Anyone who had any delusions about that -- and not just people operating in some kind of prosecutorial or investigative capacity -- had plenty of exposure to the corruption and crime of the Clinton administration from 1993-96 just by reading the newspaper and/or watching the network news every day.
For Schippers to say that he voted for this corrupt, draft-dodging motherf#%&er TWICE, then claim that he suddenly "found the light" in 1998, and now (as of 2002) considers Hillary Clinton to be "evil incarnate" -- well, that's just a lot of crap as far as I'm concerned.
It's worth noting that Schippers has never -- not once -- come out and explained in detail what he learned about the Clinton administration in 1998 that he didn't already know when he voted for him in 1996.
I call "bullsh!t" on this one.
I know you're using this as a condemnation of the man generally, but I've always had a weird feeling about Billy Jeff's relationship with his momma. A real weird feeling about it.
Fair enough. You can have your opinion. And I have the right to call your responses bullsh**.
He was a Democrat living in Chicago reading Chicago papers. He was undoubtedly dismissive of the charges of corruption as being the same stuff “everybody does”.
Why should we throw a convert under the bus?
Schippers has made public charges against Bill Clinton, in print, that would be characterized as libel if Clinton wanted to take him to court. Of course Schippers and Clinton know that Clinton would have to prove the charges false.
