Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars" has been serialized by Salon. Here are ten reasons why you should watch Salon's "commercial" and then read the installments. All of them (one, two, three, four, five).
1. He related a conversation he had had with Senator Alan Simpson, the Republican from Wyoming, who was retiring.
"You know there's nothing wrong that Hillary and I did in Whitewater," Clinton told him.
"Of course," Simpson replied. "We all know there's nothing there. It was just politics. And it just got out of hand."
2. Chief Justice Rehnquist...had been chilly and inexpressive toward the president throughout the morning. He was grim while swearing in Clinton to his second term, with Hillary holding the Bible. Now Rehnquist turned to speak to him. "Good luck," he said. "You'll need it."
"They're going to screw you on the Paula Jones case," Hillary said.
3. "The Washington bureau was like an outpost of the American Spectator," an ABC News correspondent told me. "Dorrance was in constant touch with Tripp. He was calling the shots. He kept opposing views off the air and put views supportive of Starr on the air."
4. "I saw decisions made on moral grounds that had nothing to do with criminal grounds," [Sam] Dash told me. "They believed that someone was a bad person, a sinful person, who ought to be punished for it. They distorted their judgment. Ken allowed his personal concepts of morality to interfere with the role of a prosecutor."
5. Jackie Bennett, Starr's deputy, promulgated a cult of toughness. He and his closest allies called themselves the "Likud faction," after the hard-line, right-wing Israeli political party, and dubbed others who did not always share their unbending fervor "commie wimps."
6. "We don't want to leave stuff out because it will look like we are concealing or not giving them all of the facts," he said. The Washington Post's Bob Woodward described Starr saying this as he "folded his hands and rubbed them together." Starr added, "I don't think we can remove all of the F-words." In its detail and tone, Starr was truly the author of the Starr Report.
7. In 2002, DeLay preached to the First Baptist Church of Pearland, Texas, that God was using him to promote "a biblical worldview" in politics, and that he had pushed for Clinton's impeachment because the president held "the wrong worldview."
8. Democratic leader Dick Gephardt delivered a stem-winder: "We are now rapidly descending into a politics where life imitates farce, fratricide dominates our public debate, and America is held hostage to tactics of fear and smear." The Democrats stomped and cheered and wouldn't stop, as if they could forestall the inevitable....The president of the United States was impeached.
9. "Henry," said [Sen. Ted] Stevens, "I don't care if you prove he raped a woman and then stood up and shot her dead -- you are not going to get 67 votes." "The system doesn't work," Schippers muttered loudly.
10 When the videotape of Monica Lewinsky's testimony was played to the Senate on February 6, Senator Fred Thompson, Republican of Tennessee, walked out in disgust in the middle of Bryant's questions, muttering, "I can't take it anymore."
Ya gotta love democrats..........
1. If your daughter accused a politician of dropping his pants and trying to force oral sex, would you think it a "bad thing" and that she had a right to sue even if that politician became president?
2. If that same politician then lied under oath, would it be a crime in your mind?
3. Does the book mention Monica testifying that Clinton told her he was being blackmailed to allow a spy in the W.H. to keep spying?
4. Does it mention Clinton testifying under oath that he couldn't remember whether he had been offered illegal donations? Doesn't sound very bright for someone you libs believe has a 180 I.Q.
It’s the last book on earth and your television’s broke.
This one's easy.

Lest Americans ever forget why the clintons, and all their enablers need to be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:
