Conservative callers defending Clinton on Bill Bennett's show

[Cocoa]

Bennett made a comment that no matter how bad Bush is, at least he didn't do what Clinton did.

Which unleashed a series of phone calls, and apparently emails too, from conservative callers that are so mad at Bush that they rejected Bennett's argument.

The last caller said that what he and other conservatives are so mad about is that Bush's policies (immigration, for him) affects their lives, while Clinton's personal indiscretions didn't.

1. oh, how I wish I'd heard that.

Maybe some conservatives are waking up and realizing that Bill Clinton was, in fact, the finest Republican President since Ike.

(and didn't Ike get him some lovin' on the side?)

[slor]

Gee...

they are finally getting the picture?

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. At least he didn't do what Clinton did?!

Good grief, if Bush got a hummer every once in awhile maybe he wouldn't be so damned intent on destroying the world.

[Justice]

4. What Clinto did was govern the country - Bush has never done that.

[Pacifist Patriot]

8. Can't argue with that!

[shadowknows69]

12. Whether you agreed with him or not

At least Bill was a leader. Shit, George senior was more of a leader than his son.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Bush wouldn't know how to handle it.

He'd say something like, "Ow, you're making my wee-wee hurt!"

[lumberjack_jeff]

21. The proof is in the polls

Here's the results of "what Clinton did". There's no comparison to the performance of the resident.

3. but but but.....

the response is so....logical. My head is about to explode.

[NJ_Lib]

6. C'mon... You're effing with me, right...?

That, I would have to hear before I die...

[distantearlywarning]

7. "Affecting their lives"

Too bad they couldn't figure that out, oh, about 6 YEARS AGO!!!! Some people are so freakin' stupid it blows my mind.

[Ganja Ninja]

9. Was that the high rolling, habitual gambler Bill Bennett?

The same one that enjoys an occasional dominatrix session? The author of "Book of Virtues"? Mr. Morality himself?
:eyes:

[Daphne08]

10. Bennett is a right-wing zealot and CNN should never had

hired him. I cannot abide the man.

[Left Turn]

25. Seriously

Bennett has done nothing to distinguish himself on CNN. He's been nothing but a big 'ole target for us liberals to go after. The man has serious foot-in-mouth issues. CNN should think these things through before they just indiscriminately hire random conservatives in a weak attempt to immitate Fox News.

11. Bennett v Clinton - the Slot Jockey vs the Slut Jockey. n/t

[Chimichurri]

13. about time they've come to this obvious conclusion. WTF took

them so long?? I mean look how bad it had to get for them to finally come into the realm of reality.

[seabeyond]

14. affects their lives, while Clinton's personal indiscretions didn't.

about damn time. this has been a huge duh from day one. only took them over five years

[TahitiNut]

15. Pick any city in the world.

Let Clinton walk down the street at midday, with less than a dozen bodyguards.

Let Junior walk down the street at midday, with less than a dozen bodyguards.

Compare.

I rest my case. :shrug:

[Arkansas Granny]

16. I wasn't aware that Junior walked down public streets. All I ever

see of him, he's getting on AF1 or the chopper, getting off AF1 or the chopper or standing behind a podium smirking.

:shrug:

[AllieB]

17. Has hell frozen over?

I bet Bush's poll numbers are much worse than the MSM are letting on.

[Rob H.]

18. "...while Clinton's personal indiscretions didn't."

And yet, during Monicagate you couldn't turn around without bumping into some bloviating rightwing nutbag frothing at the mouth about, "it isn't that he lied, it's that he lied to me." Newsflash, nitwit: what the Big Dog does in his private life is NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.

[DinahMoeHum]

19. What's worse? Screwing an intern or screwing the country?

'nuff said.

:evilgrin:

[chaumont58]

20. You're right, but this is Bennett's thinking!

And I wonder if it isn't just right wing nuts, but the beltway whores too. The NewYork Times can't get its mind off the Clintons' private parts. How far behind will the WaPo be? Bush starts a bogus war, which causes the death of 2500 American service personnel and thousands of Iraqis. We are told to move along, nothing to see here. Clinton gets a blowjob in the Oval Office and its a constitutional crisis.
There is absolutely nothing like knowing what's important.

[DinahMoeHum]

24. As the "Good Book" says: ". . . strain out a gnat. .

but...swallow a camel..."

:evilfrown

[JNelson6563]

22. Coming from the Bookie of Virtues

that means a lot. Not.

What an ass.

[Arugula Latte]

23. What? What?! WHAT?!

That argument is no longer holding water with these people after all these years and approximately 58,787,399 repetitions? ... Will wonders never cease ...

[Quixote1818]

26. I have even seen some over at Free Republic defend Clinton

They hate Carter now but with a few of them Clinton is not so bad.
