I've been trying to figure out what is going on with his hair. It looks like it's a bad toupee but he's too young for that ... tightly curled like he has a bad perm ... then just tossed onto his head. And notice the creepy smile lately. A slight tilt of the head and a seedy insincere smile.

Voter fraud should have been one of the first things the Republicans "took on." I would bet that Bush DID in fact win the popular vote but it was negated by voter fraud. And, it could happen again without serious attention.

[hchutch]

That explains EVERYTHING!!!

"the poor boy who rises by dint of hard work, merit, superior intelligence, and character."

I MUST do something about my contacts. I could swear Sid used the words 'Clinton' and 'character' in the same sentence.

I have a vague memory of a cursory explanation of why all the votes were not tallied in each state.

I believe it was if the votes counted showed a clear winner for that state -- and the total uncounted votes (absentee, etc.) weren't enough to change the electoral outcome, the states didn't count them, because the popular vote doesn't "count."

You and me both! I never understood how anyone found him attractive! By mid or late 1991, I had already pegged him as a sweaty, lying dirtbag. In fact, he reminded me of every sleazy stockbroker I knew -- the kind who'd tell you whatever it is you wanted to hear, just to make the sale. He has always looked like he's on the make, and I've *never* found anything remotely attractive about him, in terms of looks or personality/charm.

Sid will be best known for paying Matt Drudge for accusing him of wife beating.

I'll take a stab at summarizing: Blah, blah, lie...I hate the religious right...I am a Jewish intellectual...I was the force that made the Clintons SUPERHUMAN...blah, blah, I am a Jewish intellectual that hates the Christian right...Hillary would be NOTHING without me....blah, lie, blah.

How did I do at this summarizing stuff??

[Auntie Mame]

This is just too good.

"One evening, without advance notice, Clinton conducted the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center. A member of the orchestra told me he was the only guest conductor they'd ever had who knew what he was doing."

Translation : Clinton was the first guest conductor ever who could conduct the female part of a symphony orchestra "around corners."

Hence their honorary nickname for him : Ol' Bent Baton

[The Wizard]

or, a shorter version:

Clinton is God, everyone else must bow before him

[Timeout]

The left still decries the Supreme Court's decision on the Florida mess.

But they forget that SCOTUS was merely overturning the MESS made by the FLORDIA SUPREME COURT (Nine Democrats!). They can't see that, if SCOTUS hadn't intervened, FLOTUS's actions would've been the most partisan interloping in American history.

Be sure to read Robert Bentley's review of Sid's book as well. Between these two, you'll get a full picture of The Clinton Wars without ever having to crack the cover once.

Yes, the Mussolini Jaw Thrust. It always made me want to punch holes in the walls whenever I saw that...

Me too. Then I consoled myself with mental images of Mussolini's upside-down corpse hanging bloodied and dead in the public square after the anti-Fascists finished with him.

[Auntie Mame]

Thanks for the link. Read it and it's another great review. Although I have no intention of reading Blumenthal's book, I am enjoying these reviews and admire anyone that can force themselves to read the lies....... er, book.

[Mia T]

I always thought of it as the "Mussolini look."

Insightful.

As an alternative, the overdeveloped mandible is suggestive of acromegaly... or perhaps kissing cousins of the Arkansas sort....
