Hi dougjn; I forgot to leave this little bit of bimbo erruption control on the part of the White House out of my Gracen thuggery stuff of a couple of posts ago.
The New York Post once reported that Clinton pulled strings to get Gracen her first plum acting roles in return for avoiding another bimbo erruption:
ELIZABETH Ward Gracen had good reason back in 1992 to deny her night of passion with presidential candidate Bill Clinton - she quickly landed two plum acting roles.
Sources say the beauty queen's bogus denial six years ago - she recently recanted and admitted she had sex with Clinton in a Little Rock hotel room in 1983 - came about after a sit-down at a deli in the San Fernando Valley.
The three men who met that day were Gracen's manager Miles Levy, Clinton's TV producer friend Harry Thomason, and Mickey Kantor, Clinton's campaign manager and later his trade representative. 206.15.118.165
By the way, I doubt whether blacks are that seriously void of moral values. They just tended to vote heavily for Clinton, and that influences their current opinion of him. You would get the same polling results if you asked white people who voted heavily for Clinton, I suppose.
When I was a graduate student, I knew that the most important class you ever took from a professor was the first one. Professors are proud, egotistical people, and even more than the regular public, they do not like to admit they are wrong. So if you impress the professor in the first class you take from him, he will be forever impressed.
All people have the same strong tendency. If they can avoid admitting they are wrong by denying reality, they will do it without hesitation.
Clinton has the same defect, but without the true intelligence of most of the Mathematics and Physics professors I dealt with. Clinton's genius is only that of a perfect memory. He actually is possessed of very little thinking power. When he claims to not remember things, he is lying, I believe. He is famous as a policy wonk who knows every detail about everything, (though I don't think he can work out the logical consequences of what he knows.) He is also famous for remembering people, as are a lot of good politicos. When he claims to not remember stuff on tapes, it is largely a lie, or avoiding an answer.
For instance, if you asked him: "Did you let Lewinsky touch your thing on January 23, 1998?" He might answer "I don't remember such a thing." Meaning: "I am not completely sure which date it was on."
With his style of avoiding answers, it would be possible for anybody to avoid testifying about anything. And it really doesn't take a lot of brains to do it. That is why he managed to get hisself in such trouble.
