Clinton: Secrecy Sparked Shooting Reaction

23 minutes ago

Former President Clinton said Sunday the Bush administration's "enormous penchant for secrecy" sparked the strong reaction to Vice President Dick Cheney's shooting mishap.

"We have people quite often who are shot in quail incidents, so I didn't feel the need to get into the pile-on," Clinton said Sunday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Cheney has been criticized for not disclosing the shooting on Feb. 11 of Texas lawyer Harry Whittington until the following day.

"I think the White House should have said something about it sooner," Clinton said. "I think that it's gotten a little more light than it would have because the administration has an enormous penchant for secrecy for not telling anybody anything about anything."

The shooting had little impact on public opinion about the job done by Cheney, which was already low. A Time magazine poll found 29 percent of those surveyed approve of the job done by Cheney, close to the 32 percent approval for the vice president in November.

With all the leaks, why would anyone be surprised? Obviously a few people can't be trusted.

Sometimes I think Bill Clinton was put on this earth purely to annoy me with the breadth and depth of his sociopathic chutzpah.

I have to wonder about the "secrecy" surrounding his wife's SUV running down the Police Officer in October 2001. Isn't it amazing there has been no public mentions or announcements of this in 4 years?

"I think the White House should have said something about it sooner," Clinton said.
"I did not have sexual relations...with Monica Lewinsky," Clinton said.

"the administration has an enormous penchant for secrecy for not telling anybody anything about anything"

Once one is aware that another has a closed mind (Hillary!, LSM, Reid) there isn't much point in discussion is there?

"I think that it's gotten a little more light than it would have because the administration has an enormous penchant for secrecy for not telling anybody anything about anything."

Well,it`s not like they wait for pending indictment by a federal grand jury for perjury before they admitted anything to the public.

The accident was a personal issue, just like having oral sex with a young woman in a room just outside the oval office. No need to make it public, its was a "private matter". Nobody's business except for those involved, as all the "Rats" said 8 years ago.

"I did not have sex with that woman"...

"I did not shoot that lawyer"...

Two men, one told the truth. Line two is what Clinton would have said. Line one is what Clinton did say.

Clinton told us, "I did not have sex with that woman". I'm constantly amazed at the monumental hypocrisy.

The Bush administration's "enormous penchant for secrecy" pales in comparison to the Clintonista regime's "semen stained, humongous penchant for secrecy."

Shuddup Slick!
