Liberal "intellectuals" who were educated beyond their intelligence.
Wish I was there. I could make a fortune with my "Rent a Knee pad" concession.
Well, here in ORlando, the talk-radio DJ sent a live report out to a local bookstore where the on-site reporterette reported that...no one was in line to get "MY Lies". She said she had to go next door to the coffee shop to find anyone remotely interested in the book. This was on 580AM, Orlando.
Heck, Clinton gave "100's of 'I don't recall' answers" in a *single* appearance. All of the following are verbatim from Clinton's 8/17/1998 appearance under oath before the Grand Jury:
Let me begin with the correct answer -- I don't know for sure.
I have no specific memory [...]
But I do not remember when they were or at what time of day
they were or what the facts were.
I just don't know. I don't remember.
But I'm giving you what I specifically remember, and then what
I generally remember.
I don't remember that, [...]
I don't remember who requested the meeting though. I'm sorry I don't.
I don't remember what the bag was I gave them in.
I don't remember that, sir. I mean, there could have been.
I just don't remember.
I don't remember what else.
I don't -- I didn't remember the cherry chocolates.
I seem to remember I gave her some kind of pin.
I don't remember that. I'm not denying it. I just --I'm telling
you what I remember and what I don't.
But I was trying to remember [...]
My memory is not clear.
I'm not sure, [...]
I do not know [...]
I have searched my memory for this [...]
I can tell you what I remember about the conversation and you can
see why I'm having trouble placing a date.
[...] I'm not sure it happened [...]
That's the memory I have.
I don't remember that.
I remember, sir -- I've told you what I remember. It doesn't
mean that my memory is accurate.
My experience was totally different.
I asked them to help me because I couldn't remember the specifics.
My testimony is that my memory is that [...]
I'm sorry I don't remember when it was -- [...]
QUESTION: Do you remember that? CLINTON: No, sir.
Just because I don't remember doesn't mean it wasn't there.
I wouldn't deny that. I just don't remember it.
You asked me if I remember it. I don't. She might have done it.
I don't remember when I said that.
I don't remember whether it was in 1996 or when it was.
I don't remember.
I do not know when I said this.
So I don't know whether we did have any sort of inappropriate
relationship at the time I said that to her.
I don't remember.
I don't know.
I don't know the answer to that.
Yes, I think what I meant there is I don't recall what they
were, not that I don't recall whether I had given them.
[...] but I did not remember giving her a gold broach, [...]
I didn't remember it.
I may have given it to her, but I didn't remember giving her one.
And I don't know why I didn't think to say anything about them, [...]
[...] what I was trying to determine was whether my recollection
was right [...]
I was downloading what I remembered.
I don't remember exactly what I did say with her. That's what
you say I said.
And what I might have meant by that is, [...]
It depends upon what the meaning of the word is means.
I didn't -- I don't know that I was really paying that
much attention to him.
I am not even sure that [...]
I don't know -- I didn't pay attention [...]
And his memory of these events, I think, would be better than mine [...]
I don't have independent memory of that, [...]
I would be inclined to trust his memory over mine, [...]
I do not remember exactly [...]
I don't think I know him.
All I can tell you, sir, is I certainly don't remember him saying that.
And I could have just forgotten it.
But I don't remember him ever saying that.
No. I don't remember him saying that.
I remember that -- I don't remember any -- [...]
I'm sorry. I just don't remember that.
QUESTION: That is something that one would be likely to remember, don't
you think, Mr. President? CLINTON: I think I would, and I'd be
happy to share it with you if I did.
I only had one encounter with Ms. Lewinsky, I seem to remember, [...]
I don't remember the other thing you mentioned.
I just -- I might well remember it if he had said it.
Maybe he said it and I've forgotten it.
But I don't -- I can't tell you that I remember that.
I was trying to remember [...]
And I thought that Bruce Lindsey was the first person and that's how I
was trying to remember that.
Several of my answers are somewhat jumbled.
I don't think so.
[...] I was trying to struggle with who -- at where I had heard this.
But they knew a lot more than I did.
I did the best I could.
I was struggling to remember them.
So I didn't have perfect memory of all these events [...]
I honestly tried to remember when [...]
QUESTION: If Vernon Jordan has told us that you have an extraordinary
memory, one of the greatest memories he has ever seen in a politician,
would that be something you would care to dispute? CLINTON: No. I
do have a good memory.
I have been shocked and so have members of my family and friends
of mine at how many things that I have forgotten in the last
six years [...]
I'm amazed -- there are lots of times when I literally can't remember
last week.
If you ask me a lot of questions like that, my memory is not
what it was when I came here because my life is so crowded.
[...] I believe this answer reflects I was trying to remember [...]
I have a memory of that. Or he -- seems like he said that [...]
I believe -- I may be wrong about this -- my impression was that at the
time [...]
It's quite -- this is sort of a jumbled answer.
It's quite possible that I had gotten mixed up [...]
I was doing my best to remember.
All I can tell you is I didn't remember all the details of all this.
I didn't remember what -- when Vernon talked to me [...]
[...] I didn't remember all those details.
So I don't necessarily remember all the details [...]
And I think I may have been confused in my memory [...]
But there were a lot of other things going on, and I don't necessarily
remember it all.
[...] I'm just trying to explain that I don't have the memory
that you assume that I should about some of these things.
I wish Mr. Ruff were answering this question instead of
me. His memory would be better.
I've tried to remember [...]
I don't recall whether I talked to her on the phone before she came
in to visit, but I may well have.
I'm not denying that I did. I just don't recall that.
Well, I don't remember all that.
I don't remember that.
I don't remember whether it happened on that very day.
I don't know that I said that.
I don't remember what I said, and I don't remember to whom I said it.
I think maybe -- you know -- I don't know.
QUESTION: You don't recall [...?] CLINTON: No, sir.
No, sir. I don't recall that.
[...] I don't recall that I gave orders to fire anybody, [...]
I don't remember that, first of all.
And I remember -- as I usually do when I'm mad, I -- after a while, I
wasn't so mad about it.
But I don't remember the whole sequence of events [...]
[...] whatever I said, I don't recall, [...]
I certainly have no memory of doing that.
I have no memory of saying anything to anybody [...]
I don't remember anything I said to him in that regard.
I have no recollection of that whatever.
And the only thing I -- what happened in the couple of days
after what you did was revealed is a blizzard to me.
But I do not remember the specific meeting about which you
asked or the specific comments to which you referred.
I'd have no way to remember, no.
And I do not remember what I said to John Podesta.
Look, I'm not trying to be evasive here.
[...] the next three days are just a blur to me.
I don't remember to whom I talked, when I talked to them
or what I said.
I honestly don't remember -- no. I'm not saying that anybody
who had a contrary memory is wrong. I do not remember.
You will have to ask them what they thought I was saying.
It might have been.
That is not my recollection.
My recollection is that I did not have sexual relations with
Ms. Lewinsky.
At some point, sir, I believe I talked to Erskine Bowles [...]
I do not know what the date was.
I don't know. I don't know when the date was.
I'm not in a position to deny it. I won't deny it. I'm sure
that they're both truthful men. I don't know when the date was.
And I think that that's my recollection.
My recollection is that --slightly different from that.
Now, that's my entire memory of this.
I don't have any memory of that whatever.
QUESTION: Do you recall making that conversation [...?] CLINTON: No,
sir, I don't. But it would -- it -- it would -- it is quite
possible that that happened [...]
[...] and I was struggling to try to remember [...]
I don't have any memory of it, but I certainly wouldn't dispute that I
might have said that.
I don't remember.
I don't remember exactly what I told her that night.
I don't remember that.
I do not recall saying anything like that [...]
[...] but I have no specific memory of that conversation.
I might well have said that.
Well, again, I don't recall, and I don't recall whether I might
have done something like that, [...]
And this thing -- and I searched my own memory.
This is -- you're dealing with, in some ways, the most mysterious area
of human life.
I'm not sure that I do remember that.
I did talk to her that day?
I'm trying to remember when the last time I talked to her was.
I may have talked to her, but I don't remember the specific
conversation.
My impression, my belief was that she gave me that book for
Christmas. Maybe that's not right.
But, anyway, maybe I didn't get it until January.
I don't remember her asking me that.
No, I don't remember that at all.
Oh, no, sir. I don't remember that. Maybe somebody -- maybe she
did. But I only remember -- well, I don't remember that. That's all I
can tell you. I don't remember that.
I have no recollection of that whatever.
No, sir. I'm telling you, I want to say I don't recall -- I
don't have any memory of this as I sit here today.
And I don't have any recollection of the specific thing you are
saying to me.
[...] I do not recall a conversation.
QUESTION Do you remember the note that it came with, Mr.
President? CLINTON No, sir, I don't.
I'm not saying I didn't. I have no recollection of that.
So -- but, it could have happened. I wouldn't say it didn't. I
just don't remember it [...]
[...] I asked her to try to quickly refresh my memory.
Well, I don't recall whether I did or not, [...]
So, I think there was -- I'm not entirely sure what I meant by
that [...]
And I think that's what I meant.
[...] and I'm sorry to say for reasons I don't entirely remember [...]
[...] her memory and mine may be somewhat different. I do not
know whether I was asking her about a particular time [...]
I do not know what I meant.
I'm not sure of that.
I don't remember whether Betty was there or not, [...]
That would be my guess. I don't know.
[...] I told you, the only thing I remember is when
all this stuff blew up, I was trying to figure out what the facts were.
I was trying to remember.
I was trying to remember every time I had seen Ms. Lewinsky.
There was a time -- it seems like there was one or two things where
she said, well, remember this, that or the other thing, which did
reflect my recollection.
I remember having this one time. I was, I was -- I don't
know that I did.
I do not remember how many times I talked to Betty Currie or
when, I don't.
I can't possibly remember that.
And if her memory was different from mine, it was fine,
just go in there and tell them what she thought.
QUESTION What time of day, sir? CLINTON I have no idea.
I don't remember.
MR. KENDALL: I think the witness is confused on dates. That's all.
That's what -- I didn't think it was the night of the 17th.
Can we have a break and I could get straightened out?
Yes, and it bothered me, too, that I couldn't remember the answers.
It bothered me that I couldn't -- as Mr. Wisenberg pointed out,
it bothered me that I couldn't remember all the answers.
But if you give it to me, and I look at it and remember that she
gave it to me, I'll be happy to produce it.
I don't remember that she gave it to me.
I have no earthly idea.
I have the impression -- it's kind of a vague memory, [...]
Now, I'm not sure of that.
I don't know that I've seen it, [...]
I'm not so sure that I didn't ask Don Beyer, [...]
I knew I had seen her before and I didn't remember her name.
QUESTION Do you recall that you sent Nancy Hernreich for her
telephone number? CLINTON No, I don't.
QUESTION Do you recall, having received her telephone number,
call her that night? CLINTON No, sir, I don't.
QUESTION Do you recall inviting her to meet with you at your
hotel that night? CLINTON No, sir, I do not.
I won't deny that I called her. I don't know whether I did or not.
I don't recall. I may well have done it and I don't know why I
did it.
I don't remember talking to her.
I have some vague memory of that. That's it.
Well, I don't know if I would -- maybe that's what she said I
should have. I don't remember.
But I have no recollection, sir, of asking her to come to
my room. I -- and I -- I'm sorry, I don't. I can't -- I won't
deny calling her. I don't know if I did call her. I don't know
if she tried to call me first. I don't know anything about that.
I didn't -- I didn't remember that she's written us as much as
she had [...]
Well, yes. I just didn't want to, I didn't want to -- yes. And I
didn't -- I made the -- I actually, I think, made the call, or at least
I supported the call.
I don't remember giving, her giving me this tie.
If she did, I, I, I, I don't remember it, [...]
Just reading all these comments by clinton-worshipping sociopaths and fellow-traveling utter fools reminds me once again why the Left should never be allowed in control of this country, it's laws or it's courts.
Hell, they shouldn't even be allowed out on the public road in cars, or wandering around the house with sharp pencils. They're a complete menace to society!
No, you weren't too harsh. Wonder how many books the DNC bought to make clintoon look good on the ratings?
Now that was good.
It sounds like most of these folks are aging hippies from the Connecticut suburbs. Probably the same sort who used to come in to visit those nightclubs with the strobe lights. Same as the folks who turned up at Woodstock.
I predicted that the book would do well. More than a million will buy it, for sure, although I doubt that 1 out of 10 of them will manage to get through it. They can put it on the coffee table, get out a weed, look at it and sigh for the good old days.
What, no quote from Greg Packer?
I wonder which definition they're using here...
This entire article reads like a book review...rather than the book reviews themselves...
Gennifer gives it two t*ts up while Monica gives it both knees down...
"Bill Clinton is a rock star"
"He is our cultural icon and we miss him now more than ever, given everything that's going on in the world." (only he can save us??)
"I want to thank him for eight fun years where he didn't insult my intelligence or rule by fear like our current president," - (anyone who understands the Clinton administration MO, knows this to be written and inserted by one of them, as they did nothing but insult intelligence and rule by fear).
...clutching a Barnes & Noble bag like a prized possession.
(I clutch toilet paper like a prized possession too...
"I love the man. He was a great president. Fabulous,"
"He's wonderful, and his wife and their daughter Chelsea. He had a problem with his reputation, but who doesn't? Nobody's perfect." (typical liberal legacy deflection)
"When he was in office, the country was prosperous, people had jobs, the budget was balanced and we weren't at war. He gave a lot of people hope." better read as "the Clinton's were prosperous, illegal immigrants took the jobs of needy Americans and had to pay no taxes, the budget was ignored and Kosovo never happened...
"I think he was a good president I think he could have been one of the best presidents except for the scandals." (more typical liberal legacy deflection)
...black-owned stores such as Hue-Man (was this color thing necessary, anyone else catch this?)
"Clinton was a charmer, whereas Bush is just scary," (a great charmer does not a great leader make...)
"by the time I finished this book I was just about down to minimum wage," Huh?! - connecting to the little people although the folks in Ireland do not agree... - (snip) which the ex-president still visits yearly for golf and lucrative speaking engagements....
Bill Clinton loved our children more than we did. He loved them so much he even tried to have sex with them....
"Clinton was a charmer, whereas Bush is just scary," said Pat Huxtable, a psychotherapist thumbing through a copy of "My Life"
My sentiments exactly. That people in this country can really be that stupid is what is scary!
"A fool and his money..." and there aren't any bigger fools around than Democrats.
Bet they were Dem party hacks, staffers, and autograph seekers. Wonder how many were paid, or were re-imbursed for buying the book?
I liked the comment from one idiot - "he did not insult my intelligence" (what intelligence?) and another one "he did not rule by fear as the current one" (Dud!)
