WRONG!!!!!

Clinton’s legacy as a lying, cheating, perjuring, subborning of perjury, rapist-in-chief is secure and everylasting!

[Theodore R.]

He has had so many passes from Democrats (voters and Congress) and Republicans (Trent Lott; Orrin Hatch, Arlen Specter of Scottish law, et al) over the years that he must have thought, like I did, that he would forever be the popular icon of the American people. Then he came up against, of all groups, the socialists of South Carolina, the first state to secede in December 1860.

[Theodore R.]

Still though one must admit that the “people’s Bill” still believes in HIMSELF even if some of the sheeple finally see there are no clothes there.

It’s not that HRC lost SC, but the margin of defeat. Like that of Reagan over Connally in the 1980 GOP primary in the Palmetto State. It finished off Connally.

And don’t forget giving all sorts of missile guidance technology to China, e.g. to attack satellites.

[Jim Noble]

The "nice boy, Obama. We're proud of you. Now move to the back of the bus" approach didn't work.

Having the Clinton house nigg**s jump on Obama hasn't worked so far.

Secret Service better be on their toes. Anyone who knows the Clintons knows what's next.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Who says BJ doesn't have a legacy?

"Impeached, rapist, pot-smoking, coke-sniffing, treasonous, liar" - what else can be added?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Red Chinese have their own name for him. They call him “Buddy.”

[Porterville]

The third impeachment of bill clinton:
1. 1998
2. 2000 with the loss of phat-boy gore.
3. 2008 with the laming of the shrew. dems don’t even want him.

[TexasNative2000]

Should Clinton win the nomination by marginalizing Obama as a black candidate, she may well end up in the White House.

Not is she doesn't get 80% of the black vote. The dislike for the Clintons has become personal with blacks. If she's the nominee, Dems will have a hard time getting 50% of the black vote.

[madmominct]

LOL - I love it — and perfectly true....his legacy is completely safe, and I think at least some on the left are beginning to recognize what we have known all along.

[kalee]

Bill Clinton was once seen as a big asset for his wife’s campaign, especially among Democrats; now he’s seen as the south end of a north bound donkey. ;)

[BallyBill]

Maybe Soros and his cronies should spend their money rebuilding BJ's legacy rather than trying to poison GW's legacy.

Of course, Soros could end up in line at a soup kitchen with what that would cost.

[sirchtruth]

By injecting himself into the Democratic primary campaign with a series of inflammatory and negative statements, Bill Clinton may have helped his wife's presidential hopes in the long term but at the cost of his reputation with a group of voters that have long been one of his strongest bases of political support.

The fact this woman and man have even the slightest chance to be voted in as Potus and Copotus, shows the absolute degradation of this country's morale compass.

For the life of me I can't understand how he's helped her in the long run?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

By injecting himself

This is news?

Same problem, only the victim names have changed...

[Ron in Acreage]

mega dittos.

The sleaziness of the Clintons make my skin crawl.
Their ability to look us in the eye and lie to our faces time after time is astonishing. Yet the MSM marvel at it with glee and giddiness.

Where’s the barf bag?

[csmusaret]

Billys legacy ran down the front of Monicas dress.

[Ron in Acreage]

After watching the MTP round table w/Russert, it looks like the Clinton loving sycofants are finally turning on them and running into Obamas arms.

[DaveMSmith]

This really cracks me up.

As if the MSM had NO IDEA the Clintons operated this way all their political lives with anyone that stood in their way. Nothing has changed except now Bill seems to have thrown an entire voting block under the bus. They beat it out of SC last night faster than a pimp and his cheap whore after rolling some drunken John. The John (MSM/Dems) wake up today wondering what happened.

[Chode]

OHhhh WOe is me...
why's everybody always pickin on ME???
