University of Arkansas Teaching Clinton 101

(CNSNews.com) - The University of Arkansas has announced plans to offer a class on the presidency of Bill Clinton, scandals and all. Beginning in January, the school will offer "The Clinton Presidency," which it says will touch on the former president's achievements and the controversies surrounding his time in office.

"This isn't a whitewash," said University of Arkansas at Little Rock political science professor Margaret Scranton, who will teach the class and develop the curriculum. "We're going to deal with the scandals and how you govern in the midst of it all ... the politics of personal destruction. That's part of the 90s," she added.

Scranton said she hopes to attract speakers such as Clinton lawyer David Kendall, NATO commander Wesley Clark, Bob Dole and Clinton critic Newt Gingrich.

The class will have access to former Clinton staffers and presidential documents through a private Clinton foundation website.

The class will serve as the prototype for the planned Clinton School of Public Service at the Clinton Presidential Library.

The Clinton school, which will be part of the University of Arkansas system, and the library are set to open in fall 2004.

This is such leftist propaganda bull crap. They are teaching future American's that scandals, criminal acts, breaking the rule of law and committing perjury are JUST the 'politics of personal destruction.'

In other words, the course will focus on how our wise, brave, compassionate, vigorous, virile and altrusitic commander in chief managed to do so much good for the American people, in spite of the burdensome distractions posed by his evil political opponents who never let up on their relentless, politically motivated attacks on his personal character.

How many of these staffers are still in prison? Will Monica be included?

A little off topic, yet Clinton-relevant. Jennifer Tilly on Politically Incorrect last night, commented something about if pornography is regulated, they could put Bill Clinton in charge of it; she rec'd applause from audience.

This is surely the intention– liberals know the truth about the clintons will 'out' eventually and are trying to prevent it –(clinton and liberal go hand in hand). By stimulating an interest students may be inclined to dig deeper and there is nothing more ‘cool’ than tripping up your bigoted professor with the facts.

This attempt at propaganda could very easily backfire on them, also many people who suffered under clinton still live in Arkansas.

Of course Clinton is an honest man. Ask Dan Rather.

Dan Rather answered the question of Clinton's honesty:

"I think he’s an honest man....I think at core he’s an honest person....I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."

It depends what you mean by lying. If someone asks, "How are you," and if you have a headache, it's still best in most circumstances to say, "I'm Fine, how are you?"

Or if you know that telling the truth would embarrass a lady needlessly, you might prefer to suppress some of the details.

But lying under oath, lying to defend your sorry *ss, lying to make the ladies look guilty and yourself innocent, those are not little white lies or social lies or justifiable prevarication. The right words to describe such conduct are ruder than that. Lets try slander, bearing false witness, and perjury for starters. Also treason.

And Rather knows it.

Clinton School of Public Service

Who started this Public Service reference to elected officials? Maybe in the times of the founders. Now it seems to be more like Public Control.
