I would imaging that Robert Packwood would fit in there someplace as well. Oh, and Newt, and Bob Livingston, too.

With the Democrats leaping to and fro at the command of a well-known homosexual activist (David Brock) to lie about Rush Limbaugh, makes me wonder why they got so excited about Larry Craig and Mark Foley.

It should be pretty obvious to everyone by now that NONE of the Democrats in the House or Senate can ever be presumed to be heterosexual.

Good points. How could I have forgotten them?

bump for history. I haven’t seen such a clear recitation of the Clinton Crimes in years.

A very good vanity post.

The hypocrisy of self-proclaimed “feminist organizations” regarding Clinton’s sexual predations is outrageous.

Excellent read and a pertinent take on the Thomas Hearings. If you have not done so, you may also want to read Taranto's "Opinion Journal" for a different take on the hearings.

One pertaining to "Liberal Guilt".

Count me in as one who believed Anita Hill and voted for Clinton in ‘92 to ‘save the Supreme Court’. She did do me a great service later when she gave Bill Clinton a pass by saying 'well, you really have to consider his voting record’. I knew then that the Feminists weren’t really for advancing women’s causes, they were simply using women to further far left wing causes. I will never vote ‘D’ again.

Polls taken during the course of the hearings of Americans who actually watched the proceedings on television and drew their conclusions from what they saw, revealed that Americans believed Clarence Thomas and did not believe Anita Hill. Polls taken months and years later, after the mainstream media had its relentless way with the public, reflected precisely the opposite sentiment.

My wife watched the entire sordid mess live on TV. When I'd watch the evening news with her and they "reported" on what had happened, she couldn't believe it. There was almost no correlation between what she had seen and what the reporters said. For one thing, they uniformly ignored that EVERY other woman who had worked with or for him testified indignantly that he had always behaved as a perfect gentleman.

Guys who are into this type of power trip do it over and over. It's a pattern of behavior. Thomas didn't do it.

At least he wasn't accused of child molestation. I guess that's the next big bomb that somebody will drop.

Packwood had to be taken out by the Clintonistas because he was Senate Finance Chairman (and because he would be replaced by a Dem if driven out, which he was). While his behavior was poor, what he did was nothing compared to anything an average rodent has done.

True, but, they ALL can be presumed to be self-loathing.

Maybe not Barney Frank ~ Ann Lewis may be, but Barney seems to like it.

it became apparent that Slick would slither around impeachment

He didn't. He was impeached. Only the second President to be impeached. The other was Johnson, no not LBJ, but Andrew Johnson, who became President after Lincoln was killed. Both Slick and Johnson were impeached. Neither was convicted in the Senate nor removed from office.

But I think the 1868 Senate at least *looked at* the evidence, unlike Clinton's "jury". Johnson's "crimes" were mostly political, involving reconstruction policy and which branch of government should set it, and thus not really crimes at all, but policy disagreements. Clinton's crimes were personal and quite criminal indeed.

What an excellent article! Justice Thomas would be regarded as one of the great American heroes of our time in any rational society which reveres temperance, hard work, good humor, perseverance, and patriotic love of one's country. Unfortunately, America has basically lost its marbles over the last forty years or so, and Justice Thomas must, therefore, be reviled in many quarters because he is an African-American who is a conservative and who has refused to be conscripted into the cause of victimhood for the purpose of shamming and condemning the country in which he has flourished by displaying those traits which are no longer regarded as virtues.

In a sane and rational society which sought to preserve itself for future generations, Justice Thomas would be held out as the consummate example to follow, especially for those from humble beginnings who must use self-reliance to advance one's lot in life. However, in our children's history books, paid for with our tax dollars, Justice Thomas must not be praised nor cited as a positive role model, for to do so would not be politically correct, i.e. it would not advance the liberal agenda. In our demented society it is considered politically correct to malign and smear such a man (and even openly wish for his early death), especially if he happens to be Black, because there is no greater threat to those who demean our county than a man like Clarence Thomas who has risen from the depths of poverty to embrace, credit and profess his admiration for the nation which made it possible to do so.

The defenders and supporters of Anita Hill were the first to slander the victims of Bill Clinton, showing once and for all that there is no grand allegiance to any moral principal whatsoever from these people. The only motive in play is the attainment and expansion of power, and every person standing in the way must be destroyed. Have they gone too far? Has the absurdity of their actions become so obvious that it is now evident to every person with an IQ above a lollipop? Apparently not, because the last couple of months have shown us that even more brazen attacks are underway. It seems the Clinton-MoveOn-MSM machine feels itself to be in utter control and free to set whatever agenda within whatever parameters it chooses.

If this machine succeeds in putting Hillary in power, the next four years will be one helluva ride. I can envision that little blonde haired Alice frantically searching for her looking glass in order to climb back through into Wonderland, just to escape a place which has gone more insane than Louis Carroll could have ever imagined.

Being a liberal requires some very interesting mental contortions. Of course, when they attacked Judge Thomas, they had no idea that Bill and Monica were coming. Standing by Clinton in light of the accusations of Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick and Kathleen Willey looks pretty silly when they were ready to crucify Judge Thomas solely on the word of Anita Hill. Or maybe womens’ rights is just an empty vessel they attach their leftist agenda to, like environmentalism. To them, of course, this all makes perfect sense.

Like the vines of Angkor Wat, time has shrouded Clinton's crimes.

One disagreement on an otherwise interesting article. Time did not shroud them, they were deliberately shrouded by the MSM, the Clintons, and spun by Carville, Stephanopolis, et al.

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by documented cyclical changes in the earth’s climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV’s.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can’t teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make “The Passion of the Christ” for financial gain only.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn’t worked anywhere it’s been tried is because the right people haven’t been in charge.

22. You have to believe that it’s okay to give Federal workers the day off on Christmas Day but it’s not okay to say “Merry Christmas.”
