'Clindit'
The Wall Street Journal ^ | CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS

"Clindit." The combo name has a vague but appropriate indecency to it. Even those who repudiate the parallelism are compelled to run a sort of check-off list to reassure themselves that there isn't any real comparison between Gary Condit and Bill Clinton. (And it must say something about the "legacy" of our most recent ex-president that this uncouth auction of comparable features is most forcibly suggested by mentions of the suborning of perjury and the obstruction of justice.) How far may the analogy be extended?

Condit overestimated his power as a sitting congressman..
As 1/535th of a political body, he had nowhere near the influence exerted by or of the influence wielded by a sitting president..

As Chris Cox mentioned when questioned regarding the stealth and pressure of the means used to delete pertinant information from the "Cox Report" -he said 'never underestimate the power of a sitting president.'

How odd that none of the pro-Condit sitepests have shown up on this thread.

Why, do you miss them? Would you like somebody to pretend to be one?

I was reminded of Clinton's three rapes-something that haunts me to this day.

Wellstone, Broaddrick but who was the third?

it was the three RAPES I was curious about...I only remembered Juanita

Eileen Wellstone, a British girl, when he was in Oxford. Police were informed and, because a Rhodes scholar was involved, the State Department sent someone to investigate and smooth it over. Parents decided not to press charges because it was a he said/she said thing where he claimed consensual sex. Shortly thereafter Clinton left England without completing his course.

I think rape fits into the Clinton persona as a feature of total victory over others. Armies often rape, loot, and murder as side-benefits of their military conquests. Boy Clinton was not a pacifist, just a coward. He was not against war. He was just against a particular war where he might get hurt. His terror when facing crowds in Africa (caught on tape) was a good example of his personal courage. Lady Macbeth is much worse, because she has always been the keeper of the beast. I doubt whether anyone could find a couple more heartless and evil. Shame on us for electing and re-electing them.

Can't help with the name but wasn't she offered a part in a tv series, one that was taped out of the country?

She never claimed rape. Said it was consensual but something she did not want to happen.

The other possibility for victim #3 is a 14 year old Little Rock girl who claimed Clinton raped her during a cocaine party. We don't know her name.

Sure thing! That was a small sample from a google.com search; many were redundant or about Broaderick; I had forgotten about the 3 SS officer's allegations, however.

Talk radio covered the subject extensively at that time. I just tried a search of hamblin.com, who devoted a week to rape vitim's stories, and got nothing new. Mike Reagan's site- reagan.com - had repeats of stories already covered in those links.

It was stated:
"Just a guess on the psychology: Hillary loved bill. He hurt her terribly (humiliation, lost interest in her physically and emotionally.) Now he messes around and sometimes even rapes other women.

I suggest that hillary feels
1) that those sluts deserved it for scr*wing him when they know he's married to her and
2)he "still cares" about her because he doesn't RAPE HER. Sick and sad. "

Are you kidding? You gotta be kidding. How's about this simple and obvious explanation:

- Hillary went along with his escapades becaues she was an enabler who benefited from the parternship (witness her milking sympathy from the public to get her senate seat).

She probably thought of ol' Billy as the star pitcher of the team and hey since he's a Cy Young Winner, then let him be a bad boy in the clubhouse (pardon the sports metaphor).

I can asssure you that if she was complicit (as has been alleged) that there ain't love between em (as most folks would describe it in a marriage).

Yet another appalling thing about these 'users' of people is that for someone so 'concerned' about women's issues (Hillary) it's absolutely shameful that their private lives are 180 degrees in the other direction. Women (and any of the other 'small' people of the world) are to be used in their Machivaellian Socialist minds.

It shows that their 'act' of protecting women is just that...an act. It's more than just hypocrisy. It's a lie a blatant lie. And it's that simple!
