Love your posts Mia T, as do most of us I'm sure.
It was Klinton's drive-by-shooting attacks on camels, tents, and aspirin factories that help fuel the suicide bombers' resolve to kill 5000+ Americans. He handed Bush this "opportunity" and deserves his share of the "credit." The wretched Chris Matthews makes me sick.

"Bill Clinton never had his shot at greatness...he never got the opportunity George W. Bush was given this Tuesday: the historic chance to lead."I guess when our embassies were bombed, he didn't have a chance. When he announced the "war on drugs", he didn't have a chance. When McVeigh terrorized Oklahoma City, he didn't have a chance. The way his administration alienated a large percentage of the populace at Waco, at Ruby Ridge, and in Little Havana in Miami, he didn't have a chance.
Probably because he was too busy getting hummers to figure it out.
During his 8 years, there were other opportunities. We need to have a post, after this terrorist thing calms down, itemizing Clinton's lost opportunities.

Bill's shot at greatness ended when he shot his load at Monica.

I've been saying this all week: The libs are miserable that President Bush will get the credit for taking action.
These folks are so stinking liberal, it doesn't matter to them that America might prevail. What fools vote for them?

Clinton had no crisis upon which to build a legacy. Didn't he create enough of them?
If this had happened on Clinton's watch, he'd have been President forever, which is probably what Chris Matthews wanted.

I read in one of the trash papers in the grocery store checkout line that Hillary is going to reveal in her new book that she was also cheating on Bill,
Remember what Bill say's,Hillary,"Eating ain't cheating"

"I would have preferred being president during World War II" he said one night in January 1995. "I'm a person out of my time." Should read "I'm a person out of my mind.

Great men do not go out searching for a legacy!!
Greatness is bestowed on them by the deeds they perform with HONOR!!

"I am trying hard to decide who Monica would look more like if she were to get a man's hair cut. Chris matthews, danny rather or petey jennings." -- Freeper "Alas", in reply 15 above.
Jayne, I proudly nominate the above as a future "Quote of the Day". Won't hurt my feelings if it's not selected; I know the competition's awfully tough these days. But I thought this was a scream, and I suspect you prefer having a sizable pool of nominations from which to choose.

Ah, one of my favorite hits. You'd do the world a favor by publishing you book of political 'schematics.' They're endlessly fun. :)

A setup, yes...but Matthews is hedging his bets. In Matthews' opportunity-on-a-silver-platter paradigm, even a Bush win is a non-achievement.

Washington -- Lucky though he was, Bill Clinton never had his shot at greatness...he never got the opportunity George W. Bush was given this Tuesday: the historic chance to lead.Is Matthews a sick SOB?????
5,000+ dead and HE thinks it's a chance at "greatness"?
Liberals NEVER fail to sicken me.
To: Mia T
Clinton may not have had a shot at greatness, but his Presidency was full of opportunities for decency, and he failed at that so regularly that he achieved a kind of perverse greatness. We'll never have a primer example of the kind of man who should NEVER AGAIN be President.
