There is one image in my mind that is seared, seared there permanently.
It was impeachment time, I think it was December of 1998 or thereabouts. Impeachment was very much on the front burner and in an effort to deflect attention, clinton lobbed a few cruise missiles here and there.
I shall *never* forget (did I mention it was seared in my brain?) when timmy russert came on to discuss this latest development. Timmy was positively gleeful that clinton had thrown a few bombs around and that the impeachment process had been at least temporarily derailed. I think timmy thought that the derailment had at least a chance of being made permanent hence his glee and s**t-eating grin.
That brief timmy appearance would make for some great TV moments now - the same aholes that are moaning about what GWB has done (which has indeed made us safer) were literally having orgasms when clinton was lobbing a few cruise missiles around which did not make us safer but only made up for the oval office BJ scandal.
As I mentioned, that event is seared, seared in my brain.
It's off the thread's topic, but I agree with you 100%. I always, always, always believed, and always will, that Klintonista launched the cruise missiles to divert attention away from his pee pee.
It is the cold, hard, harsh, unvarnished truth.
It led me to theorize at the philosophical level how many people use diversionary tactics to draw attention away from something they are trying to hide. I wonder how many times in history political leaders have used diversionary tactics in an effort to run and hide from their own personal sins which they are trying to cover up.
Clintoon. Surreal. Hopefully the cruise missiles hit some sand or dirt. I would not want to see someone killed because Klintoon was trying to divert embarassing attention away from his uncontrollable, roving weenie.
I also wondered whether Hilarity kicked his butt and straightened him out! I bet she did and made him stay in the doghouse for awhile. That argument would have been awesome to behold. Hilarity knows why Bill launched the missiles, she knows ....You can run, but you can't hide from that chick. I bet William has been a good boy ever since.
No soup for Bill! Yikes. We are all going to have to stand before the Big Man (God) at the end of our lives. makes you think. You only get one shot at life, no "restarts." Most people do not have the option of launching a missile strike to cover up their sins either.
You think maybe it is seared in your brain?
LOL
I wish Bush would use the "seared" line in tomorrow's debate.
I think I've heard that somewhere before. lol
