Where do I start?

"Yeah, Gray Davis and I have been friends for a long time and I don't want this to happen to him, but this is way bigger than him," Clinton said. "He's been elected governor twice. He's had a wonderful life. He's going to be just fine. It's you I'm worried about. It's California I'm worried about. I don't want you to become a laughingstock, a carnival or the beginning of a circus in America where we just throw people out as soon as they make a tough decision."

"It's you I'm worried about". Ohhhh boy, is that a classic sociopathic remark. What old Bill is really saying is that he's worried that it will reflect poorly on him, should the sheep think with their heads.

When Clinton and Davis entered the church, cheers drowned out the choir. Attorney General Bill Lockyer carried his infant baby on stage for Clinton to cradle as a church camera focused on them.

I'm going to trade my beer for Maalox in a minute.

Davis made brief remarks, telling the audience that "powerful forces" are behind the recall but that he carries around a phrase in his pocket that reads, "Nothing can happen to me today that the Lord and I cannot handle." Davis then pulled out a small card with a picture of Jesus on it, wrapped in plastic, and showed it to the crowd.

Powerful forces meaning California voters who have had enough of your lies and incompetence. Religion is the last refuge of a scoundrel, you bum. At least you could have removed the shrinkwrap off Jesus' pic before you commited blasphemy...

The governor got a wild cheer when he referred to Clinton as "president" instead of "former president" and then corrected himself. "Some days I wake up and wish he were still president," he said.

Awww looky, the whore misses his pimp : (

"I listen to all these kinda funny candidates and all their funny slogans," Clinton said, laughing. "It beats watching 'Friends' or reading or watching TV. I just watch California. But after a couple of days, it's not funny anymore."

Yeah Bill we feel your pain. After a couple of years in office, you weren't too funny either...

"Don't you think they would have recalled me after a couple years as president?"

Hey sinkmaster, you don't recall Presidents, you IMPEACH THEM. Remember??? Of course you don't remember that. That would be inconvenient.

I think I'll create a new drink: Vodka, Maalox, and ice...whirl in blender. I'll call it the "Yapping Clinton"....

Thanks for the nomination! };^D)

Did anyone notice the comment Clinton made when the audience first greeted him with applaud.Something like, you make me think I'm still the President. What a inappropriate thing to say. I hope freepers will comment on this remark.

Yesterday at the Iowa Rally .. the guy annouced Clinton as .. "The President of the United States"

Shock can do wonders for a nation. I'm sure many have followed the same path. Clinton = new Republican voters.

I second that!!!!

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

Dunno, but I'd like to know!
Of course if you were to even inquire about it, you'd be called a racsist bigot!!

Yepper. They'd just be slinging that Marxist propaganda like a squirt on a blue dress.

I heard it too, but what can you say about it? He's being what he has always been, and always will be. There is no depth to which he will not lower himself, and there's no shame he will ever feel. How one human can be so empty on the inside, so devoid of any decent quality, well......

And the sheeple continue to worship at his feet.

[Publius6961]

OK OK
Sorry.

I thought I did...

[mrtysmm]

Add a slice of pineapple, a cherry and don't forget the 'bumbershoot'. Party, party!.....

Hey, the ACLU in past may have been an honorable institution, but now that the liberal mentality has infested it like a cancer, it`s just one more vile group of US haters who are now doing everything in their power to destroy it. The most people can do is just vote liberals out of existence, just pull the rug right from under them, but a lot of people don`t realize what they`re all about. Why? Because the MEDIA ignores it! I mean is there ANYTHING more vile than choosing to defend a group like NAMBLA that promotes the rape of kids? Are they freggin` kidding me? I bet 90% of the people in this country don`t even know about that, and as long as they are kept in the dark about liberals and their EVIL, people will keep voting for them. Just about every week, a new liberal comment or action comes my way, and it just blows my mind what they get away with. The latest being the PBS documentary of 911, where they promoted the destruction of the towers on"globalization" and US greed etc etc..They had on one
journalist describing the events on 911 said "when the towers fell it was poetic justice." SAY WHAT?? People falling from the towers is "poetic justice?" 3000 innocent people being slaughtered is "poetic justice"?And this guy was a writer (probably for the NY Times) Where`s the outrage? Why isn`t the media all over this guys ass? Meanwhile an interview that Arnold Schwarzenneger did 26 years ago is protested and hounded to death!

Do republicans go and speak at churches? I have never seen it where I live.

[c-b 1]

Occasionally a Republican running for local office will.

[Publius6961]

Please, someone... anyone.

Is there a link to a transcript of that remarkable Clinton speech?

I need to find it. A classic example of arrogance mixed with condescension, and spiced with runaway Elmer-Grantry-ism.

If it weren't so diabolical I could laugh.
