Clinton has much to 'regret'

Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | Sunday, December 9, 2001 | Mona Charen

[Think free or die]

I was quite surprised to find this opinion piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer. The "Inquie" is pretty steady in its leftward lean. While the content is familiar to Freepers, the source is hardly typical.

[NYC GOP Chick]

While the sane world grieved at the savagery of the Sept. 11 calamity, Clinton confided to a friend his regret. What? That he hadn't done more to protect the nation? That he'd underestimated the danger? No. He "regretted" that this tragedy hadn't happened on his watch, and that he had therefore lost an opportunity for "greatness."

Yes, it's always about the Clintons. They even had to pimp out their daughter with a false story about her non-existent adventures on the morning of 9/11.

They're the bride at every funeral and the corpse at every wedding.

Yes, I know what the saying really is, but this seems so much more appropriate for them.

Thanks for posting this -- I'm glad to hear it's out there in the MAINSTREAM PRESS, not just online at conspiratorial websites.

I feel quite sorry for Chelsea Clinton, as her parents, BOTH of them, are truly CLINICALLY pathological, IMNSHO. Can you imagine the HORROR of having to interface with that sicko couple for 18 years?????

[Ed_in_NJ]

Absolutely "more appropriate for them!"

Mona Charen is a syndicated conservative writer. It's rather surprising to find her in a left-wing rag like the Philadelphia Inquirer. Does anyone know if she has appeared there before?

[ladyinred]

Mona appears from time to time in the left wing rag in my city too. I think they just pick up the syndication feed sometimes when they want to appear more balanced.

While we on FR had already heard this story, nice to see Mona picked it up and wrote about it, so maybe it will get out there more. One of the most disgraceful comments by the slob, minus the L

[AmericanVictory]

Good question. Could this mean that the message is getting through even to such suck-ups of the Leviathan State as the Knight-Ridder organization?

[NixNatAVanG InDaBurgh]

Maybe the Reuters' reporters that were skinned alive after 8 years of following bill clinton's advice gave them a clue. I actually think those retards in the lamestream really thought he was a great president. They believed his bs. and now they see him for the loathesome bottom feeder he is...and his b!tch of burden too.

[Hildy]

Hey where has Mona been lately. Haven't seen anything by her. This is outstanding.

[Think free or die]

I don't recall whether I've seen Mona Charen's work in the Phila Inquirer in the past. Although they'll occasionally pick up a more conservative opinion piece, it's rare to see anything even vaguely critical of the Clintons or big-shot Dems.

Perhaps things are changing though. The Inquirer has had a major decline in circulation in the past couple of years, and they recently announced some changes - new editor, I think.

[Hildy]

I have a friend who is a complete, left-wing, Clinton fund raising liberal. He had pictures of Clinton and himelf on his walls. He campaigned feverishly for Gore. Other than his political leanings, I really like the guy. He's smart and at least he listens to the other side. Last time I saw him, I took him to a Prayer Breakfast which featured Alan Keyes. Anyway, I hadn't spoken to him for many months. I got a call from him today and he told me that he completely loves GW. Thinks he's doing a great job. Says that it's a job he was born to do. I was SHOCKED. God works in mysterious way.

I was thinking tonight of all the money the Clinton's wasted on themselves and their cohorts. Money totaling in the millions. Money that came from our military budget and God alone knows where else. An eight-year exercise in pampering themselves and their sycophants at our expense.

Money that could help pay for those unemployed from the recession that began with the Justice Department's temporary victory in court against Microsoft last year.
Money that could have helped rebuild the Pentagon and clean up the World Trade Center site.
Money that could help pay the medical costs of those who were injured on 9/11 along with the rescue workers who have experienced medical problems because of their bravery.

It's a shame! It should be an embarrassment but not to the Clintons. What do they do when they leave office?

They took as much with them as possible. To this day we do not know what they took from the White House. We probably never will. Oh you say they gave it all back? Ha!

What about after leaving office. We now have to pay the highest office rent in history for an ex-President.

The most expensive Presidential Library ever is being built. (And let's not forget that a black historical building was knocked down while the matter was still in dispute so X42 could have his groundbreaking ceremony.

Yes, Bill Clinton might have regrets all right, but nothing like the ones the people of America should be having about now.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

They believed his bs. and now they see him for the loathesome bottom feeder he is...and his b!tch of burden too.

Now if only they would open their eyes to the true of Hillary...

[IVote2]

Sorry for my grammar, that should be Clintons, both of them along with addition of Chelsea's travel adventures with her parents

[Let's Roll]

ROFLOL

[JSteff]

BOTH of them, are truly CLINICALLY pathological, IMNSHO.

That sort of thinking gives them somewhat of an excuse, and does disservice to those with true mental problems. No my friend, they are just plain evil. Every evil act they do, everything they say is calculated with a predetermined end game which is always for them and only them.

They are not truely upset about what happened on 9/11 or the effects on those affected or by the country. Only how they can take advantage of the sorrow experienced by others while not having to actually do anything to help that requires effort or patriotism.

They are just evil, nothing less.

Gooooooo Mona

One of the few bright spots on CNN. Fox needs to sign her!

[cajun-jack]

tell you what i and a lot of my friends did to the local communist newsletters...all of them wanted to be so big shot and have their drivel on line, so we cancelled the subscriptions and used the money to pay for internet service..about the same price here..can read their nonsense for free. Only drawback is that you don't get the coupons on-line, but my neighbor doesn't use coupons, so he gives them to us every sunday anyway. p.s. I ain't cheap, i am "po"!! their is a difference!!!

[1 FELLOW FREEPER]

Let us get REAL here. We all knew that the Clinton's were evil scum before the first election. Half of this country IS brain dead, or completely apolitical and would vote for satan himself if it would put money in their pocket.Our population has been dumbed down for 30 years already,and no end in sight.
