally bring Middle East peace, CBS said.
Hmmmm...and how did Bill the Drill get over it?? Or did he? Maybe another bimbo somewhere eased his pain.
In his defense... it may be the closest thing to honor he's ever been associated with.
I think I read about that in Monica's testimony. Wonder if Nancy had a clue about Bubba making love to her office sink?
If you're a shrink, having Bill Clinton for a patient is like playing in the World Series.
(reprise) ATTEMPTED MURDER OF GARY JOHNSON SAVED THE CLINTONS IN 1992
Citizens for Honest Government - Pat Matrisciana | 1994
Posted on 06/08/2003 8:53:58 PM PDT by doug from upland
I personally know Pat Matrisciana and some of the researchers for the CLINTON CHRONICLES. I've met troopers and others involved. I've met and interviewed Paula Jones. Never have I accused the Clintons of the attempted murder of Gary Johnson. But those who tried to murder him clearly were doing it to benefit Bill Clinton.
=====================================
LARRY NICHOLS: During the 1992 presidential campaign, I was getting bludgeoned by the media because Gennifer Flowers had come out of my lawsuit. A man called me on the phone on a Monday, his name was Gary Johnson. He was an attorney. He told me that he felt bad because I was being bludgeoned, and he wanted to talk to me about handling my case. Well, I was craving an attorney, any attorney to help me.
GARY JOHNSON: You know, I saw Larry out there doing battles, so to speak, on his own, and I felt like he needed some help.
LARRY NICHOLS: I met him on a Tuesday. He was a special attorney; I didn't even know it. You see, he lived next door to Gennifer Flowers.
NARRATOR: For security purposes, Gary Johnson had installed a video camera near the front door of his Quapaw Tower Condominium.
GARY JOHNSON: Looking at someone in front of my door, it got a perfect shot of them in front of Gennifer Flowers' condominium, and it wasn't my intention ever to take pictures of Bill Clinton going in to see Gennifer Flowers. I could care less who Bill Clinton goes to see. But it just so happened she lived next door to me and I mounted the camera there.
LARRY NICHOLS: Guess what he caught on tape? Bill Clinton walking into Gennifer Flowers' apartment on numerous occasions--with a key.
GARY JOHNSON: I actually saw him go into her condominium. It wasn't that I was standing there looking out my peep hole, watching Gennifer Flowers' condominium. It had nothing to do with Bill Clinton, it's just that I had got, I had got the camera. I had the camera before Gennifer Flowers' moved in and when she moved in she just happened to have some very interesting house guests.
LARRY NICHOLS: Go back to 60 minutes when Bill and Hillary were love and kisses. They stood up and lied, and Bill said that he'd never been to her apartment, that he'd only called her once from the kitchen and from his office. That's an absolute lie, and these tapes proved it.
NARRATOR: The 60 Minutes interview had been designed specifically to save Clinton's campaign, not necessarily to get to the truth.
DON HEWITT ( Executive Producer, " 60 Minutes"): And they came to us because they were in big trouble in New Hampshire. They were about to lose right there and they needed some first aid. They needed some bandaging. What they needed was a paramedic. So they came to us and we did it and that's what they wanted to do. When I told Tim Russert that I was persona-non-grata at the White House, he said, "Why?" I said, "The Gennifer Flowers interview." He said, " You got him the nomination." I said, " I know that." As far as I know from the conversations I've had, Bernie Nussbaum knew that, Gergen knows that, Lloyd Cutler certainly knows it 'cause Lloyd had a hand in his coming on that night.
You know it was strong medicine the way I edited it but he was a very sick candidate. He needed very strong medicine, and I'm not in the business of doctoring candidates but he got up out of a sick bed that night and walked to the nomination and as I said to Mandy, " You know if I'd edited it your way, you know where you'd be today? You'd still be up in New Hampshire looking for the nomination." He became the candidate that night.
JUDGE JIM JOHNSON: When the Gennifer Flowers story broke, that story was a hundred times more credible than the story that literally knocked Gary Hart out of the campaign.
GARY JOHNSON: I'd been Gennifer Flowers' neighbor, I knew that Bill Clinton wasn't telling the truth about that. Bill Clinton, I think, would do just about anything to, to save his political hide.
LARRY NICHOLS: He got threatening phone calls. He asked me, he said, " Will they hurt me?" I said, "Well, they haven't hurt me." And I don't know why I didn't worry more about that.
GARY JOHNSON: Basically what they said was, " You mind your own business," and all it did was made me mad. I never thought in a million years that anybody would follow up on it.
LARRY NICHOLS: We filed the request for the subpoenas on Thursday. Saturday morning we found Gary Johnson beaten and left for dead. And without getting into gory details, both elbows were dislocated, his collar bones were broken, his spleen and his bladder were ruptured with holes the size of half dollars in them. His nose, his sinus cavities were all crushed. He had been beaten by Clinton's people.
INTERVIEWER: Were they very large?
GARY JOHNSON: Yes, ( laugh ), yes they were.
INTERVIEWER: Did they say, " Where's the tape?"
GARY JOHNSON: Yes, they asked me for the tape.
LARRY NICHOLS: Now what's sick is the man gave them the tapes, and then they went and broke his elbows, punctured his spleen, punctured his bladder.
GARY JOHNSON: They looked like state troopers, I'll say that. Clinton can be a very dangerous individual in the state of Arkansas.
Clintooooon and Honor are mutually exclusive!
bump
yea, agree. it's self evident this guy has mental problems...what's amazing is the amount of facts that are out there and that the mainstream media just buries their respective heads in the sand for their own agenda......if it was a republican it would be a different set of rules...
Yeah, like this sociopath ever went to "counselling".
(A) First I thought he said he didn't have sex with "that woman"
(B) I thought oral sex isn't sex
(C) It all depends on what the word "is" is
American voters made a mistake with Bill Clinton, voting for him twice. I would like to think they realize their mistake. I would like to think that like me, they realize this ghastly mistake, and never do it again. Never again!
With the dividends from the fall of communism and all the great things that RWR did to spur the economy, that thing Clinton did to talk about school uniforms, that was, I mean, wow, gosh I'm glad we spend all that money on these people to solve the really big problems.
DSM-IV - Narcissistic Personality Disorder is indicated by at least five of the following traits:
1. An exaggerated sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
2. Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. Believes he is "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4. Requires excessive admiration
5. Has a sense of entitlement
6. Selfishly takes advantage of others to achieve his own ends
7. Lacks empathy
8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him
9. Shows arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behaviors or attitudes
Did he say blow job of honor?
Its still all about HIM. The little matter of lying under oath and abuse of power is inconsequential cause it was all "illegitimate" you see. Well someone needs to ask Bubba if that was the truth, why he did he plead "no contest" before Judge Susan Wright for perjury and obstruction of justice and agreed to be disbarred? A disbarred lawyer is still no matter how you cut it, a disgrace to his profession and to our justice system and no amount of Clinton spin will change it. That's his legacy.
MORALLY INDEFENSIBLE? LEGALLY INDEFENSIBLE. He didn't
beat it back. It was some members of the spineless
Senate who fancied themselves members of an exclusive
club who didn't want to rock the boat. We have to beat
these two piranhas back before they get control of this
country again. 8 yrs. of Bill Clinton we have endured.
We bit the bullet in 2000, and we cannot endure 4 or 8
years of those two again. Hillary was tantamount to being
President while he was in office doodling around. May the
Clinton Dynasty fizzle out on the ash heap of American
history.
And here I thought he was just suffering from delusions of adequacy.
I wonder if the "BLUE DRESS" will be on display in his LIBRARY? I hope so......He can label it his "BADGE of HONOR".
