Big Dawg on Larry King!

[Sweet Pea]

Did anyone see Bill on Larry King last night (I think it was) saying "The other fellow won it fair and square"???

I am Furious!

:mad:

[illflem]

1. One thing I realized about myself

watching Bill and Senior last night was how low my standards had sunk. Even though I detested daddy bush when he was prez I would welcome him in place of his evil spawn any day.

[SueZhope]

2. There was a post about this today at DU

3. I heard it. I cringed. He is too smart for that to be idle chatter.

Guess Hillary won't stand up for us on Thursday.:mad:

[BamaBecky]

4. WHAT is Bill Clinton's problem? How can he say such a thing?

Surely he is paying attention. Whose payroll is he on?:wtf:

[Freddie Stubbs]

5. Perhaps he actually believes it

:shrug:

[BamaBecky]

9. surely not.........n/t

[Freddie Stubbs]

11. He certainly doesn't need any money now

And he doesn't need anyone's vote either.

[graywarrior]

6. I'm sick of the dems. Politicians are all alike.

Self-serving, egotistical, out of touch assholes.

[Pam-Moby]

7. Come on here

Do you truly expect Bill to tell the truth when daddy bushie is setting near? When all else fails-lie
HAHAHAHA

[Freddie Stubbs]

12. The question wasn't even about the fairness of the election

KING: President Bush, this was, of course, everyone will agree, a brilliant show of unity today to have the two distinguished people like yourselves to combine together. There are some people who are saying that maybe some of the inaugural events can be -- the balls and the like -- can be canceled or tempered down. What do you think?

BUSH: I think life goes on. I don't think we can give up, should. I don't think it will help anything in Sri Lanka if the balls were, you know, peeled back in terms of the inauguration. I think they're separate questions, and the country, our country, can do a lot of things at the same time.

But what we're interested in doing is seeing that we get as much help as possible to the area. And so I don't buy into that. I mean, I think that's the decision of the president and the White House and the inaugural committee. And I don't like to see it get mixed.

You know, Larry, today, I was asked, well, "Did the president -- who is stingy" -- somebody accused him of being stingy, or somebody said he should have got this thing going two days earlier. That's beltway stuff. That's all, in my view, inside the beltway. It has little to do with whether we're going to succeed in what President Clinton and I are trying to do and what the president's trying to do. And so I don't...

KING: President Clinton, do you agree with what President Bush just said?

CLINTON: I do. I don't think that the -- you know, I voted for the other fellow, but President Bush won this election fair and square. And he ought to -- he ought to be able to have his inaugural. And his supporters should be able to celebrate it, however they see fit. And I don't think that it will detract one red cent from the money that we will give privately or publicly to this relief effort.

15. Even worse than I thought! Gad! He even defends the

most expensive Inaugural in history after this major disaster and the continuing war in Iraq! And someone should tell Poppy Roosevelt didn't say, "well, life goes on." He scaled back his celebrations!

[Machiavelli05]

17. you know that the inaugural festivities are all paid for w/ private money?

right?

[saracat]

18. That justifies it? It is unseemly and an insult to our soldiers who are

dying for nothing! It is also extremely insulting to the victims of one of the world's biggest natural disasters. But as long as it is private money, party on? How many people were parting after 9-11? My husbands birthday is 9-12 and we did NOT celebrate. We didn't feel it was appropriate. And think how much better some of that money could be put to use! $250,000 for some tickets and we have people dying because they can't afford medical care? Disgusting! But whatever.Not a problem.

[Machiavelli05]

20. then your problem is with all decadence...

not just the inaugural festivities.

[Machiavelli05]

21. how people spend their own money is their own deal.

If they want to be stingy, greedy, flashy and not live a life of temperance - than let them, you cant do anything about it. If they have sinned and have harmed their fellow man - they will be judged. You and I cant do anything about it - except lead our lives in a better way.

[alittlelark]

22. uh, yeah.......

Your posts have been.......uh yeah.

[Freddie Stubbs]

27. Which celebration did Roosevelt scale back?

:shrug:

[saracat]

35. The Inaugerations during the war.

[quiet.american]

8. Rope

All I can come up with at this point is that the Dems in the House know there's no way out of this chaos in four years and are rooting to keep Shrub in there to witness him hanging by the rope of his own mess.

Or, their ambitions are overpowering any commitment to the people they represent.

[Gloria]

10. I had to turn it off within the first 10 minutes....

even before that comment.

I'm sick over everything going on....

[OneBlueSky]

13. "Big Dawg" has become a little pup . . . yip, yip, yip . . . n/t

.

[mountainvue]

14. Sigh... Yes.

Sorry, I don't know what else to say.

[Democrat Dragon]

16. Remember that the last Dem to say that....

is now fighting against election fraud(Jesse Jackson).

Oh, and isn't Clinton a moderate?

[GetTheRightVote]

19. Hillary just lost my vote ever in the future, the Clintons making me sick

no way will I ever vote for her, no way. Siding with * is unacceptable.

:kick:

[RevCheesehead]

23. I hated the line in his "Library" speech that said

"Am I the only person who actually likes both President * and Senator Kerry?" My answer: Probably.

[Al-CIAda]

28. Slick Willy playing both sides.

I wonder if he thinks NAFTA, Telecom deregulation, and the corporate welfare he either signed or help set up are things to be proud of. How about all those pardons? What a 'legacy' he has for himself.

Treasonous POS.

[malatesta1137]

24. Nader was right

Repugs and most Dems are the same stinking excrement.

When our choices are once again tweedle dee and tweedle dum, we will vote for Nader or someone like him ALWAYS (Kerry was an exception, and we all know how THAT turned out).

29. they are all politicians

I doubt they even dislike each other. The extreme dislike is left for the everyday citizens of the country. The politicians, especially whichever group happens to be in the minority at the time, all realize that if they don't work with the majority they will never get ANYTHING so long as they are the minority. Politics is compromise. Just my opinion.

[McCamy Taylor]

30. Solidarity, Brothers ands Sisters! Divide and Conquer is a GOP Trick!

[McCamy Taylor]

31. For Those Who Think With Their Heads and Not their Hearts

What Bill Clinton is Doing is VERY Smart

This way the GOP can not call the Election Fraud Investigation Movement partisan since there are clearly prominent Democrats who are not part of it.

He is also reminding Americans that Democrats are very good at getting things done, unlike Republicans who are mostly good at tearing down, i.e investigating, invading and bombing. With Clinton organizing a relief effort for the Tsunami, Kerry exploring peace options in the Middle East and Conyers investigating vote fraud we see the Democratic Party both tearing down and building up.

[theboss]

32. They can call it "Fringe Partisan," which is worse

Without any major figures (aside from Jackson and it's not clear if he is still a major figure), it's easy to call those investigating things "the loony left."

[McCamy Taylor]

33. Conyers is not "fringe partisan", he is rock solid respectable.

[sunnystarr]

34. Guess the koolaid must be spiked pretty good. Just proves

that you can spin anything, anyway. Truth is Clinton by his words is deligitimizing our quest for the truth and for transparent fair elections. Notice he said "fair and square." What a slap in the face to the African Americans he purports to love and support. Is the systematic, concentrated, concerted, deliberate, unlawful effort of the GOP to disenfranchise the African American voters in TWO elections FAIR??? I'm sorry he makes me sick! I'm sorry I bought his book. NAFTA and his repeated pronouncement of the FAIR 2004 election just demonstrate the adage "with friends like this who needs enemies." The DNC better get it together or a new grassroots movement will put them in their place in '08.
