Former White House consigliere James Carville inadvertently admitted on Sunday that while his former boss Bill Clinton served as president of the United States, his top priority was his own sex life. Carville's comment was offered in the heat of an argument with his wife, Mary Matalin, over whether the Bush administration had lied about arrangements for the president's visit to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln last week. It went unnoticed until WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg reviewed the Carville quote for his Sunday overnight audience. A transcript of the Clinton spinmeister's remarks, delivered just hours before on "Meet...

The leftist attempt to paint the Enron bankruptcy as a Bush scandal includes a badly made-for-TV movie produced by CBS called "The Crooked E." The spin in the fictional world of Hollywood was that the Bush administration, wooed by Enron dollars, helped the corrupt executives steal from the poor and working class heroes. If you followed this spin, it was clear that Enron had no contact with the U.S. government prior to George W. Bush coming into office. According to CBS, Enron simply did not exist prior to George W. Bush. Yet the CBS TV sit-com and its leftist spin...

I purchased a book the other day at a Borders in downtown Chicago and while the sales clerk rang me up his eyes widened at the sight of the cover. I assumed he was going to give me a lecture about Clinton bashing (it has happened before) and how I should not support it by buying books “obsessed with him.” Gladly, no lecture was forthcoming. Instead he asked quizzically, “What is that in his mouth? My Gosh, that looks like a joint.” Then it was I whose eyes widened. I took the book out of his hand and studied the...

Former President Clinton lost the codes to nuclear war the day the Monica Lewinsky affair broke, was MIA in the fall of 1998 when a decision was needed on the killing of Osama bin Laden, and was "too busy watching a golf match" to OK a 1996 bombing mission in Iraq, says a blockbuster new book by Clinton's former military aide. Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, who carried the nuclear "football" from May 1996 to May 1998, crosses a line no other "mil aide" has before in condemning his commander in chief in Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How...

February 19, 2001 In eight years as President, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton each issued roughly 400 pardons. But in their final days, just 10 trickled out of Reagan's White House, while 177 flooded out of Clinton's. And Marc Rich's pardon isn't the only one that appalled federal prosecutors. While most of the 177 were for minor drug and fraud offenses, roughly a third raise serious questions. A TIME analysis of the pardon fever--the symptoms included well-connected lawyers and pols pulling strings, bypassing the Justice Department and sending petitions directly to the White House, often at the last minute--turned up...

Hell to Pay : The Unfolding Story of Hillary Rodham Clinton by Barbara Olson Hell to Pay is yet another book on Hillary Rodham Clinton, this time from a conservative lawyer who served as the Republican chief counsel for the congressional committee investigating the Clintons' involvement in "Travelgate" and "Filegate." Barbara Olson traces the now familiar biographies of the president and first lady, contending that Mrs. Clinton is someone with dangerously liberal, even radical, political beliefs who "now seeks to foment revolutionary changes from the uniform of a pink suit." (Olson plays the theme heavily: each chapter of Hell...

Former President Clinton is visiting an elementary school and drops in on the 4th grade class. The class is in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the Ex-President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word "tragedy." So, Clinton asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." A little boy raises his hand and after a nod from Clinton says: "My best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over. That would be a...

<p>Does character matter? Only one presidential term ago, this was a question that supposedly intelligent people took seriously and debated across the nation. Many people rationalized corrupt personal behavior on the part of our leader as separate and distinct from his ability to effectively govern a country.</p>
