Clinton: Impeachment Not Serious

[Carl/NewsMax]

Ex-President Bill Clinton said Monday that he had to assure world leaders that there was nothing seriously wrong with America after the Congress impeached him in 1998.

"During that time, a lot of world leaders would ask, 'What is going on? Is this serious?'" he told New York magazine.

"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that we periodically went through spasms."

Interviewed while traveling in Africa, the ex-president claimed, "Africans saw [my impeachment] for exactly what it was: an abuse of power."

"They got it here," he insisted.

The magazine noted that "seven years later, the ordeal of his impeachment still has a vibrant, ever-present life in Clinton's mind."

Still in Denial....

[NonValueAdded]

Oh goodie, which Africans? Robert? Idi?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Me, me, me, me, me!!

[RedStateRocker]

"but that we periodically went through spasms."

Yeah, Bill, and we know exactly what kind of 'spasms'......

[Michael Goldsberry]

"but that we periodically went through spasms."

Beuller? Ferris Beuller? Anyone?

[llevrok]

we periodically went through spasms

Boy howdy! That's an understatement in your case, Bubba.

[Stellar Dendrite]

"Oh goodie, which Africans? Robert?"


He's probably hangin with his bestest pal Robert Mugabe

[Michael Goldsberry]

(... seven seconds...)

"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that we periodically went through spasms."

Everytime Monica came over...

"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that we periodically went through spasms."

That would describe Jan 20^th1993-Jan 20^th 2001.

Me:Impeached Clinton Not Serious

[llevrok]

In Bubba's case, the truth is close, but no cigar....

[RoyalsFan]

I see the only elected president to ever be impeached is still in denial.

[RegulatorCountry]

"but that we periodically went through spasms."

... known as "luuuuv spaysums" down in Hot Springs.

[GSWarrior]

"They got it here," he insisted.

So did the ex-prez, I have a feeling.

[mtbopfuyn]

BJ would know about spasms.

[Just mythoughts]

Well well Out of Africa these days. So I wonder if Niger will get an official visit?

The world surely did love this pervert.

[Kenny500c]

At least finally, he admits he abused his power by attempting to fix the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit!

[kcar]

The only elected President to EVER to be impeached, and it's just an occasional spasm we have. Not serious at all. Although his party has yet to win a national election since.

[llevrok]

he tried to fix her suit, alright! (ahem)

[quantim]

Clinton is one of the biggest stains on American history. The kind of stain which cannot be removed.

[Shaka]

I think he meant orgasms.

Denial runs through Egypt.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

It sure was an abuse of power......

[BipolarBob]

BJC to the world: Nothing to see here - just a little hanky panky in the White House - move along

[quark]

[Michael Goldsberry]

"only elected president to ever be impeached"

Like Clinton, Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House, but not convicted by the Senate.

[MikefromOhio]

Like Clinton, Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House, but not convicted by the Senate.

Johnson wasn't elected....he became President when Lincoln was assassinated....

[bandleader]

What an A**HOLE!He has the(albeit dubious)distinKtion of being the ONLY ELECTED POYUS to be IMPEACHED!!I guess(to paraphrase the late Peter Jennings,BeelzeBubba thought his IMPEACHMRNT to be just another"Temper Tantrum"!!!!!!!!!

[rogue yam]

Interviewed while traveling in Africa, the ex-president claimed, "Africans saw [my impeachment] for exactly what it was: an abuse of power."

"They got it here," he insisted.

Bubba seems to be implying that his actions were particularly understandable to black people.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Ah, of course. Thanks.

[MikefromOhio]

:)

No problem :)

[caisson71]

The Klintoon is forever in LaLaland.

[Howie66]

I wish that this knob would just shut his pie-hole and dis-af***in'-pear.

What a waste of skin!

[samadams2000]

I prefer the "STAINing" process. As in you STAINED our country forever.

[BenLurkin]

Well, Slick Willy . . . how about Waco?

Do you remember that as being serious?

I didn't think so.

[timydnuc]

This POS always gave out the line "I'm working hard, everyday, for the American people". I've always wanted to ask him, "Mr. Clinton, when you were working hard for the American people was that during the Lewenski days as well"?

This guy will never stop, he's totally out of his mind. Liberalism is a mental disorder and it should be treated with strong drugs and confinement in an institution, but that institution should never be government!

[BibChr]

Rub this in the faces of the useful idiots who argued that Clinton had been humbled and "punished" enough.

"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that I periodically shot off eight-ropers."

Fixed that for you, Bubba.

[Libertina]

We went through a spasm alright.... /s

[llevrok]

Bubba seems to be implying that his actions were particularly understandable to black people.

He was very understandable to the one million dead Rwandans, as we recall

[SmithL]

Can't stand having the Little Mrs. get all of the attention, huh?

[don-o]

"I kept assuring them that nothing bad had happened to America," he recalled, "but that we periodically went through spasms."

The Sinkmeister would know about spasms, I reckon.

[RockinRight]

Whatever, Slick.

[RockinRight]

Ugh. And I was about to sit down to dinner.

[ca-dreamer74]

Thank goodness the Senate acquited this guy. All we need is another felonious (thanks Miss Coulter!) lying former President telling the third world exactly what NOT to do in the name of the USA.

I wish the UN would just elect him dictator for life so we could be rid of this windbag forever. I would buy MORE French products if they would just take him off of our hands. Oh, and can we ship the Bil Clinton Massage Parlor over there too? Sort of a return gift for the Statue of Liberty...

[ca-dreamer74]

Excellent point!

[Shazbot29]

Interviewed while traveling in Africa, the ex-president claimed, "Africans saw [my impeachment] for exactly what it was: an abuse of power."

Ahh, the all-important Moral Authority of the UN African contingent. Yes, they certainly understood the complexities of he US Constitution and how it was being bused by the Clinton White House. The African Continent is a beacon of virtue.

"They got it here," he insisted.

And Clinton got it down there, now didn't he?

[Michael Goldsberry]

"ship the Bil Clinton Massage Parlor over there too?"

... and just where do you think we got it from in the first place?
