That was the photo that made me fall out of love with Markie Post. Aside from the major lies, fraud, theft and treachery of the Clintons, it made the whole list of just sleazy, crappy cheap things rush back to mind. The fact that $200,000 worth of government property was stolen by visitors to their inauguration ball. All the stuff they did when they were leaving: Stripping the valuables from Air Force 1, spray painting graffiti on the White House walls, leaving pornographic messages on the White House answering machines, hiding sheets in the copiers that had curse words written on them so Bush Administration officials would accidently send them to people, prying all the W's off the White House computer keyboards, the photo on the front of Esquire, where he deliberately posed with the camera at crotch level.
When Bush came in, he could have thrown a fit at the damages, started an investigation, etc. He didn't do that, though. A lot of us wanted him to. I know I did. He said we're going to move on. I'm not sure how many of us realize how brilliant the things were that Bush did BEFORE September 11. The Dems hadn't quit piling on or attacking him up until then, but he didn't have anything he needed to apologize to them about. He was able to move forward without having to mend fences, because he hadn't wasted political capital pushing them down. Man, it is so nice to have Clinton out of the White House. I've said it before, but Bill Clinton is the only person I know who makes Barry Switzer look classy.
I quite agree. I think most of us have a few trashy relatives or "friends" that we wish we didn't- the clintons and many of their pals were like that to the nth degree....
