I think he's doing a fine job as IMPEACHED and DISGRACED ex president, though.
(The fat cats of Vegas concerned about the poor they're robbing at the slots! That's a hoot!)
Not this same sorry line again.
He's also broken ground by being the first president in history to trash his successor. Jimmeh Carter never opened his big mouth to critize President Bush until the Slickster started it.
Precisely. As long as there have been US presidents, there has been a custom of stepping down quietly and not commenting on your successor. It's a classy tradition... which, I guess, explains why Clinton was the one to break with it.
Paging Dr. Freud. Dr. Sigmund Freud, please pick up the white courtesy phone. (And bring your own cigar. Trust us on that.)
Read the article. I didn't see where Clinton said Bush was "stealing from the poor to give to the rich". He may have implied it but apparently he is not stupid enough to actually say it. So the title of the article is wrong and, as usual, the editors screw up. I kind of wish he had because that would be a good opening for our side to explain taxation again and who pays for things.
Hey Bill! You can make a difference, DONATE the money from your book deal to charity!
So, just how much extra is Slick Willie volunteering to give the IRS over and above his tax cut? It might be worth the cost of his book and the wait in line just to ask him that.
As our great VP would say.....Buck Fill..... JJ
How? If they're poor they ain't got nuthin' to take!
In any case, it is about time the rich (aka "the productive," "the guy who signs the paychecks" etc.) got a little of his own back.
Say, isn't it a great thing Bush gushed all over The Nameless One at its portrait-unveiling?
Kissing up to the dims and appealing to their better natures always works really well for him.

I wish someone would point out the ways in which welfare is actually harmful to welfare recipients (few things will destroy a person's character as surely as learning to expect and rely upon something which is neither earned nor deserved).
Yeah, LBJ's Great Society & War On Poverty really helped a lot, didn't they?
That's the Democrat's way........spend trillions of dollars & make the problem worse.
Donations for the "poor" through charitable organizations are up 70% over what they were during the Clinton administration. You let people handle their own money and they will help the poor, but the Dems would have you think that the evil Republicans are just a bunch of greedy, lying, gun toten, igits.
You are right, it is the standard Rat line. Nothing has changed. Clinton isn't the first one to say this, and won't be the last.
I don't have any quotes or links handy, but Carter regularly commented on Reagan, Bush41, and Bush 43.
Bush 41 to this day has never commented on Clinton, and reporters have regularly tried to get him too. Especially while Clinton was in office. He refused over and over to make any comment at all.
After four decades of this tripe it is really getting old.
It's OUR money, NOT the governments money.
As for National security, what is Dubya' supposed to do?
Look under the oval office desk for enlightenment as to how HE should handle national security Bill?
Then offer the option of spending trillions more to fix the problem which Trillions spent has created.
