You ask why, well just another form of Juanita Amnesia. What you say. Chandragate Dems Develop Juanita Amnesia n the wake of Congressman Gary Condit's disastrous interview with Connie Chung Thursday night, Democrats from coast to coast are circling the wagons - around Bill Clinton. While most of the party faithful acknowledge Condit has become a political liability and are willing to let him slowly twist in the wind, when comparisons between the randy representative and the ex-president emerge, they're quick to remind, "Clinton only lied about a consensual relationship with Monica Lewinsky - not a missing intern." Not exactly. Bill Clinton also lied about Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick, both of whom accused him of something considerably more serious than mere consensual sex. Willey says she was sexually assaulted in the Oval Office and later threatened by White House henchmen to keep her lip buttoned about the attack. Broaddrick said Clinton raped her in 1978. Interestingly, after Broaddrick went public with her own televisied interview, detailing the violent sex attack that eyewitnesses say left her bruised and bleeding, three-quarters of those who watched the broadcast believed her story. That's roughly the same number who now disbelieve Gary Condit's protestations of innocence. But when Broaddrick accused Clinton of rape at the height of his Senate impreachment trial, there were no Connie Chungs pounding away with question after question about her shocking allegation. Instead, Clinton was asked directly about the rape charge just once. And he refused to deny a single word of Broaddrick's account. "I believe my lawyer has already addressed that," he told Sam Donaldson at a March 1999 press conference. Witnesses against political pariah Condit, on the other hand, have yet to produce a shred of evidence that ties him to Chandra Levy's disappearance - the aspect of the case Democrats say that makes his predicament and Clinton's entirely different. At least two one-time Clinton supporters might take strong issue with that argument - Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee

Kyoto needed to be engaged and negotiated not abandoned. We have totally given up any leadership on the environment. In fact we are now the laggards along with toxic-filled 3rd world nations which have a bleak environmental future. The richest country in the world back with India or Pakistan. Shameful. Why did Bush abandon it despite overwhelming poblic support for cleaner air? because he's bought and paid for by the big pollutors who funded his campaigns and frankly he doesn't give a damn. Never believe his outdoor photo ops. They're just damage control. Mother earth will have its revenge on GW in the form of public opinion. Almost every moral weakness he has is connected with his Siamese Twin ties to polluting industry. This is not a liberal or conservative issue nor should it be a partisan one. It's an American and global issue. And it's the main reason Jeffords switched parties so Bush already lost his greatest advantage. Next he'll lose the congress and finally the swing-voters he needs to ever win again. That's unfortunately the good news. The bad news is we'll all pay for his pollution lobby favoritism.
