Bill Clinton addressed a crowd in Minneapolis, Minnesota at a fundraiser for his wife's campaign on Tuesday.
Clinton's 50-minute speech, which started about an hour behind schedule, was derailed briefly by several hecklers in the audience who shouted that the 2001 terrorist attacks were a fraud. Rather than ignoring them, Clinton seemed to relish a direct confrontation.
"A fraud? No, it wasn't a fraud," Clinton said, as the crowd cheered him on. "I'll be glad to talk to you if you shut up and let me talk."
When another heckler shouted that the attacks were an "inside job," Clinton took even greater umbrage.
"An inside job? How dare you. How dare you. It was not an inside job," Clinton said. "You guys have got to be careful, you're going to give Minnesota a bad reputation."
Now that’s pretty funny, but I would have made one addition to set the bar and give the list clarity.
On a general stupidity scale, the ranking is something like this (selectively stupid to stupid as a box of rocks stupid, reading down):
Monkeys on crack
Gorons
True Rats
Huffenpuffers
Code Pinkos
Moveon
DUmmies
Truthers
Yup.
Too bad he wasn’t this brave before the attacks.
if the philandering elvis from Arkansas had defended the nation he swore to defend as vigorously as he defends the illusion of his “legacy,” — in other words, if he cared for the legacy of liberty as much as for the legacy of bill clinton — I rather think the new millenium might have gotten off to a much better start for the world at large.
Sampling from the DUmpster once in a blue moon over the years, it's pretty clear that there's a lot of self-medication going on with that crowd.
When booze comes up here on FR, it's usually either a recovery thread, or a celebratory homage to various spirits.
Rarely do we see the glum laments like "Al Gore lost, my doc cut off my Xanax, and the liquor stores are closed", a rather frequent expression from the DUmmies.
>>Its also sad to say, in a head-to-head contest between Clinton and Paul ... I’d lean toward Bubba. Perish the thought.

This leads to an interesting question, and I am NO Clinton fan, as a perusal of my posts since 1998 will attest.
Sure he was negligent BEFORE the 9/11 attacks, but being the showboater that he is, I wonder if he would have kicked ass and taken names AFTER 9/11, if it were possible for him to have been in office? And the dems would have been cheering him on, as well as the Republicans.
Now that’s a weird thought, isn’t it? P.S. Did I mention I am NO Clinton fan?
I am no Clinton fan either. But, Bill Clinton is more committed to his popularity than his liberalism ... thus, he’ll do conservative things to the extent that it’ll help his image. He’d have gone to war after 9-11 without a second thought (for the same reason he gave us welfare reform).

Are the Rams still in the NFL? Thought they got moved to Europe.
Well, St. Louis. Is that the same thing?
...and I’ve never encountered one that didn’t also say that Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon.
I thought he was sticking up for President Bush. Maybe I saw it differently.
Hard to say what goes through his mind.
Now THATS saying something!
Kinda pathetic, isn’t it? I’d vote for Bill Clinton over Ron Paul, and I wouldn’t even look back (though the voting act itself might look a little like the scene in Liar, Liar when Jim Carrey is wrestling with his own arm ... “The pen is BLUE! The g-ddamn pen is BLUE!!”)
Clinton’s got his problems, but Paul just might get us killed.

About like Liverpool I would guess!!!
