Riddle me this, Batman.

If Bill Clinton is, as the conservatives claim, the MOST corrupt President in the history of this country, why is it that after years of intense investigation by Ken Starr, the most the Repukes could hang on him was a "technicality?" (Kay Baily Hutchison's words, not mine :))

And, why is it that they have such a selective memory when it comes to Nixon and his henchman, Kissinger, putting Augusto Pinochet into power? You know him. He was that dude who was every bit as evil as that other dude....whatshisname....oh, yeah....Saddam Hussein. Why isn't Nixon the most corrupt president, EVAH?

1. ..and why does Poppy seem to prefer Clinton's company to that of his son?

[unpossibles]

5. because as evil as Poppy is

he is at least somewhat competent. His son is an idiot, and even GHWB knows it.

[ClassWarrior]

8. He's the harpie's boy. Neil is Poppy's fave.

NGU.

15. I thought Bar preferrred Jeb, "the SMART and HANDSOME one" nt

[JimmyJazz]

Hey! I'm asking the questions here!

But, that's a really GOOD one! Thanks :D

[RandomKoolzip]

2. Fuckin' hippies, that's why.

I don't know what that means. I just thought I'd tell you the response *I* get from conservo-cons when I ask them those kindsa questions.

[unpossibles]

3. because they needed someone to whip

after Iran-Contra, when people started to get a whiff of how evil the Bullsh Crime Family really is.

They wanted to take down whomever beat Poppy Bush after his "3rd term"; Clinton just happened to be there.

4. There's a rare condition that only affects Republicans called...

convenient amnesia.

:dunce:

[ClassWarrior]

6. You're such a Joker!

B-)

NGU.

[johnnie]

7. The best I can figure is..

The repukes have their heads up their ass.
Does that answer your question?..lol.

[JimmyJazz]

9. Shhhh! I'm trying to make people think that I'm a serious poster.

Is it working? :)

[SeattleGirl]

11. Um, no....

:rofl:

Hey JimmyJazz, how are you doing? :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

18. Dammit Jim, I was doing fine until you messed with my chi!

:hi:

I thought the bit about Pinochet that I threw in there might lend my post some credibility, but you don't seem to be fooled. Drat and curses. :P

[johnnie]

12. Mine was a serious answer

Wasn't it? :shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

20. Thank you for taking me seriously.

:loveya:

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Nixon isn't the most corrupt president ever because Reagan is

And after Fuckstick is out of office, he will then become the most corrupt president ever.

[JimmyJazz]

16. I think it's a tie between Nixon and Reagan.

Pinochet/Watergate/Reneging on Paris Peace Treaty v. Iran/Contra....Dude, that's close.

[never_get_over_it]

13. I'm pretty sure it is projection

anything they accuse us of you can be sure that is what they are doing. The most outrageous of this was some freak Representative about a month before last year's election I saw on CSPAN - he was ranting about how the Dems were collecting money to fight the election outcome That the Dems couldn't win at the polls so they had to win in the courts - after I stopped laughing myself silly I called his office and asked the person answering the phone if her boss was freaking insane!!!!?

[JimmyJazz]

17. nu-uh - fer real? Someone had the nuts to actually SAY that????

Aloud? Jeez - do they even listen to themselves? That's pretty much up there with Kay Baily Hutchison calling perjury a "technicality."

[MADem]

14. Let us look at the COST and RESULTS of these investigations

CLINTON: $40+ mil, and few halfassed blow jobs at the end of the day.

MONKEY: $1 mil over two years, a compromised covert CIA asset, a war, 2,000 dead...and we shall see.

[JimmyJazz]

22. Don't forget, it was also about a cigar and a really

cheap dress. :eyes: All this for a mere $40 million dollars.

[MADem]

25. Indeed, the GAP may never recover!!!

And let us not forget BORDERS bookshop, where the thugs wanted Miss L's record of purchases!!!

May they stick serrated 'leaves of grass' (or better yet, glass) up their arses!

[bridgit]

19. there's no way in hell clinton is the most corrupt prez in history...

they're still trying to remove the stank from the WH drapery left by: nixon, reagan, bush I, and now the boy-king-caesar...it's a big chore requiring all of their attentions & obfuscations imo

[JimmyJazz]

21. OMG! I remember having conversations with my parents when

King George I was running for President and them trying to convince me he knew nothing about Iran/Contra. I remember telling them that, as the former head of the CIA, he sure as shit knew about Iran/Contra. But, if by some miracle, he didn't know, then he is as dumb as a bag of hammers and shouldn't be elected!

[bridgit]

26. i've thought that about the entire bush family, they ascend...

to wherever they are feeling it is their birth right as in money equals monarchy; like 'the next most reasonable thing to do' being who they are and all that. no particular expertise in it just, you know, maybe running HUD, or the veterans admin is beneath their calling so it's all 'head of the cia/president of the known world' and stuff like that. but i'm with you = dumb as a bag of wet mice imo

[tamtam]

23. You answered your own question my friend

Selective memory. Also, Clinton lied about SEX oh dear Jesus. They say Clinton was the most corrupt because in their sick little heads he was. Clinton set their evil little plans back some years so that makes him corrupt. They didn't plan on Clinton coming along and charming the American people. Clinton's approval rating was too high so rigging an election was out of the question. The only pawn they had left was character assassination. Now Regan, well he was baby jesus so anything he did was justified.

They are the epitome of hypocrisy and they justify it by claiming the moral high ground while wrapping themselves in the flag. Of course Du'ers know this but the GOP lemmings are keeping busy these days.There are gays to disenfranchise and white babies to save. They don't have time for pesky little facts and right and wrong.

[JimmyJazz]

24. Do you ever allow yourself to imagine what Clinton could have accomplished

IF he wasn't so hamstrung by the Repukes hatred of him and all the investigations? I hear some of the talking heads speak of Rove being "distracted" and I want to throw the remote through the television! If Rove is "distracted," imagine how Clinton must have felt. After all, Rove isn't the Presid....oh wait. I take that back.
