Bill Clinton has been blaming someone else for all of his problems his entire life. Nothing has changed or will ever change. That's who he is.
Hillary is not qualified to be president of anything much less the United States of America. She is a bigger liar than Clinton. She is one nasty *itch who gets even with anyone who crosses her. I tried to tell anyone who would listen the first time Clinton ran for president, then the second time, and now I'm trying to tell people that Hillary is worse than "her husband". I hope someone listens this time.
After years of this crap in Arkansas, eight years in the White house, I don't want to have to put up with Hillary in the White house AGAIN!
Give Susan a break, will you? She had to write every word in crayon, double spaced.
"After years of this crap in Arkansas, eight years in the White house, I don't want to have to put up with Hillary in the White house AGAIN!"
I know Savage really gets people in a snit but tonight he's among other things, saying the same thing about her. He says if she gets in you can kiss the military goodbye. He must be on his meds cause he's just hitting them out of the park. JMO.
Saudis: Bill Clinton Tearful Over Lewinsky, Not Khobar
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/10/10/113212.shtml
Hannity said earlier not to waste [his word] money on the book for "reasons I will not not go into right now." Anyone know why?
Who else is there? James Carville?
Can't be Grunwald, heh-heh!
ROTFLOL! "simply an accident."
"Bandar had warned him to expect some "very important questions" about Khobar, but Clinton had not raised them."
McGreevey Predecessor 'Shell-Shocked' Over Freeh Snub
Former New Jersey Gov. Donald DiFrancesco said Monday that he felt "shell-shocked" after learning that his successor, James McGreevey, had nixed his appointment of former FBI Director Louis Freeh as New Jersey's homeland security director - only to give the job instead to his alleged gay lover, Golan Cipel.
"When I read about this subsequent to my leaving office, I was a little shell-shocked," DiFrancesco told radio host Sean Hannity, who first unearthed news of the Freeh snub on Friday.
"Because I was led to believe by [McGreevey] that he had someone with serious and powerful credentials to take this position."
DiFrancesco said that Freeh, a New Jersey native, had already agreed to take the sensitive post without any compensation, but Governor-elect McGreevey was reluctant to sign off on the arrangement.

"Louis Freeh was an apolitical person, someone with a great background," he told Hannity. "We needed to make a statement in New Jersey to help our people feel secure and safe."
in 2001 the New Yorker ran a story about the meeting between Klinton and the Saudis...they reported exactly the same thing that Freeh claimed in 2005. Looks like this story will get legs.
Saudi $ for Clinton
By Robert Novak
Mar 30, 2002

WASHINGTON -- Bill Clinton not only received a $750,000 speaking fee for going to Saudi Arabia in January but came back with a hefty pledge for his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., according to high-ranking Saudis.
Estimates range from less than $1 million to $20 million. A Clinton library spokesman told this column he had heard nothing about this contribution and would not tell us if he had. But Saudi sources say the pledge was made by the royal family, following a similar gift to the elder George Bush's presidential library. The Bush library lists a contribution by the family of Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi ambassador to Washington, among "gifts of $1 million and above."
A footnote: Prince Talal bin Abdul Aziz, chairman of the Arab Gulf Fund for the United Nations, attacked Clinton's visit to Saudi Arabia because of the former president's pro-Israeli views.
I haven't heard Hannity say but I did hear Ronald Kessler on Fox News today say that Freeh’s staff leaked information to enhance his (Freeh's) image. Meanwhile, FBI agents could not use bureau cars because money to buy gasoline had run out. Computers were so antiquated that charities would not accept them as donations, and they slowed the FBI’s response to the attacks of September 11.
He also wrote about how President Clinton, over CIA protests, diverted satellites from finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Don't ask me if any of this is true. I am only posting what Kessler has said and written. I don't know anything about Kessler either so I don't know how truthful any of it is.
Kessler wrote this book...
http://tinyurl.com/ctdx8
Only Ronald Kessler, an award-winning former Washington Post and Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, could have gained the unprecedented access to tell the story. Kessler interviewed fifty current CIA officers, including all the agency’s top officials, and toured areas of the CIA the media has never seen. The agency actively encouraged retired CIA officers and officials to talk with him as well. In six years as director, George J. Tenet had never appeared on TV shows and had given only a handful of print interviews, all before 9/11, but Tenet agreed to be interviewed by Kessler for this book. He spoke candidly and passionately about the events of 9/11, the war on terror, the agency’s intelligence on Iraq, and the controversies surrounding the agency.
"The fact that they had to roll Lanny Davis out to attack Freeh, gives more credence to Freeh's book."
My thoughts exactly. Didn't watch Steffie's show yesterday, but it wouldn't surprise me if he had someone on 'protecting' Bubba and/or he did it himself. Podesta was on another show earlier and they brought the Burglar out last night to set their record 'straight' on 60 Minutes when Freeh was on.
BTW - I caught the last couple of minutes of Savage tonight and I think I heard him say that Freeh was going to be on his show tomorrow. I suspect Savage will agree w what Freeh says.
Freeh was a beacon in the swamp that was the Clinton administration. Unlike that president's other appointees, Freeh performed his job fearlessly in the face of determined political opposition. He took office while the agency was reeling from its errors in the 1993 Ruby Ridge shootout and the 1994 assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. Coming off the federal bench in New York, Freeh - a former FBI agent - worked mightily to restore public confidence in the bureau. On his watch, the agency cracked both the Unabomer and Oklahoma City bombing cases. Most important: Freeh refused to be cowed by the efforts of President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno to blatantly politicize the Justice Department. He confronted Reno over her stifling of criminal probes into Clinton-Gore fundraising scandals - including what he rightly called "compelling" evidence of Vice President Al Gore's "active, sophisticated" involvement in those schemes. NY Post, May 3, 2001

Ronald Kessler, a journalist who has written several intelligence books, at least two of them about the FBI, argues that Louis Freeh should resign or be fired over the Hanssen espionage matter. Kessler faults Freeh for a number of things -- not using polygraphs to update FBI agent's security clearances, Ruby Ridge, and for the Richard Jewell and Wen Ho Lee fiascoes. He also claims that Freeh would already be gone except that the Director is very skilled at PR and self promotion. Finally, Kessler says that Freeh is disliked by rank and file FBI agents.
Kessler's book contrasts the respectful way George and Laura Bush treat Secret Service agents, military aides, and maids and butlers with the imperious, nasty way previous White House occupants Bill and Hillary Clinton treated them.

Freeh Fall
By Shawn Macomber
FrontPageMagazine.com | April 16, 2004
Nothing about the deterioration of the FBI under Clinton-era FBI Director Louis Freeh was his fault. Just ask him.
Freeh, who served as the bureau’s Director from August 1993 to June 2001, testified before the 9/11 (It’s non-partisan! We promise!) Commission on Tuesday, repeating the now familiar litany of excuses for the agency’s poor performance and morale under his leadership: Congress didn’t give us enough money; the country wasn’t on a “war footing”; our hands were tied behind our backs…. The FBI, Freeh inexplicably said, “had a very effective program with respect to counter-terrorism prior to Sept. 11.” before adding his ever-present caveat, “given the resources that we had.” Last year, in a similarly bizarre comment, Freeh described “coordination between the FBI and CIA,” before Sept. 11, as “exemplary.” I’d hate to see this guy’s definition of “terrible.” But terrible is an apt description of Freeh’s leadership, endorsed by President Bill Clinton. The two, working in tandem, hampered the work of agents working to keep America safe from attack.
Freeh has tenaciously defended his pre-9/11 tenure as FBI Director. “In the absence of all the things that were appropriately done after September 11th, when the United States declared war back on al-Qaeda, we were left with alternatives which were better than no alternatives,” Freeh said Tuesday. “And as I said in my statement, sometimes they worked.”
