Whispers of "payback" are being directed at Hillary Clinton after she decried as "unprecedented" the surprise FBI revival of its probe of her email scandal.

That's because 24 years ago, as former President George H.W. Bush was surging back against challenger Bill Clinton, a special prosecutor raised new charges against Bush in the Iran-Contra probe, prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a "culture of corruption."

I don’t believe this one was orchestrated by Trump, but I wish it was.

Actually, I don’t know which one of these two crooks I hate worse. I guess Clintoon, but only because he got 8 years to screw us whereas GHW Boosh only got four!

Mind you, enough people were going to either stay home or vote Perot anyway.

It’s not just what Lawrence Walsh did to a very good man, Caspar Weinberger.

It’s the reprehensible treatment of Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan during the Reagan administration. It’s the indictment of Tom DeLay. It’s the FBI ignoring the true leak of the Valerie Plame nothingburger and setting up Scooter Libby.

Democrats have behaved so poorly over so many years that the rest of us should show no sympathy, no compassion, no remorse.

I still remember Dan Rather asking on his nightly CBS News “Will this be the final nail in Bush’s coffin?”

GHWB was so forgiving that he is now likely to vote for Mrs. Bill: too hard to write in Egg McMuffin in Houston.

Yeah. We sure didn’t hear Clintons complaining when Weinberger was taken out FOUR DAYS before the election so that Clinton won and Bush 41 lost. And now she’s bitching about something ELEVEN DAYS before HER election? Gimmee a break.

I hope this event in history is all over Twitter so people can see the typical DOUBLE STANDARD.

prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a “culture of corruption”... I like the term “culture of corruption”. Trump could use that slogan, oh man!
