BTW...back when Clinton was in power, I had a nice long discussion with two gentleman in his Secret Service Security detail, and I asked them what would happen if I said something so embarrassing to Der SchleekMeister that Slick came after me physically. Both agreed that American citizens have the Right to Defend themselves, and as long as I let Slick Willie get in the first punch, I would be within my rights to whup Slick's arse and the SS would not intervene until Slick's life was in danger.

Food fer thought...MUD

Slim, way back when, Britt Hume ( or was it Tony Snow?) had a run-in with Little Big Fraud, and he wrote about it in the old American Spectator... IIRC it was "My 15 Minutes of Fame..."

Used to be in their online archives... I still have the magazine, buried somewhere around here.

What struck me most was how rabidly the Kool-Aid Drinkers defended and worshipped the little cheat and swindler, even back then.

The Leftist RATS so bereft of ideas that they believe they can only win by continuing to fool the American Sheeple, and Slick Willie's the only dude whose been able to do it consistently. Therefore, the Left will continue to support Der SchleekMeister until the Right proves--via Re-Impeachment, Indictment, Convictions, and Imprisonment--that Americans are no longer falling fer Slick's schtick.

Bump back to the top with this info:

I think this happened in Eugene, maybe thread title needs changed again. Saw this a couple days ago, and the local station is rather proud of the video now, they play it on every news promo spot.

I have seen the video of this a few times, it's pretty much as described upthread. The sinkmaster looked like he was drunk.

Here is the account of the local reporter from http://www.kmtr.com

(no direct link to the article, it's in a frame - there is a small photo, didn't see a video):




Local Reporter Hits a Sore Point with Clinton
Carlo Brigola

After Clinton finished his speech and walked through the crowd NewsSource reporter Carlo Brigola got a chance to ask him a couple of questions close up. It was a rare moment that obviously hit a very sore subject with former president Clinton. After the traumatic experience of 9-11 and the war on terrorism, he asked the former president if he felt he should have done more to stop Osama bin Laden. Here is his complete answer.

“Mr. Clinton...do you wish you did more with bin Laden when you were in office.” “What did I do? You asked me the question. What did I do? I asked you a question. You asked me a question. What was it that I did?,” said Clinton. “You went after him. I’m asking if you should have gone after him harder.” Clinton said, “Let me remind you that the republicans who are now in power attacked me for what I did. They said he was not a threat at all. And when I told them he was the number one threat in the world they ridiculed me. Now they are saying I should have done more when they said I shouldn’t have done what I did do. Did everything I could legally do. I went after him, I tried to get him. I would have attacked him again if I had known where he was. We didn’t have the legal right to base soldiers or use airspace in the event of an invasion. So I contracted with people in Afghanistan and paid them with the CIA and the Intelligence committee and the republicans knew this. They were doing everything they could to apprehend him for years. I always thought he was a very serious threat. The proper issue is that I regret I didn’t get him and if I thought I could have done more I would have because I always thought then and I think now that the Al Qaeda network is number one threat to our security. In the short run, much more than Iraq or anything else. So, that’s why I said that if President Bush wanted to send more troops to Afghanistan to further the radication efforts, I would support that. Right. Now, we have only half as many troops in Afghanistan as we had in Bosnia to keep the peace after the war. So, yes I think that’s what we out to be doing.”

After that exchange, I went on to ask the former president what he felt should be done with the Iraqi situation. He said that diplomacy through the United Nations should be our first goal, which he said Secretary of State Colin Powell is correctly doing, but if that doesn’t work, Clinton says the use of force could be the only option.

Meanwhile, the cold weather didn’t stop folks from waiting outside Mac Court for a chance to see the former president. A line formed early this morning with people waiting to enter the building. This political rally was intended to not only gain support for senate candidate Bill Bradbury, but to get young people involved in the political process. Nonetheless, the big attraction was William Jefferson Clinton.

“I’m here to see Bill Clinton, period, only reason.” “I’m here also for both Bill Bradury and Clinton.” “It is freezing cold, but I am here to see Clinton, I thought he was fabulous and you know it’s great to be here. “ “Unfortunately I to am here to see Clinton, you gotta love Clinton, he’s such a draw.” Around 10:30, the doors opened and all these folks were able to get inside after security checks, and find their seats.

I do wonder if that reporter suddenly realized the feasibility of the body count, a matter which he has probably heard of, but, in typical reporter fashion, never bothered to dig into. Bill, and people like him, don't kill for some grand reasons, they kill to cover their sins and get revenge for slight offenses. No big conspiracy theories necessary to understand the bodies around him - just typical pettiness, plus power, run amok.

God sees it all.

Thanks for the ping, Mud. Kitkat, Mud, here's the Paul Sperry moment:

FIGHT CLUB: FURIOUS CLINTON ORDERS REPORTER BANNED AFTER GRILLING!

DRUDGE REPORT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1999 17:09:42 ET

Thanks NancyRides


**Exclusive**

A furious President Clinton has ordered a Washington reporter banned from the White House, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, after the reporter quizzed the president during a press picnic about illegal money from China and the campaign-finance scandal!

Paul Sperry, Washington bureau chief of INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY, was thrown off the invite list at the White House after he grilled the president for more than 10 minutes about various political scandals.

"It turned into a real shout match on the south lawn," one eyewitness told the DRUDGE REPORT.

At one point during the argument, President Clinton put his hands up to both sides of his head, wiggled them, rolled his eyes and gave Sperry a funny face.

"Make sure that guy never gets close to me again!" the president ordered one of his aides after the showdown.

White House press secretary Joe Lockhart, angry that Sperry transformed a family picnic into a confrontational press conference, told an associate that Sperry is a "Class A s**thead."

Lockhart personally informed Sperry during a phone conversation late Monday that he would never be invited back to the White House.

"The only regret we have is inviting you -- and we won't make that mistake again," Lockhart warned Sperry.

It began innocently enough.

"When are you going to have your next formal press conference, Mr. President?" Sperry casually asked Clinton while he was shaking hands and socializing with reporter and their families.

Clinton: "I don't know. I'll have one."

Sperry: "When?"

The president replied, "Why?"

Sperry: "The American people have a lot of unanswered questions."

Clinton: "Like what!"

Sperry: "Questions about illegal money from China and the campaign-finance scandal."

It was at that point that Clinton started to become unglued.

"Who are you with?" Clinton demanded to know.

"I don't like your accusatory tone. It sounds like you've already got the story written."

Sperry gave the president his business card and said that the public wanted answers about the allegations of illegal contributions from China.

Clinton: "I've been all around this country, and you are the first person to ask me about it. Not one person has brought that up... You want to know the only person who has been linked to money from China? Haley Barbour and the RNC, that's who!"

A red-faced Clinton began to rant about Waco, Republicans, the FBI and gun control.

Pictures taken by a newspaper photographer show Clinton wagging his finger in Sperry's face, Washington's version of THE FIGHT CLUB.

Sperry says he was stunned and "woozy" for hours after.

When asked on Tuesday if he felt intimidated during his one-on-one with the most powerful man in the world, Sperry said: "No, he's only about a half an inch taller than I am."

Yes I figured she will try to pull off something like that. And that's a probem because she makes women in general look weak. Not all women think affirmative action is the way to the White House! And Hillary certainly does not speak for me!

"We create our own hell on earth.
Clinton is turning into the Jake LaMotta of politics."
~bor

The best analogy I've heard, yet.

Can almost see 'em, now.

...desperately prying rhinestones outa a Presidential Seal using a screw driver.
