Un-Credible Clinton Oddly enough, former president Bill Clinton has more of credibility problem now than he did when he was in office. A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows only 12 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what Clinton says these days. And nearly four times that many say they believe almost nothing he says. The number of people who doubt his credibility has doubled since the middle of the Monica Lewinsky investigation.

She hasn't won the office yet!

Oh, I'm sorry. They were talking about the pathologically lying, Impeached Rapist. My mistake.

Clay Henry is the third is the popular mayor of Lajitas, Texas

I thought he was the chubby fireman who lost weight stuffing his gob with Subway sandwiches.

File this under "better late than never?"

Come on America, even 12% is too high.

At least it hurts his ability to help elect Democraps.

But one of them was apparently offended that a perfectly good beer was wasted on a goat, and when the animal was later found castrated

think of what would happen if this crowd watched a pennant winning baseball game where all the champaign was fizzed all over and dumped on the ground.

on the other hand, if you can't have beer, then perhaps beer nuts is the next best thing...

Yeah, but how many of those people would vote for him again? I would be scared to find out.

TV Viewers Turn Thumbs Down on 'President Hillary'

By a margin a nearly 9 to 1, residents of the New York metropolitan area don't want to see New York Sen. Hillary Clinton run for president - ever.

At least that's what viewers told a local TV station after they were asked to register their opinion online.

Unlike many online polls, which usually tilt conservative, New York City's WPIX tried to reach out to a broader TV audience. Another factor that should have helped Hillary: Residents in the area reached by the station's broadcast signal voted for her overwhelmingly in the 2000 Senate race.

"We call it Tell Us @ Ten," the station explains on its website. "Each day at our news meeting, the News @ Ten staff will decide on a hot-button issue for the day and formulate a question around it, the question will then be put up on WB11.COM, our website. Then, as the night goes on, viewers will be driven to our website to cast their votes, and then tune in at 10:00 PM to see exactly how New Yorkers felt."

Earlier this week, WPIX asked viewers, "Would you like to see Sen. Hillary Clinton run for President?"

Mrs. Clinton lost by a landslide, with a whopping 87.4 percent (955 respondents) saying they didn't want to see the rising Democratic Party star back in the White House.

Since the 'President Hillary' question didn't mention what year she might run, the responses presumably cover both 2004 and 2008.

Hillary's coming White House bid was backed by just 138 WPIX viewers, a slender 12.6 percent.

I bet there was a run on Depends at the neighborhood pharmacy that day, when Hillary saw those results.

And yet, he gets paid 6 figures to talk at dinners. Must be a pay-off for favors past. Why pay for something nobody will believe?

If Bill Clinton ever told the truth, it was with intent to deceive.

I had the same reaction. I was worried I'd fallen asleep and awakened in 2009 with ThatWoman (D-NY) back in the White House. Aaaargh!
