Well Ms. Easton, sweetheart, you gotta go some to make a splash in Texas.

Barely makes a splash anywhere. We can thank Bill Clinton for that, he lowered the bar quite a bit (or raised it depending on your point of view).

In the meantime, he has been ordered to pay $1,500 a month in child support for two of his children, Pierce, 17 and Ashley, 14.

That aught to keep their Ferraris hummin' -- it's not necessary, but what the hey -- he can afford it. And by the way, he's not been described as a saint. Any man perceived as less than perfect needs to get ripped off with the help of the government, supported by taxpayer funding. If power can't be abused, what good is it?

[Stone Mountain]

I'm sorry you got screwed. But still, as far as I'm concerned, if he's making something like a million a year, no matter what the mother is making, I don't have a problem with him paying $1500 a month in child support.

I'm not defending the child support system, btw. The system is corrupt.

[Stone Mountain]

From what I have always heard, providing a woman/call girl/hooker to top execs and others is not uncommon when you want to keep someone happy or cinch a deal.

Boy, did I go into the wrong business...

Barely makes a splash anywhere.

Yeah, bent willie did his part to instill more sensitivity/tolerance in the masses concerning things carnal. What a guy!

In all fairness though, "W" has done his part to restore some semblance of dignity to the office; notwithstanding the pot shots taken at his siblings.

"The fact that teddy wasn't run out of office is proof alone that he was 'coddled.' Trent Lott was run out of office on far less and so were other non-dems. Not only was Lott not coddled, he was unfairly villified. Afterall, we still have a former kkk member -- a demoncrat -- still in the Senate. My point is the Republicans and Conservatives are not given passes like the kennedys and all dems."

Yessssss!
You GO girl!

Oh yea, & don't forget a few of other famous mediot *smear-hits* ala Gingrich, Livingston, Dr.Schlesinger *or* Limbaugh?

...& a few dozen others.

"Well, at least it wasn't a live boy or a dead girl."

At least it wasn't in the Oval Office!

[cyncooper]

LOL!

I just saw Ron Reagan on MSNBC! He was in front of a map of the US on Hardball, and I walked in at the tail end, but I can guess from the context he'll be joining in commentary and analysis for the primary season.

Well, naturally I thought of our conversation yesterday and thought I'd let you know!

:)

[Donna Lee Nardo]

What business did you go into?

[jaugust]

"Also, there is nothing novel about getting rich in an industry that you know relatively little about. It's quite common."

LOL Then I must be in the wrong business!!

Still, said Rice University political science professor Bob Stein, "there is a family pattern here where the Bush sons - Jeb, Neil and George - have benefited tremendously by their connections through their father."

You could say the same for the sons and daughters of many famous people; The Kennedys, The Rockefellers, The Vanderbilts, and many others. It is expected of the children of the well connected that they'll make use of those contacts in order to further their own ambitions.

[Sam Cree]

Well, I think even ordinary people do their best to help their children. Hadn't really known there was anything wrong with it.

Hi Suzi.

[ForGod'sSake]

Oh yea, & don't forget a few of other famous mediot *smear-hits*...

The problem(?), if you will, is when the Pubbies are caught with their knickers down, they are actually honorable(?) enough to bail. May it always be so. Their Dim comrades, on the other hand, will ride out the storm knowing full well their constituents could care less. There is no hope for the Dims or their enablers. May they reap what they have sown.
