Rush: The Clinton legacy is so flimsy, they had to throw fits to try to keep it from airing.
The movie clearly establishes that we are still at war with terrorists even though the dems want to create a pre 9/11 mentality.
I kept getting angry, and nearly put holes in my TV, ala the terrorist did to CLinton's image, when the attack on OBL's location was called off.
I actually don't think the Klintoonistas were even worried about their legacy.
They can debate all day long about whether/when Pak should have been notified about the missile strike on bin Laden. (Although it's not convenient for them that they (1) didn't inform the CIA that they were telling the Pakies and (2) told the Pakies in enough time for someone there to rat (read: Rat) to bin Laden.)
I think what the Klintoonistas were really concerned about was the simply visual of the Sinkmeister saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman . . . Ms. Lewinsky . . ."
That 10 seconds of tape, in the midst of all the others, said more than millions and millions of words of blather about the Klintoon administration's policy (non)decisions.
The Rats know the effect of that tape and all it evokes, deep and wide, across the fruited plain. They know that, no matter how they rail against the VRWC for going after Klintoon and no matter how they wail it was Starr's War and so on, those few words, spoken by a pathological liar, are their gravestone.
Bubba said it ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman . . . Ms. Lewinsky"). He cannot attribute it to a "misquote" or claim it was "taken out of context." He cannot claim it was not a lie or that he was not responsible for lying and the decision to lie to the America people.
There is no excuse for his conduct or his lie. Both are despicable and appear even more so over time.
And THAT, friends, is what all the hullabaloo was about.
Many people might not even catch the full implications of the fact that the CIA had men on the ground, ready to catch/kill OBL, that they thought they had a "go" and then the Klintoons got their panties in a wad.
But most people know very well what it means when the President of the United States stands up at a news conference, addresses them (ostensibly) in the eye, and speaks a bold-faced, adolescent lie.
