NEW YORK -- Like birders tracking a rare and exotic species, Bill Clinton watchers in Harlem rarely see their quarry--but they talk about him an awful lot.

"I heard he was in there watching the Super Bowl," says Muhammad Spencer, an outdoor incense vendor. "I saw a lot of trips from the pizza place."

These folks need to get a life. And/or set their standards at least a bit higher.

I think the main reason he moved there is that it would be dangerous for Freepers to do an "infinite Freep" on him every day.

"There's a reason he came down, a purpose.

yes, Muhammad, there's a reason he came down. But you don't want the truth. The lie is enough to give you comfort. Sell your incense, and watch the pizza deliveries. It's enough for you.

It's difficult creating a new culture on the fly. A lot of mistakes are made in the process.

"I saw him rob a liquor store a few days ago" added Mohammed Aqi LaSheka "Porkchop" Wayne Lee Ray Roosevelt, a white student at NYU who is doing an internship as a black man this semester.

What a sad comment. How pathetic to worship a man who consistantly uses you. I guess it's sort of like battered wife syndrome.

Blacks are like a jizz rag for Clinton.

That would have been a pretty impressive acomplishment seeing as he was on the field in New Orleans getting booed.

C'mon people. You didn't actually think he was going to spend any time in Harlem, did you?

That's an excellent comparison, IMHO.

A more polite reference is "an Oval Office sink".
