Q ERTY6 bump!

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Doris Kearns Goodwin and those 400 other hog-and-bow-tied-save-clinton, retrograde-obsessing historiographers decide, in the end, to strike the depraved duo from their tomes??!!

 

 
 
 
I think that history will view this much differently. They will say I made a bad personal mistake, I paid a serious price for it, but that I was right to stand and fight for my country and my constitution and its principles...

-----the First Psychopath, himself

 
 
 
 
...[bill clinton], a man who will be regarded in the history books as one of our greatest presidents.

-----Al Gore at clinton's post-impeachment rally

 

I suspect that, to spite us all,

Arthur Schlesinger will live to 120
just so he can write
the definitive clinton hagiography.

History Lesson
by Mia T
 
Someone--was it Maupassant?--
once called history "that excitable and lying old lady."
The same can be said of historians.
 
Surely it can be said of Doris Kearns Goodwin,
the archetypical pharisaical historian,
not-so-latently clintonoid,
Lieberman-Paradigmatic
(i.e., clinton is an unfit president;
therefore clinton must remain president),
intellectually dishonest,
(habitually doing what the Arthur Schlesingers of this world do:
making history into the proof of their theories).
 
The Forbids 400's argument is shamelessly spurious.
They get all unhinged over the impeachment of clinton,
claiming that it will
"leave the presidency permanently disfigured and diminished,
at the mercy as never before of the caprices of any Congress."
 
Yet they dismiss the real and present--and future!!--danger
to the presidency and the country
of not impeaching and removing
this admittedly unfit, (Goodwin)
"documentably dysfunctional," (NYT)
presidency-diminishing, (Goodwin)
power-abusing,
psychopathic thug.
 
Doris Kearns Goodwin and those 400 other
hog-and-bow-tied-save-clinton,
retrograde-obsessing historiographers
are a supercilious, power-hungry,
egomaniacal lot in their own right.
 
For them, clinton validates
what Ogden Nash merely hypothesized:
Any buffoon can make history,
but only a great man can write it.

Your posts are pretty as can be (and informative, interesting, etc.) but man, they take awhile to load.

Good Lord! Doesn't that just take your breath away? In the first place, Bill and Hillary Clinton do not believe in the United States Constitution, nor do either of them believe in the Oath of Office they took, Bills oath for the presidency and Hillary for the Senate. They began both careers with a lie! Fight for his country? Bill Clinton never fought for his country in his life! All he has ever fought for is power and money for himself and the DNC. Now we see the Mrs. doing the same thing. Neither would know a principal if it jumped up and bit them!
