Can you continue with the lineage of the X, ppaul? I'm so curious as to what he will look like as the years hit him ...

You asked for it...

[linn37]

Nice of Jackie Judd to put her own opinion on the end that there was no wrongdoing...hahahahahaha. Whats even sicker then the Clintoons were the seminar callers on Cspan telling how millionaires deserve Joe six packs money to pay the Clintoons legal bills.

Ohh, ppaul ... I was expecting MUCH WORSE, but I'll settle for the puffed, purple version. Thanks ...

One must understand that the Clintons are paranoid they will become poor ..poor to them of course is a couple million and that just doesnt maintain thier "Hollywood" lifestyle as they have lived on the Taxpayer for most of their adult lives..Clinton never realized he would make the money he does on book or speaking tours..but still is NEVER enough!

[Sacajaweau]

It's unfortunate we didn't prosecute both of them for the "White House" thefts.

Pandering wimps that we are, we told them to put them back...that's not nice.

It would likely have been a felony on both their records because of the value of the items.

And to Janet Reno: You were the perfect pawn for the "immoral" Clintons.

I thought it was time to move on with all the politics of self destruction? Ah! Not only liars but hypocrits and crooks.

[fight_truth_decay]

Correction to myself..50 million is poor to them..!!!

Robert Ray was controlled by the Clintons. IMO, Ray was scared SILLY of them. Let's face it...Ray found nothing odd about ONLY WHITEWATER WITNESSES dropping like flies or fleeing the country in fear of their lives...Ray didn't even find anything suspicious about Hillary getting caught red handed, SHREDDING Whitewater documents.

Of course, there was NOTHING unusual about Vince Foster's suicide....except that he changed both locations AND guns after his death. Nope. Nothing to see here, folks. No evidence of wrongdoing because Hillary shredded it, and it was in the best interests of Ray's sorry hide to drop the case.

The fact that they killed off the witnesses and shredded the evidence does NOT make them innocent. What a pair of scumbuckets.

"Adam Clymer aka A**hole...."

Adam Clymer, Certified A**hole.

[cake_crumb]

"Close but no cigar ... Cheney's response: 'Big Time!' "

I thought Bush's remark to Cheny was "Watch out - that's Adam Clymer, certified a$$hole from the New York Times."

[cardinal4]

Reimbursed?!? OMG. I am speechless.

Reimbursed, indeed. They didnt spend a penny of their own money.

[cyncooper]

"Close but no cigar ... Cheney's response: 'Big Time!' "

I thought Bush's remark to Cheny was "Watch out - that's Adam Clymer, certified a$$hole from the New York Times."

Bush said"... MAJOR LEAGUE A******..." to which Cheney replied: "Yeah, Big Time."

English language expanded to include the word "clymer" as a synonym for a****** and "Big Time" in reference to Cheney as a nickname and increased use as an expression to emphasize a statement.

To a lesser degree "major league" can be used in an inside joke kinda way, but I haven't seen it used as often as the above two phrases.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

This probe didn't cost the "COMMIETONS" a thing!As a matter of fact it is they who owe the American taxpayer.

[pattycake]

I agree with you, it would be worth the money if they just go away and shutup and never return again.

[pattycake]

I agree with you, it would be worth the money if they just go away and shutup and never return again.

[janetgreen]

It never ceases to amaze me that America elects sociopaths to high office. These people should be in prison.

[reg45]

Why do they NEED the taxpayer's money, they HAVE a legal defense fund?

Oh wait! They are Democrats and specialize in spending the taxpayer's money.

From a WSJ article:

Wednesday, September 6, 2000 12:01 a.m. EDT

A Washington adage holds that a politician commits a "gaffe" when he inadvertently tells the truth. This is how we read George W. Bush's off-the-record aside that New York Times reporter Adam Clymer is a "major league" you-know-what.

---

I searched for the exact quote but came up empty on my HD. Still I'm certain that W pointed out Clymer and called him a "a major league asshole" to which Cheney replied "Bigtime!".

Note to admin moderator: Had to use "profanity" in interests of historical accuracy - hope that's OK!

[McLynnan]

Think how wonderful life would be if we never had to see or hear from them again. The fair thing to do is ask the Democrats to pay them off since they are the ones who crammed this insult to decency and humanity down our throats.

It might hurt her, depending on her aspirations, but I doubt it. It would be tough for Pubbies to denigrate her for something Reagan and Bush did as well.

It won't hurt him one bit.
