I generally don’t feel bad for politicians in any office, but I’m beginning to consider an
exemption to my rule for President George W. Bush. In fact, I’m really beginning to have
more than hard feelings and anger against former President Bill Clinton.
It seems every time Bush attempts to focus the spotlight on current issues, Clinton
somehow steals the spotlight for himself. In some situations, that wouldn’t be a bad
thing, as most of politics is little more than a game, but in this case, it’s another sad
saga in American history, and a new chapter in the history books.
Since leaving office on January 20, Clinton has been able to capture headlines at least
several times each week because of the fumbling, bumbling, conniving, looting, attempted
rape of taxpayers for office space, and the bribes he accepted for unconditional
presidential pardons. Well, to be fair I would say that he is being investigated for
possibly accepting bribes, but you know what? I’m not in any mood to be fair to a lying,
cheating worm who did more to deface the Office of the President of the United States than
anyone else who has ever occupied that office.
The latest debate over presidential pardons has finally seen the release of donor names to
the Clinton Presidential Library. Maybe with those names, and perhaps some CIA checking
into Swiss banks, direct bribes will be discovered. What can be done? Well, not much. The
kind, generous folks that Clinton pardoned are secure in their newfound freedom and life,
although society and history may cast a bad light on them, despite the presidential
pardon, which excuses and erases any mark against them for prior crimes.
In addition to Bill, I find it hilariously funny that Hillary is following so closely in
the footsteps of her husband. Perhaps they helped each other prepare for this moment in
time, practicing the art of deception and lying. There can be no other explanation. They
both were elected to public office, unfortunately. They both have had their fingers linked
to all kinds of legal problems, as well as ethical and moral issues, and they both find it
necessary to lie about their involvement and knowledge of all issues. Well, what else
would be expected? Just think about it for a minute. If they admitted they were involved
in some of the illegal activities they’ve been tied to, they would also have faced
criminal prosecution.
Now, just over a month since Hillary was sworn into office as a New York senator, at least
one newspaper, the New York Observer, is calling for her to resign because of her
involvement, or even the appearance of her involvement over the bribes-for-pardons
problems. In fact, the newspaper actually endorsed her during the Senate race. The paper
has even begun addressing her as “Slick Hillie,” a parody on the coveted title earned by
Bill “Slick Willie” Clinton for his many bungled lies, interns, prostitutes, phone sex,
and other dirty deeds.
Writing in the newsgroup alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater, a writer identified as Dr.
Fuji Kamikase said he is against the newspaper’s call for Hillary’s resignation.
“Actually I have to disagree with this call for Hillary Ramrod's resignation from the
senate. After seeing her last night at Bush's budget review I think it is terrific that
the cameras dwell on her. It reminds everyone, or it should, of what a lying, crooked, and
self-perpetuating sack of sh** most Democrats are,” Kamikase wrote in his March 1, 2001
posting.
The New York Observer article said, “It is clear now that we have made a terrible mistake,
for Hillary Rodham Clinton is unfit for elective office. Had she any shame, she would
resign.” The paper endorsed her over former Republican Rep. Rick Lazio.
When Hillary was asked about her knowledge of her brother’s involvement in obtaining
pardons, she said she wasn’t aware he had been involved in any of the pardons. Aw, come
on, Hillary. He’s your brother, and you were the wife of the president. Do you honestly
expect anyone to believe that you were never told by Bill, your brother, or anyone else
that he was seeking pardons? Not in this lifetime.
After listening to Bush’s address to Congress on his plans for tax relief, Hillary was
asked what she thought of the newspaper’s call for her resignation. She simply replied, “I
have no knowledge of it at all.” Isn’t that the same line Slick Willy used a lot?
One of her spokespersons, a Karen Dunn, attempted to dismiss the newspaper’s resignation
call. “Senator Clinton is working hard every day for the things New Yorkers care about,
like fighting for better schools and health care," Dunn said. “The observers that matter
the most in this regard are her constituents.” Wow! I guess the editors, reporters,
pressmen, advertising sales staff, and others at the paper, including the New York
Observer’s readers, aren’t constituents. Or would Dunn apparently try to dismiss her own
statement?
