When Clinton was President the country enjoyed unprecedented economic prosperity, was respected and admired around the world and with the help of Nato and other countries disposed of a war criminal in the Balkans and brought a peaceful resolution to the bloodshed in Bosnia. He did all of this with a mad dog, partisan Ken Starr wasting millions of tax dollars investigating every phony charge by rabid Republicans who's lust to regain the the Presidency was so great they almost pulled off a illegal bloodless coupe. And the mainstream media aided and abetted them trying to fend off the accusations of being liberal. Even to the point of giving up their objectivity in reporting facts to jump on the get Clinton partisan media bandwagon. How quickly we forget..........Lets examine the Clinton scandals. Whitewater, after $60 million tax dollars down the drain in investigations, the Clintons were found totally innocent. And then the scandals about firing Republicans that worked in the White House, what a joke. And oh that despicable, Hillary, she had the nerve to try to jam subsidized health care down our throats. And finally, Monica and Paula Jones. The former, guilty of an extramarital consenting affair, the latter, in Rumsfeld's famous qoute about the end of the Iraq war, "who knows"..........I couldn't help thinking about this and comparing these so called scandals to this weeks revelations: Tom Delay, even my Republican friends are now dis-owning him and denying that they ever supported his tactics extorting money and fixing elections for Republicans. They are even re-writing history and extolling Gingrich as the right kind of political power broker. They somehow conviently forgot, Gingrich was Delay's mentor and confidant, and left Congress in disgrace....Here is a real scandal. Delay is a real crook, and President Bush supported his every move and Cheney and Rove gave him kudos and guidance for his law breaking and money laundering.........Then there were more official documents out of Britain, that Bush was planning to invade iraq no matter what the UN did, Saddam did, the Congress did, or the American people wanted, and Blair had better go along with it......Then finally, the Libby revelations, 2 years after Bush's re-election by stupid, brainwashed red state voters. Go ahead call me an elitist but these people that voted for Bush in this last election don't deserve to live in a Democracy, nor do the 50% of eligible voters who didn't even bother to cast a ballot. So Libby said in court testimony that it came right from the top dog, the leaks of classified information designed to dis-credit war critics and specifically Joe Wilson and led to the outing of his CIA agent wife, and "who Knows" the damage done to our covert intelligence community. Oh yeah, as Scott McClellan said in his press briefing trying to defend this , there are good leaks and bad leaks, and Bush is only guilty of good leaks to defend our post 9/11 security. Yes, folks, if Bush says so black really is white, and even though Bush had said many times before he hates leaks and the people that reveal them, this information was so important he just had to leak it. Of course McClellan and the President never said why he couldn't call a press conference or put out a official statement with this information he just had to leak to protect our security......Meanwhile he's still pushing his tax cuts for the rich, saying he's above the law in domestic survelliance, and he won't consider changing our losing and costly direction in Iraq.....Clinton despite his over active libido was a saint compared to Bush.
