LOL...I believe we have............is this where they "all" go at night?
Can we take it? I guess that depends on who's on the panel!

Oh, Heaven help us, that idiot Susan McDougal is preening for Tina Brown now.... If she isn't botoxed stiff as a board there isn't a cow in Texas.
My mother saw Susan when she was on CSPAN talking about her book; my mother actually felt sorry for her!
That is, of course, until I got through giving my mother the facts chapter and verse.
Now she doesn't trust her own judgment.........LOL.
Christopher Hitchens...there is hope!
Wow, tet ... I'm impressed with your hi tech word processor ...
If Clinton didn't have a lap dog press behind him and let's not forget the help from Perot in 92, he would have never won.
Even though he won re-election he will be a footnote in history.
Consigned to same club as Andrew Johnson.
I'm afraid you're right. Kinda like Hitler!!
Liar Liar .................. pants on fire
and
did anyone notice how awful Dan Rather looked.
I fell out of my chair laughing hysterically over that tale she told about how angry Slick Willie told her he became when he tried to write about what happened to her. FOFLOL. Relieved that it wasnt happening to him is more like it.
Clinton is more of an economic conservative than Bush 43.
Add good ole Joe (Clintonista) Klein to the list. He thought it was very well written and said X42's summation of how Ken Starr's behavior bordered on judicial misconduct, was legally superb. (Gag)
I got some satisfaction tonight listening to the sighs and grunts from some democrats in my family who admitted they wasted their vote - twice.
With this coming so soon after the Reagan funeral, the contrast is staggering! I was around for the Reagan years and I loved him, but even I was overwhelmed by being reminded of 8 years of his achievements and decency, all compressed into one week. Clinton, on the other hand, well, if you take the fluff and the self-aggrandizement out of the interview, there's not much left but the commercials.
Only because he had no choice. He lost Congress in 1994 and they force fed him.
...Christopher Hitchens...good. Toure'...what can you say...hopeless. Michael Moore's ability to make people look stupid, beautiful characteristic to be remembered for.
The Thomassons have coached Susan McDougal to have her pouty face just perfect when she was on either C-Span or Larry King.
Do not intend to be mean to your mother, but she also may believe that soap opera's are real life. That's another talk you should have with her. :^)
Only with Republicans controlling the purse, have you no memory?

In the meantime - check whose looking out the winow in #399.
Okay, thanks. I'll check it out.
Uh huh. Sure.
You might reflect on what Clinton allowed to happen with the equities markets without any challenge and what he did with debt restructuring.
Clinton played three card monty with the economy.

Lowering the Bar
May was a bad month for presidential historians of the James Carville school. By majority vote, a six-member committee of the Arkansas Supreme Court -- at least three of whom appear to be Democrats -- recommended that Bill Clinton be disbarred for his various violations of legal ethics during the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky matters. This decision went rather far to explode the standard Carvillean thesis: that the president did nothing wrong enough to warrant any official sanction.
Less noticed was a similar and nearly as significant event. A federal judge demolished practically every complaint or allegation Carville and Co. ever made against Kenneth Starr and the Office of Independent Counsel. Dismissing three well-coordinated nuisance suits against Starr -- filed by convicted Whitewater defendant Stephen Smith, indicted Kathleen Willey witness Julie Hiatt Steele, and Francis T. Mandanici, an apparently obsessed, Starr-hating Connecticut lawyer -- district judge John F. Nangle used unusually brutal language.
The charge that Starr pressured Steele and Susan McDougal to lie and falsely implicate the president? "There's not one shred of support [for that claim] in the hundreds of pages of documents submitted" to him, Judge Nangle wrote.
The contention that Starr violated the independent counsel statute by testifying before the House Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry? "Ridiculous."
The allegation that Starr abused his power by continuing to represent tobacco companies during his supervision of the Whitewater investigation? "Nonsense...absolutely ridiculous."
The argument that some conflict of interest tainted Starr's aborted acceptance of a deanship at Pepperdine University? "Very dubious." And "the stuff that dreams are made of."
And "this Court has never heard a more absurd argument." And it is "totally illogical" and there is "no evidence" to substantiate it.
Nangle called Stephen Smith's complaints that he had been asked to lie by Starr "meritless" and "completely frivolous." And then Nangle announced that he was considering holding Mandanici in contempt of court.
We hear, by the way, that Jeffrey Toobin, the most respected scholar of the Carvillean school, is busy revising his recent book on the Lewinsky affair so as to remove a number of falsehoods about Newsweek's Michael Isikoff. Given Toobin's central thesis (that Clinton was the "good guy in this struggle"), maybe he should save some time and just remainder the thing to the fiction bins.
