Ex-President Bill Clinton said Monday that he had to assure world leaders that there was nothing seriously wrong with America after the Congress impeached him in 1998.
"During that time, a lot of world leaders would ask, 'What is going on? Is this serious?'" he told New York magazine.
"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that we periodically went through spasms."
Interviewed while traveling in Africa, the ex-president claimed, "Africans saw [my impeachment] for exactly what it was: an abuse of power."
"They got it here," he insisted.
The magazine noted that "seven years later, the ordeal of his impeachment still has a vibrant, ever-present life in Clinton's mind."

"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that we periodically went through spasms." That would describe Jan 20th1993-Jan 20th 2001.

I see the only elected president to ever be impeached is still in denial.

Well well Out of Africa these days. So I wonder if Niger will get an official visit?
The world surely did love this pervert.

At least finally, he admits he abused his power by attempting to fix the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit!
