Yes, He Was A Dubious President, But This?

Pretty sorry state of affairs when a supporter defends you as being "dubious." Kind of like the old line: they said you weren't fit to eat with the pigs, so I defended you. LOL

[AUgrad]

I must disagree. If you say he it is dubious,that means there is some doubt. There is no doubt, no "dubiousness" about it. Clinton is the worst President in the last 100 years if not ever.

[eureka!]

Agreed. History will not look kindly on the grifting 'Toon, despite the Clymers iin the left's best efforts to write a false legacy...

Did you see the latest poll from Florida..showing Jeb Bush over Reno by 60-26%........seems like the teflon is starting to stick..

Keep in mind, some of these people now telling us Clinton's was a dubious presidency were some of his most ardent supporters the last ten years. The message I am reading is that many are now re-examining their defense of him and stepping further away.

They will never likely be like us in terms of the condemnation. But if they shun him, as they should, he will have no one left to lie to (to coin a Hitchins phrase and book title).

50 or more years from now when history is written about this time period, klintoon will come up as the very worst President that this country has ever known.

He will be considered a whole lot more than simply dubious.

At the moment, circulating through the ether of cyberspace is the indictment of Clinton as a terrorist co-conspirator.

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

After reading this earlier this morning, I emailed the author. I didn't like the way he used his criticism of Clinton to pave the way for a backhanded slight to Bush.

Humor me if you have a minute and drop Mr. Ruth a note of your own. His email addy is: DRuth@tampatrib.com.

My original email:
Horse hooey. Bush isn't taking terrorists to court and ignoring the nations that breed and harbor them. Clinton did. Why? He had "other" things on his mind.

*Your* logic doesn't hold up.

The "author's" resonse to me:
You stilllllllllllllllll don't get it.

My follow up:
Well, one of us doesn't.

Clinton never went after the roots of terrorism. He chopped away at the tail of the snake, but was too timid to go after the head. It does no good to incarcerate flunkies without making a serious effort to stop the state-sponsorship of terrorism.

Plus, in another major faux pas, all he managed to do was get the weapons inspection program stopped in Iraq, helping Saddam achieve Iraq's goal.

Clinton was a "personality," not a leader. And you, sir, are a groupie.

Two obvious facts are missing from Ruth's article: 1. Hillary Clinton received campaign funds from associates of the Hammas. 2. Mr.Clinton provided pardons to FALN terrorists in a blatant attempt to garner Puerto Rican votes for Hillary Clinton.

But in each case, those responsible were caught.

By this standard, nothing needs to be done about 9/11, since the hijackers are all dead. Were WJC President, we might be hearing that explanation.

[GunsareOK]

You beat me to it and couldn't have said it better!

Clinton will go down in history as John Belushi's ``Animal House'' character

I can just just picture hin sitting on WhiteHouse floor in the last night of his administration saying, "There goes eight years of the Presedency right down the drain. I guess I'll have to join the frigking peace corps."

[porte des morts]

This is one of the most enjoyable posts I have read in a while.

On so many levels this is good news.

[oyez]

Presedency = Presidency

[Rick.Donaldson]

Actually, I think the author was right. We SHOULD blame Clinton. Perhaps they can arrest him and try him for treason while they're at it :)

[bureaucrud]

Nice exchange between you and D. Ruth. (Of course, it's pretty easy to outwit a moron, so you don't get big-time kudos for that.)

I wonder if he stillllll hasn't a clue....?????

Good points.

Strange that such a careful journalist like Mr. Ruth would overlook those details. /sarcasm

[wbill]

We won't know that this change has taken place until the media stops referring to President GW Bush as 'Mister'Bush and the x42 as 'President Clinton'.

Then, we'll know that the landslide has started.

[Exigence]

We SHOULD blame Clinton.

Well, I certainly do. The final nail in the coffin was his non-response to the bombing of the Cole.

As to Mr. Ruth, he's like an attorney who is willing to cop to a lesser plea on the part of his client. That way, he doesn't have to 'fess up to the really big misdeeds.

Who was that guy - Nero.
