Fascination with Clinton and Monica returns...
Im amazed but not really surprised that the press and media have taken Clinton's autobiography and focused solely on the 16 or so pages that deal with his affair with Lewinsky.

How is it that 8 years of a presidency, not to mention his life gets ignored for the most part? Listening to these people, you would think that the affair defined Clintons time in office.

Now, when you look at how things are, how many of you wish the biggest problem going on was whether or not Bush lied about a blowjob?

I hope someone from the media reads this and realizes that if they would put just half the effort into questioning this administration as they do in re-visiting the tawdry affair of Clinton, they might actually recover some of their credibility.

Meanwhile, all the blowjobs in the world will not erase the good that Clinton did. I for one, miss Bill.

3. A couple of things about Lewinsky still need examining.
First among them being Starr's granting her transactional immunity.

"Transactional immunity, legal experts said, is the broadest kind of immunity, excusing any of Lewinsky's prior conduct in exchange for her testimony. Because it is unlimited, this type of immunity is rarely granted; "use immunity" is more common." (Emphasis added.)

"Under the terms of the immunity deal, Lewinsky will not face any legal jeopardy provided she testifies truthfully. That point had been a significant sticking point in the negotiations because Starr wanted her to plead guilty to some charge in exchange for immunity, but that was Lewinsky's primary objection."

CNN story 7/28/98.

The second thing that needs some real scrutiny is this: How did Lewinsky just happen to be in the right place at the right time to make the first move? Who was she working for?

:freak:

4. Been there and done that.
I was totally sick of it then and I'm sick of it now. If only the crimes of our regime could get a fraction of the "outrage" and media coverage, we wouldn't be in this horrible mess now.

5. Sex Obsession...As Explained To Me
An acquaintance put it the following way:

Repugnicans men wants BJs and can't get them, and despise any man who does...or any woman who gives as being a "slut"

Repugnican women are the ones forced to "service" their men and hate both the act and the men who participate in it.

About the best explanation I've heard why these people can't get over this thing.

Meanwhile here in Illinois we've got a moron Repugnican attempting to parse his own kinky sex life as no big deal.

This all from the party that has more divorces...LOL! Family Values...isn't that a pharmacy in Ohio???
