Close encounter with Bill Clinton

<p>Laura is wonderful.</p>

<p>That rascal Clinton! Outfoxing his handlers so that he could do the naughty with an overly eager youngster! What a disgusting man! And he LIED under oath. Presidents shouldn’t lie, for goodness sakes! And he committed rapacious acts under the guise of Foreign Policy so that Americans could enjoy the hell out of the benefits of that rapacious policy. He’s sooooo terrible but we’re all as good as kindergarteners in Sunday school. We’re soooooo good. I love us!</p>

<p>My friends know Bill and they all say the same thing: sexy as anything and has been since Georgetown days. </p>

<p>driver, are you saying Bush is sexy or lovely? Just curious.</p>

<p>It’s very well-documented that only Republicans/supporters are allowed close to Bush. In the imagery-making mind of Rove, he directs that Bush is never seen close to those who (like a striking majority of the American people) think he is incompetent, stubborn, inarticulate, not actually in charge but in fact managed, and one of (if not the) worst presidents of all time.</p>

<p>There was an article about this in the Wall Street Journal, I think it was last week. Bush was in Idaho, but even many Republican faithful were turned away because a listing of party affiliation was not available, so they used micro-targeting techniques to try to find supporters and sympathizers.</p>

<p>Anybody who thinks Bush is accessible to any voter is living in a huge state of denial. This is in very stark contrast to all other presidents and certainly Clinton.</p>

<p>Vote him out tomorrow.</p>

<p>I really didn’t mean to sidetrack so many of you righties from the other forums on here - although I know how Clinton just makes you all see green - but really, don’t let me further delay you from getting back to helping college kids on here.</p>

<p>Wait! You didn’t know this is a college forum?! Well - check it out:</p>

<p>Weenie, I think you have a good shot at getting into Oberlin with merit money. I’d like to see a few more leadership ECs, but you’re on the right track. Have you thought about taking up a sport?</p>

<p>

Must be why you documented it. I’m incredulous. No, wait, you’re Incredulous…wait…</p>

<p>Clinton is pretty universally despised, by lefties and righties. You aren’t gettin out much, weenie.</p>

<p>“Universally despised” relative to what? Certainly not relative to GWB, at least these days.</p>

<p>No, seriously Driver, I think this cafe is a nice addition to the board, but really, I think all of us need to be occasionally trying to visit the other boards – sort of as pay back to those who foot the bill for this forum.</p>

<p>PS My son has injured his knee (sounds kind of bad too) and can’t play ultimate. He’s very unhappy.</p>

<ul>
<li>who Stood By Her Man and deserves a peaceful domestic life, I’d make a play for Bill any day.<br></li>

<p>His years in the pilot’s chair have caused a huge number of Americans to feel very nostalgic for his time in office - even my father, 87, a retired AF Colonel who has voted Republican in every election, tells me “Clinton was the best President we every had.” He wishes he could go back in time and vote for him. As for me, I wish we didn’t have term limits and he was still running the country.</p>

<p>I used to work with someone who just loved Clinton, then again she thought OJ was innocent too. And if I should ever meet Clinton in person, I am going to thank him for that conversation about oral sex I had with my ten year old.</p>

<p>The correct term du jour is a ‘lewinsky’.</p>

<p>ebeeee—great point. Living through the Clinton presidency with children was kind of like driving around listening to Howard Stern with your kids in the car. Inappropriate.</p>

<p>Living through the Clinton presidency might have been inappropriate; living through the Bush presidency has been harrowing.</p>

<p>I choose inappropriate any day.</p>

<p>Sigh, I guess I don’t want either one. Inappropriate or harrowing. Kind of like choosing between death by fire and death by water.</p>

<p>I dunno. I had to ask my 20 year old son if he’d had any inappropriate text messages from married but gay and predatory Republican congressmen or meth addled evangelical Republicans. Safe so far…whew!</p>

<p>Yeah, Bush has visited our small population state twice, and no one can get in to see him unless they have a ticket from a Republican! Thus guaranteeing him gushing crowds!</p>

<p>Cheers, it’s gotten to the point on the Hill that Republicans can’t ask each other “Are we on the same page?” for fear of being understood.</p>

<p>SS, speak for youreself. I’d vote for Bill Clinton for a third term if it were legal. I might have to vote for the other one instead.</p>

<p>When I won my division in the 1973 Orange County Academic Decathalon (second overall – do you think this will help me get into Georgetown?) one of my prizes was an all-expense-paid-trip for me and a high school teacher of my choice to visit Governor Reagan in Sacramento. I got to shake his hand, chat with him for a minute, and received an autographed photo with MY name on it! Y’all might think Clinton has charisma, but that only means you never met the Great Communicator in person.</p>

<p>I saw Eisenhower. Yes. Please top that. I was on my father’s shoulders waiting to get on the Pirate/treasure Ship ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, and he got off of it with his grandson David. There were crowds around all day whereever they went. I was more excited about the Babes in Toyland parade however. Life was so simple then. Ignorance was bliss.
Later saw Nixon give his last attempt at Good PR speech. Kissinger was supposed to be the speaker but I guess they were looking for a good photo op for the evening news. He arrived by helicopter as a surprise change guest. Naval Academy graduation 1974. He resigned in August.</p>

<p>I encountered Alexander Hamilton in a park and we strolled a bit together.</p>
