And that's a stain he'll have to live with for the rest of his life.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

That was a great day to be alive, and I remember FR being at the forefront of all that happened. I actually had hope back then that the political landscape could change. Then, of course, the Senate had to remind us what government's all about.

This letter is making its way around the Internet:

Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one involved does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie, "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonments from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.

9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars--- I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more well deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned dollar than jet fuel for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, your family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society.

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!

13. And, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her upcoming "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay?

14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth?

What a guy!! If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on.

God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.

SINCERELY,

A US Citizen


PS. Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful factual e-mail.

AND THE REST OF THE STORY

Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.

(Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?)

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies.

Guess who pays for that? WE DO!

It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York.

Makes sense.

They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life.

Still makes sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting.

Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents.

The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff-and, this is all perfectly legal!

When she runs for President, will you vote for her?

[HankReardon]

The Senate sold us out, read the book by the honorable democrat, David Schippers "Sell Out", he represented Paula Jones and "we the people" against the powerful. No Senators visited the evidence room at the Senate. They were more concerned about how the American people would react to a conviction than doing their duty. Clinton should have been impeached AND CONVICTED for China. No, we will not "get over it", we will not "move on", should this apply to John Walker Lindh?

[cyncooper]

also, who in the commie media will be brave enough to mention this????

Doesn't that just say it all. It ought to be mentioned on every station, but if Fox makes note of it I'll be surprised. Oh, Brit might say something during his program.

Just as it was noted earlier in the thread about Clinton's disbarrment. That is something that should be noted by commentators much more often, if it ever is.

The pattern with Clinton and reporting on him is one of studious ignoring of facts, instead offering the spin provided by the Clinton machine.

Conversely, every trumped up bit of information that can be twisted to put Bush or Cheney or anyone in that administration in a bad light is mentioned as many times as possible. One current example is Halliburton and Cheney's name being tossed in gratuitously.

[Samwise]

Not because I thought he didn't deserve it, but because I was so heartbroken that the country had come to that.

I remember listening to Lindsey Graham. He, too, was brokenhearted that he had to vote to impeach the President. He was really torn up. The two of you have kinder souls than I do. I was so outraged by what he had done to this country that I had no room for sorrow.

[Tijeras_Slim]

You're probably right, but what may be the accepted history 100 years from now is small comfort. I want a perp walk! (Like that will ever happen)

[Hemingway's Ghost]

No Senators visited the evidence room at the Senate.

That still gets me to this day. I will never forget that. Not one Senator thought that looking at the evidence would make a difference.

That, and the awful footnote in the Starr report insinuating that a tongue was placed where no tongue ever should go . . .

[Carolina]

Impeachment is forever

[BureaucratusMaximus]

I wasn't sad that "Clinton" was impeached - I was heartbroken that the "President of the United States" had so disgraced himself as to make it necessary to do so.

Don't worry Nina...the people that know how to read coherently understood what you meant.

[HankReardon]

Hey! You're # 69 dude!

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

It was much worse than that.
The action of the senate a short time later is the point at which the Republic ceased to exist.

The whole thing was just a dog and pony show, considering the affair started with bribery and extortion and the free flow of Communist Chinese money into the pockets of both alleged parties, from Ken Starr to the Clintons themselves and everyone in between, and ended with a trivial bit of nonsense involving a pervert and a slut.

Clinton should have been hanged for treason but both parties' utter corruption assured nothing would be done except to seal all the evidence for fifty years.

The lesson of Clinton's impeachment is that both parties are totally corrupt and a policy of mutually assured destruction prevents anything ever happening to change things.

The Republic is dead! Long live the Empire!

[KC Burke]

Livingston's resignation speech was one of the most honorable selfless acts by a sitting politician to have occured in my lifetime. I watched, awestruck, with eyes briming.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I think there was something like 120 daily newspapers around the country CALLING FOR HIS RESIGNATION. Even some of the papers we despise.

How this man can walk around so smug and have groupies still at his feet, is amazing. Talk about a double standard. Remember what happened to the last Republican who was impeached. Disgraced for life.

[Alberta's Child]

He should have revealed it five years ago.

[nina0113]

I'm coming around to the idea that the Republicans in the Senate did not want him removed because they did not want to give Al Gore that edge for 2000. When I first heard that theory, I thought it was tin-foil-hat material, but I haven't seen anything else that makes sense.

I work in DC, and went to the trial repeatedly. People with blue tickets (which anyone could get) only got to stay for 15 minutes, people with yellow tickets (the "special" people) got to stay as long as they wanted, and didn't have to wait in the line, either. I remember standing in line and seeing two yellow-ticket people blowing past, laughing & joking about something totally unrelated, and being infuriated that such undeserving folk had the tickets that obviously SHOULD have been mine.

[primeval patriot]

He'll always be the impeached ex-president to me.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Hey! You're # 69 dude!

The most wonderful number in the world!

[Fresh Wind]

If C*****n had resigned, or been removed from office, Algore would have become president, and he would probably have been elected in 2000. That would REALLY suck. Saddam and the Taliban would still be in power, and Lord knows how many more terrorist attacks we would have suffered. It seemed awful at the time, but by fighting it out, C*****n actually did the country a favor.
