MIDI - I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS scroll to the bottom
Trent's dreaming of a white Christmas
With all his fellow Dixiecrats
For his pal Strom Thurmond
He had been yearnin'
He'd lead and things would stand pat
Trent's dreaming of a white Christmas
He should have called those witnesses
His impeachment work we abhor
So for him we are there no more
Trent's dreaming of a white Christmas
He really ran off at the mouth
They will burst his bubble
He's in big trouble
Support for Trent's heading South
Trent's dreaming of a white Christmas
He should have called those witnesses
His impeachment work we abhor
So for him we are there no more
For we who missed Mud's lyrics, do you have a link to them?
The turning point came, Schippers said, when he heard Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, tell his Judiciary Committee boss Henry Hyde, "Henry, I don't care if you prove Clinton raped a woman and stood up and shot her dead, you're not going to get 67 votes."
Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott wasn't much better. "You're not going to dump this garbage on us," Lott protested when Hyde came over to present his case. An astonished Schippers looked on.
"If you knew this was going on, why didn't you say something then?" Alan Colmes challenged the old Chicago prosecutor.
"Up until we walked onto the floor of the Senate, we hoped at the last moment we would get support from the Republican leadership," Schippers explained. "We never got it."
Still, as disgusted as the mob-busting veteran lawman is with GOP spinelessness during impeachment, he left no doubt who he thinks really sold out the country's political integrity.
"No question, President Clinton," Schippers told Colmes. "He sold out the office, he destroyed the office of the presidency, he denigrated the entire system, he attacked the other two branches of government directly."
