"Clintigula" and his total lack of shame never ceases to amaze me. How 'bout you?

Oops, sorry about that reference to "stain." An obvious slip of the tongue.

Or was that Monica?

I think you're being a little unfair here. One of these guys was a murderous, acquisitive, backstabbing SOB with weird sexual proclivities and a staff that spent most of its time plundering, scamming, and covering up for various crimes. The other was Roman.

Clinton and Caligula have something else in common too. They both got their horses placed in the senate.

At least Caligula put the whole horse in the Senate.

In Clinton's case maybe only a part of the horse was elected to the senate, although in her case, a very prominent part of the horse.

Reminds me of a quote that should go down as one of the best of the 2000 campaign, from the host of short-wave radio show who goes by the name "Frank from Queens" (New Yorkers may remember him as a weekly caller on Bob Grant's radio show):

"Folks, this is one of those defining moments in American history. God help us all if Caligula of the Ozarks is succeeded by Nero of the Smoky Mountains."

So the Slickmeister is complaining that Ben Laden did not blow up the WTC during his administration?

But, as I recall, they did. And then Slick sent a bunch of $2,000,000 missiles at some $10 tents and hit a camel in the b*tt.

This may explain why Frau Slickmeister is going around looking like she just had sex with her husband.

How sweet it is to envision Clintigula despairing in his study while George W. Bush ably and proudly leads our nation through its greatest challenge - with the whole world watching. Oh,ignomy! Oh,oblivion! Oh, squandered opportunity! (Oh, divine retribution.)

Clinton's "defining moment" is still on Monica's dress.

Hey Bill, you gotta point there, but it wasn't me who insulted Caligula. Don't shoot the messenger! (ha ha)

Good one. Is it fair to say his legacy went down the drain (as in the Oval Office sink)?! It would actually be funny if it weren't so true.

Yeah, but spaceman, didn't you hear? He missed bin Rohdam just by an hour.

If I hear that sorry excuse for a sleaze bag spin that tale one more time, I'm gonna vomit.

Caligula's Memory Stained by Comparisons to Clinton

Great Title!!

You remember that awful feeling that got, back as a teenager, whan you realized that your parents had actually had sex?

"This may explain why Frau Slickmeister is going around looking like she just had sex with her husband."

Excuse me, I gotta go throw up...

AC, isn't it funny how you don't hear anyone saying they wished Gore was in office to deal with this crisis?

From "Citizen Clinton" upon the death of the title character:

...As the narrator intones the following monologue, we see a montage of shots, showing various Clinton confidantes in orange jumpsuits, interspersed with quick scenes from various congressional hearings, and shots like that of Bill Clinton's famous finger-pointing denial, Al Gore toasting with Chinese dictators, the Branch Davidian compound burning to the ground, the blown-up aspirin factory in Sudan, and so on.

NARRATOR: Legendary was the corruption and scandals that occurred during the reign of Caligula, third emperor of Rome! Caligula, it is said, exploited the trust and power that he had inherited from the more honest and stable emperors, Augustus and Tiberius. Caligula's bizarre behavior illustrated the depravity that can ensue from the volatile mix of absolute power and a total disregard of honor and duty. Today - almost as legendary - is the legacy of William Jefferson Clinton. His administration still produces daily revelations of the depth of it's corruption, nearly a quarter century after his reign ended.

TITLE: IN HOLLYWOOD LAST WEEK WAS HELD 2023'S STRANGEST FUNERAL

Shot blends into a scene of a funeral in Hollywood, California.

NARRATOR: Tinseltown, tarnished and tired, is the only town in America where the former president is still revered. The year of 2023 bears witness to one of the strangest funerals ever held. Laid to rest here - a potent figure of the last century - America's Caligula - William Jefferson Clinton. He was despised by his enemies, loved by his admirers, worshipped by a fawning (lowered vocal tone) - some say complicit - (normal tone resumes) liberal media. The funeral for this last, larger-than-life figure of "The American Century" is marked mainly by the spotty attendance of the entertainment industry's has-beens... and never-weres.

Shot of an elderly, weeping Tim Robbins, falling into the arms of an equally distraught Bronson Pinchot...

Prior to Sept. 11, the Klinton administration was patting itself on the back about how it had kept the economy in such great shape (and blaming GWB for the current downturn). Now that GWB has hit the highest public support in history, Bill whines that "he never had a chance to do anything of this magnatude".

Hmmmm....
