Green-Eyed and an Utter-Failure, Impeached Ex-Ersatz Prez Wants A Presidential Mulligan
"Clinton talked the talk and did diddly squat, whereas Bush doesn't talk, but does deliver."

Kennedy Country (May 28, 2003 ) - Utter-failure impeached ex-ersatz president bill clinton angled for an Oval-Office mulligan during his reciprocal intern-exploitation-purgation attempt at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum here.

In a move that surprised even his most servile toady -- clinton is not one ever to let the rule of law stand in his way -- the utter-failure impeached ex-ersatz president this time looked to changing the law instead of breaking it. He said on Wednesday that Congress should change the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution, the only thing, in his view, that stands between him and a third Oval-Office occupation.

Although this scheme is seen largely as a hedge against the missus' widely-viewed unelectability, it is in fact primarily about job preference: a third term beats first man, which is, at best, second fiddle.This move is also meant to further marginalize the "nine dwarfs" -- the current D presidential lineup -- in order to keep the ticket wide open for a clinton in '08.

Clinton blasted the 22nd Amendment. "It's blocking me from another shot at greatness," he said. (Given his sorry legacy, he'll take another shot at AVERAGE, according to Washington insiders.)

clinton whined, " No fair. If FDR can have four terms, I should be allowed at least that number."

"I plan to be on the stage forever. Me at 80 rips Jefferson in his prime.

"The 22nd Amendment should be modified to say two consecutive terms instead of two terms for a lifetime. Two consecutive terms' sounds good, but it puts no further limits on clinton. (The president may be on hiatus, but not the snake-oil salesman.)

"I deserve a mulligan. My failures at 45 or 50 were clearly practice shots; if eight years later the country comes up against the same kind of problems, I should get another shot," he said.

Clinton, who left office in 2001, said he had "loved" presidential power but was also enjoying scooping up all the bribes that have placed him [not so] squarely in the top tax bracket.

"I was surprised at how empty my life is, notwithstanding the top bracket," he said during a question-and-answer session meant to reprogram presidential historian Michael Beschloss.

clinton said he was writing his memoirs, a third book in the revisionist clinton legacy trilogy. -- "The clinton Wars" by Sidney Blumenthal's ghostwriter, hillary clinton was the first, and Living History by the missus' ghostwriters, the second in the series.

The Real Danger of a Fake President:

Post-9/11 Reconsideration of The Placebo President

by Mia T, 1.06.02  

 

 

 In May, 1996, American diplomats were informed in a Sudanese government fax that Bin Laden was about to be expelled -- giving Washington another chance to seize him. The decision not to do so went to the very top of the White House, according to former administration sources.

They say that the clear focus of American policy was to discourage the state sponsorship of terrorism. So persuading Khartoum to expel Bin Laden was in itself counted as a clear victory. The administration was "delighted".

Bin Laden took off from Khartoum on May 18 in a chartered C-130 plane with 150 of his followers, including his wives. He was bound for Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. On the way the plane refuelled in the Gulf state of Qatar, which has friendly relations with Washington, but he was allowed to proceed unhindered.

Barely a month later, on June 25, a 5,000lb truck bomb ripped apart the front of Khobar Towers, a US military housing complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The explosion killed 19 American servicemen. Bin Laden was immediately suspected...

US missed three chances to seize Bin Laden

Just look around this chamber. We have members from virtually every racial, ethnic, and religious background. And America is stronger for it. But as we have seen, these differences all too often spark hatred and division, even here at home. . . This is not the American way. We must draw the line. Without delay, we must pass the Hate Crimes Prevention Act and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. And we should reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

bill clinton, State of Union Speech, January 27, 2000

 

"I'm sorry, but the president is one of the crudest men I have ever encountered in government service," says one female agent. "He has no respect for women."

Among the comments clinton made in presence of Secret Service agents:

. Frequent speculation on the oral sex skills of women

the president saw or met in receiving lines;

. References to the size of a woman's breasts, legs or figure;

. Sexual jokes.

After the Monica Lewinsky story broke, however, clinton toned down his rhetoric and behavior in front of his Secret Service agents, but those who guarded the president say enough of them saw and heard things which could be damaging to clinton.

"It depends on who Ken Starr calls," says one ex-agent. "The people who are on the job today are not necessarily the ones who know the most."

Turnover In clinton's Secret Service Detail 'Highest That Anyone Can Remember'

 

In the months that follow, reporters drop the issue. Feminists say little or nothing. Rape crisis center workers acknowledge that Broaddrick's case, including her reluctance to come forward, is typical of victims of sexual assault. But they decline to speak against clinton. Some cite the federal funding they receive as a result of the Violence Against Women Act, which was signed into law by clinton.

Why does the press continue to ignore the Juanita Broaddrick story?

Richard Gere stunned fellow liberals Monday by suggesting that President Bush is doing a better job of fighting AIDS than President Bill Clinton did.

Introduced by Sharon Stone at a fund-raiser at Cipriani 42nd Street for the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the "Chicago" star hailed Bush for his State of the Union proposal to contribute $15 billion toward the AIDS battle in Africa and the Caribbean. Gere then addressed the track record of Bush's predecessor in the White House.

"I'm sorry, Sen. [Hillary] Clinton, but your husband did nothing about AIDS for eight years," Gere said.

The Placebo President:

How a Rapist can be a Policy Feminist

 

placebo effect n.

A beneficial effect in a patient following a particular treatment

that arises from the patient's expectations concerning

the treatment rather than from the treatment itself.

 

Every woman adores a Fascist,
The boot in the face, the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you.

----Sylvia Plath

 

The placebo effect immediately came to mind

as I listened to Shelby Steele,

a research fellow at the Hoover Institution,

debunk the following pernicious spin intended to save clinton.

To wit:

A proven felon and utter reprobate can remain president;

clinton can be a failed human being but a good president.

 

The error in these statements arises, says Steele,

from the belief that

virtuousness is separate from personal responsibility

so that one's virtuousness as an individual is determined by

one's political positions on issues rather than on

whether or not in one's personal life there is a

consistency and a responsibility.

 

Steele's contention is that this compartmentalization,

rather than being the amazing advantage

the clintons would have us believe,

in fact, spills toxicity into, corrupts, the culture.

 

If mere identification with good policies is what makes one virtuous

then those policies become, what Steele calls, iconographic,

that is to say they just represent virtuousness.

They don't necessarily do virtuous things.

 

If clinton's semantic parsing strips meaning from our words,

clinton's iconographic policies strip meaning from our society,

systematically deconstructing our society as a democracy. . .

 

I would take Shelby Steele's thesis one step further.

I maintain that iconographic policy functions like a placebo,

producing a real, physiological and social effects.

 

The placebo effect is, after all, the brain's triumph over reality.

Expectation alone can produce powerful physiological results.

The placebo effect was, at one time, an evolutionary advantage:

act now, think later

 

bill clinton is the paradigmatic Placebo President.

Placebo is Latin for "I shall please."

And please he does

doling out sham treatments, iconographs, with abandon.

To please, to placate, to numb, to deflect.

Ultimately to showcase his imagined virtue.

Or to confute his genuine vice.

 

clinton will dispense sugar pills (or bombs)

at the drop of a high-heeled shoe...

or at the hint of high treason...

 

clinton's charlatanry mimics that of primitive medicine.

Through the 1940s, doctors had little effective medicine to offer

so they deliberately attempted to induce the placebo response.

 

The efficaciousness of today's medicines

does not diminish the power of the placebo.

A recent review of placebo-controlled studies

found that placebos and genuine treatments

are often equally effective.

If you expect to get better, you will.

 

Which brings me back to the original question:

Can clinton be a failed human being but a good president?

 

Clearly he cannot.

These two propositions are mutually exclusive.

clinton's fundamental failure is a complete lack of integrity.

He has violated his covenant with the American people.

 

Because clinton has destroyed his moral authority as a leader,

he can no longer function even as a quack;

the placebo effect is gone.

And so the Placebo President must now go, too.

 

 

 

 

September 11 changed a lot of things for me, Bill [O'Reilly]. I will say this, before September 11, I was definitely mildly myopic in terms of my political agenda. If you were Democrat you were probably right, and if you were a Republican you were probably wrong. Everything changed for me that day...

My entire worldview changed. If you would have told me September 9 that I would have been at the world series game filming George Bush throwing out the first pitch with my 6-year-old son crying, I never would have believed you, but I was. Because my whole worldview changed.

[Mister Baredog]

I love your posts Mia T. Your hard work shows, thanks again.

I hope the "bent one" hogs the spotlight forever. It just overshadows the rest of the DEMONCRATS. I've become very adept at tuning him out(years of practice) but I like his ability to continually "sink" to new lows regularly. It reflects on the Hildebeast too, like a stone around their necks! LOL

[kellynla]

Klinton just can't get in his thick skull that the vast majority of people cannot stand the sight of him and that the eight years the parasite was POUS were the worst years of shame and embarrassment anyone has every placed on the office. Hey Klinton GET LOST!

[Mia T]

oops. actually this:

"The 22nd Amendment should be modified to say two consecutive terms instead of two terms for a lifetime," said clinton. "Two consecutive terms" sounds good, but it puts no further limits on clinton. (The president may be on hiatus, but the snake-oil salesman is not.)

Democratic Party's Problem Transcends Its Anti-War Contingent

If Act I was a thinly veiled allegory about naked clintonism, then Act II is a parable about the plan for world domination by the Establishment, aged hippies in pinstripes all, with their infantile, solipsistic world view amazingly untouched by time.

 

Mia T, THE ALIENS

 

Al From is sounding the alarm. "Unless we convince Americans that Democrats are strong on national security," he warns his party, "Democrats will continue to lose elections."

Helloooo? That the Democrats have to be spoon-fed what should be axiomatic post-9/11 is, in and of itself, incontrovertible proof that From's advice is insufficient to solve their problem.

From's failure to fully lay out the nature of the Democrats' problem is not surprising: he is the guy who helped seal his party's fate. It was his Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) that institutionalized the proximate cause of the problem, clintonism, and legitimized its two eponymic provincial operators on the national stage. The "Third Way" and "triangulation" don't come from the same Latin root for no reason.

That "convince" is From's operative word underscores the Democrats' dilemma. Nine-eleven was transformative. It is no longer sufficient merely to convince. One must demonstrate, demonstrate convincingly, if you will… which means both in real time and historically.

When it comes to national security, Americans will no longer take any chances. Turning the turn of phrase back on itself, the era of the Placebo President is over. (Incidentally, the oft-quote out-of-context sentence fragment alluded to here transformed meaningless clinton triangulation into a meaningful if deceptive soundbite.)

Although From is loath to admit it -- the terror in his eyes belies his facile solution -- the Democratic party's problem transcends its anti-war contingent.

With a philosophy that relinquishes our national sovereignty -- and relinquishes it reflexively… and to the UN no less -- the Democratic party is, by definition, the party of national insecurity.

With policy ruled by pathologic self-interest -- witness the "Lieberman Paradigm," Kerry's "regime change" bon mot (gone bad), Edwards' and the clintons' brazen echoes thereof (or, alternatively, Pelosi's less strident wartime non-putdown putdown)… and, of course, the clincher -- eight years of the clintons' infantilism, grotesquerie and utter failure -- the Democratic party is, historically and in real time, the party of national insecurity.

The Democrats used to be able to wallpaper their national insecurity with dollars and demogoguery. But that was before 9/11.

This just shows the ignorance of the former pres. in regards to the constitution and the rights of the people. There was a dang good reason for the ammendment and it should never ever be repealed, even for someone we here at FR like.

[Teacup]

Good work as usual Mia. Can you imagin? The dummy wants a 3rd term? Lord help us.

[Faith]

The man is blind---living in total darkness. As long as he sees himself as god and fails to recognize the one, true God, Clinton will never progress beyond this disgusting love affair with himself. Thanks, MiaT.

Let's COMPARE and CONTRAST the current administration with the previous one, shall we? . . .

BTTT.

Bill Clinton, get off the stage. Booooo-oooo-ooooo!!!

Rutherford tried to further morph Clinton into a flying Elvi. He said: "Clinton was 'Elvis.' That's what the press nicknamed him. I think there's a natural linkage."

 

 

Lol!....Clinton as a "flying Elvis." ...Ghostbuster Stay-Puft Marshmallow man, maybe.

Thanks for your work Mia on the Clinton archives. We need a true record on that schmuck so the historians can't rewrite history.

I admire all the great work you do, Mia, but please don't disparage us green-eyed people by trying to stick him with us. :(

[NYC GOP Chick]

I wonder if we can find a pic of Mike Tyson, in a similar post to that money shot of the Sink emperor. Would make a nice compare and (not very much) contrast. :)

[MeekOneGOP]

Couldn't find one very close . . .

[MeekOneGOP]

Speakin' of Tyson, this was humorous . . .
