The only difference is: Bill Clinton IS a rapist and it was no sham trial.

Character counts. Republicans were correct to call Clinton on his lack of it. As messy as it was, it exposed Clintons for the self serving narcissists they are.

That still wouldn't account for his inaction for WTC93, Riyahd, Kohbar or the African Embassy. No I think Somalia and the others I mentioned emboldened them.

Republicans didn't call him a rapist. His accusers did. The trial was a sham only because the sworn president committed perjury.

Impeachment scandal? Nooooo, you're not a Clinton defender. You're a journalist, right? Objective, fair, balanced?

Did not the scandal -- and WJC's subsequent perjury -- lead to the impeachment?

Your assertion that Clinton based important policy decisions on how those mean, nasty republicans might do to him is silly drivel.

The Clintons and their ilk were most successful in marginalizing their political opponents just as they marginalized the FBI and CIA.

Bill Clinton and his Satanic bride bear about 75% of the responsibilty for 9/11. The other 25% goes to the Clintonistas in various government offices. Quit shilling for them. They are criminals who serve only themselves. They care not a lick for anyone but themselves. Id rather swallow lye, than defend those two grifters on this forum.

I believe that you may be right about the effect of the impeachment trial Clinton helping embolden America's enemies, but Clinton was actually doing a fine job of that all by himself. The Clintons believe that playing patty cake with dictators is an effective foreign policy. The left complains that the Bush administration doesn't understand that the MiddleEast is not ready for Democracy and not capable of handling their own gov't, so the dictators are necessary evils. How's that for logic? If Democrats had a brain, they wouldn't be Democrats.

I can see from the other replies to your absurd comment that you have been sufficiently shredded by FReepers far more merciful than I am.

Dick Morris was in a position to know exactly what Clinton was or was not doing, and as a former Clintonista himself, he has credibility when it comes to pointing out the abysmal failure that eight years of Clinton/Gore/Reno was for America.

Pull off them blinders pal, and let the truth set you free.
