Don't Stop at Yom Kippur, Bill!

As a Jewish American, you can imagine how moved I was to learn that, as he explained to Larry King, Bill Clinton will not be out campaigning for Barack Obama until after October 9th, out of respect for the Jewish High Holy Days.

But by the same token, we know that the former president celebrates diversity and is deeply multi-cultural in his beliefs. America is a great mosaic, after all. And so, just as he respects the Jewish faith tradition, surely he would also wish to honor the great religions of the East. As a public service to President Clinton, we are therefore providing this calendar of upcoming holidays celebrated in the Eastern religions of Jain, Sikh, Taoism and Shinto.

We can imagine just how crestfallen Bill will be to learn that the multiplicity of observances will effectively keep him off the campaign trail on behalf of Sen. Obama right through Election Day. But really, there is no price too high to pay to honor our nation's religious diversity. Hopefully, the MSM will pick up on this story and help bring the vital information it contains to President Clinton's attention.

Only Monica Lewinsky knows for sure.

LOL. Bill Clinton’s the best at this sort of thing. Only he can deliver a statement like this with a straight face, even as he knows no one is buying it.

May God Bless your crooked ... heart!

“LOL. Bill Clinton’s the best at this sort of thing. Only he can deliver a statement like this with a straight face, even as he knows no one is buying it.”

I watched Letterman the other night, only because Bill was on and I wanted to see if was going to say anything about Sarah.

He was asked his opinion about this financial mess and he went on and on and on and I knew he wasn’t going to admit to having any part in it. The only thing I saw, when he said certain things, his eyes shifted back and forth.

I’m not a expert Clinton watcher, but that eye thing stuck out. I wasn’t into politics when he was President and always turned the channel when he came on my TV, there was something I didn’t like about him. Especially after the Monica thing.

You are right, he is good, LOL.

As long as you are on the subject of body language and avoided the fray during the clinton years, pleas understand. There was a riddle that surfaced in the 1990s that quite explicitly and accurately told the tale. It went like this:

Question: How can you tell when bill clinton is telling a lie?

Answer: His lips are moving.
