Six years after he became the only elected U.S. president ever to be impeached, Bill Clinton is now almost "beloved," says Newsweek's Howard Fineman.
"Whatever desk he occupies, he will always be center stage," he gushed to MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday night. "That is the way [Clinton] is."
Commenting on the ex-president's surgery this week, the Newsweek scribe added: "Everybody wishes him well. He's almost reached the beloved stage."
Writing on Newsweek's web site two days later, Fineman still sounded like the president of the Bill Clinton fan club.
"I imagine it’s tough, even for Clinton’s enemies, to hate the guy anymore," said Newsweek's top political reporter, apparently without consulting Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey or Juanita Broaddrick.
"The sense exists, perhaps grows more vivid, that Bill Clinton somehow embodies us all," he insisted.
Despite the ex-president's terrible record on terrorism, the Newsweeker suggested that President Bush might consider "turning over Middle East diplomatic portfolio to him." Clinton, said Fineman, "knows the history, indeed he has helped shape it."
Of the recent thaw between the Bush family and Mr. Clinton, he posits:
"Who knows? By 2009 the Bushes and Clintons could be together at the White House again - with Hillary as hostess."
Here it is..
"Whatever desk he occupies, he will always be center stage," he gushed
Howie’s got wood.
Any idea where the original article is?
EEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww
Did someone check this guy for kneepads and stains on his blue dress?
"Who knows? By 2009 the Bushes and Clintons could be together at the White House again - with Hillary as hostess."
Or with Jeb as host. Fineman...you're a jackass!
Hey Howard, if it weren't for his recent illness, he'd probably still be in the adolescent stage.
President Andrew Johnson was impeached.
By some coincidence, he was also a democrat.
The phrase "Democrat anti-Jesus" comes to mind for some reason
Oh! Glad you found it. Thanks. :^)
Well, now suicide doesn't seem so abhorrent.
...... whatever sink he occupies ..........
Wanna bet?
By some coincidence, he was also a democrat.
So then how could he run for Vice-President on the Republican ticket in 1864?
Actually, what he meant to say was, "Whatever desk he occupies, he will always have an intern under it".
?
Where's the mega-oceans-of-barf alert?
