The ClintCons never say die:

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.
The Clintons have surfed this psychotic cultural and generational wave into the White House.
The attempt has been made to understand Bill and Hillary Clinton, particularly Bill, in terms of classical neurosis from abusive childhoods. But much of what is seen in the Clinton generation has made that model obsolete, although many from that generation, including psychiatrists and psychologists, desperately hold on to it to relieve themselves of any personal responsibility.
The truth is, Bill and Hillary Clinton have not suffered a bit of inconvenience for nearly 40 years¾including, for Bill, the inconvenience of military service. By his freshman year in high school Bill found he could manipulate people with showy glibness and deception, and nobody would call him on it. A good memory for acting lines would carry him through easy courses in the most prestigious schools in the country without effort or necessity to learn seriously. From there, he went almost immediately to being the boy governor of a state, and on to the presidency. It was all done with a little empty talk on a level that could be found on any high school debate team.
Hillary has led a similar life of ease and is now being pushed to take a senate seat and run for the presidency in 2004 on a platform of angrily confronting a vast right-wing conspiracy¾ which essentially consists of making accusatory and sarcastic remarks at you and me through a TV screen to the delight of angry women, spoiled angry leftists, and angry minorities. It isn't a bad life for an untalented spoiled brat who, without the world of TV and alienated politics, would be lucky to hold a job as a waitress in a truck stop.
The problem with the both Clintons is that they were long ago licensed to think and act at primitive, immature, and irrational levels of functioning. Much of this was a self-conferred licensing by a generation which has continued, and which has been the root of most of the political, economic, and social problems in this country.

Why do people keep focusing on this witch and keeping her memory alive???
How about everybody just FORGET her and move on.
We've got what we want and folks just keep living in the past.
She and her ex(?) will keep it up as long as they think there's someone to listen.

Are you talking to us?

Maybe we should treat these two scumbags like terrorists .... they terrorized us, our paychecks and our healthcare for 8 years. I HATE these people.
