Remember, if you Ctl-F the Starr Report for "oral-anal contact", you get several hits.

And the Democrats say they're concerned about the dignity of the presidency.

Enemy Taunting Presidents:

When the 3rd ID & the Marines moved through Iraq, they used loudspeakers to taunt the Iraqi troops (and irregulars, too). The Iraqi's apparently couldn't stand being dissed and therefore got suckered into a series of ill-considered frontal attacks.

So my question is this: If this was such a brilliant and innovative tactic then, why is it being criticized now? Oh, I forgot. This is GWB we're talking about. Guess that automatically makes this criticism valid in certain political circles...

"wimps = wussies"

Did you know that "WIMP" is actually an acronym?

Whimpering

Iincompetent

Malingering

P.....rhymes with "wussy"

[Stultis]

Yeah. It's unacceptable to have an American President winning wars, defeating and demoralizing our enemies, advancing human liberty and the national interest, and increasing the security of Americans and our allies unless he behaves like a martydom seeking jihadi. Yup, really bright and insightful comment there, Scawsby. I bet that kind of analysis really wow's 'em over at BartCop and DU.

Dick Gephardt said Bush's comments were hardly presidential

And Bill Clinton testifying before Grand Jury in a perjury-sex case is??

Kakkate Koi!

[aristeides]

Funny how they didn't learn from how their carrier complaints bombed.

[FairOpinion]

They prefer Clinton's statements:

" The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people"
--Bill Clinton, during an interview on MTV in 1993


"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say."

-- Bill Clinton, May 29, 1993, The White House


"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans . . . ."

--William J. Clinton, USA Today, March 11, 1993


When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly.... [However, now] there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it."

-- Bill Clinton, 3-22-94, MTV's "Enough is Enough"


It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is"
-- excerpts from Bill Clinton's grand jury testimony

[FairOpinion]

Here is what Clinton considered a real danger to the world. Obviously Democrats prefer that, ignoring that exactly that attitude was what allowed Saddam and the terrorists to get stronger and attack us.

"Another global danger we face is climate change."
--- Clinton speech on foreign policy, Feb. 26, 1999

Paul Begala and Tony Coehlo were both so upset today on Crossfire about the "Bring it on" statement. I loved it.
I say we make "Bring it on" our slogan to the Dims in the campaign. That's what a love most about our man GW.
Straight talk, no BS. Wish there were more like him.

[CyberAnt]

You got it!

And ... "taunting the enemy" is not even in their playbook - because they don't have the spine for it!!

[Political Junkie Too]

I say we make "Bring it on" our slogan to the Dims in the campaign.

Does that mean that it's time to retire "Let's roll!"?

. The Florida senator said the phrase "may be appropriate for a referee in a Las Vegas boxing match, but not for the man we trust to lead our men and women who are in harm's way."


Excuse me SENATOR, but just what the hell do you think this is if it isn't a punch up?

Jerks!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Bring It On......wouldn't that work for Shelley and Davis, too?

Ha!

[tet68]

"taunting the enemy" is not even in their playbook

They can't even bring themselves to say,
"Saddam, your mother smells of elderberries and we fart in your general direction."

Might offend someone.

[CyberAnt]

Oh yes ... heaven forbid that we offend some despot!

[cardinal4]

Begala is a loser. He was freaking out over the flight suit as well. They cant stand seeing W act Presidential. Understandable, really; before GWB, there hasnt been anyone to act Presidential since W's Dad.
