Story here.

Looks like Slick is back at it again.

This 3-day 'symposium' was to be a revisiting of 42's past. A retrospect of sorts. Not surprisingly, Clinton used it as a bully pulpit.

Here's an excerpt I find revealing:

"And he talked at length -- and with passion -- about how much he regretted agreeing to a special prosecutor to investigate Whitewater, saying he was "a naive person who believed in the rule of law." He called impeachment "an egregious abuse of the Constitution" orchestrated by former speaker Newt Gingrich, who did not mind "being a hypocrite."

I bet Slick really does regret calling that damn special prosecutor in :laugh: :laugh:

Wow, Pabbyboy is really good at trolling and lying. How about you edit the title?

He (Clinton)warned that he might be "disappointing" to some in the crowd who hoped he would fire shots at President Bush, because "I don't have anything to say about the last four years -- not at this program."

How about you try reading the article, instead of skimming for a quote?

Who cares what an ex-president has to say? He had his chance to change the world for the better for 8 years and blew it. He could not capture Bin Laden and Bush hasnt managed to do that either. If we waint long enough Bin Laden will just die of old age.

they all blow it, at the end of their terms, the system just defaults to the status quo. ultimately that is their job; maintain status quo. and as for bin laden, well he is of no concern.

I don't know, taken overall, I think Clinton's 8 years in office were some of the best in terms of many factors other than "The War on Terror". Economic prosperity, world opinion, domestic unity, etc.

Another story, different angle.

Well, not entirely different angle, but Yahoo's take on it. It specifically talks about Clinton referring to his impeachment as an "egregious abuse" of the Constitution.

Slick will never learn that he wasn't impeached for having sex with a fat intern. He was impeached for perjuring himself repeatedly to a federal grand jury, and, with respect to that, obstructing justice along the way.

About something that had no buisness being asked about except to smear him.
His private life is just that, and going on endlessly like anyone except partisan hacks care about the fact he had a mistress is laughable.

How did it affect his job? Maybe he likes a little pick me up before getting down to work, regardless it did not affect his job, but stalking him probaly did.

heh heh "job" (this is what bugs you all -the repression you crave)

Some guys like a lil extra nooky, and women like guys in power, mistresses are as old as leaders have been around, big deal.

I know its been said over and over but getting a blowjob did not get anyone killed.

You edit your posts so much it's difficult to ever address all the points you are trying to make :confused:

At any rate, people didn't give a rat's arse the guy had a woman on the side. Well, maybe Hillary did, but that's to be expected.

What people DID care about is the fact that he lied, perjured, and obstructed justice on several occasions, and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars when he could have just came out and admitted to it.

Wrong, people mostly laughed as far as I remember, of course the partisan hacks like you act like it was a big deal, but it was mostly funny, what did you expect him to do?

It was a mistress whoopee! At least he is getting blown unlike you self-loathing sex-haters.

JFK was boning Marylin Monroe :camera: supposedly too, as long as he kept the commies at bay and could juggle the hotties in his personal life (his wife was pretty hot too) go for it.

Women dig powerful, smart, and comassionate men, sucks to be a republican huh?

Was he ever formally charged with a single thing? Just asking Pabby, cause I don't think that you have a clue to the fact that he wasn't.

No, he wasn't. Your point? Both special prosecutors Ray and Starr wrote that they could have indicted him but chose not to. In Starr's case, he said he believed the crimes were too severe to let Clinton off with an indictment - he suggested impeachment, which is what happened.

Did you forget that Judge Susan Weber Wright found Clinton in contempt of court (for lying in the Paula Jones depositions) and fined him $90,000?

You also must be forgetting that the day before Clinton left office, he agreed to surrender his license to practice law for 5 years and pay a $25,000 fine in exchange for Special Prosecutor Ray ending his investigation without indictments against him.

You might be laughing now, but I recall Slick's impeachment by the HOR as a rather serious time in our nation's history.

Serious? No, to partisan hacks it was, To the rest of us (And I dont even like clinton) no more serious then any witch hunt, actually I remember "pathetic" being a big word used as they constantly dogged his private life.

Even more pathetic you still bring it up, it was pretty sad actually, and you know the thing that must really burn you guys?

After millions in harrassment later the dude still managed to do a better job all around then any of these necons since nixon.

Can you imagine what he could have accomplished if the right wasent on such a slimey smearfest?

Oh please. :roll: :cookie:

He never should've been put in the position to perjur himself over a sperm stained dress in the first place.

He never should have lied in the first place. Much like other incidents in other administrations, the crime didn't take him down. It was the attempts to cover-up and suppress everything.

"I did not have sex with that woman!"

then...

"Indeed, I did have an inappropriate relationship with Ms. Lewinsky..."

then...

"That depends on your definition of sex."

Reagan, on the other hand, committed much more serious crimes (particularly in connection with Iran-Contra), then lied to Congress about them. His death was treated as a national holiday, and Republicans are practically calling for his canonization.

Hey wait until you actually get to experience sex for yourself, especially if it's from a member of the opposite sex!

Maybe if it hadn't happened in the Oval Office?

So the fact that Bush f*cks the country every day from the oval office is of no concern to you? Decaying infrastructure, a lack of support to those who need it and where is the money going? Ahh yes... no bid contracts to Haliburton and to a war in Iraq that is increasing turning into a slaughterhouse.

Please, Clinton lied about an affair. Bush lied his way into a war and has so far cost the country 200 billion dollars and over 2,000 lives... not to mention the 30,000 or so wounded.
