amazingly ignorant RW email I received today
the mind boggles. How ignorant and stupid are these people?


Bill &Hillary:
Worse than you thought &worth remembering and this came from a Democrat

Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for
Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my
"Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica
Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick.
Did
I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really
planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with him, but
now
he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place
(especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to
know
is what the meaning of "it" is. It really is great to know that certain
sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one
does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new
generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag
the
Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look
graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and
John
Kennedy look moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th
Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying
about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's
from
the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal
convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our
foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully
disguised as necessary trips.

9 Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I really didn't
need
it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of
recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars)
for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your
cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other
administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of
convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them
rejoin society. (Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor
of
Arkansas)

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that
Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming
gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for
vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also
appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen,
towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.)
out
of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less
tax
dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!

13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar
advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance
for
your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!

14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to
let
Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in
Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part
of
the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to
release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not
release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the
time,
Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted"
that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and
eventually
thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade
Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the
time
that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US
from
all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth?

What a guy!!

If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts,
pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending
my
taxes so wisely and frugally.

SINCERELY,
A US Citizen
PS.
Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the
Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful,
factual
e-mail.

AND THE REST OF THE STORY Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State
Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing
Plan,"
which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives
her
Congressional salary until she dies. (Would it not be nice if all
Americans
were pension eligible after only 4 years?)

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is
already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary
outlives
Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that?

WE DO!

It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency,
they
purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York.
Makes
sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still
makes
sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at
around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within
the acreage to house the Secret Service agents.

The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the
use
of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage
payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's
salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the
salaries for their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal!

When she runs for President, will you vote for her?

1. When do we get to thank the repukes for pedophiles?
This email has been posted here before. Of course it is crap. The last part about the secret sevice applies to ALL former presidents. It isn't like Clinton is getting a special deal the rest of them don't get.

5. The last part is a *perfect* reason to vote for Hillary!!!!
Why give these benefits to yet another family? Voting for Hillary will save the taxpayers a bundle of cash since she already is eligible for these great benefits.

7. This came from a 'Democrat'?
Which one? Fred Phelps?

I love the fact that half of them are related to the Lewinsky scandal...

A few about 'vandalizing the white house'...priceless.

The last one prooves this was written by a FReeptard and not a Dem.

9. One tidbit of ammo from Snopes
No rent charged to SS:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/landlord.asp

Would imagine if all the other parts of that POS email were queried on Google, holes coul dbe shot in all of them.

AS for introducing an 8-year old to oral sex... :rofl:

Yeah...Bill did that. It was the parent's duty to allow the kid to watch and learn all the media whores had to say :sarcasm:

:rofl:

10. This crapola was just FULL of laughs!
But THAT was the one that got to me, too!

How did an eight-year-old learn about oral sex from Bill Clinton? Did Bill come to his house and personally explain it to him? Did CNN run video footage to show how it's done?

Why would ANY eight-year old be glued to NEWS coverage about anything, by the way, no less anything to do with politics?

Good God, some people are honestly too stupid to be out in the world unsupervised ...

and Republicans hadn't been so obsessed with Bill Clinton's penis, it would never have been news anyway.

11. A line-by-line rebuttal
Edited on Tue Oct-10-06 12:18 PM by Tarc
Its like a "Righty Greatest Hits" comprising every idiot chain-letter of the last decade. Feel free to send this as a rebuttal;


1 - One confirmed intern liason and bunch of ambulance-chasing fabricators.
2 - Perhaps now the kid won't grow up as sexually repressed as most right-wingers are.
3 - Bill Clinton was never found guilty of anything of the sort. That's why we have the judiciary, and not mob justice.
4 - Thank you for reintroducing the concept of "petty partisan politics".
5 - Non sequitur.
6 - Irrelevant.
7 - Blame Kenny Starr for turning a probe into real estate deals into a vndictive witch hunt.
8 - That same thanks should go to Bush Sr. and staff who began the cuts, and to the GOP Congress of the 90's who demanded it as well.
9 - I think the richest 1% of America who saw their taxes go up under Clinton could afford to put off the 2nd yacht purchase.
10 - Disingenuous #1. Every governor and Prsident has done this in their last day in office.
11 - Disingenuous #2. There was a dispute of whether gifts give to the Clintons while in office belonged to them or to the office.
12 - Disingenuous #3. Outgoing administrations playing pranks in the last days is a long White House tradition. I'm sure that some missing "W" keys from keyboards and a doorknob or two did not cripple the nation.
13 - I believe this is called "capitalism", something which conservatives usually embrace with open arms. When they aren't being hypocritical, that is.
14 - Absolutely and unequivocably debunked; http://www.snopes.com/rumors/atta.htm

And the addendums;
Al Gore - Misconception; http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp
The Rest - Debunked; http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/landlord.asp

12. This is why Hillary can't win. True or not, it doesn't matter,
because they have been attacking her for years, and won't even have to spend a dime to make half of America hate her.

13. Doonesbury FAQs
Re the strip of 5-26-02. Please PLEASE Help! A Republican friend of mind absolutely refuses to believe that 29 Reagan appointees were criminally convicted. "Of what?", he demands to know. Can you fill me in?
-- Brian C., Seattle, WA
Who were the 29 Reagan-era convictees, and what were they convicted of?
-- Lorenzo C., LA, CA



Number of Reagan administration era convictions in the Iran-contra scandal: 14 (two overturned on appeal).
Number of Reagan officials convicted for illegal lobbying: 2 (Michael Deaver; Lyn Nofziger, overturned on appeal).
Number of Reagan officials convicted in Housing and Urban Development scandal: 16.
Total number Reagan era convictions: 32 (the number cited in the strip -- 29 -- arrived at by subtracting the 3 overturned cases).
In addition, Bush pardoned Reagan's Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, indicted on 5 charges.

Moreover, the record of actual convictions doesn't tell the whole story. Over 30 additional Reagan appointees resigned or were fired following charges of legal or ethical misconduct, including Secretary of Interior James Watt, Secretary of Interior Raymond Donovan, CIA Director William Casey and EPA Administrator Anne Burford. Many dozens more were investigated.

Contrast this to:
Number of Clinton officials indicted or convicted in Whitewater, Travel Office, FBI files, Monica Lewinsky, Bruce Babbit, Michael Espy investigations: 0
Asst. Attorney-General Webster Hubbell was convicted of embezzlement, a crime he committed before joining Clinton Administration.

22. Henry Hyde once famously asked "WHAT WILL WE TELL THE CHILDREN?"
Answer:"Hell I don't know you're the moron who brought it up"

Does anyone think that there isn't a direct corelation to today's teenagers, oral sex, and the main story for all of 1998 (8 years ago) being about a blow job?
