“As a child and an adult, Clinton read the Bible from cover to cover numerous times.”

Looking for loopholes no doubt.

The picture of Slick with Billy Graham is icing on the cake. I’m surprised SALON’s server didn’t crater.

Another one who was despondent when not reelected. He deserved to be reelected, dam it. And Hillary, she deserves to be President, dam it.

I can only imagine the circumstances under which Bill Clinton cries out “ Oh my god ! oh my god ! “ ....

"rumors spread that he was having extramarital affairs"

Shame on the author for spreading scurrilous gossip about this paragon of Christian morality!

When plotting his political comeback after his election defeat, Bill Clinton just happened to pick, of all the millions of Baptist churches in Arkansas, the one which ensured he would be seen on TV singing in the choir. He seems to have misread Matt. 5.6 (praying where you can be seen by people is not the behavior Jesus was recommending).

Interesting that Betsy Wright’s name came up, vouching for Bill’s Christian bona fides. If memory serves, Betsy Wright was in charge of quashing “bimbo eruptions” in Slick’s first presidential campaign.

I’m sure glad God is in charge of sorting everything out, and not I. The story of how Bill walked the aisle as a kid, and prayed to accept Christ, sounds genuine, and far be it from me to cast aspersions on it. Where my knees get wobbly is not even the philandering and that kind of stuff, although that’s bad enough. And having a tryst with a willing partner is one thing; but the reports of Bill’s numerous rapes; and then having goons stalk the victims to discourage them reporting any of it; leads to much more serious doubts.

Another point where my jaw clenches tight and I have to suck air through my clenched teeth, is at the reports of all the murders and stuff that he and Shrillary instigated to prevent ANYTHING or ANYONE from derailing their political ambitions.

Ai-yai-yai!

BIll Clinton a godly man?

Oh, I’m sure he thought of himself as a god at times.
He is as godly as Barak Obama, communists don’t believe
in god.

This is evidence that if a man is not chosen, there is no appreciable, legitimate change in his life. “I chose you, you did not choose me.” Lots of “decisions for Christ” are just men being stirred to “follow Jesus”...but they are not among the elect. They spring up and die off.

From what I’ve seen, religion was just a scoundrel’s tool for Clinton. He used it when convenient to cover his sins and further his political ambitions. That being said, he may well believe in a Judeo-Christian G-d. In contrast, I think Obama is an atheist with deep Muslim sympathies.

The View eyes Monica Lewinsky for hosting role

These sudden public appearancee by Monica aren't coincidental. Hillary and company don't want any sympathy for Monica so they're making sure she's set up - her "anti-bullying" pulpit-celebrity will make sure that she keeps her mouth shut (so to speak).

Ah yes, the moral core of an abuser of women, beatings, groping, and rape. Then his wife hires a woman to organize a "silence the female victims effort", and at least two high profile private investigators to convince them talking might not be a healthy alternative.

Now we're treated to his close relationship with God.

Chelsea is treated to the full court press, by the same press that did everything in their power to attack the Bush twins and thereby President Bush.

Isn't the Left just so moralistic? /Sarcasim

Tell you what Chelsea, forget everything else, just convince me you had different parents. That's about all I want to hear from you.

Elle, the topic is, "Does and don'ts of plastic surgery..."

Good Lord even slick Willie is getting a makeover. Will he start carrying a bible around again?

I'm sure that gigantic one he used for photo ops in the 80s is very well preserved and can be taking out of its box at any time.
