Still a Clinton hater. And loving it.

Nice rant.

[grobdriver]

A recent Gallup poll rated the last eight presidents in terms of job approval. In the poll, the first one taken since he left office, Clinton ranked sixth, ahead of only Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.

I hate him too. I won't be happy until it's like in ancient Egypt - I want his name struck from every official document, every column, every roledex, every book and every man's (and woman's) mind.
I won't be happy until someone by chance comes across a mistake, his name left in writing somewhere, and says, "Hey Joe. Who was this guy Clinton, anyway?".
I don't want him remembered as the piece of crap that he is; I don't want him remembered at all!

Bump...

[Lizzy W]

Bravo.

[texson66]

RANT ON!

[stevio]

So eloquently stated.

[CatoRenasci]

My long-term goal is that Clinton is ranked below both Richard Nixon and Andrew Johnson as the worst president ever.

His administration was more corrupt than Harding's or Grant's, which was perhaps the most corrupt administration since Jackson's. But both Jackson (whom I detest) and Grant (whom i admire) were genuine war heros and men of courage and personal honor. Their naivete led them to trust corrupt "friends" and to be used by them - shame on the corrupters not on the men they misled.

Clinton on the other hand was the chief corrupt boil on the body politic, the master prestidigitaror and mountebank, the source of the putresence that permeated the government during his vile rule.

But, I don't want to get started and tell you how I really feel about Slick....

Was Jonathan Alter really wearing Monicas kneepads during the NewsWeak interview? I'm sure he was. He probably has a stained tie to prove it.

If this man isn't a Freeper I'd like to know why?

Cogent and insightful piece of work. Long enough to cover some of the major crimes of the Clinton's, yet short enough to read over morning coffee.

[The Energizer]

This column has "you" written all over it!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

More recently, he permitted the Monica Lewinsky of newsmagazines, Newsweek, to interview him.

Good line...I get mail from Newsweek regularly asking me to subscribe and tear it up. Remember when they put Gingrich on the cover and titled it "The Loser"? They never put Clinton on the cover with a title "The Liar."

actually, in terms of indictments/convictions of members of an administration, Ronald Reagan's counts as the most corrupt of the last century. U.S. Grant's as the most corrupt ever. if you're interested in facts. Clinton's administration may have been greatly "investigated", but that means little, as none of the investigations turned up proof of actual indictable crimes, and in the U.S., you are innocent until proven guilty.

...none of the investigations turned up proof of actual indictable crimes,...

There's still time!

[B.O. Plenty]

Good stuff...The worst thing about Clinton for me is that he kind of robbed me of 8 years...The Clinton years were such a nightmare that they nulled out good memories and left visions of ugly, hateful democrat accusactions of making my 'ol mom eat dog food and Monica on her knees under the oval office desk

[RooRoobird14]

LOL!!! I like the author's style!!

[prognostigaator]

.....none of the investigations turned up proof of actual indictable crimes, and in the U.S., you are innocent until proven guilty.

no indictable crimes, -but indelible ones on blue dresses..the rest got washed down the sink.

Except for independent prosecutors (a screw-up on klinton's part), klinton's regime was investigated and prosecuted by klinton's own inJustice Department. Janet Reno proclaimed the unique doctrine of "no prosecution unless absolute proof of guilt". We also had a lot of "cases under federal investigation" that went on forever.

Reagan and his people were often charged in the media with "the hint of the appearance of impropriety". The democRATS of that era treated that as the equivalence of a felony conviction. The most solid stuff was things like $100 cufflinks and vague accusations of insider trading.

Stuff like that was nickel-dime for the klintons. Instead, we heard about heavy-duty felonies like perjury, obstruction of justice, bribery, and treason. And that was just the stuff that couldn't be suppressed by a corrupt and cooperative media and justice system.

Ahem....I think it depends on the meaning of "crime" and "indictable".....

Gotta disagree with you on that; THOSE WHO CANNOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT.
