There will be millions who will go to their deathbeds thinking he was a great man, including The Big Me.

For the rest of us and historians, we'll make our own determinations when the Senate Judiciary Committee unseals the files in about 45 years.

hehehehehehehehehehehehe

Didn't Perot get something like 20% in the 1992 election?

Brilliant, beautiful post. It really summarizes everything about Bubba. This one is a keeper

I hate to sound irreverent here, but are we talking about the same President? The one who slept through his cabinet meetings? Old "Ronnie Ray-Gun"? Insane Anglo Warlord? (Scrambled, spells Ronald Wilson Reagan. Helluva co-inky-dink, eh?)

Later!

Great post. And for the record,

1980:

Reagan: 50.9% popular, 489 electoral
Carter: 41.1% popular, 49 electoral
Anderson: 6.6% popular, 0 electoral

1984:

Reagan: 58.8% popular, 525 electoral
Mondale: 40.5% popular, 13 electoral

Of course, Bubba was far more popular than Reagan, in media circles anyway.

You said it well Denny! James Ph states it is a keeper. So is Max Albert's article/letter to and in the Seattle Times, January 31, 2004 issue, "The Never-Ending Story"

In part, "...Character does matter, eventually. Bill Clinton, "Nixon of the liberals," is a type that Max Nordau (1849-1923) termed "the highly-gifted degenerate." Such a person "will employ his brilliant facilities quite as well in service of some grand object as in the satisfaction of the basest propensities."

For Democrats, it's the mother of all hangovers. For years they excused Slick Willie's "peccadilloes," keeping two sets of ethical books. Suffering charges of hypocrisy and cynicism, they pawned their credibility in defense of a man whose associates and appointees were convicted of felonies in unprecedented numbers, who worshipped the most amoral expediency, lied under oath, abused and maligned women ("bimbos," "blackmailing tramps," "trailer-park trash"), and generally disgusted even those who opposed his impeachment.

They called it inexcusable — then excused it.

Read the rest of this "keeper" article. It brings up Dimos, their anger, Algore, lost elections, etc.

You forgot to mention the Dead Boys on the tracks in Mena, AK.

Yep Joni! We're talking about the bumbling, dumb cowboy who slept through meetings but somehow managed to win the Cold War.

You forgot to mention the Clintons' stealing furniture from the White House when they left. A real class act, that pair.

What about all those strange deaths of those people who were part of his administration. I think something like 70 deaths during his 8 years in office. If anyone knows a site with info on this I would love to see it. If Slick Willie showed up at the funeral then I suppose his EX- Lesbian Butt Ugly Hiltery Clinton would show up too.

Joni forgot to mention that he confiscated the property of anyone making less than $30,000 and completely eliminated all federal welfare benefits. He once described poor people as subhuman.

Seriously, the way some of the further Left is portraying this in their hateful articles, you'd think that Reagan was an evangelical lunatic responsible for the deaths of 500,000 AIDS-infected people, and that somehow without income tax rates of 70% top/20% bottom (before Reagan cut 'em) it's just impossible to help the poor. Damn those evil rich!

Greg - See truthorfiction.com. Or just do a Google search on Clinton Death Freinds and you'll get all kinds of sites to evaluate.

Well said Denny. Clinton never received more then 49% of the vote and yes, Perot did capture 20% of the vote in 1992.

Denny - Thank you. Brilliant post. We should never forget that Bubba and enabler are truly evil. This helps. With kindest regards, Terry

whenever i think of clinton i always think of harry mud on the original star trek series. they were both a little larcenous and had identical wives.

Harcourt Fenton Mudd! What have you been up to? BWHAHAHAHAHA!

Well said, Clinton sucks.

WestCoaster - I had to register to read the article, but you were right. It is a keeper! "Nixon of the liberals" What an incredible line. And, as I have pointed out before, Nixon requested one FBI file that he never even got. Clinton had over 1000. Nixon tried to sic the IRS on his enemies with no success. Clinton did. Clinton's crimes were more numerous and worse than Nixon's. Clinton ruined more lives than Nixon. There were three Republican senators with principles who told Nixon it was time to go. Too bad for the Dimocrats that they didn't have three senators with principles to do that with Clinton. If they had, Gore would be president today. In retrospect it's a good thing they did drink the Klinton Kool Aid

I'd like to add to these numerous adjectives about Mr. Clinton, but I somehow can't think of any words bad enough to describe him further.

Nice post, especially about Slick Willie's vision being limited to the future of Slick Willie. Oh, and maybe a Big Mac, and a cigar (but not for smoking).

He's only making noise about not being invited to speak at the Gipper's funeral for one reason -attention. His memoirs book comes out this month, and just before he hits the circuit to push it, the last great president we had dies, and we're all reminded what it was like to have a great president. Now compare that to the crap Willie's book will remind of us - a sitting president giving (perjured) testimony before a federal grand jury, among other things.

"I feel your pain." No you don't - if you did you'd shut the hell up and go away, forever, and take your co-president "wife" with you.

Beaker, can you also give the election results for Mr. Bush Sr., fartface, and President Bush?

But, Denny, how do you really feel about Clinton?

Paul,
Bush Sr vs Dukakis: (fartface?)
Bush Sr: 48,882,808 popular (53.4%), 426 electoral
Dukakis: 41,807,430 popular (45.6%), 111 electoral
1 electoral went to Lloyd Bentson (D)

G.W. Bush vs Gore
G.W. Bush:50,456,002 popular(47.87%), 271 electoral
Gore: 50,999,897 popular (48.38%), 266 electoral

Not touching various dirty tricks by the media to skew that election. Think that's on another post way back when.

Great post, Denny ( as always ). Clinton should
not even be permitted in the State of California
until the Gipper's funeral is over. Bill Clinton
speaking at the Gipper's funeral would be the
ultimate payment of final disrespect.
Not to mention, if Billy shows up, Hitlery
would be there, too

Thanks xCavTrooper. Do you have Clinton's election results? In fact, where do I go to get this information anyway?

To put it simply, Clinton was and is a narcissist. He cares essentially only for himself and his personal/political advancement. He strives to be loved and thusly, he stands for nothing. A man whose goal is to be loved is constrained from taking strong positions on important matters, as there would be those who would visciously oppose him.

The fact that he has publically voiced his disappointment shows that this is about him, Bill Clinton. His disquietude does not even hint at recognizing or respecting Nancy or Ronald's choice on who would be a speaker. Screw them, what do they know?

Indeed Billy boy does remind me of Mudd. And is notHilary the perfect Mrs. Mudd?

You are right Denny, Billy does have his book coming out and what better place to get face time the the funeral of a great and beloved President, something Billy can only fantasize of.

Paul,
Use Google and you'll get a bunch of hits giving actual numbers and even state-by-state breakdowns.

Try "US election 1992" (without the quotes) for the 1992 results, for example.

Clinton-Bush Sr.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_1992)
Bush Sr:
39,102,343 popular, (37.38%), 168 electoral

Clinton:
44,908,254 popular, (42.93%), 370 electoral

interesting part of that election was strong 3rd party - Perot with 19,741,065 (18.87%) / 0 electoral

Clinton - Dole (1996)
(http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781448.html)
Clinton: 47,402,357 (49%), 379 electoral
Dole: 39,198,755 (41%), 159 electoral

again, Perot makes a (for an 3rd party) strong showing of 8,085,402 (8%) / 0 electoral.

For an analysis of the elctoral college / voting, go to USS Clueless and search his archives for "electoral college". Steven Den Beste does an excellent in-depth look at how it works, why it was put in place, and why it is still relevant to the politics of today.

Thanks xCavTrooper. I guess we can thank Perot for eight Clinton years. Perhaps Perot was giving him a blowjob on the side, too.

Andrew Jackson was impeached and thrown out of office. I forget exactly what he did, but it was bad. He really pissed off *everyone* back then.

Clinton was the *second* President ever to be impeached, yet he squirmed his way out of that with a bunch of spineless-republicans' help and was not thrown out of office.

Sorry Neo. You have your facts wrong. I said Clinton was the only elected president to be impeached. The other president to have been impeached was Andrew Johnson not Andrew Jackson. Andrew Johnson was Lincoln's vice-president and became president when Lincoln was assassinated. He was impeached because he was against the harsh policies of Reconstruction. He was not thrown out of office. He was acquited in the Senate by one vote: 35-19. The deciding vote was cast by Edmund Ross who lost his reelection bid to the Senate. Kennedy wrote about him in Profiles in Courage, though there are others who say that he was actually an opportunistic scoundrel.
All this info is available with a few Google searches. I just love the internet. I'm so glad Algore invented it.

Neo, I'm pretty sure that it was our 17th President, Andrew Johnson who was empeached in the 1860's, not Andrew Jackson.

Talk about a 'Kodak' moment during the services in Washington! There sat the trash from Arkansas. Both had their eyes closed. Either taking a nap, or bored silly and besides themselves to just sit there and not be the center of attention. But then again, a church is alien to these types.

God bless Nancy. She had the class and dignity to omit the leftist scum to share in this occasion.

It was amazing to see the outpouring of people after all these years toward President Reagan....there is hope for the right.

This is the post that my mama loved.

Thanks Rob. I'll try to keep entertaining her. Does she like cats? I haven't done a Cute Cats For Pumpman series in a while.

That was really stupid comments. You need to go back and see really what Clinton did for the country. Who really care what he did behind closed doors except Hillary.

Beverly - We know what Clinton did for the country. Osama bin Laden has been quoted as saying that when we left Somalia with our tail between our legs that's when he knew we could be defeated. And you must be a really incredibly dumb woman to worship someone who has mistreated so many women.

You only need to look at the numbers Clinton is so proud of: "He balanced the budget" is the liberal cry, yet he only cut programs such as Defense, and CIA while passing the largest tax increases ever!
Facts and Democrats, oil and water!!

Thanks, Denny. That's what I never understood about NOW and others, who absolutely worship Clinton. He raped and pillaged whenever he wanted, and they would excuse him. If someone else had done the exact same things, they would have dragged him out and crucified him.

It beggared belief.

these comments are a little one sided, how convenient?????

Of course they are dickhead - This is a conservative/libertarian site and most of my commenters, you are the exception, have brains and see through the bullshit of the Dimocrats.
