Either that, or Bill is the smartest moron in America.
"Idol is like the political primaries, except that on the TV show, votes from Michigan and Florida actually matter."
I dunno I found that rather tactless during a charity message.
Are we a nation or morons or what? I think we are doomed.
The Hillbots in here are ethically challenged too. That's why they see nothing wrong with what Hillary and Bill and that asshole Penn are doing.
5 stars if you ask me to recommend the story

Meanwhile, I'll post what I did this am, in light of the Dow losing over 250 pts on news that the Great Warmonger GE's first quarter was not so great...
Credit market woes hitting US corporations...it's not just about housing anymore.

We are so fucked.
Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 lose your house
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day
The economy's in recession, banks gettin' bailout-cash everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from this election, U know I didn't even care
Cuz they say 2000 zero eight party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1929!
I was in foreclosure when I wrote this, so sue me if my payments lapse
But life is just a party and being drunk you know it doesn't last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night
Yeah, they say 2000 zero eight party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1929! (Yeah, yeah)
People, let me pour U somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door
I got no cash in my pocket and, baby, bill collectors startin' 2 roar (Yeah)
Everybody's got a debt, China's givin us money every day (Oh)
But before I get depressed, I'll have an Absolute Peach and Cran... okay?
Oh, they say 2000 zero eight party over, oops, out of time!
(We're runnin' out of time)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1929! (We gonna, we gonna, oh!)
Say it one more time
2000 zero eight party over, oops, out of time! (No, no)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1929! (We're gonna, we gonna)
"I got tickled the other day, a lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me, but there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated and immediately apologized for it, what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995. Did y'all see all that? Oh, they blew it up," the former president said at a campaign event in Boonville, Indiana, Thursday afternoon.
"You would have thought, you know, that she'd robbed a bank the way they carried on about this," he added. "And some of them when they're 60 they'll forget something when they're tired at 11 at night, too."
So now who do you want to answer the phone at 3:00 AM?
I think what amazes me, and people like me, the hubris....we keep thinking some of these guys are smart (they ARE, Either Clinton is probably ten times smarter than me...so what? Smart isn't everything) but they really have been breathing all that rarified air up there, with angels dancing constantly telling them how wonderful they are, and they fell for it. Clinton is probably dumbfounded that he just wasn't believed. He thinks "ah...I'm so good at this, I can just get up there and wing-it" and he can't. It's the WORST for them after all their bragging about 3 a.m. phonecalls, so EVEN if he wasn't so wrong on so many levels, it was a stupid thing to say as it disproves her abiity to focus when tired, like at 3 a.m., It's a completely stupid measuring stick maybe, but THEY chose it!!!
Same thing with the neocons. Hubris. Not just the swaggernig ignorance of Bush, or the batmans-penguin act of Cheney, but all of them on this human level...Wolfowitz, all of them...with their "turning a corner" and "greeted as liberators" and "it'll only cost..." and "pay for itself", and "would be surprised if it was months"...etc, etc.
ANY normal person would shut the hell up. They would realize they had just bared their ignorance time and time again, and would finally shut the hell up and stop expouding as if THEY have the answers and we all are a bunch of pig farmers (no offense meant to real pig farmers) that know nothing if we don't agree with them, and get proven right within days, or weeks.
Any decent person would think "gee...maybe I don't have all the answers, if the rest of the US thinks I'm wrong, maybe...is it at all possible I AM wrong??...." not them.
And not the Clintons. They want their Camelot damnit. And they've by-god earned it in their eyes. It is their RIGHT.
And Bill is so slick, he can just off-the-cuff it. From descriptions it sounds like he thinks just baring his irritation ought to be enough to get us to back off.
"I'm no psychologist, but I can't help but wonder if Bill Clinton doesn't have a self destructive streak. A couple weeks after his wife was eviscerated in the press for embellishing her version of a trip to Bosnia, Bill Clinton raised the issue again yesterday and again today."

Just arrogant. This is why NO MATTER WHO IS IN POWER we have to get back to rule of law, oversight, checks and balances, and transparency in government.
Dare to not be afraid.
Edit/update: Just checked. It's still there.
