Only 11 percent will remember Clinton as a good president.

When you look at BJ's approval rating from when he left office, this is an incredible drop.

We musn't forget:

"It depends on what your meaning of the word "is" is."

It takes quite a personality to come to OWN a word like, "is."

Clinton himself, his minions from his administration, and the MSM kneepad groupies keep his name in circulation.

The more time that passes since his lackluster Presidency, the less prominence he has. Just four years after his leaving office, only 11% consider him a 'good' President.

Yet, the MSM groupies continue the gushfest fawning over him at every opportunity. They can't bring themselves to the realization their idol is of clay feet.

That was the mantra of the Democrats and their big-media stooges during the Clinton impeachment trial. "Yes, he lied under oath, but it was all about sex," they intoned.

Now, in an ironic twist, a new poll reveals that most people think the Clinton years were indeed all about sex.

He he he--hoist on their own petard.

Clinton must now spend the rest of his life watching his ever increasing irrelevancy.

And the Democrats think he was the greatest President of all time. The irony!

Always remember to add slick willie to keywords because slick himself said that name cuts the deepest of all the names he was called. Of course he was probaly lieing about that too.

More of that poll's internals, from Nation Review Online:

The Stain

Americans remember Clinton for “That Woman.”

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is text from a Nov. 22 release from the polling company, inc.

When asked, "In your opinion, what will Bill Clinton be remembered for?" a majority of Americans cite some aspect of the former President's relationship with the White House intern, and a plurality mention her by name.

Washington, D.C. — Despite the fact that Monica Lewinsky's name is only mentioned two times in the new Clinton Presidential Center, a majority of Americans think of her or her affair with Bill Clinton when they reflect on the most memorable events of the Clinton Administration, according to a recent national poll of 800 adults. Respondents were asked to reveal what they thought Bill Clinton would be most remembered for while in office in an open-ended question unprompted by pre-arranged response categories.

Specifically, 53% of Americans named "Monica Lewinsky" or the "affair, adultery, sex scandal" as the most memorable moment of President Clinton's eight years in office, more than four times the number who cited "the economy" (12%). Another 19% noted positive attributes about the former president, including 11% who remember him as a "good president."

Though the new Clinton Presidential Center states the former President developed "the world's strongest force for a 21st century community of peace and prosperity, freedom and security" only 6% of respondents mentioned any type of foreign relations as part of the Clinton Legacy, including a paltry 1% who identified him with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Additional key findings from the survey:

When asked "What will Bill Clinton be remembered for?" 31% of respondents mentioned Monica Lewinsky by name, while only 1% said his wife, "Hillary Clinton."

Seniors (65+) were twice as likely as the overall population to remember Clinton as a "good president," while younger adults (18-34) and those aged 35-44 (read: parents) especially likely to name "Monica Lewinsky" when they think of Bill Clinton's legacy.

Men are more likely than women to cite "Monica Lewinsky" by name when they hear "Bill Clinton" (34%- 30%, respectively).

African Americans and Hispanics were less likely than Whites to connect the Clinton legacy to some aspect of the sex scandal, but still named it as their primary top-of-mind recall.

Every demographic group surveyed volunteered some aspect of the Lewinsky Affair as the one thing they think Bill Clinton will be most remembered for, including some of his biggest supporters.

Impeached and disbarred. Waco. Elian. Columbine. OK bombing. US Cole. Embassy bombings. Israel/Palestine peace failure. Whitewater and several dozen other scandals. Suspicious deaths. The destruction of Democrat majorities in Federal and State government. If Republicans hadn't balanced the budget in his 2nd term and forced him to pass welfare reform the media would have nothing nice to say about him.

And everytime I see him, he looks sickly I wonder how many others he has raped and infected

" ... the Clinton years were indeed all about sex."

Rape is not sex. When I think of the 'toon, I think of him first as a rapist (Juanita Brodderick and others), secondly as a powerful man who preyed on women (Kathleen Willey and probably others) in their weakest moments.

After that ...

#3 Shameless pardoner
#4 Draft-dodger
#5 Self-promoting huckster
#6 Serial adulterer
#7 Consummate politician

I remember him for Gennifer Flowers! I could tell from her interview before Clinton's first term, that this was one sad loser.

So how many times is Gennifer mentioned in the new "presidential" library?

Peter Jennings asked Clinton why historians rated him second to last among his fellow presidents in terms of moral authority, Clinton nearly bit his head off.

So, who's number 1?

People have had time now to reflect on the administration, without the daily spin from the Clinton protector's media.
