I'm glad BJ let us know he's not a racist.
Well, former President Bill Clinton may sound as if he didn’t want to make any new headlines, but it was inevitable that he would.Interviewed by ABC News in Monrovia, Liberia while on his world AIDS tour with his foundation, Mr. Clinton talked a bit about the role he played in the failed presidential bid of his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. And he still seemed to be smoldering about his portrayal by the media and others.
Poor poor BJ. He's smoldering.
Asked whether he had any regrets about his often controversial stump style that often knocked the senator’s campaign off-message, he basically first said he didn’t want to rehash anything because everyone needed to concentrate on getting a Democrat elected. He then defended himself against widely held perceptions — especially among some prominent African-Americans — that he had unfairly attacked his wife’s opponent, Senator Barack Obama.
The same tactics were fine as long as they were used against a Republican but they were not to be used against the Anointed One.
Pressed about whether he had any personal regrets, he said: “Yes, but not the ones you think. And it would be counterproductive for me to talk about.”
He regretted that playing the race card didn't work. After all, who better to play the race card than our first black president?
“But I am not a racist,” he continued. “I’ve never made a racist comment and I never attacked him personally.”
And "I never had sexual relations with that woman...". Ah you all know how it goes. After all, BJ wouldn't lie to us would he?
Posted by denny at August 5, 2008 01:43 PMYeah, you just GOTTA know around his Arkansaw buddies, when he let his hair down, ol' Schlickmeister just HAD to say something on the order of "I can't believe people are stupid enuff to vote for that N****r over Hillary...". Dollar to a donut he did.

Posted by: Daryl on August 5, 2008 05:27 PMNah, Daryl. I bet he'd nail it if it were wearing blue.
Posted by: PeggyU on August 5, 2008 07:11 PMPeggyU......I'd bet he'd nail one if the sky is blue, or he hears Patsy Cline sing "Blue"....or if Horton hears a WHO.
Posted by: patrick on August 6, 2008 02:16 AMBill Clinton a liar? Say it isn't sooooo? I'm still wondering if he impregnated a very young black lady...
I often wonder what the Clintons are thinking about all of this, why were they thrown over for The One etc. I wonder if she/them will try and run again in four years? It's oddly interesting what kind of a fine line that Dummycraps have to walk in order to pander to the KOS crowd and try to keep the moderates. It's the stuff of Soap Operas that could only be shown on cable tv because of the immorality of it all. Sheesh. Poor Nancy Pelosi for example, how does she shave in the morning? She must have a chin strap hanging from her bathroom mirror.
Don't be bad-mouthin Princess Nancy, now...She's out to Save The World 'n' all, she is ! (grin)-Unca Sandy
Posted by: Sandy G on August 6, 2008 07:12 AMI heard a pundit say yesterday that calling Obama arrogant was racist because it meant the same thing as uppity.
Posted by: Woody on August 6, 2008 10:36 AMBJ would nail a snake if someone would hold its mouth open. Case in point: Paula Jones. I wouldn't do her with CD's dick. For eight years BJ was the most powerful man in the world and he was getting his knob polished by a chubby intern. He couldn't do better that that?
Posted by: Denny on August 6, 2008 11:03 AMI don't want to get you started on an anti-French rant. But if you look throughout History, you will see that the French Kings and Presidents always had high-class, intelligent, influental mistresses like Madame de Pompadour with Louis XV. Or they divorced to marry someone beautiful like Carla Bruni.
They also had their liaisons in luxurious love-nests. The jewels that they gave might have ruined the country but it enhanced their status. France would never have forgiven a cheap "torchon" (like Monica) in the King's Royal Chamber.
À la vôtre!
Posted by: Claudia on August 6, 2008 12:28 PMYeah, at least JFK had the taste to do Marilyn Monroe...She was Po' White Trash like Monica was, but at least she was pretty.
Posted by: Sandy G on August 6, 2008 03:33 PMA racist believes that some races are by nature superior. A bigot is one who is intolerant of others. A politician on the other hand, is a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization. Being a politician might cause a person not to inhale; not to have sex. And, of course, to never make a racist comment. But then again, who among us would? Bill Clinton is a politician: http://theseedsof9-11.com
Posted by: Peggy McGilligan on August 6, 2008 05:23 PMOh, noes!!! Another Peggy! I guess we all gots our doubles! ;)
That means ... Daryl prolly has another brother Daryl.
Holy crap! Next thing you know there will be a bunch of Pauls.
Posted by: Denny on August 7, 2008 12:29 AMWhat do you know? There is a Darrell. At least he spells it a little differently than the Daryl. The two Teresas you can tell apart by their writing. I believe there may be supernumerary Dans here as well. Obviously we have a plethora of Pauls.
If another Claudia or Denny shows up, though, I will start to suspect there is a tear in the fabric of the universe somewhere.
