Yes, I am suspecting this as well. But, if this "scandal" doesn't take, they'll come up with another.

the republicans will run jeb bush vs Hillary! in '008 ... who will want to vote for a xxxlinton instead of a bush if the economy comes back strong and much of the terrorism has been dealt with?

Ruddy left out one of the greatest political crimes of the 20th century, the expropriation of highly confidential FBI files on no fewer than 900 political opponents...

He also left out my nominee for the most overlooked scandal of the Clinton presidency, two million acres of scrub land in southern Utah which Clinton turned into a "national monument" called Grand Staircase Escalante. Wouldn't you know it? The second largest soft-burning coal mine in the world just happened to be located on that land, which is now out of operation as a direct result of Clinton's act. Funny how its biggest competitor was a coal mine in Indonesia owned by mega-wealthy Clinton campaign donor and alleged co-conspirator James Riady and some of his buddies in the Chinese military.

Clinton's priceless gift to the American people
The scrub lands of Grand Staircase Escalante

The term given to the illegal foreign donations to Clinton from the Indonesian Lippo group.

Of course! Thanks.

I believe Dick Morris had an observation that I have not seen repeated. It was that the images of Hillary claiming she did not know of his infidelity, when she said, will be repeated in the future, just as Bill's wagging of his finger were.

Pinging you to # 39.

As it turned out, dozens of the Clintons' aides and associates had to resign, were indicted, went to jail or were referred for criminal indictment.

...Grand Staircase Escalante. Wouldn't you know it? The second largest soft-burning coal mine in the world just happened to be located on that land, which is now out of operation as a direct result of Clinton's act. Funny how its biggest competitor was a coal mine in Indonesia owned by mega-wealthy Clinton campaign donor and alleged co-conspirator James Riady and some of his buddies in the Chinese military.

And the name "James Riady" just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Comes up in everyday conversation all the time! < /sarcasm >

With the exception of the 1961-era Billy sol Estes scandal linked to Johnson because of their friendship, and to Kennedy by association, until recently the press didn't emphasize the names of those involved in Democratic scandals. The mainstream press still doesn't.

I think the only reason we don't hear a lot more about Spirew Agnew is because the mainstream press loves getting more milage out of Watergate. They love to vilify McCarthy and Ollie North every chance they get. When it comes to the Clintons, they martyr Susan MacDougal; otherwise, names are seldom named.

By thinking that she, too, can get by without naming those names, or taking any personal responsibility for any failure during her and her husband's political careers, Hillary's book does seem to bringing those things -- and names! -- back into the spotlight. I never thought I'd ever say this, but: Thank you, Hillary.

you know the real tragidy is if the son of a bitch could have ran for a third term the bastard probable would have won......at that thought i must now go puke

[Fawnn]

re your post #12: Great point re the FBI files! Puts things in perspective, doens't it?

(Take a look-see at my post #47 for some other info about names.)

Now these 86 people have perished in strange circumstances . Why would so many people who were so close to Mr. Clinton die in so many ways ?

It's even stranger that NOT ONE friend of Dubya has blown his brains out...

[Stultis]

Gore lost, and press reports say that Gore and his wife, Tipper, blamed Clinton and his scandal-riddled administration for the loss.

In truth, however, algore's real problem -- well, one of his problems -- was his utter refusal, throughout the campaign and previously, to use the word "liar," or any recognizable cognate thereof, in referring to The Rapist. (I still shudder to think he nearly won in spite of it all.)

[Republicus2001]

The dead White House friends score:

Clinton - 86
Dubya - 0

Jeesh what a wipeout!
