Did people really expect the President of the United States to admit
ON AIR to the world that he got a blowjob from some intern? I mean series, after hundreds of millions of tax dollars wasted on Bill, no telling how much job productivity was lost on the GOPs tactics, with nothing to show we STILL expected Bill Clinton...then President of the United States to say 'yes, I let her blow me?'

Did we need to go that far?

Series?

6. My sentiments exactly.
Another example of why I for one don't want to build a bridge BACK to the 20th century.

14. Right. This is 2007, not 1998
This topic should be forgotten.

15. With some creativity (and 9/11), you can make it 1998
(BTW it's been 2008 for a few weeks)

2007-1998=9
Subtract each digit individually (2-1, 0-1, 0-1, 7-8), and you get 1 -1 -1 -1. Add those together and you get -2.
Multiply 9 and -2 to get -18. Make that regular 18 because negative years are a pain in the ass.
***Here's where 9/11 comes into play***
First, change it to Date/Month because that's how the rest of the world works. you have 11/9
Multiply 18 by 11 and you get 198.
Now since the 9 in 9/11 is lonely, throw it in somewhere and you get 1998!

16. Forget Nixon and Reagan and George Sr and his spawn brood
from hell and all the bailouts and ripoffs and how the Constitution became a piece of toilet paper from Republicans to wipe clean their abuses of power.

2. Look, they didn't expect the gory details, just some honesty.
And I still maintain that had Bill done that, and basically said, I'm sorry, but basically it is my private life and none of your BUSINESS, it would've pretty much died. At least peoplew would've respected him.

As it was he did the worse thing he could've done.

3. I still haven't heard Laura admit she let George touch her.
Not that I blame her.

9. Like 911 and 2000, I can't.
I'm baffled that it is still a point of order.

5. the whole Lewinsky thing was always blown out of proportion, so to speak
the GOP spent 8 years doing nothing more than opening one bogus investigation after another, but once one of their own was in the WH, he could do no wrong.

And if the dems think that by NOT opening investigations into the far more serious actions of this WH, that the GOP will abide, they are sorely mistaken.

8. And some Dems want to make a big deal out of it again!
You have to wonder if some people would rather destroy the party than lose one campaign.

11. I don't know if they're really Dems. They certainly are reading from the Limbaugh
and Coulter scripts.

7. No, WE didn't. That's why Clinton had the people's approval rating and the witchhunting Repubs
were frownd upon.

12. Unheard Linda Tripp tapes:
"Linda, man, my job sucks!"

"Really, it does?"

"Yes, it really blows."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
