I remember when the Klintoon impeachment proceedings were on TV. I have a friend who is so anti-klinton, mad dog rabid that he makes me (no novice in the klintoon-hating department) look downright tolerant by comparison.

Well, he calls us all up and invites us over to watch. We were drinking a beer and having snacks, just like we were all together watching a football game. I'll never forget it. It was a little less exciting than a football game, but knowing that the former Rapist-in-chief has to wear the title of impeached made it more satisfying than any football game I've seen to date.

What a great day it was. I'll never forget the gathering in the Rose Garden where algore swore his allegiance. A day that will live infamy.

We've never had a president convicted in an impeachment trial, so we don't have a standard for that. President Nixon resigned (which Clinton should have done) rather than put the country through an impeachment trial. The honorific was never dropped for him, so I can't see it being done to Clinton.

Yep. That was the day Al Gore threw away his chance to be elected president.

Thanks. Many of us have been giving thought to what was going on 60 years ago today. Thanks for the reminder about what was going on 12 years ago today as well.

Time flies, doesn't it?

Great billboard for Wolfie, BTW.

You done good! Impeachment is forever. You can be proud that in America's hour of need, you answered the call to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

And a most joyous Impeachment Day to you too.

While there were some heroes in the House, never forget that the Senate unanimously voted to commit treason.

Most are still there today.

With wife and kids we took the train to DC to be there that day. We were walking up the hill from Union Station when the votes were cast. Happy Day!

Later that day we walked through the Federal Triangle to the White House where we saw you in vociferous argument with some Chinese over the wholesale theft of our missile and nuke warhead secrets that occurred under the auspices of China's man Clinton.

Your face was livid red with emotion, we all the world were then in the time of great denial, it took great courage to stand and speak truth to general infamy and vile arrogant mockery.

It was a beautiful day, the sky was blue, the air was crisp. Gollum-like Lanny Davis was seen sulking through the back corriders of the Capitol.

Congratulations! It was six years ago today the House of Representatives impeached President William Jefferson Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice.

Those brave representatives survived an all-out war of political brinksmanship which included public threats of retaliation and private threats to bring down the government if Clinton was impeached.

James Carville threatened Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr with "kneecapping;" Alec Baldwin called for the murder of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde; George Stephanopoulos passed along the threat to employ the "Ellen Romesch defense"--a public blackmailing of Congress; Hillary Clinton said on the Today Show that those plotting against her husband "would have alot to answer for" when this was done; Paula Jones was called "trailer trash" and worse for simply seeking justice and an apology; Linda Tripp had her reputation destroyed by a conspiracy of Clinton administration officials and media operatives. Even Monica Lewinsky feared for her life and kept the infamous blue dress stained with presidue for insurance.

BUMP!

But the MSM never never makes him wear that title. If we didn't already know he was impeached, we sure wouldn't get it from the press. They just totally ignore it. It should be the # 1 story today along with videos of that shameful performance from the Rat senators on the WH lawn honoring a man for lying, cheating on his wife with a child and rape and too many other crimes too numerous to mention.
