Jonathan Alter doesn't have a Q ERTY6 clue the clintons were utter failures (and the GOP had better exploit it) BUMP! We must take the offensive. Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference today (C-SPAN), Bob Livingston dispatched "it's the economy, stupid," the clinton mantra -- (and together with the FBI files, the only thing that kept the co-rapists in the Oval Office and out of the slammer) -- with an incisiveness and toughness not usually associated with the GOP. (Is the right finally getting it?) Livingston said the "it's the economy, stupid" clinton scheme demonstrated that the clintons and their gang "are either stupid, themselves, or they were derelict." y any measure, the Carville-Shrum scheme to attack Bush by clintonoid compartmentalization ("praise the Bush war effort / pan the Bush character and economy") isn't working. Ask any pollster or pundit. It's the terrorism...and character...stupid Compartmentalization scheme a fraud Does anyone still sentient after eight years of the clintons really believe that the clintons and their "infrastructure" really want Bush to succeed where the co-rapists failed so utterly? To sabotage Bush is merely to extend into realtime the method of legacy-building historically preferred by the clintons; that is, trash other presidents in an effort to hoist their own sorry collective heft from history's dustbin. The clintons are constitutionally incapable of understanding that the bottom line is not power or money or Nobel Peace Prizes, and certainly not misbegotten power or money or Nobel Peace Prizes. They and their minions continue to undermine the Bush war effort even as they assume poses and mouth poll-tested phrases to the contrary. But Bush sees right through this. In his State of the Union speech, Bush told us: This was a direct blow to the collective clinton scheme...and paunch...and legacy.
