I think he's lookin at Laura.... I think he's worried about Barbara taking off one of her pumps and repeatedly beating him over the head with it...

the historic chance to lead So, Matthews here is implying that BillyBob was NEVER a leader...something we knew all along.
To: VinnyTex
... assumed that her sources didn't want the public to think that Clinton was asleep at the wheel back then while bin Laden was going bonkers. Clinton's still putting ice on his legacy. Give it up, Bill. It's not working.

He seems to be lamenting the fact that Bill Clinton never had a national tragedy in which to display his magnificent leadership characteristics.Clinton was a national tragedy.
To: VinnyTex
Sandwiched between two wars, Clinton will become a footnote in history. In a hundred years only a few presidential scholars will know anything about him.

X42 did NOT miss a chance at greatness. To have a chance for that, one must be a great person. He never was, is not, and never will be.

Bill had a chance to be great!
He "blew" it, or rather Monica did it for him.
Because of his lack of character, he ended up spending the majority of his time in office soliciting illegal campaign contributions and doing damage control.
Now, as former head of the Democratic pary, he is the fitting symbol of greatness.... A great big A$$.

Clinton was a true dot-com era president - asleep at the wheel in drug-induced euphoria.
Chris Matthews is just another libomoron with too much of testosterone in his blood.

Clinton - nothing but a male slut.
I will never understand how he charmed the 18% of the country that elected him.
And I believe it is Providence that GW Bush is President now, with his team, instead of what Gore would have had on staff.
To: VinnyTex
Please!! Clinton, when he joing that very exclusive fraternity of United States Presidents, had every single opportunity to end his term(s) as a GREAT President. The problem is he was far too self absorbed to realize the potentials that were in front of him. He lacked the integrity, honor, maturity and guts to be considered great. As we learned through his terms, if it did not provide instant gratification, it wasn't worth bothering with. Clinton will forever be the epitome of just what we do NOT need in a President. I hope that he figures it out before he passes, although I doubt that he has the snap to get it.

You're absolutely right. How great was that letter he wrote when he was supposed to be drafted? How great was the treatment the military received after he became President? He was - and is - a little man, in spite of his height and girth.

I hate Bill Clinton. For victory & freedom!!!

It looks to me like he is looking at GWBush.

Yes, the economy was good during the past 8 years, but Clinton wrote checks on this country that the economy can't cash.
What a fine way of putting it! He kept talking about "The Children" throughout his eight years, and now it's clearer than ever that his policies have condemned "The Children" to a lifetime of fear, and possibly a death sentence.

Hey Chris, you've got a spot on your dress.
To: VinnyTex
Clinton may have liked to think that greatness could have been seized by him, but the truth is,only those with the strength of character can see it for what is it, and act accordingly.Like Reagan.At no time has Clinton ever shown courage, bravery, wisdom and the ability to do anything beyond expediency.The great seize greatness, it isn't the events that mold the people, but the people themselves.Its only the event that enables that inner character to emerge.It has to be present all along.
And no honest person can say that Clinton has that.

POWERbump!

Rush and Falwell were definitely the Right's casualties this week. Falwell crossed a rhetorical line and Limbaugh invented a quote by Peter Jennings. Though he retracted it, there is lingering damage to his credibility. Falwell, on the other hand, is being unfairly criticized, in my opinion.

Clinton would have been a disaster under the same circumstances. The first thing he would have done is go into complete damage control to try to pin the blame on some surrogate at the CIA/Pentagon, even though his Administration cut their funding to the bone. And I suspect the next thing he would have done is waste a lot of cruise missiles in order to pump up his poll numbers without doing any damage to Bin Laden or his forces. After the cameras came around, he would have bit his lip, faked tears, put his arms around some of the female mourners, slipped them a note telling them to meet him at his hotel, and gotten serviced while on the phone with Congress. Some leader. The guy was and remains a pathetic waste of skin.
