Quote of the day
This passes for presidential qualification material, my friends:
Civil rights icon Andrew Young says Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is too young and lacks the support network to ascend to the White House.
In a media interview posted online, Young also quipped that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has her husband behind her, and that “Bill is every bit as black as Barack.”
“He’s probably gone with more black women than Barack,” Young said of former President Clinton, drawing laughter from a live television audience. Young, 75, was quick to follow his comment on Bill Clinton with the disclaimer, “I’m clowning.”
Whether “clowning” or not, chances are that Young is right on the money. However, in his perverted and warped mind, he probably really does think that Bubba tappin’ more black tail than Barry O makes Bubba more “black” than Obama. Not exactly helping to dispel the “real black men f##k as many b#tches as they can” stereotype, are we, Young? And to think this jackass was once a UN ambassador!
Exit question that you know is coming: what would the level of outrage had been in the moonbatosphere and the MSM had a Republican white or black said the same thing?
Night and Day
Bubba now:
During a campaign swing for his wife, former President Bill Clinton said flatly yesterday that he opposed the war in Iraq “from the beginning” — a statement that is more absolute than his comments before the invasion in March 2003.
Bubba then (2004):
On whether Bush was right to invade Iraq
…
That’s why I supported the Iraq thing. There was a lot of stuff unaccounted for. So I thought the President had an absolute responsibility to go to the U.N. and say, “Look, guys, after 9/11, you have got to demand that Saddam Hussein lets us finish the inspection process.” You couldn’t responsibly ignore [the possibility that] a tyrant had these stocks. I never really thought he’d [use them]. What I was far more worried about was that he’d sell this stuff or give it away. Same thing I’ve always been worried about North Korea’s nuclear and missile capacity. I don’t expect North Korea to bomb South Korea, because they know it would be the end of their country. But if you can’t feed yourself, the temptation to sell this stuff is overwhelming. So that’s why I thought Bush did the right thing to go back. When you’re the President, and your country has just been through what we had, you want everything to be accounted for.
I mean, that he’s a liar is clearly not a surprise to anyone. But you figure the dude would come up with a system of being a little more organized so he can better remember his lies and avoid public humiliation like this.
Her Highness’ campaign stops in…Ireland?
Ah, yes…those coveted Euro electoral votes! From the Beeb:
Guess who is coming to dinner in Dublin?
None other than former US president Bill Clinton, who is mingling with a host of Ireland’s elite at a fundraising bash on Saturday night.
The 1,600 euro (£1,145) a head dinner is in aid of his wife Hillary’s presidential campaign fund – and the places have been much coveted.
The Irish-Americans for Hillary Group said they could sell the 140 available places over and over again.
…
The paper said that some Irish people who were so desperate to attend the fundraiser have been seeking out US citizens through whom they can channel the $2,300 (1,600 euro) admission charge.
Never let it be said that Shrillary doesn’t adapt. If you can’t get your hands on some Chinese funny money, go for some Irish green. Here’s guessing that there will be no legal repercussions for such a flagrant violation of federal election law.
Bubba: Opponents of criminal immigration are like Al Qaeda
When he’s not busy playing “The Humidor Game” with portly homely interns, Bill Clinton is busy tarring opponents of criminal immigration as bloodthirsty camelhumping jihadists hellbent on the destruction of America. From Slate:
Did Bill Clinton really compare the opponents of “comprehensive” immigration reform to Al Qaeda? You make the call:
In Onawa, for instance, he mused on the world view that “says all that matters in life is our differences” — seeing it at work in everything from the dark philosophy of Al Qaeda to the U.S. immigration debate.
“The Al Qaeda people think that all that matter are our differences, and ‘You do it my way or you deserve to die,’” he said.
“You see it in more benign but also troubling ways in America when something happens like that recent incident in Jena, La.,” he said, referring to the prosecution of six young black men that has been criticized as racially motivated.
“You see it in very complicated ways in the context of what do to about immigration, what’s the best way to get a handle on illegal immigration,” he said.I think he did! It’s a banal thought, too.
Well, shut my mouth and call me Sally! Who knew that we had so many Americans who oppose amnesty “Al Qaeda” in the American electorate?
Props to Bubba for challenging Truther
Yes, I said that Bubba deserves credit for this. I may never say that again, but I call it like I see it. From WCCO:
Clinton’s 50-minute speech, which started about an hour behind schedule, was derailed briefly by several hecklers in the audience who shouted that the 2001 terrorist attacks were a fraud. Rather than ignoring them, Clinton seemed to relish a direct confrontation.
“A fraud? No, it wasn’t a fraud,” Clinton said, as the crowd cheered him on. “I’ll be glad to talk to you if you shut up and let me talk.”
When another heckler shouted that the attacks were an “inside job,” Clinton took even greater umbrage.
“An inside job? How dare you. How dare you. It was not an inside job,” Clinton said. “You guys have got to be careful, you’re going to give Minnesota a bad reputation.”
Minnesota has a bad reputation for a number of things, like entertaining the notion of sending moonbat and not-that-funny “comedian” Al Franken to the Senate, not to mention them sending Keith Ellison to the House.
Bubba’s still a slimy SOB, but on this single occasion, I give the man his due. Troofers iz dum!
Ringing endorsement: Fidel luvs Hilldawg/Barry O, misses Jimmah & Bubba
From al-Reuters:
Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is tipping Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to team up and win the U.S. presidential election.
Clinton leads Obama in the race to be the Democratic nominee for the November 2008 election, and Castro said they would make a winning combination.
“The word today (from whom? – Ed.) is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate,” he wrote in an editorial column on U.S. presidents published on Tuesday by Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper, Granma.
Who’s your buddy, Fidel?
Castro said former President Bill Clinton was “really kind” when he bumped into him and the two men shook hands at a U.N. summit meeting in 2000. He also praised Clinton for sending elite police to “rescue” shipwrecked Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Miami relatives in 2000 to end an international custody battle.
…
He said his favorite U.S. president since 1959 was Jimmy Carter, another Democrat, because he was not an “accomplice” to efforts to violently overthrow the Cuban government.
The commie dictator just loves him some Democrats, doesn’t he?
Bubba lied about ordering assassination of bin Laden
Bill Clinton a liar? Get outta here! From Red State:
Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball, weigh in on the scathing CIA Inspector’s General Report the CIA didn’t want us to see.
Buried on page three of the web exclusive is a passage which shows that Slick Willie lied during his September 2006 encounter with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. As I’m sure you remember, during an interview, Clinton erupted in anger, became unhinged, pointed his finger at Wallace, and boldly asserted:What did I do? What did I do? I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since.
Isikoff and Hosenball write the IG report criticized intelligence problems when Clinton was president, “detailing political and legal ‘constraints’ agency officials felt in the late 1990s.” Then they mention Clinton’s 2006 temper tantrum and explain Clinton’s prevarication:
Clinton appeared to have been referring to a December 1999 Memorandum of Notification (MON) he signed that authorized the CIA to use lethal force to capture, not kill, bin Laden. But the inspector general’s report made it clear that the agency never viewed the order as a license to “kill” bin Laden—one reason it never mounted more effective operations against him. “The restrictions in the authorities given the CIA with respect to bin Laden, while arguably, although ambiguously, relaxed for a period of time in late 1998 and early 1999, limited the range of permissible operations,” the report stated. (Scheuer agreed with the inspector general’s findings on this issue, but said if anything the report was overly diplomatic. “There was never any ambiguity,” he said. “None of those authorities ever allowed us to kill anyone. At least that’s what the CIA lawyers told us.” A spokesman for the former president had no immediate comment.)[Emphasis added]
So now we can see why Clinton went nuts when asked if he did enough to get Osama bin Laden – he knows he did not do enough.
…
No matter how many times I watch that video, it always make me think of Clinton getting on national television, pointing his finger at the camera and saying “I did not have sexual relations with that woman…”
I know, pointing out more Clinton lies is like throwing ice water on the Titanic: it’s just not necessary to make the point, is it?
Night & Day
John Conyers (Moonbat-MI) then on presidential pardons/grants of clemency:
Is this the same Conyers that voted AGAINST a resolution condemning Clinton for giving clemency to TERRORISTS?[EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE CONGRESS THAT THE PRESIDENT SHOULD NOT HAVE GRANTED CLEMENCY TO TERRORISTS — (House of Representatives - September 09, 1999)]
NOTE: The resolution (H.Con.Res. 180) passed by a vote of 311-41; 72 voted ‘present.’ (Tally available here.)
And here’s what Conyers had to say THEN:
“Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to what is clearly a politically motivated and totally senseless resolution. We are a Nation of laws, and if any matter is abundantly clear by our Constitution, it is that the President has the sole and unitary power to grant clemency. Is there any Member that does not understand that? Every President has the sole and unitary power to grant clemency…Now the reason that he has the power to grant clemency is that it is that the President is uniquely positioned to consider the law and the facts that apply in each request for clemency.”
Conyers now:
“In light of yesterday’s announcement by the President that he was commuting the prison sentence for Scooter Libby, it is imperative that Congress look into presidential authority to grant clemency, and how such power may be abused,” John Conyers said. “Taken to its extreme, the use of such authority could completely circumvent the law enforcement process and prevent credible efforts to investigate wrongdoing in the executive branch.”
“If any matter is abundantly clear by our Constitution, it is that the President has the sole and unitary power to grant clemency. Is there any Member that does not understand that?” Apparently, Mr. Conyers, the answer is “Yes, there are Members who don’t understand that.” Or should I say “don’t remember that”?
BTW, Tony Snow weighed in on the matter of Bubba and Conyers flapping their gums over the Libby thing:
The White House on Thursday made fun of former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, for criticizing President Bush’s decision to erase the prison sentence of former aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.“I don’t know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it,” presidential spokesman Tony Snow said.
Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., has scheduled hearings on Bush’s commutation of Libby’s 2 1/2-year sentence.
“Well, fine, knock himself out,” Snow said of Conyers. “I mean, perfectly happy. And while he’s at it, why doesn’t he look at January 20th, 2001?”
In the closing hours of his presidency, Clinton pardoned 140 people, including fugitive financier Marc Rich.
Quote of the day
From Jack Kelly:
“Scooter” Libby will serve as much time in prison for lying under oath to a federal grand jury as Bill Clinton served for lying under oath to a federal grand jury.
Quote of the day, with some perspective
From Globe Gazette:
Mason City VFW members are refusing to march in the Clear Lake Fourth of July parade Wednesday because they are not being allowed to fire their rifles.The Secret Service, in Clear Lake to provide protection for former president Bill Clinton and his wife, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, will not allow firearms in the parade, said Jim Kantaris, quartermaster of VFW Post 733 in Mason City.
“There’s too much political stuff. They’re making us change 50 years of tradition because of two people,” said Kantaris. “And one of them is a draft dodger who turned the White House into a whorehouse.”
While I certainly love the “White House into a whorehouse” comment, I have to disagree with Kantaris’ view on the gun thing for one reason: it is a security issue with a former president and his partner in crime “wife” there.
Obviously, I’m no fan of Bubba or Shrillary, Duh. But I have enough respect for the office of the president to know that former presidents should be entitled to maximum protection, and while the guns may fire blanks, it’s still a security risk. Yes, it sucks to deviate from tradition, but them’s the breaks.
Chutzpah, thy name is Bubba
Awesome analysis by the jaw-dropper (in more ways than one) known as Bill Clinton:
…
Former President Bill Clinton criticized President Bush on Tuesday for commuting the prison sentence of I. Lewis Libby Jr. and tried to draw a distinction from his own controversial pardons.Yes, that’s right. The perjurer who sold pardons for fun and profit is criticizing Bush for commuting Libby’s sentence. My friends, that kind of chutzpah ought to be bottled up and sold on the market, so pure and potent is it.
In Iowa to promote the presidential candidacy of his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Mr. Clinton was asked by a radio host, David Yepsen, “You had some controversial pardons during your presidency; what’s your reaction to what President Bush did?”“Yeah, but I think the facts were different,” Mr. Clinton said. “I think there are guidelines for what happens when somebody is convicted. You’ve got to understand, this is consistent with their philosophy; they believe that they should be able to do what they want to do, and that the law is a minor obstacle.”
Replace the “theys” with an “I” and you have the truth. We’re looking at a true sociopath here, a man who never let a pesky little thing like the law get in the way of a good time, a man who turned the Oval Office into the next best thing to a brothel, a man whose serial indiscretions earned the official desigination of “bimbo eruptions,” lecture Bush on the single commutation of a sentence that was the result of a highly dubious investigation into a crime that never occurred. And this man might wind up back in the White House.
“It’s wrong to out that C.I.A. agent and wrong to try to cover it up,” Mr. Clinton added. “And no one was ever fired from the White House for doing it.”Well, that’s because Richard Armitage did it, and he didn’t work in the White House at the time. But it’s a useful lie, so Bill Clinton is the surest man on earth to wield it.
Mr. Clinton pardoned 140 people in the final hours of his presidency, including Marc Rich, the fugitive broker who had been charged with evading tens of millions of dollars in taxes, and who was the former husband of a top donor to Democrats and Mrs. Clinton’s first Senate campaign.Rather than tread lightly on the Libby commutation, the Clintons have chosen to confront it; Clinton advisers said there was no real alternative, because the news media would bring up the Rich pardon anyway.
They’ve chosen to confront it they way they choose to confront everything–by lying, dissembling, and then going on the offensive.
Just let the record show that Mr. Clinton is a perjurer who had his license to practice before the Supreme Court taken away. Let the record show that he sold pardons to his rich friends. Let the record show that he’s still a brazen liar. And let the record show that it was his pal Sandy Berger who stole sensitive documents from the National Archives, hid them under a trailer, then took them home and destroyed them to cover up something that the Clintonistas didn’t want going public, and remember that Berger’s actions made the 9-11 Commission’s work incomplete, and we’ll never know what he covered up. And let the country remember the missing Rose law firm billing records that mysteriously turned up in the Clintons’ White House residence, and all the rest of that sordid mess that the Clintons drag around with them like a trailer park full of skeletons wherever they go.
I’d like a large order of hypocrisy with a side order of myopia and shamelessness to go, please.
"Bernstein: Clintons Would Operate Joint Presidency"
From the NY Sun:
If Americans elect Senator Clinton as president next year, they will also be re-electing her husband, according to the author of a new biography of the former first lady.Carl Bernstein, one of the reporters who broke the Watergate scandal which brought down President Nixon, told the Daily Telegraph that the couple would operate a joint presidency in which President Clinton would advise on policy and tactics as well as act as troubleshooter.
“There is no question in my mind it would be a co-presidency because he has better judgment than she does on most political matters. He would be a constant presence,” Mr. Bernstein said.
And exactly how would this differ from the Bubba presidency? This confirms what the rest of us have already known: (1) the Clintons don’t have a “marriage” as much as they have a “power-sharing partnership”; (2) Her Highness is NOT going to “be her own woman” in this campaign or in her (God in Heaven forbid) presidency, should we have the misfortune of experiencing it.
Bubba named in Vegas hooker bust
Hat tip to Kanaka Girl for letting me know of this. From the Las Vegas Review Journal:
Esperanza Brooks bragged about her discreet girls and high-end clientele.But the cheerleading coach turned moonlighting madame name-dropped to the wrong people and landed in jail last week.
Las Vegas police arrested Brooks, 36, and four associates last week after a two-week investigation into the local prostitution ring. The investigation started when a tipster told detectives about a cheerleading coach at Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy who might be running a prostitution service.
When an undercover detective called Brooks, she said her girls were clean and only serviced upscale clients, a police report said. She later boasted that she had more than 40 women working for her and that her clients ranged from basketball star Shaquille O’Neal to a former president, according to the report.
“These are not your average girls. Some of them have worked with Bill Clinton,” Brooks told an undercover officer, according to the report.
Police don’t have any information to prove or disprove Brooks’ clientele claims, Officer Jose Montoya said.
Oh, I’m sure it’s not true. After all, it’s not like Bubba’s got a track record of multiple instances of philandering, right? With Shrillary running a campaign, this has got to make her angrier than Jesse Jackson in a room devoid of cameras and microphones.
I report, you decide. Exit question: Which is tougher, believing a prostitute or believing Bill Clinton?
Left outraged that Fred Thompson finds his wife attractive
Hilarious and damning observations from Ace:
Deviating from the Bill/Hillary! model they favor.Dr. Helen wants to know:
When I look at my husband with affection, am I leering?
I guess not since I’m a woman and can do no wrong except for being a right-leaning libertarian. However, if you’re a man, particularly a Republican man, who looks at his wife with affection, you are now accused of “leering”–especially if you are Fred Thompson.
…
This is yet another example of a woman who deep down believes that men have no right to leer at women, lest it be considered a sex offense. And she is not alone, there are many other women who feel that unless one is Bill Clinton or the object of their own lecherous desires (of course, for these women, their own desire is called empowerment–not lechery!), a regular joe has no right to look at a woman–not even in pictures–with desire in his heart. In their eagar quest to control men’s sexual rights, some “feminist” women (and other prudish ones too!) go to extremes to shame, expose or intimidate men who let their lust for women dare come to the surface.Weird. Feminists continue insisting that it’s empowering to f### everything that moves, except your actual husband, who must be sexually punished as a state-sanctioned enforcer of The Oppressive Patriarchy.
…
Honestly, The Feminists Who Put Out (TM) are really ruining their “pro-sex street cred” by constantly nattering on about everyone’s base sexual impulses.Why don’t you all just chill out, pop open a bottle of wine, and dig on the cool grooves of kd lang and leave the rest of us alone?
Ace should have given me the beverage warning before dropping a “STFU and jam to kd lang” reference. That was hilarious!
Continuing:
Am I to understand it’s wrong for Fred Thompson to leer at his wife, and yet the lefty feminists have no problem with Bill Clinton leering at 22-year-old Monica Lewinksy’s thong, nor turning her into a Human Humidor?Really?
I guess Fred Thompson had better start diddling an intern, quick. It’s the only way to insulate himself from charges of lechery.
I’ve always considered feminists to be a bunch of humorless, hypocritical, disingenuous, unintelligent and hyper-emotional nags. Stories like this only confirm that notion.
