Quotes of the Day: An Arm and a Legacy

 

 

Clinton presidential library…with real books and new-fangled computers!

 

 

I am fully unable to decide upon just one quote for today, thanks to the former president with the personal problems. Bill Clinton of course still thinks he has a legacy to save from the bonfires of history...and his vanity. So he thought he would waltz onto Chris Wallace’s show and talk about building more trailer parks to the 21st Century, never anticipating that someone would point out that the ex-president had no clothes (as too well we know). Therefore, in order of appearance are my favorite three quotes for today:

 

 

Bill Clinton to Chris Wallace: "I got closer to killin' [bin Laden] than [Bush]".

 

– You got close and CHOSE not to do it. News Alert: That makes it by far much worse, Mr. Clinton; never mind the fact you did so on more than one occasion over eight years and after bin Laden had declared war on us and attacked us here and abroad. Of course, maybe if the Bush staff hadn’t needed to spend the first four months in the White House recovering from all of the deliberate acts of sabotage and vandalism your people left in their wake along with an uncooperative transition and that prolonged and obnoxious fight against the alleged Right Wing Conspiracy by your Vice President long after the election was decided, who knows what real conspiracies intelligence might have uncovered.

 

 

Another Clinton quote from Sunday’s interview: "I never criticized President Bush"

 

– Really? Is that another bold-faced lie or should we suppose this depends on the meaning of “never”? Bill Clinton: the only president in US history to have an asterisk automatically inserted after every sentence.

 

 

The last quote however comes to us from Sean Hannity, who was responding to a caller about our being shown the Clinton we’d all heard about but never had fully seen until Sunday’s meltdown: "Clinton exposed himself…"

 

– An unfortunate choice of words but true on all counts. While Bill had his front to Monica, his back was quite literally exposed to China, Russia, Iran, al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas… need I go on? This is why character matters. A president whose only regret is that he never inhaled should have never made it past bus driver. And he couldn't have done it without Ross Perot. Clinton’s outburst Sunday only showed to those who still doubted that you can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can never get the trailer park out of the boy. Indeed, the legacy never falls far from the doublewide.

People have had time not to disect Clinton's little rant. Seems he did himself much more harm than good. I still say that 'library' looks like something out of a trailer park.

Yes, it's only a shame they've outlawed Christmas, where intentions really do count! ;)
