I don't know if there will ever be a way to make morons understand. carville put a bright red "it's just about sex" bow on that present, and it was enough for those who care only about how quickly and neatly problems can be tied up. It's just a shame that Republicans did not realize how completely the lie was bought. They gave the American Sheeple WAY too much credit for critical thinking skills. It's a real shame.

I predict history will not be kind to B.J. Clinton, despite their furious spinning. The facts are plain and accessible. After the present generation of liberal robots retire from history departments, revisionism will set in. Historians make their reputations by challenging the old conventional wisdom, not by "me too" writing.

A 500+ page biography? Hillary is in serious need of an editor.

If her father was that frugal, somehow I find him throwing toothpaste tubes out the bathroom window a "double standard" as well. Unless, of course, he threw it out the window, and then made the kids retrieve it.

As for Hillary chasing down "ghost voters"... What was she, 12 at the time? And she was given access to voter registration info?

[sport]

"Clinton is blunt when she writes about ...."

The book was written by a ghost writer or ghost writers.

How could clinton "writes about" if she did not write the book.

The book is typical clinton. Everything they have has been stolen from the labor of other people.

If I'm not mistaken, Rosty was one of the beneficiaries of Klintoon's pardon orgy in the last 48 hours of his pathetic presidency.

[What Is Ain't]

She tells how her late father, Hugh Rodham, who once ran a drapery business at the Merchandise Mart called Rodrik Fabrics, could not stand waste. His feelings were so strong that if Clinton or one of her two brothers forgot to put the cap back on a tube of toothpaste, "my father threw it out of the bathroom window.''

Translation: my daddy was an insensitve white male.

[katze]

No, but thanks, I'll have a look.

[South Dakota]

We should all know and remember that the lying under oath about Monica charge was just one of MANY that the house managers had. the monica aspect was the LESSER charge of all.

Gephardt, as the leader of the house dems refused to consider any charge but the sex one.

They protected their own

[ladyinred]

"Soviet-style show trial procedure,

well you should know all about that Hillary.

[Chu Gary]

I trust in the witch's bibliography she has given due credit to the FBI files which she had in her possession for even longer than it took her to find the Rose law firm billing records.

[Walnut]

I believe she was just faking not seeing the double standard in her statement. .

[Bommer]

Hillary Rodham Clinton writes in her new book that she saw a "double standard'' in how Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-Ill.) dismissed the news of his adultery that surfaced while Hyde was presiding over impeachment proceedings against her husband..... After being outed by Salon, an online magazine, Hyde acknowledged on Sept. 16, 1998, that he had a five-year affair with a Chicago woman in the late 1960s, when he was married.

Hyde was never under oath thworting a womans right to her day in court. Irononic isn't it. Hyde adulterous affair 25 years ago is relevent, but Juanita Broadwicks rape was called "Old News" by Susan Estridge on Hannity and Chimp!

...during the 1974 Richard Nixon impeachment--which she worked on as a Democratic staffer.

And here is more about this chapter of Hillary's life:

Hillary Rodham's 1974 Watergate "Procedures were Ethically Flawed"

By Jerry Zeifman

IN December 1974, as general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, I made a personal evaluation of Hillary Rodham (now Mrs. Clinton), a member of the staff we had gathered for our impeachment inquiry on President Richard Nixon. I decided that I could not recommend her for any future position of public or private trust.

[cyncooper]

As for Hillary chasing down "ghost voters"... What was she, 12 at the time? And she was given access to voter registration info?

Yes, this little tale has the flavor of bill's fictional memory of the church burnings in Arkansas during his childhood, or his riding in the back of the bus to emulate Rosa Parks as a mere lad.

[Republican Wildcat]

And that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary...

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm not sure about Rosty, but I know Mel Reynolds was. He liked YOUNG girls..

[cyncooper]

Remember Zeifman not giving a recommendation for Hillary after her unethical behavior working on his Watergate team?

She left that part out of her book! (I feign my shock.)

I see you posted quite a bit on the original thread I have linked above and thought you might enjoy a stroll down memory lane.

[cyncooper]

Remember when they were mulling adopting a child? This was claimed during the '96 campaign.

An absurd lie on its face that many in the media reported as if it were a sincere statement and not the manipulation that it clearly was.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I remember, cyn. Have it bookmarked.

Conservative radio hosts could use this Clinton spotlight to focus on the real legacy of Bill and Hillary: It's NOT the sex, it's the NATIONAL SECURITY.

Did you know that when Bill bombed the Sudanese aspirin factory in Aug. '98, it was on the basis of a sample from one cup of soil? He didn't even tell two of his own Joint Chiefs of Staff until after the bombing, and told the press there were things they couldn't know. Secretive, dishonest, shadow government = Clinton.

Creators Syndicate - www.creators.com 12/27/98 L. Brent Bozell III:

"Bill Clinton's decision to unleash the dogs of war as he tip-toes on the precipice of impeachment conjures up a vision of White House defense lawyer Greg Craig appearing before Congress declaring: "The President's military action was evasive, incomplete, misleading, even maddening - but it's not impeachable." There's no dodging the suspicion that Clinton is seeking to save his bacon by dropping some megatonnage on Saddam Hussein. After all, it's just what he did when he bombed Osama bin Laden's alleged facilities in Sudan and Afghanistan this summer. Both actions were launched with little or no consultation with Congress, and with too little consultation with the service chiefs at the Pentagon. Oh my, how the talking heads like Alan Dershowitz and NBC anchor-in-training Brian Williams are going nuts over that suggestion. How vile! How unpatriotic! What hypocrites. How about the Democrats? In 1983, Clinton defender John Conyers called for Reagan's impeachment for invading Grenada. (For good measure, he earlier called for impeachment over the Gipper's alleged "incompetence" in dealing with unemployment.) In 1984, as he ran for President, and again in 1986, Jesse Jackson suggested Reagan should be subject to an impeachment probe over U.S. actions in Nicaragua. Rep. Henry Gonzalez called for impeachment in 1983 over Grenada and again in 1987 over Iran-Contra. The National Organization for Women and the American Civil Liberties Union advocated impeaching Reagan in 1987. The major media didn't thump the tub for impeachment, but did suggest forcefully that Reagan's actions were even worse than the Watergate offenses that got Richard Nixon impeached. For example, in the January 9, 1984 New York Times, then-Senior Editor John B. Oakes proclaimed: "President Reagan's consistent elevation of militarism over diplomacy creates a clear and present danger to the internal and external security of the United States. Presidents have been impeached for less." Oakes wasn't alone at the Times. On December 12, 1986, columnist Tom Wicker offered an echo: "Mr. Reagan probably won't be impeached or forced to resign - though the offenses resulting from his policy, or his somnolence on the job, are more serious than any charge the House Judiciary Committee approved against Mr. Nixon.".So where are these noble folks today? Have you noticed how the words "War Powers Act" haven't been invoked much by the liberal media in the last, oh, six years, now that a President they favor is lobbing the bombs? Where are the calls for impeachment from John Conyers and Jesse Jackson? Where are the charges of abuse of power from the editorial pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post? Nothing but silence. Stinking dead silence.."

(July, '99) ''Osama!'' his son squealed excitedly. ''That's me!'' The boy, whose name was changed to Osama last year, is one of hundreds of Pakistani children named for bin Laden since Aug. 20, 1998 - the day the United States launched missile strikes against alleged terrorist camps run by the Saudi millionaire in eastern Afghanistan. The attack sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. But the response was particularly heated in Pakistan, which sends thousands of Islamic guerrillas to similar training camps in Afghanistan. ''I love his bravery and gallantry,'' the boy's father, Niaz Ali Salar, said of bin Laden. ''He boosted the morale of Muslims throughout the world.'' The local leader of the radical Barelvi sect of Muslims, Salar said he hoped his son would ''live up to his name'' and lead the war against ''the enemies of Islam.'' In Mardan, a crumbling tobacco center 75 miles east of the Afghan border, Islamic priests deliver diatribes against ''evil America'' during Friday afternoon prayers.

In Pakistan, few buy Washington's vilification of bin Laden, whom it accuses of masterminding the Aug. 7, 1998, bombings of two US embassies in east Africa and several other terrorist attacks. ''He's a man on the run, whose only friends are the Taliban. How can he be a threat to the world's most powerful nation?'' said Sahib Zada Khalid Jan Binuri, head of Pakistan's most influential Islamic seminary. ''It's all spin control. If America tells me, `You are a terrorist,' what can I say?''  Link

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED DURING THE CLINTON YEARS, #53.

[Pagey]

"Soviet-style show trial procedure..."

The sheer audacity to state that Billy Jeffs so-called trial was 'Soviet Style' is particularly offensive.The wretched woman should be thanking Spineless Trent Lott for refusing to put on a real trial and saying there was only going to be a few witnesses, that eventually turned into a 1 day experience by Ken Starr.She should be beyond ecstatic, that the world hasn't been able to see all of those boxes of evidence against B.J.(that most of the Senators refused to look at, much less allow onto and into the permanent record) that reside in the national archives now. She truly is one seriously ungrateful,manipulative and divisive human.Hey, Ms. Rotten, can I read your College Thesis YET ???
