So Hillary understood a few years ago that AQ and Iraq were working together. Good.

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! Yep ! Ole da$$hole is a regular clown !

This is what he does to pull out of his depressions:

[PhiKapMom]

ROFLOL!!!!!!!!! Way to go!

[PhiKapMom]

Sounded like it was a revenge move on Hillary.

That is how it sounded to me as well. I don't think he could stand her being President and he, The First Husband! His ego would never permit that and can you imagine how tight his chain would be if she were President? Glad I am not the only one that thinks that way!

[Eva]

Geez, even the Republican party doesn't see what is happening.

First Clinton knows that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, but he kept his mouth closed until this week. He sent Terry McAuliffe out with the talking points about the STOU and the elusive WMD. He lets all the potential candidates fall into the trap and then he shuts the door, stating that the WMD are an indisputable fact. Whamo, fait'accompli, the slate is cleared for Hillary. It is also notable that he sent the heads of the DLC out with an article in the WSJ, decrying the takeover of the party by the leftwing, saying that they were negating all the centrist gains that Clinton made.

[Sacajaweau]

I don't believe he thinks she is in any way capable AND she needs his "female" and the "black" vote to win. She couldn't even think of winning without him by her side. Maybe we're looking at payback time for "Life With A Bi***."

I took that Viking phrase in her book and the "First Mate" quip as VERY derogatory.

[Billthedrill]

I did just now, at your suggestion. I really do think it was an attempt to put his party in general more outside this media circus than it is now in the eyes of the public - Bush is holding all the cards and Clinton knows it. It's a matter of "looking Presidential." Standing there with egg on one's face after, say, Saddam's little thugs and maybe Saddam himself, are neutralized, and perhaps even some good news from the new Iraqi government as well comes to pass, and Bush ends up looking like the only one in town who predicted it, simply isn't "Presidential." You will note how quickly Hillary! has pulled her toe back after testing those waters herself.

Pending some really horrible disaster the antiwar surge in the media will fail the Democrats just as it did in 1972, and for the same reason, timing. Had McGovern come along in 1968 or that election happened in 1970 it might have been different. Had Bush intervened in Iraq in April of next year it might have been different. But as it is, it's nothing but the hopeful bleating of a predestined loser.

Dean disagrees. For him the issue is one of creating an image that differentiates him from his rivals. This certainly does that, but at the risk of placing his party in a platform position where a failed Dean candidacy drags them all down with him, as happened in '72. Clinton knows what to do when your opponent is holding a winning hand, as Gingrich and the Republicans did in 1994, and that is to co-opt it for one's own platform, as he did, and rode to subsequent re-election. I suspect that if Hillary! runs at all in 2004 she'll be wearing a hawk's feathers.

I told some numb liberal suckhole over on Slate that the Girondists were being purged. Looks like the Jacobins have already taken over....

They just await Hillary to play Mme LaFarge.

[PhilDragoo]

Personally I was shocked at what Clinton said the other night and would sure like to know what his motive was!

You can't be serious! You see what I must deal with! My years of struggle against lies, stupidity, ignorance, cowardice, FJB's, VRWC's, and those who say that I am somehow unpatriotic simply because I happen to disagree with this administration!

[PhiKapMom]

ROFLOL!!! That is priceless!

[PhiKapMom]

I agree with you and First Mate to me was derogatory as well!

[Mo1]

Personally I was shocked at what Clinton said the other night and would sure like to know what his motive was!

Read his speeches .. he to mentioned the nuke programs in his SOTU and other speeches

The Dems can't go after Bush without going after Clinton

State of the Union 1998

Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade, and much of his nation’s wealth, not on providing for the Iraqi people but on developing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. The United Nations weapons inspectors have done a truly remarkable job, finding and destroying more of Iraq’s arsenal than was destroyed during the entire Gulf War. Now, Saddam Hussein wants to stop them from completing their mission. I know I speak for everyone in this chamber, Republicans and Democrats, when I say to Saddam Hussein, you cannot defy the will of the world. And when I say to him, you have used weapons of mass destruction before.We are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again.

[blackbart.223]

I wonder what will happen when Dean and The Queen Bee Hillary butt heads to see who should run for president in 2004?

[PhiKapMom]

ROFLOL!!!!!! That is great!

[PhiKapMom]

That is a great question. I had heard earlier that the convention being held in Boston was to annoint Kerry, but now I am beginning to wonder just who they will pick!

In some ways I wish Hillary would run so she could be squashed like a cockroach!

[Mo1]

And that isn't the only time he's mentioned it.

I was up till 4 am reading his dang speeches, I had to finally call it quits or I'd lose my mind

He can ramble on with them

[Mo1]

In some ways I wish Hillary would run so she could be squashed like a cockroach!

I wouldn't rule her out yet

[blackbart.223]

"In some ways I wish Hillary would run so she could be squashed like a cockroach!"

I believe Hillary is going to make a run for it. If she does, The Dems are in big trouble methinks.

[Mo1]

Oh BTW before I forget .. I found this one last night that you might enjoy

I ask you to vote up or down on judicial nominations and other important appointees. (Applause.)
Bill Clinton's SOTU 2000
