- 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...

- 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," (The New York Times)
- 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.
