Will Bill Clinton Find Peace?
Opinion Journal ^ | 04/08/2002 | ROBERT L. BARTLEY

How sad to see him spend his retirement nurturing grievances.

Bill Clinton was president of our Republic for eight years, and what diminishes him diminishes us all. If I may speak for his critics, we have no desire to pursue him from now to eternity. We'd hope instead that in retirement he'd achieve a measure of inner peace and historical detachment, as Richard Nixon ultimately did after his presidential disgrace.

Peace was his old intern. She was replaced by Chastity who was replaced by Hope. Chastity was no more.

Future history may treat him kinder than those who will be around until he dies. I hope there are many with sufficient memory to call him to bear as needed until he is gone. His crimes went far beyond any lying about Monica. He literally got away with his most egregious crimes. he deserves no peace. I am bitter against bot him and the system that let him slide. And that includes Bush and his "New Tone."

Good post. Saved to file. The truth always catches up to Klinton, no matter how many times his minions respin his sordid "legacy".

-------------------------

From whence came this logic? Are we to create a myth and deconstruct justice in order to promote ourselves? It would seem improvement should begin with admission of mistake and correction of corruption.

Absolutely well stated. The contamination of this man goes beyond what he did to his own "legacy". By fighting to the last, rather than resigning with any sense of dignity, he inspired a whole subsegment of the nation to toss out all the values they prattle on about at their Abs of Steel workouts, just to save his worthless ass.

Too bad Bill can't adjust our memory banks as easily as he chatters about the fantasy of his obscene and nauseating reputation.

It is not possible for a sociopath to find "inner peace." His mind and his soul (if any) are scrambled, which are the qualities that make him permanently dangerous to all around him.

Clinton cannot "find peace" until he faces and states the truth. He has gone so far away from any concept of truth, he would no longer recognize truth if it was a brick and he tripped on it in his bare feet.

I am no more interested in Clintons' "peace" than I was interested in whether Timothy McVeigh was "in good spirits" before he was executed. It simply does not concern me to consider such things with regard to drop-outs from the human race.

.........and as a sociopath he cannot admit guilt, which would be the first step to mental health.

Every day brings new evidence that our democracy must have been saved by a higher power,to have endured and survived, eight years of unspeakable corruption and perversion. I hope he never finds any peace.

The Clinton scandals, too, were anything but a figment of a "vast right-wing conspiracy."

Great article!It's a relief to read statement like this in the Wall Street Journal ONLINE WEBSITE!When I let up on him a bit,just a little,I see books on my shelf that remind me,or read sentences like this ,I know how evil this man was to his country."I'd like to talk about Hazel O'Leary's behavior First though....." Ahhhhhhh later in the week perhaps.Bill gets a Piece in every country he visits.Believe it.If you were him in every facet of behavior,you would too.Thank God there's only 1 of him.(Oops,I forgot about Shrillary..........)
