Bill Clinton: We Did Nothing Wrong
Despite his impeachment, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater and the other problems that have beset Bill Clintons political career, the former president still maintains he did nothing wrong.
During a wide-ranging interview with David Remnick of The New Yorker magazine excerpted earlier on NewsMax.com Clinton started to talk about Whitewater, about Kenneth Starr, about how allowing the appointment of a special prosecutor had been the worst decision of his presidency, Remnick writes.
He talked about old enemies in Arkansas, about the Resolution Trust Corporation, about Gennifer Flowers, about Susan Schmidt of the Washington Post. Despite Clintons claims he is not looking back, you could see just how deeply he still feels the attacks of the late 90s, Remnick disclosed. He noted Clintons anger is palpable as his carotid artery seemed to inflate like a jammed garden hose as these topics were discussed.
But when asked if he thought it would be unbearable to go through all of it again if Hillary ran for president in 2008, Clinton replied: I dont care, because we know we did nothing wrong.
Surprisingly some of Clintons closest supporters think he has more to blame than the so-called Clinton haters.
Remnick quoted one of Clintons closest aides, former Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, regarding Clintons state of denial:
The method he uses to live with himself is to make a clear and precise argument that this was something that others had done to him and not that he had done to himself.
Because of his brainpower, he can create a logic for anything.
But deep down he would be such a good person if he could just accept the fact that he screwed up and made mistakes, and move on.
You're right. What really gets me (in regards to the economy) is that too many people don't realize that change doesn't happen overnight. Ill informed folks think that as soon as a Pres. takes office, he deserves the credit or the blame on his first day! But then, if the Pres. is Dubya, he gets NO credit for a good economy because Dems despise tax cuts.
Perhaps a classic description of the narcissistic personality.
BTTT
Yeah, well, you did nothing right either. As a matter of fact, you did nothing at all. I bet if GWB had gotten as close to killing UBL as Clinton did, UBL would be pushing up daisies for sure.
Ross Perot!!!!!
Emotion, words, outward appearance is why women make bad voters. Even if a woman had big breast would not carry the male vote. It would get a few but not enough to win an election.
What is so crazy is that with a straight face, he pointed that finger and said Bush had 7 monthes to get him, and he, Clinton, only had 8 years. Surely to goodness, people see the idiocy in that statement.
And don't forget cigarettes.
There........fixed it.
Stu!
I used to be jealous cuz you have a sweet-natured, intelligent, sexy hottie for a wife.
Now it's my turn (although she ain't my wife.....)
(....yet.....)
:^)
Well you simply MUST give details. :)
Utterly gorgeous, a perfect 10 -- the sort of beauty that, as I am walking with her, other men literally stop and stare at her. Long, straight very dark brown hair to her waist. Slender. Tall. Sweet as molassas. Girl scout mom. Cooks/bakes for me. Sexy as a hot biscuit comin' out of an oven. Works a Spiritual program. AWESOME lady.
I am truly blessed to know her.
And I am afraid that is what is going to happen again in '08. And there is so much more at stake now than there was then. Our very survival.
That's just awesome..............congrats!!!! :)
Of course, I'll have to meet her and officially 'approve' of her for ya.
You're right, it reminds me of that final scene during the court marshall, I almost expected to see Clinton reaching into his pocket and pulling out some little balls to fondle.
Of course! :^) When do we Freeper-types meet next?
You'll get a chance to see the New Me, too: Down 85 lbs, muscled out, dressing for success, etc... :^)
Clinton sounds like he's the Borg - with all this WE!
ON another note...Did anyone notice how his pant legs crept higher and higher during that interview with Chris Wallace, yesterday?
Most men wearing suits usually don't show any leg; they were trouser socks and behave accordingly.
Clinton's body language showed a man out of control and he can't handle being on the defensive.
Grow up Billy Boy; Welcome to the REAL world.
