		<description>&lt;i&gt;and right up until the time he perjured himself,&lt;/i&gt;
What, are you kidding? It was the whole raison d&#039;etre for the special prosecutor after they spend millions of dollars and could find &lt;b&gt;nothing&lt;/b&gt; linking him to Whitewater.

		<description>There you go again, &quot;Dr.&quot; Pee.  In what court was Bill Clinton convicted of committing perjury?

Just to remind you, BTW, frame is waiting for you on the Iraq thread.  I&#039;m sure you are already considering your rebuttal, right?

		<description>If there&#039;s one thing the Bush administration learned from Clinton, it&#039;s that you should never make the mistake of taking an oath before you lie.

		<description>&quot;I will reiterate that the entire Lewinsky debacle should have been a personal issue and not dragged through the streets like the Scarlet Letter.&quot;

I totally agree...and right up until the time he perjured himself, it was.  It was fully within his rights to say &quot;I won&#039;t answer questions about my personal life, next question...&quot;

Character counts....

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Still not getting it, Tom.&lt;/i&gt;

Please leave your personal problems out of the discussion.  Maybe once you stop fantasizing about your dog chimperor, you can get your head out of your excretory orifice and become a bit more reality-based.  Get out into the world more, instead of spending all day in liberal blog comments sections.  Then you could focus on getting a little more.

&lt;i&gt;Well, O.Y.E., meet a third category: Someone who saw Clinton as what I call a  bubba : a slick, fast talking guy, who s usually up to no good. The kind of guy who, when you shake his hand, you count your fingers.

I disliked him almost immediately after I heard him speak the first time (a Yale graduate with a hillbilly accent.) I really disliked him when he announced that he wore briefs on MTV: first, for doing so; and second, the idea of a grown man wearing briefs makes my skin crawl.

I might add, I don t like him now because he s a cult figure and a politician   a dangerous combination. The kind of guy who attracts people who think that the only people who dislike him, have something wrong with them.

To me, that s sick.&lt;/i&gt;

Sounds to me like you have some serious issues, dude.  Besides the memory problems, the projection of your Publican flaws onto Democratic individuals, and the irrational Clenis hatred.  Have you considered psychiatric help?

To me, your last graf here sounds almost exactly like the Publican response to anyone who dares to criticize their &quot;fearless&quot; leedur.  Funny how you can&#039;t seem to see anyone&#039;s cult-like adherence to the BFEE, yet every single Democratic politician and supporter in existence is sick because they, in their fanatical devotion to all things KKKlintoon, don&#039;t share your views on the Clenis.  What&#039;s that word again?  Hyp-, hypocr-, &lt;b&gt;Republican&lt;/b&gt;!  Yeah, that&#039;s it...

		<description>It just feels so &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt;. It really, really does. The only thing that could have made it better was if he&#039;d stood for re-election and lost. But this...this is just fine.

		<description>At least he&#039;ll go out swinging -

When asked about it during an hour-long session today, Tom DeLay said he thought that Rep. Cynthia &quot;S#!t Stain&quot; McKinney&#039;s behavior toward a Capitol Hill pollice officer was &quot;outrageous,&quot; and he pledged to do something about it. He said, &quot;If no one in this House files an ethics charge, I am.&quot;

Incidentally, there&#039;s not a whole lot of difference between your 1) and 2). So being President is all about about &quot;bagging tail,&quot; and getting blow jobs. Yeah, that&#039;s the ticket!

Sooner or later, there has to be book, written by a liberal, no doubt, entitled, &lt;i&gt;The President as Sexual Predator: A Celebration Of Clinton&#039;s Life.&lt;/i&gt;

It will on the New York Times bestseller list for years.

		<description>Sorry, Frank.  They were &lt;b&gt;mis&lt;/b&gt;leaders where I come from.  Maybe you&#039;ll recognize them in a minute.  And then you can tell me if they were leaders where &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; come from.

I am surprised that you are unfamiliar with Red Ink Ray-Gun, patron saint of the October Surprise, and the war on drugs?  Responsible for the loss of many marines in Lebanon, supplying Saddam with WMD, arming Osama bin Laden, the Keating Five (including young Kneel Putsch), and the tripling of the national debt?  Which, of course, are only the lowlights of the time he supposedly was in charge.  Before the Alzheimer&#039;s kicked in while he was still in office.

I am also wondering why you ask of PapaDoc, when you might have a clue as to who I refer to when I mentioned BabyDoc in past comments here, and could possibly utilize your awesome powers of deduction to get to the correct answer.  After all, you constantly read liberals minds, and tell them why they do what they do all the time in OW&#039;s comments sections.  I could go into exquisite detail about his activities before, during, and after his tenure - but I&#039;m afraid I&#039;ve run out of time for today.

Hope this helps to clear up any confusion about who I was referring to earlier...

		<description>Frank,

It&#039;s been my experience that Bill Clinton-haters generally tend to fall in one of two categories:

1) Uptight, prudish Bible-thumpers who can&#039;t deal with matters of human sexuality and who are crippled by their own sexual hangups and/or inadequacies;

2) Guys who hate Clinton because he&#039;s rich, successful, good-looking, super-intelligent and bags more tail in an average week than they will in their whole lifetime.

Bob Ney? Randall Cunningham? Bill Frist? Who? Who?

		<description>Tom, I&#039;m familiar with the sobriquet Tricky Dick, but I&#039;m not sure who Ray - Gun and PapaDoc Putsch are...

Were they leaders where you come from?

		<description>I&#039;m the one who said he disgraced the nation, as well as the White House. I&#039;ve thought that for some time, without any reference to polls, or the careers of other Presidents.

Clinton was not who he was &lt;i&gt;because&lt;/i&gt; he was a Democrat. He was egocentric and self - absorbed enough to have run in any party that would have him.

He was a charlatan, at best.

Here&#039;s a guy who was the Governor of Arkansas, the 49th poorest state in the Union. That never changed the whole time he was Governor.

His name was William Jefferson Davis Clinton, for cripes&#039; sakes!

And yet he convinced Maya Angelou (or was it Toni Morrison?) that he was our &quot;first black President.&quot;

I don&#039;t know if he was Svengali, Rasputin, or Mandrake the Magician, but that thumb between the fingers was hypnotizing somebody...

		<description>&lt;i&gt;So, where s the evidence that DeLay s predicament will negatively affect the Republicans?&lt;/i&gt;

I have no evidence, I admit it. It&#039;s an opinion I have that other candidates within the Republican party may not want to affiliate themselves with people who are under indictment, investigation for ethics violations, etc.
But perhaps the bad smell of Republican corruption has been around so long, some of us have become used to it. when you work in a septic tank long enough, you don&#039;t even notice it.

		<description>This was no &quot;Clinton did it, too!&quot;, either...

Duros said, &quot;It casts a stink on the whole party,&quot; in reponse to my saying that this will have no effect on &#039;06 or &#039;08.

I was just playing off that, and as O.Y.E. pointed out, it seems his popularity remains unabated.

So, where&#039;s the evidence that DeLay&#039;s predicament will negatively affect the Republicans?

		<description>I will reiterate that the entire Lewinsky debacle &lt;b&gt;should have been&lt;/b&gt; a personal issue and not dragged through the streets like the Scarlet Letter. The way the Republian Party and the Clinton-haters did.
DeLay has been &lt;b&gt; indicted&lt;/b&gt; for corruption. Fair game. &lt;b&gt;PLAY BALL!&lt;/b&gt;

		<description>I forgot to mention in my previous post that WikiPedia&#039;s entry on Nick Lampson is very good, and explains a lot of what is at stake in the District 22 election.

I grew up in Jefferson Co., TX, where Lampson served as tax assessor for many years.  I&#039;ve met him personally and I don&#039;t hold any animosity toward him.  Because this area is my old stomping ground, I&#039;ve been following the goings-on there for some time.

If you read Wikipedia,  though, you&#039;ll understand why Lampson was running in the first place (Delay engineered the jerrymandering of Lampson&#039;s old district) and realize why this is really no longer the same race now that Delay is out.  Lampson is somewhat of a hero to Texas democrats, since he recaptured the 9th district from Republican Steve Stockman in 1996 (which is a story in itself) but it is doubtful that he has enough momentum to beat a really well-funded Republican.
