Clinton repels park snark

[muchacho]

Bill Clinton fought back when he ran into a verbal mugging in Central Park.

The former President is said to have been strolling through the park with his Secret Service team recently when a man pushing a stroller taunted, "You were an embarrassment to the office of commander-in-chief."

Lakshmi Kumar, writing in Citizen Culture magazine, says she saw Clinton stop and deftly tell his heckler, "Oh, really? I think I did a helluva job.... I'll admit I misled people about my personal life. And I have even apologized for it, but I never misled the people about policy and I certainly never misled the people about going to war."

Clinton is said to have spent 45 minutes taking questions from a mostly adoring crowd, then told his detractor: "I hope your children turn out to be as perfect as you are, sir."

The group applauded and Bill walked to a nearby SUV, where, Kumar says, Sen. Hillary Clinton looked impatient.

2. That's my president

:toast:

Can you imagine Chimpy ever responding calmly to a detractor? The fool would just run away.

4. Exactly! If a crowd on the street started to question the chimp.

The Secret Service would drag him into a bunker.....and why not? Who knows if they have signed the loyalty oath!

3. way to go, bill!

of course the son of a bitch in the park wants to complain about shit that is none of his beeswax.

[Justitia]

5. I love it! No common street repuke will ever get one over The Big Dog

So glad he did not let him get away with it either!

6. I really hope the snotnose "debunkers" don't try to knock this one out

Because I desperately want it to be true.

7. Now imagine Bush* in this situation.

Possibly getting so upset that he doesn't really say anything, or his Secret Service agents having to remove him from the situation before he does something stupid.

[JHB]

8. No, the Secret Service would tackle the heckler...

...and probably charge him with threatening the president and child endangerment.

(assuming he and Jr. weren't GITMO'd...)
