The extent of scandals in Bill Clinton's administration and the president's uncanny ability to escape political harm from them led one well-known congressman to compare handling the ex–commander in chief to a fight with elusive flatulence.
"Nailing Bill Clinton is like trying to nail a fart to the wall," former Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., reportedly said. "There's a lot of smell and you know it's there. You just aren't sure where to nail."
The account of the fragrant remark comes from Barr's fellow Republican, former Rep. James Rogan of California, who led impeachment proceedings against Clinton in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Nails aren’t the best way to deal with farts. Maybe he should try lighting them on fire?
Actually nailing Bill Clinton and his wife would be easy; if anyone wanted to really do it.
Just like the saying “You can't nail jello to a wall.” Sure you can - freeze it first.
“Our” side doesn't like to either strategize or get down and dirty, unlike the other side. Therefore, expect the other side to win, simple as that.
Yep. Nobody wants to do it because they're all on the take too and they know full well what would happen if they exposed the Hilbillery express. Turn about, after all, is fair play.....
I agree. I remember when all that crap was going on and nobody seemed to WANT to remove him. They just wanted to play the game.
It made me wonder just WHAT stuff the Clintons had on these ‘republicans’...
I can’t believe how many people seemed to fall into the “Clinton better than Obama” trap in 2008.
It would have been worse. Luckily, Bummer is so inept, and so good at dividing people, he’s been able to get less done than the ‘toons would have, IMO.
Exactly
...all those missing FBI files makes one wonder doesn’t it?
He can only be viewed as inept if you believe that he truly wants America to succeed. He quite obviously doesn't. Back up and look at the big picture. Everything Obama is doing is deliberate. The sad part is he's getting away with it because people keep thinking he's inept.....
Indeed! I’m surprised that we still don’t have anybody blowing the whistle on what REALLY went down after all these years.
Could be that folks in "the know" really don't favor dying by falling out of a helicopter or being decapitated by "natural causes".....
I agree and it makes one wonder where the courage and honor are among the Congress.
The democrats have fostered upon the American people 3 of the worst and probably sickest Presidents ever in recent history with Obama showing who they really are. It’s been a progression of sadness. Doing the right thing is not in these peoples agenda. Destruction is.
No I think he’s even inept at that.
I think it’s been really easy for large numbers of the American people to see that this guy’s a hard leftist with an Anti-American agenda.
He believed his own hype. All that crazy hyped crowd stuff in 2008 - he believed that, and thought he could hire obvious communists and child molesters into his admin, and that his “magic” was inpenetrable.
We were CRYING OUT for some kind of wider realization of the problem, like the Tea Party is now, in the Clinton days.
Now we have it, because Bummer and most of the people he has around him are nothing, and nobody. They don’t deserve to be where they are, even by leftist standards.
He’s inept. And he’s an anti-American leftist.
I truly believe things are better now than they were 15 years ago. Gun rights are stronger, The pro-life movement is stronger, and there are MANY more people who realize what an awful mess we’re in.
There’s a lot to be happy about.
Colorful!
I could go on and on and on. For someone who is so inept he's sure managed to rack up a lot of Leftist achievements, hasn't he?
I think you're missing the big picture. What was the first public speech Obama gave after he was selected to be POTUS and what has happened there and in the region since? There is a much, much bigger plan in play here. Put the pieces together.
They chose the worst possible option of challenging the machine and then backing down.
“I agree and it makes one wonder where the courage and honor are among the Congress.”
With a very few exceptions I don’t think there is any honor or courage anywhere inside the beltway!
I agree totally that zero is not inept at what HE wants to do. It’s a giant mistake to underestimate him and those who support the agenda.
