Mr. Clinton took care in his speech to avoid directly attacking the man who succeeded him as president, and he did not mention Mr. Bush by name. Nonetheless, the remarks seemed designed to offer Democrats a road they could follow to unseat the Republicans in 2004, while at least suggesting a contrast between the records of these two presidents.

Defining the clintons and clintonism: Nov. 5, 2002 and Q ERTY

by Mia T | November 13, 2002

 

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!

~Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

 

 

The irony of the clinton Keyboard Caper, the inspiration for my Q ERTY SERIES, is that whereas we "didn't need those Ws to define the clintons," it was precisely a "W" -- Dubya -- who finally defined the clintons and clintonism.

Because he did so by counterexample, Dubya accomplished this feat with exquisite -- and seemingly effortless -- precision, subtlety and brilliance.

Dubya's love defined clinton hate

Dubya's courage defined clinton cowardice

Dubya's character defined clinton corruption

Dubya's plain talk defined clinton doublespeak

Dubya's competence defined clinton ineptitude

Dubya's unselfconsciousness defined clinton solipsism and self-aggrandizement

Dubya's selflessness defined clinton egocentricity, self-protection and self-enrichment

Dubya's morality defined clinton deconstruction and subversion

Dubya's charity defined clinton greed

Dubya's straightforwardness defined clinton sleight of hand

Dubya's reverence defined clinton rapacity

Dubya's inventiveness defined clinton rigidity and devastation

Dubya's humility defined clinton megalomania

Dubya's focus defined clinton aimlessness

Dubya's leadership defined clinton poll-following demagoguery

Dubya's inclusiveness defined clinton balkanizing

Dubya's compassion defined clinton intolerance

Dubya's principles defined clinton expediency

Dubya's prudence defined clinton recklessness

Dubya's sanity defined clinton dysfunction

Dubya's patriotism defined clinton sedition

Dubya's loyalty defined clinton perfidy

Dubya's brilliance defined clinton banality

Dubya's greatness defined clinton smallness

Historians will record that Dubya's definition of the clintons and clintonism was formalized by the people on November 5, 2002.

Q ERTY9

His attacks on Mr. Bush's terrorism policy came after a year in which Republicans accused Mr. Clinton of failing to hunt down Osama bin Laden or dismantle Al Qaeda when he was in office.

YOO-HOO MR NAGOURNEY!
THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS IS FROM THE LEFTIST LA TIMES:
 
Clinton's failure to grasp the opportunity to unravel increasingly organized extremists, coupled with Berger's assessments of their potential to directly threaten the U.S., represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history

Former President Bill Clinton said yesterday that the Democratic Party had lost the midterm elections because its candidates had failed to offer a convincing case that the party could manage national security during dangerous times.

This bozo has completely lost what was left of his little head. He needs to reexamine his own "presidency" to find any problem with public confidence.

Mr. Clinton said the Republicans were benefiting from the support of an "increasingly right-wing and bellicose conservative press," which he contrasted with "an increasingly docile establishment press."

"no infrastructure"

by Mia T, 12-17-01
 
"I have no infrastructure to deal with this."

bill clinton

 

 

One of the unintended consequences of America's rejection of mandated political correctness is that legends crumble.
 
The classic case is that of Bill Clinton. The conventional wisdom has been (even from his critics) that notwithstanding policy and philosophy disagreements Bill Clinton was/is a smart, charming, even brilliant man.
 
The reality that is becoming increasingly clear to those willing to see is that "The President Clinton Package" and his team of advisers, managers, and spin doctors, were smart, charming and at times brilliant.

 

 
 

However, left to his own devices and without the support, advice, counsel and coercive powers of office, Bill is (for the second time in two months) emphatically demonstrating he ain't all that smart.

 

Bill's big yap:

What was done to Tom Daschle was unconscionable,

YOO-HOO Mr. clinton, you brave, loyal man, you:
What you did to the women, to the children and to the country was "UNCONSCIONABLE"

but our refusal to stand up and defend him in a disciplined way was worse," he said.

"We cannot wilt in the face of higher negative ratings for our leaders," he said. "They have a destruction machine. We don't have a destruction machine.

We're not inflicting pain on these f*ckers.
When people kill us, they should be killed in greater numbers.
I believe in killing people who try to hurt you.
And I can't believe we're being pushed around by these two-bit pricks.

All Too Human: A Political Education, Bill Clinton, quoted by George Stephanopoulos

  

 
Mrs. Clinton was still flush with her triumph in New York [i.e., Today VRWC interview] when she returned on Tuesday afternoon to join Harry Thomason's vigil in the solarium.
"I guess that will teach them to f*ck with us," the first lady said.

In questioning Mr. Bush's record on terrorism, Mr. Clinton took note of a number of indications investigators said they had before Sept. 11 that something might be afoot. For example, he said two F.B.I. agents had discovered that Middle Eastern men were involved in flight-training schools and had shown no interest in landing or taking off ó only in flying.

"There are a couple of thousand flight schools in America," Mr. Clinton said. "It wouldn't have been that hard to check them all."

In fact, just what the hijackers wanted to learn in flight school has been a subject of debate.

Billy Clinton is a rapist/mamas boy. His partner? I can't figure out what she/he is.

She's kinda like Michael Jackson with her obsession of “The Children”.

One thing for certain, we are not rid of them yet!

Mr. Clinton, second-guessing the strategy employed by Congressional leaders, said that to many Democrats and independent voters, "we were missing in action on national security

and we had no positive plan for America's domestic future." He added: "When people are feeling insecure, they'd rather have someone who is strong and wrong rather than somebody who is weak and right."

Humpty Dummies

 

Mr. Clinton's address came at a time when his party has been roiled by internal debate about what went wrong

Notwithstanding Mr. Clinton's offer of advice and comfort to his party, his own name has come up more than once as party leaders seek to figure out precisely what went wrong on Nov. 5.

In his speech, Clinton is setting up the crowd to become open to accepting a New Leader, not one who is charismatic like Clinton, who they followed willingly.

Bill Clinton is being called out to empower the New Leader with allegiance based on fervor alone!

Bill Clinton is in effect, transferring allegiance to someone new! The troops MUST pledge complete allegiance to the new appointed Leader, without question, in complete devotion for the "cause."

New Leader. Hillary Rodham

Where have we have seen the type of fervor that Bill Clinton is asking for? ...Where the leader was followed no matter where or why, until the entire Nation was destroyed and only at the end did some awaken from their sleepwalk, but too late?

Nazi Germany.
