Hillary: Bill Was Better Than Bush

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said Friday that her husband, disgraced ex-president Bill Clinton, was a better leader for America than the current occupant of the Oval Office, George Bush.

"I believe two terms of the Clinton administration were very good for our country," Mrs. Clinton said during a conference call with reporters, adding, "I'm deeply concerned that within a space of a year we seem to have done a U-turn."

Sen. Clinton complained that the U.S. has gone downhill since Bush took over.

"Many of us believe the country was in the right condition when President Clinton left us and that we should have built on those successes instead of turning back the clock."

She also claimed that the U.S. was "richer and safer and smarter and stronger" with her husband at the helm but now those achievements have been "eliminated or reversed in the space of a year."

The harsh assessment from the country's most celebrated elected Democrat comes just two days after her husband gathered top aides with his former administration to devise a strategy to rehabilitate his tattered image.

After being impeached in 1998 for lying under oath in response to allegations of sexual harassment, being accused of sexual assault and even forcible rape, Mr. Clinton's image has been further battered by new charges that he was soft on terror kingpin Osama bin Laden.

Mrs. Clinton was not present at the Wednesday strategy session but her former chief of staff, Maggie Williams, who now serves the ex-president in the same role, attended the meeting.

How can we forget about someone whose past actions continue to affect our country and whose current actions create new havoc everywhere she goes? Can you forget a pebble in your shoe? A piece of grit in your eye? A boil on your butt?

She's a constant irritation to those of us who grew to despise her over the eight years we had a steady diet of her. The more you know of her character, the more you realize how little respect she deserves and how little public censure she's actually received. She is not someone you can forget and move away from. She is there, in your face, every day. She continues to spew her poison where she can, her personal agenda where she may, and her twisted vision of the world when the opportunity presents itself. We draw attention to her because we hope that in time, her veneer will completely be worn away and she will be revealed for the hypocritical, lying, thieving, (expletive deleted) she really is. Short of Judgement Day, that is all we can do.

The only significant thing about this statement is not what it says (what else would we expect the Senator from Vanity Fair to say?) but, as usual, how it says it. She never says "my husband", she says "the Clinton Administration". She doesn't say, "when we left the White House", she says "when President Clinton left us". She's disassociating herself from him personally, while still trying to take credit for the remaining shreds of the "legacy" - i.e. the stock market bubble she calls prosperity and the relative lull between wars she calls "peace". Get used to this - Comrade Hillary has only begun to position herself for the 2004 race.

Over the last eight years, Monica Lewinsky showed that she took better care of Mr. Bill Clinton than Mrs. Bill Clinton did! (If you give at the office, you don't have to give at home). Now that's a filthy livid white scar that will outlive almost every American alive today!

"Hillary: Bill Was Better Than Bush"

Reading this headline, I was trying to decide if Hillary was making a political observation or a comment on her bisexual lifestyle.
