'If that had been Bill Clinton,' says former [Presidential] spokesman Joe Lockhardt, the subpoeanas would have been flying, and there would be blood on the floor from Republicans fighting over who gets to investigate.'
President Bush and his aides dismissed the talk of backlash. 'I see none, says a senior offical.'
A Democratic strategist warns that foes themselves run risk in attacking..

Ridiculous comments.
Clinton did visit the troops in Kosovo, I think. Same difference. One visit the Army and the other the Navy.
DemRats are idiots.

You're on this.
I really hope the Dem's keep this issue alive. They have no idea what they're doing to themselves.

Even the Democrats own strategists can't keep their own party faithful from falling into the trap!

Nah, your memory is fine, he went to a carrier at least once and maybe more.
But I believe it was while the ship was in port, so technically, it was only shore duty!

Clinton and his cronies stole The USS Roosevelt blind---they looted as much as they could from the ships store ( bath robes and other memorabilia)....Actually I much preferred watching W in his jump suit to listening to the explanation os Clinton as to why he needed a $200 haircut on the tarmac of LAX early in his so called presidency

Am I having memory problems or did the Toon actually go visit a carrier himself? Not only did they visit the USS George Washington, he and his staff stayed overnight and CLEANED OUT the staterooms of "souveniers" like bathrobes, towels, etc.
There is a White House memo floating around telling those who took stuff to send a check to the GW to reimburse them for the stuff they took.

President Bill Clinton is piped aboard as he goes through the sideboys on the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV 62) at her homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, on Wednesday, April 17, 1996. The President took time out from his state visit to Japan to meet with the crew of the carrier and to thank them for their role in representing U.S. interests during their deployment off the coast of Taiwan.

It's nice to see that Joe Lockhardt is still stupid as a rock. Some things never change.

Ah . . . it all becomes clear . . . the Impeachment wasn't about Monica -- or perjury -- or corruption . . . it was because Slick visited the George Washington during his trip to the Normandy beaches!
