THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS.....
I just got an email from a 21 year old male friend who said this, "You have to admit, though. Clinton pulled it off. 8 years of peace and prosperity. 8 years of hope for the average American. 8 years of reducing the deficit. The failed impeachment aside, his presidency on paper is the best of modern time. And he left office with a higher approval rating than Reagan. Lucky duck. Don't get me wrong, no one hates Clinton any more than I do, but I can't deny how good things went for him.
It would seem as though it's Bush's bad luck that all this crap came down when he became president. I can guarantee he won't be re-elected (mark my words on that). Not that Gore would have been any better.
Bryan.
I sent him a copy of this article that you posted. THANKS AGAIN!!!!! And I also wrote him a long email explaining why he is WRONG.

Your friend may not disagree with Oakley. Bill Clinton was a horrible sleaze and a disgraceful excuse for a human being, but he was far luckier than he had any right to be. The Internet bubble helped him, and he left before it broke. He may have cooked the books on labor statistics. Someone should investigate it. And the prosperity of the very late nineties casts a halo back over the troubled and uncertain early years of his administration. But if what your friend is saying is that Clinton was a very lucky b*st*rd, who can disagree with that?

Meredith Oakley and Mara Leveritt are two Arkansas class acts. Thanks for posting this!

It's not that times were so good, it is that the American people were told that times were so good by the media and the administration. Anytime I talk to people and hear about the foreign policy success of the Clinton administration, I lose my top. The intense pressure the media has given to questioning on Bush and Iraq was strangely absent during Clinton's follies in E. Europe, Iraq and elsewhere.

And we should not forget the late John Robert Starr of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette who took so much abuse for warning over and over about Clinton.

And he left office with a higher approval rating than Reagan. Only because Clinton's approval ratings were so bad, that they divided personal approval from job approval - just for him. He lost more than 20 points if polls were conducted where one wasn't allowed to condemn his personal behaviour before commenting on his job behaviour.

"Meredith Oakley and Mara Leveritt are two Arkansas class acts." Ms. Oakley sure had Slick Willie pegged, didn't she?!

"The failed impeachment aside,..."Actually, it was a successful impeachment. Clinton was impeached. Trent Lott and the Senate failed to hold a real trial and failed to convict, but the impeachment stands.

"His delusion, therefore, is not entirely self-induced. The strains of Camelot's anthem have followed him for 15 years because he has been able to inspire the young and the beautiful to visions of political grandeur while reassuring their elders that chivalry is not dead. They who will never be great would settle for a seat, however briefly held, at the foot of greatness. They would pardon any sin--indeed, deny its very existence--for a moment spent basking in the false and empty light of the anointed. In their adoring minds, Bill Clinton wants to be president; therefore, Bill Clinton should be president." Bingo...MUD

No amount of public adulation can remove the shame from bill clinton. All it can do is spread his slime onto his admirers.
It is honorable to praise honorable men. It is dishonorable to praise dishonorable men.

Thanks for the step back into the past. Sadly, some things just do not change; thanks to 'some people'. . .

What in the world prompted this walk down memory lane? and thanks!!!
Meredith Oakley was a prophet of things to come...along with Paul Greenberg, both of the Ark Dem Gazette. Oakley's book, ON THE MAKE (The Rise of Bill Clinton)1994, really nailed the sorry bastard, unfortunately the mainstream media wasn't interested in Clinton's sorry past.
You'll never convince me Elizabeth Drew didn't sorta steal Oakley's title.
ON THE MAKE by Oakley described Clinton's Arkansas sleaze, Elizabeth Drew wrote her book about Clinton's first year as president. She named her book ON THE EDGE.

"Bill Clinton was a horrible sleaze and a disgraceful excuse for a human being, but he was far luckier than he had any right to be."
Luck had nothing to do with it. Clinton merely covered up the terrorist attacks that occured and invented a financial boom based upon hot air.

Yep...the Political Disembowelment of Der SchleekMeister is Mandatory not only to Punish the WrongDoer, but also to make an example of Bill Clinton to all the would-be Tyrants who look to him as a Role Model!!
