"I just finished watching "First Mothers" on The History Channel. Every president's mother was a woman of character and accomplishment, women of faith and character, and THEN we get to Bill Clinton, and the whole program took a downturn. Harry Thomason was on and his comment was amazing. He said that Virginia Kelley would enter a room and if everyone was paying attention to her but one person, she would wonder what was wrong with that person. Thomasson said Bill Clinton is exactly like his mother.
The other presidents inherited courage, duty, compassion, and faith from their mothers. Clinton inherited an obsessive need to be popular. Some legacy." - Miss Marple
"Will this program be repeated? My son insisted on watching some Blue Water fish program!" - Carolinamom

It is Swahili and it is what the workers call the plantation owner.
Thanks. I didn't understand it either. How is anyone meant to get an obscure reference like that?

So true! One of the great strengths of Free Republic.
BTW, I am surprised that "Bwana" can be considered obscure - showing my age (and the age of Cian) ;>)

I love it: "metallic voice." I've called her (Hillary) the Iron Maiden before, but maybe now I'll start calling her Metallica.Hey, now, that's totally uncalled for! I think Phantom Lord will agree, you'd be undeservedly blaspheming a great band!

Okay, bad joke. Cliff Burton is spinning in his grave.
To: MeeknMing
Clinton's problem is that since September 11 either his presidency is seen as a trivial interlude, a holiday from history between the Cold War and the present war, or - worse - he's set up as the designated Neville Chamberlain figure, the weak man who never appreciated the enormity of the threat.
My sentiments exactly. Good article. Thanks Meek.

You're welcomed, Victoria.

"according to some rumours, there is an Iraqi link to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, but Clinton chose to ignore it because it suited him politically to blame the bombing on the broader "climate of hate" created by Right-wing militias and conservative radio hosts. There'll be a lot more of this before it's all over." So the Senator from New York, Bubba's right hand woman, knew all about the Iraqi & radical islamic threat as well as the possibility of the WTC attack before Sept 11? YOWSA!!Don Imus actually intimated this a long time ago. This is very very scary.
