In the MIDDLE of this tradgedy, in a church... He's gawking at Laura... And there's no DOUBT about it, he's also JEALOUS of President Bush. He even tried to make his own receiving line AFTER the memorial service. How PATHETIC can you get, at a TIME like THIS.

Clinton was a national tragedy.

Amen, and amen.

Slight editorial modification - clinton WAS a national tragedy, and remains so to this day.

Clinton tried to concoct greatness by using sleep deprivation tactics during the Middle East Peace Process, and by lobbying the Nobel committee for a prize.

Clinton had his "historic chance to lead" starting 1/20/93. Every President has it. Clinton had it for eight years.

The results of eight years of Clinton's "leadership" are a smoldering pile of rubble in lower Manhattan, and more than 5,000 dead Americans. May God preserve us from any more of that kind of "leadership".

Clinton could be a defense attorney for Osama bin Laden.

"I stress that I have not carried out this act, which appears to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation,'' said the statement, broadcast by Qatar's Al-Jazeera satellite channel."

Now is that Clintonisque or what? Of course he didn't "carry our these acts", those guys are dead. But I suppose it might make a difference knowing that meaning of "is".

I agree with you that X-42 may very well be this guys attorney.

I agree bubba had plenty of chances. Instead he covered up the attacks.....TWA800 and OKC Bombing....OKC Bombing had the middle east all over it....instead it was covered up!!!

Whats really remembered about bubba is killing over 80 American men, women and children at a church outside of WACO in his first 100 days in office.

Poor Bill. The only U.S. President in history who never had a chance to be a leader. Character trumps charisma every time. (At least some people say he has charisma. He looks like a bloated buffoon to me.)

In a similar vein, presidents that have kept us out of war do not get the historians' high ratings that Wilson and FDR get.

Clinton could be a defense attorney for Osama bin Laden.

Except that his law license was suspended for five years.

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.

Seemed to me he spent half his time globe-trotting. A continuous vacation on our dime, after campaigning against Bush Sr. because he spent too much time on foreign policy. Now, Clinton's "foreign policy" has come home to roost.

Don't be too hard on Chris, (yeah right), but Clinton himself has lamented several times, at least once publicly, that he got screwed on the greatness thing. Chris in his 'inside baseball' way, is being utterly sarcastic to Clinton. IMOH

Message to Bill in Chapaqua: Ha Ha, you blew it big guy. You can't hit home runs, if you never step up to the plate.

Is he checking out Barbara or Bush Sr? Clinton is most likely wishing he could knot his tie as well. Didn't have a pop's to teach him, you know.

He seems to be lamenting the fact that Bill Clinton never had a national tragedy in which to display his magnificent leadership characteristics.

Clinton had a chance at greatness during the first bombing of the WTC or during the bombing of the US destroyer Cole, or during the destruction of our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. All those attacks were perpetrated by Bin Laden and his terrorist group. He could have shown greatness during the fuel truck bomb that killed 19 American soldiers and wounded nearly 400 others at a US military complex near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia or during the bomb attack on a US-run military center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that killed seven people, five of them Americans.

He had a chance to display leadership many times during his 8 years of presidency. However, what he showed us was his cowardly acquiescence in Saddam Hussein's flagrant violations of the Gulf War agreement, except for his diversionary air strikes during the impeachment vote before Congress. He showed his unwillingness to punish Bin Laden and the perpetrators who bombed the USS Cole, and the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He weakened the military by cutting resources and financial support to the military and Intelligence and he had a reckless disregard of national security. We know that this attack has taken years in the making, just becoming a pilot requires time.

What Clinton showed was moral weakness, lies, deceit and corruption. It's not the number of dead that allows someone to claim greatness, but it's the man itself -- GW Bush is a great man, a leader, a man of integrity, honesty and with a good heart. A man I'm proud to call, Mr. President!

"Didn't he have a pop's to teach him, you know. "

Of course Bill Clinton had a Pop to teach him.

Not quite sure of his name, though.
