Misdemeanors. Most were only agreed to because the people were financially ruined. Unlike Dems, they had no slush funds for payoffs like the Clintons did for Hubbell - $800,000 alone to buy his silence - slush funds set up by foreigers with Chinese money. IT all seems so whimsical after the Clinton regime, which produced more lies and illegal acts in a typical week than any other administration has in their entire histories. Taking out the lies and illegal acts, there was no Clinton regime. And that's why Clinton will end up on the ash heap of history. It's also why Clinton is already a bad joke in his eternal and fruitless quest for some positive legacy - other than electing a GOP Congress. So much more will come out about Clinton's illegal acts that even the Dems will beg for him to leave the country.

AlGore blames loss on Clinton's scandals and historic low approval ratings; Clinton blames AlGore and Lieberman for losing the debates: ...For more than an hour, in what sources close to both men described as uncommonly blunt language, Gore forcefully told Clinton that his sex scandal and low personal approval ratings were a major impediment to his presidential campaign.... ...And they have not come close to finding common ground on why Gore is not president today. In fact, on this large issue and several minor ones, there are open wounds between the camps of Democratic aides allied with one man or the other -- resentments that have been rubbed anew since Jan. 20. Many Clinton advisers were infuriated by a post-election analysis Gore consultant Carter Eskew published Jan. 30 in The Washington Post in which he said the "deep dissatisfaction and anger" felt by swing voters over Clinton's scandals was "the elephant in the living room" preventing Gore from making his case. A senior White House official close to Clinton scoffed: "I don't think the fact that they lost four out of four debates had anything to do with Bill Clinton." By this reckoning, neither Gore nor his running mate, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.), made a compelling case in showdowns against President Bush and Vice President Cheney.... washingtonpost.com I never thought I'd be saying this, but they're both right. For the US, it was a "near-miss". Other Gores, especially Tipper, despised Clinton even more than AlGore does: ...By this account, family members, especially Tipper Gore, disliked Clinton even more strongly. "Gore had this sort of psychological analysis in which anything Clinton did was inadequate," said one Democratic operative who has worked with both men. The two camps around both men have also become estranged. Some senior Clinton advisers said they were once close to many top Gore advisers, including Eskew, but friendships among a generation of Democratic operatives ruptured during 2000. More recently, sources said, former Clinton chief of staff John D. Podesta is angry that Gore aides have allowed Clinton to take blame for pranks in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, even though most of the mischief took place in the vice president's offices.... Paraphrasing Hillary - furniture stealer that she is - the Clinton regime was a dysfunctional village and the village idiots were in charge.
