CLINTON LIES - SHOCK HORROR:

Will Saletan has another example of something Maureen Dowd has also mentioned in the past - that the Bush administration tried to increase the levels of arsenic in the drinking water. Who repeated that hoary old canard? None other than former president Bill Clinton at the Iowa State Fair, saying that the Republicans "tried to put more arsenic in the water." He knows that it was his administration that delayed new, tighter arsenic standards for eight years, and that all the incoming Bush administration did was to review the last-minute directives from the Clinton White House, before enforcing a standard that was stricter than was the case for all of the Clinton administration. But, hey, who's listening any more to that incorrigible old rogue? The blogosphere, that's who. - 12:04:53 AM

Bush should have put the arsenic in Jacques CHirac's tea. As Lady Astor once threatened to do to Sir Winston Churchill on the floor of Parliament.

Of course, there's a big difference between allowable limits of arsenic in the water and "putting" arsenic in the water. Bill's brilliance is in his ability to tell a whopper.

I don't even think arsenic would be able to do away with Bubba....maybe it's time we tried an exorcism! I'll get the pea soup but we still need some holy water.

Maybe a stake through the heart and a bowie knife decapitation. The way Mr. Morris finally did in Count Dracula. It would be fitting irony, the bowie knife is afterall nicknamed 'The Arkansas Toothpick'.

As Lady Astor once threatened to do to Sir Winston Churchill on the floor of Parliament.

And Sir Winston threatened to drink it.

Yes, indeed ;)

[Old Sarge]

Maybe a stake through the heart and a bowie knife decapitation.

Neither of which was the traditional method of destroying a vampire. And we have them to this day.

Just like William the Impeached and She Who Must Not Be Named.

Back early in X42's first term I wondered how he could get up there & tell such whoppers with a straight face.

Now I realize the democratic constituency is eager for lies. They hate the truth and want to be deceived, and love every dogma-validating lie.

There must be a scientific name for this apparent mass affliction but I haven't a clue what it is.

It just strikes me as at least creepy, and at worst dangerous.

Lady Astor: "Mr. Churchill, you're drunk!"

Winston Churchill: "Yes, and you, Madam, are ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober."

[Stultis]

As Lady Astor once threatened to do to Sir Winston Churchill on the floor of Parliament.

And Sir Winston threatened to drink it.

Most have heard this one anyway, but just in case you need to include the conditional that was expressed. It went something like:

Lady Astor: If I were your wife I would poison your coffee.

Churchill: My Lady, if I were your husband, I would drink it.

What is most notable about comments like this from an @sshole like Bill Clinton is that the Democratic Party has no qualms about tailoring their message for an audience of people with an average IQ of about 45.

Back when Voldemort had occupied the White House for 100 days and the media was making a big deal about his accomplishments, a magazine (probably American Spectator) had a list titled 'The first 100 lies'. The one that was most offensive to me was his claim that Ronald Reagan had voted for him. Anyhow, when that horrible eight years was finally over, I threw out all the hateklinton stuff because I thought the nightmare had ended. Now I wish I had that list. Does anyone have it??

What's really funny about this "arsenic" stuff is that in one of the many books I read, it talked about a conversation x42 had with his goons just before he left office. One of the goons made a statement about some of the little "bombs" they had purposely left for the Bush Admin. The arsenic turned out to be one of them.

How juvenile was that ..??

[ChemistCat]

Let's just make water so expensive in places like New Mexico that people end up homeless, unable to afford it. That's a GREAT idea.

People have no idea that tighter standards dramatically increase the cost of necessities. If you're worried about the arsenic in the drinking water, filter it. But you don't need to water your lawn or bathe with water that is ten times that expensive...and very, very slightly lower in arsenic.

Did you know that the standards these greenies want are so outrageously unreasonable that they are asking for less than one arsenic ion per liter? There is absolutely no way to detect quantities anywhere near that small. Not for a million dollars a gallon could you be sure of meeting a standard like that.

[MHGinTN]

Geepers, that's in bad taste!

Smart Kitty. I studied some air pollution meteorology. A GCMS (top of the line model) wouldn't even get close to that accurate. Imagine the time and expense to run the entire water supply of Houston, Tx through a giant GCMS. Purely a BS issue.

[Aarchaeus]

time we tried an exorcism! I'll get the pea soup but we still need some holy water.

Yeah! And then put a wooden stake through his heart just to make sure!

[shaggy eel]

,,, someone had to do it.

NZ rascal ...
