With the media there is never any doubt.......they hate the president and they hate all his supporters too.

I have never heard about Clinton raping a women in England. Is there proof of this? Anything documented? He is such a sleeze, that it is probably true. Sure wish somebody would charge him and Hillary with something that would stick and they couldn't get out of. It would be so nice never to hear from them again.

The media also tried to make Pres. Bush "the dumb one", but he's the first President to have a MASTERS digree. Gore went to Viet Nam to help his father get re-elected to the senate.[he lost]. Gore then entered Trinity [sp] school and flunked out! Then he entered law school, and dropped out when he couldn't cut-it. But this stuff was never talked about.

[Wait4Truth]

So nice to hear this from a woman! Especially from a Florida paper! Sigh...George W. Bush...greatest President ever! And screw the "transformation" garbage - this man has always been a leader.

Her name is Eileen Wellston and she accused Clinton of raping her at Oxford in 1969. I'm flagging Doug because he has more info on this.

Thanks,JeanS for the post.I thoroughly enjoyed it,especially this line:

A man who can throw a perfect pitch can probably throw a pretty good spear.

[over3Owithabrain]

That pitch really was awesome! I've seen W throw out first pitches before, and I was cringing in anticipation of a two hopper to the catcher. But he flung that ball sure and easy and it nailed the strike zone - it even had a little movement breaking to the right towards the middle of the plate. It truly did symbolize the way he, and our country, has "cranked it up a few notches" and focused in on the target.

[Lady In Blue]

Bump.

[doug from upland]

He met Eileen in a pub and assaulted her. For some reason, the parents were talked out of pressing charges. Clinton was quietly removed from Oxford and thrown out of the country. Doug Thompson of CAPITOL HILL BLUE has confirmed the story through a State Department employee who knew of the incident.

LOL!

A great article, in spite of the inaccuracies already mentioned! It was a great moment, indeed, when President Bush strode out to the mound on Tuesday night and threw that aweome pitch! The stuff of legend and lore!

Thanks, I'd forgotten the details. That was probably his first rape, but not his last. Let's never forget Juanita.

Bravo for posting this Jean. Pres. Bush showed what leadership is all about. He strolled magnificently to the mound! He was a standing target for the devils and did not flinch. seemingly, all the secret service and soldiers guarding him that day were miles away. He showed me a lot and to top it off, he throws a perfect strike (which of course would have left the park if Mac, Sosa or Bonds were at bat).

I am not a baseball fan, but, I had to watch because it
was the Pres. He didn't disappoint. Impressive.

[GeekDejure]

And all the more impressive when you consider that GWB's pitching skill was somewhat inhibited, because he was wearing a bullet-proof wrap-around !!!

[kinhistorian]

I have never seen this about Clinton and I have followed his escapades since 92. I would think that Fox would have had something on about this. I am sure Hannity and a few of the others on Fox would have loved to have had factual information about this incident. Barbara Olson, I am sure, would have mentioned it in her books and her many times on tv. Why has this been kept quiet? The day Clinton was elected (in 92), I said he would be impeached. I waited for the day. And as much as I hate to say it, I was elated when he was. I am so grateful that dubya was elected. It is so nice to have someone with class in the White House, and I am sure if he is ever in need of a job, the Padres would hire him to pitch.

[Guenevere]

Thanks for the 'ping' Molly!!......Great read!

#13--Aria, I like the way you said it!...very succinctly!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

That was probably his first rape, but not his last. Let's never forget Juanita.

Or Elizabeth Ward Greyson (sp)

I guess that makes him a SERIAL RAPIST!!

George, you da man, and Osama wears a skirt.

Is Kathleen Parker a FReeper? I hope so, because the I can nominate this for quote of the day!

I laughed so hard the dog ran away!
