The brilliance of Bill Clinton
I think some of us are missing what Clinton is doing here with all the Lewinsky questions. He's using them as an opportunity to bash Ken Starr and making Republican extremism an issue. Remember, two-thirds of the American people did not support impeachment.

1. His comment on the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"
he said his quiblle was with the word "conspiracy" since most of it was right in the open.

Damn, he is good, isnt he?

2. Very good point
Starr has virtually disappeared from public view and Clinton remains a vital part of American society. I mean Clinton talked about his foundation doing good work for AIDS patients in Africa and probably elsewhere, whereas Starr is doing...??? Who really knows? Its probably nothing good for society as a whole.

3. Let's just say
I don't think Ken Starr is someone the WH and GOP want to reemerge as an issue. And Clinton is doing just that.

6. They gave Starr the job
at Pepperdine University. It is an Al Queida type of university for Right wingers.

4. Starr is probably
at PNAC, teaching young lawyers the morality of producing legal justifications for torture in the name of the WOT or something equally morally reprehensible.

5. He is BRILLIANT
and he's just begun! By the time he's finished with all of his interviews, the RWers won't know what hit 'em! WTG, Bill! I love that man. He's aging well, isn't he? ;)

8. Bill Clinton's IQ: 185; George Bush's IQ: 91
See above. Bush's IQ is less than half his predecessors.
I guess anyone can become President, even an idiot.

10. He was attacked incessantly for ten years
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 01:56 PM by Parrcrow
by the right wing Arkansas Project, the Federalist Society, Newt Gingrich, Ken Starr and ridiculous elements in the media. It cost tens of millions of dollars and the worse thing they could find was a blow job.

Lets admit it, he's got to be considered an extremely ethical man as well. Who else could stand up to such hostile scrutiny?
