We are in the opening stages of World War III. And Clinton helped us get there.
Jack Kennedy's ghost-written book, for which he received a Doris Kearns Godwin Pulitzer Prize (which is to say he didn't really earn it the old fashioned way), was called Why England Slept, It recounted how and why England found itself largely unprepared for WW II, when Germany invaded Poland and the war began in earnest.
What we are finding out now, is that Clinton offered the same services to America in his eight years. Of course, his myriad scandals would have been less had he merely "slept," but that is another, scumbag story that need not be repeated here.
Remember the claims that Clinton was capable of "compartmentalizing" and "multi-tasking"? All that means is he was capable of screwing up many aspects of American foreign policy and American domestic policy at the same time. Better we should have had a dolt like Jimmy Carter at the helm. He lacked the capacity of doing so may things wrong, simultaneously.
Heck, even Michael Dukakis would have been better, Now there's a scary thought.
As a FReeper whose name I wish I could recall, so cogently remarked in these threads, "I despised him then, I despise him now. I will despise him until he dies. And then I will despise his memory."

I came to the realization that it's pointless. The reason it's pointless is demonstrated by the people that will once again defend Clinton with all the usuall excuses.
But they're not the reason it's pointless. The reason is because so many people that I know personally; intelligent, thoughtful, decent people refuse to open one eye even to a squint and see the obvious truth. And if those pople won't see, how are you going to convice people that don't pay any attention at all?
It's hopeless.

---GEORGE WILL, Sleaze, the sequel |
Had George Will written Sleaze, the sequel (the "sequel" is, of course, hillary) after 9-11-01, I suspect that he would have had to forgo the above conceit, as the doubt expressed in the setup phrase was, from that day forward, no longer operational. (Charlie Rose-colored glasses--an April Fool's joke?-- notwithstanding) REALITY-CHECK bump! |
Had George Will written Sleaze, the sequel (the "sequel" is, of course, hillary) after 9-11-01, I suspect that he would have had to forgo the above conceit, as the doubt expressed in the setup phrase was, from that day forward, no longer operational. Indeed, assessing the clinton presidency an abject failure is not inconsistent with commentary coming from the left, most recently the LA Times: "Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize." When the clintons left office, I predicted that the country would eventually learn--sadly, the hard way--that this depraved, self-absorbed and inept pair had placed America (and the world) in mortal danger. But I was thinking years, not months. It is very significant that hillary clinton didn't deny clinton culpability for the terrorism. (Meet the Press, 12-09-01), notwithstanding tired tactics (if you can't pass the buck, spread the blame) and chronic "KnowNothing Victim Clinton" self-exclusion. If leftist pandering keeps the disenfranchized down in perpetuity, clinton pandering,("it's the economy, stupid"), kept the middle and upper classes wilfully ignorant for eight years. And ironically, both results (leftist social policy and the clinton economy) are equally illusory, fraudulent. It is becoming increasingly clear that clinton assiduously avoided essential actions that would have negatively impacted the economy--the ultimate source of his continued power--actions like, say, going after the terrorists. It is critically important that hillary clinton fail in her grasp for power; read Peggy Noonan's little book, 'The Case Against Hillary Clinton' and Barbara Olson's two books; it is critical that the West de-clintonize, but that will be automatic once it is understood that the clintons risked civilization itself in order to gain and retain power. It shouldn't take books, however, to see that a leader is a dangerous, self-absorbed sicko. People should be able to figure that out for themselves. The electorate must be taught to think, to reason. It must be able to spot spin, especially in this age of the electronic demagogue. I am not hopeful. As Bertrand Russell noted, "Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. " *George Will continues: There is reason to believe that he is a rapist ("You better get some ice on that," Juanita Broaddrick says he told her concerning her bit lip), and that he bombed a country to distract attention from legal difficulties arising from his glandular life, and that. ... Furthermore, the bargain that he and his wife call a marriage refutes the axiom that opposites attract. Rather, she, as much as he, perhaps even more so, incarnates Clintonism

Quote Of The Day nominee, definitely.
I submit he did it for money. If you read "Shakedown," the arabs were contributing heavily to the DNC!!
