LEBANON, N.H. -- A week after causing his wife's presidential campaign a headache by saying he had opposed the Iraq war from the start, former President Clinton accused the news media on Tuesday of misrepresenting his remarks.

Trying to pin bj down to one answer is like trying to nail a hocker to the wall.

Well he’s not very handsome to look at
Oh he’s shaggy and he eats like a hog
And he’s always killin’ my chickens
That dirty old egg-suckin’ dog

Egg-suckin’ dog
I’m gonna stomp your head in the ground
If you don’t stay out of my hen house
You dirty old egg-suckin’ hound

Now if he don’t stop eatin’ my eggs up
Though I’m not a real bad guy
I’m gonna get my riffle and send him
To that great chicken house in the sky

Egg-suckin’ dog
Your always hangin’ around
But you’d better stay out of my hen house
You dirty old egg-suckin’ hound

The only way to cure an egg-suckin’ dog... is with lead.

How do you arrive at a Dec. 7 -15 date to fall out?

She needs to stop the bleeding. The more she struggles, the worse it gets. She cannot recover by campaigning, so she has to stop campaigning. Immediately.

I arrived at December 7 and 14 because they are Fridays. The Clintons always like to do document dumps and make unexpected revelations that they do not want well examined late on Friday afternoon. They can count on favorable treatment on the Sunday shows, and by Monday it is Old News.

I think it will be before Christmas because she cannot afford to drag this on until New Years. By then it will be too late. Over the Christmas goose, either everybody will be talking about how they have given up on Hillary or about how terrible it is that she is sick. One or the other. She would much rather it be the latter.

After reading the headline for the thread I guessed by the third post someone would have made an “is” comment. I was wrong, happened at #2.

Lol, thank you for those versions... Very funny! I’ve saved them.

I was talking to my elderly uncle last week and he came up with the “snake hole” line when referring to Clinton. Maybe you had to be there and know him, but it really cracked me up. He was grasping for words at the time and it just sort of popped out. Sounded totally spontaneous and original. I checked Google and couldn’t find it anywhere so it may be. Cheers!

My short term memory may be bad, but I do pretty good on history.

Here is what is (not) funny.

An entire ‘arm’ of the government could be dedicated to pursuing the on-going investigations of corruption, murder, treason, etc. by the Clintons, and still be understaffed to complete the task.

Bill: They just took what I said wrong. This kind of thing happens all the time. Just a misunderstanding.

Like that Kathleen Willey thing. She just took things wrong, because she wanted the attention.

Even back then, Health Care was a #1 concern for Hillary and I. When Kathleen said I was grabbing her boobs, that was just a free Breast cancer exam.

And running my hand up her skirt? That was the free pap smear.

I figured since she was also asking for a job, I would let her give me a hernia check, as part of her indoctrination into the medical field.

I had visions, America, of this fine woman being a nurse.
Yeah, with one of those Candystripe Uniforms, and a stethoscope, and.... sorry, I got off the subject a little there.

Anyway, as I was saying, about me, and my adminstration when I was President and America liked me, and I was the best President ever, and the world looked up to me and....
oh.... sorry, I ran out of breath.

Well, you get the idea. Enough about Iraq, let’s focus on Hillary, and because I was great, you just know Hill’s gonna be great too. That’s right, too, like two for one. We’re giving America the Deal of the Century.

I’ll be signing photos, and taking donations, at the rear after the interview. Medical Exams by appointment only.
Glad we had this talk.

Not a comedy writer.

I work for a bank. That's a job where you have to have a durable sense of humor, especially now.
