[Senator Goldwater]

"Clinton challenged historian Douglas Brinkley's comments in a newspaper interview that Clinton would be deemed a great president were it not for his impeachment."

I'd challenge Doug Brinkley's assertion that Clinton was a great president regardless of impeachment.

[Steamburg]

I too disagree with Brinkley. Clinton would be an unmemorable President were it not for his impeachment. He showed that with a willing cast of accomplices that you can make a pig look pretty good for a time. In the cold light of history when presidential accomplishments are reduced to a few paragraphs, there won't be room for much else. Of course lists of his failures like Waco, and the Gonzales affair don't count for much either. Does anyone recall an attorney general from say the Truman Administration? In the long run Presidents are judged on their deeds not their surrogates. Looks like a cold cold legacy.

Slick will forever been know as the Slacker President presiding over a Know-Nothing Do-Nothing Administration who ordered military action on US citizens resulting in deaths of many innocent women and children, gave Communist China technology to target and guide their multi-warhead nukes and allowed OBL to complete is 911 attack.

[Verginius Rufus]

Douglas Brinkley is from the lickspittle school of court historians when it comes to Democrats. He's also a big admirer of Jimmy Carter.
