So Newt's extramarital affair justifies Clinton having tawdry sex with an intern less than half his age in this nation's most esteemed office?
Oh, I see.

WJC was a good speaker and politician, I'll give him that, but, he was still a lousy president. He was not a leader. Being likable and popular does not make one a good leader. Unfortunately, Bill was more concerned about being liked than respected.

...or a certain man from Abilene.

Who's this supposed to be?

...and the names of their co-dalliants are well known.

Same question.

Bill Clinton was an exceptional politician. He was and is the master of double-speak, governing by the opinion poll, and straddling the middle line. While he was doing these, he always managed to do what was best for himself as well. No politician can come close to his ability.

I don't like his politics or his wife, but he was slick.

Abe is a fantasy novel writer in his spare time.

It was Bill Clinton's humanity that made him a great president. Did that human being have flaws? Of course he did.

Bubba's flaws far outweighed his attributes. If you don't believe that just ask Gennifer Flowers Monica Lewinsky, Cristy Zercher, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Nancy Hernreich, Susan McDougal, Debra Schiff, Sherrie Densuk, Dolly Kyle Browning, Beth Coulson, Marilyn Jo Jenkins, Juanita Broaddrick, Marsha Scott, Bobbie Ann Williams, Sally Perdue , Eileen Wellstone, Sandra Allen James, and an un-named stewardess aboard Air Force One what they think of the pervert!!!!

"...or a certain man from Abilene."

He is possibly referring to rumors of an affair by Eisenhower with his British driver.

If this is the best the Dims can do to immortalize their king, the world is a better place.

How many column inches does it take to say that William Jefferson Clinton was a morally bankrupt pathological liar.

And that is on a good day.....

What is so bilious, in 2004, about a character flaw in Bill Clinton

Ah, a character flaw now, is it?

Imagine, a southern governor who, while serving as president of the United States, gave us and Wall Street the best eight years in our nation's history....

Sorry Abe, but the country was in RECESSION when Clinton left office, and WALL STREET gave up all the gains derived from the good years when the tech bubble burst. Remember the attack on Microsoft?

The economy bequeathed to Clinton by Bush 41, the spending discipline placed upon him by the 94 Republican congress (remember welfare reform?) is what created the good years, and now THOSE YEARS are being eclipsed by the present economy, despite billions of losses due the 9-11 attack and the cost of defending ourselves. This is the history that will be written.

Attempting to diminish President Bush in order to elevate the Clintoon is pathetic.

Style and organization of Abe's writing is a bundle of mixed metaphors and immaturity.

Does Mr. Abe Cesspool(sic) get paid for this scribble?
