Like the proverbial phoenix rising from the ashes, he is back, catapulted to the front pages, plastered all over our television screens, blanketing the airways. Last year Hillary's book was the primer for History Rewrite 101. Now we hear from the master himself, the professor of circumlocution, a man who elevated doublespeak to an art form, one who can parse language with the precision of the most highly skilled surgeon. He is smooth as silk, soft as butter, sincere as a summer breeze. Not unlike his compatriot, however, it is a pack of lies and distortions: half truths intertwined with no truths.
Certainly he did all possible to prevent terrorism and bring Osama bin Laden to justice. There simply was not enough evidence to extradite and bring criminal charges. Otherwise, Clinton would have been the first to try him anywhere in the world, perhaps the World Court at The Hague. He would have done whatever was necessary to satisfy the United Nations Human Rights Commission co-chaired by Syria and Cuba. With respect to the infamous wall that prevented the pooling of resources between FBI and CIA, it was necessary for it to reach new heights during his administration. How else to impede those pesky investigators from linking illegal Chinese campaign contributions to waivers of regulations? If there were collateral repercussions, a leader always has to set priorities.
The scandals were all trumped-up allegations by bitter, jealous, revengeful conservatives, the flames fanned by vicious right-wing talk show hosts. What about those pardons of fugitives and terrorists that were so important normal Justice Department procedures had to be short-circuited?They were all justified. Why waste taxpayer money observing inconvenient formalities?Furthermore, there was a presidential library to be funded. Susan McDougal earned her pardon by remaining silent, declining immunity, even going to jail rather than testifying truthfully. Indeed, her classic honor among thieves mentality demonstrated loyalty worthy of a pardon. If Monica Lewinsky was just about sex, this was all about payoffs.
Lying under oath, forget about it! Those involved merely personal matters. As if one could pick and choose what issues required truthful answers in a court of law. With respect to signing an agreement with the special prosecutor admitting wrongdoing at the end of his term, what better time to move on for the good of the country.
The excuses go on and on with the adoring media and most prestigious book reviewers lapping it up - all with the expectation of being in his presence, receiving a signed copy while attending some lavish party.
Perhaps the truth is that as a nation we have all been corrupted. So be it, but what about the sanctity of values and heritage of a great country?What about the lessons taught to our children and the obligation owed posterity to prevent this rewriting of history?That is the problem.That is the dilemma.
For twenty years, whenever Richard Nixon appeared in public, the media never missed an opportunity to state that this was "the disgraced former president." Now, despite actually having been impeached, Mr. Clinton is portrayed prancing with the celebrity and cachet of a movie star.As the cameras flash and the film rolls, leading newsmen jockey for position to kiss his ring. "Disgraced," "shamed," and "discredited" are words never uttered.
How could it happen that one of the most momentous events of the twentieth century, the impeachment of an American president, is becoming little more than a footnote in history? That the leader of the most corrupt, scandal-plagued administration has shed his true image and morphed into a media superstar?Hush money was paid to convicted associates.He failed to meet with the CIA chief for two years as the terrorist threat incubated.There was sexual harassment of subordinates, fines, perjury, and disbarment. An anything-goes atmosphere was created that allowed unprecedented corporate corruption to fester. He even told our youth oral sex was not sex and led by example. To say, "The economy was good" is like justifying Saddam Hussein's torture, rape, mutilation, and murder of his countrymen by rationalizing that he would occasionally feed hungry pigeons in the park.
To demonstrate the nonpartisan nature of this criticism, I am offering, in conclusion, sound advice to both Clintons on how to maximize their legacy: JUST GO AWAY! Out of sight, out of mind. It is only when they are shoved down our throats, selling their distorted version of events, that a rebuttal is necessary. If they disappear, time plus friends in the media, academia, and professional spinmeisters will do the reconstruction job for them. They can rewrite history without a shot being fired, so to speak. Those on the right will not know what hit them. The Clintons' goal will attain fruition.Unfortunately, they do not want to leave center stage. They do not want to win the war if it means conceding a single battle. They want to spit in our eye and laugh in our face one more time. All to prove they will ALWAYS prevail, no matter how much they shame the office and debase the country.
The virus is still out there. Truth is the antidote.

To borrow from Shaw, reinstalling the clintons in the White House has one advantage over suicide: in suicide you take it out on yourself; in reinstalling the clintons you also take it out on everyone else.....

"They want to spit in our eye and laugh in our face one more time. All to prove they will ALWAYS prevail, no matter how much they shame the office and debase the country."
There are many women I can think of who would make up a very impressive roster. Barbara Olson would've been the perfect spokeswoman... but 9/11 took her from our ranks.

Good Luck............ we're going to need it.
Great post as always! When will the Delete Hillary site be up and running? Have sent the address on to many.
