Clinton was our greatest president since JFK, and he never mishandled a woman in his life. Sorry to burst your balloon full of BS but that's the truth. The only people who claim these "rape and harrassment" charges are the ones whose testimonies Anne Coulter wrote up, all paid for by Newsmax Mellon Scaife's dirty money. Juantita Broiaderrick swsore under oath Bill neevr touched her in his life. If you drag $100,000 through trailer parks in Arkansas offering $$$ to anyone who will claim Clinton raped or harrassed them, you will get lots of takers. But they'd all be lying. Just like you do on a daily basis. The only credible ex-lover of Clinton's is Gennifer Flowers, who went on and on about how gentle and consider Clinton was in bed. Clinton's known as a real teddy bear with women, and they come after him, not vice versa. The notion that he's a "predator" is absurd.

Affidavit of Juanita Broaddrick denying non-consensual sex with President Clinton Released on Monday, March 30, 1998 Following is the full text of a Jan. 2 affidavit from the woman named in documents filed by the Jones legal team on March 28, 1998. Those documents reported an unsubstantiated hearsay claim that the woman, here called "Jane Doe #5," was raped by Bill Clinton 20 years ago. Paula Jones' lead lawyer Donovan Campbell Jr. Jail Time for Donovan Campbell? Will he be held in contempt for revealing the identity of Juanita Broaddrick a/k/a Jane Doe #5? 1. My name is Jane Doe #5. I am 55 years old and have been married since 1981. I have one child, age 28. I currently reside in Arkansas. 2. In November of 1997, two private investigators retained by Paula Corbin Jones approached me at my residence. I declined to speak with them, but provided the name of my family attorney. I subsequently was served with a subpoena seeking the production of documents and purporting to require my testimony at a deposition in the civil action between Paula Corbin Jones and President William Jefferson Clinton (Civil Action No. LR-C-94-290). I have never met Ms. Jones, nor do I have any information regarding the allegations that she has advanced against President Clinton. In this regard, I have no knowledge or information regarding the events she has alleged occurred on May 8, 1991 at the Excelsior Hotel or, for that matter, any knowledge or information regarding any interaction between herself and Mr. Clinton. 3. I met President Clinton more than twenty years ago through family friends. Our introduction was not arranged or facilitated, in any way, by the Arkansas State Police. I have never been an Arkansas state employee or a federal employee. I have never discussed with Mr. Clinton the possibility of state or federal employment nor has he offered me any such position. I have had no further relations with him for the past (15) years. 4. During the 1992 Presidential campaign there were unfounded rumors and stories circulated that Mr. Clinton had made unwelcome sexual advances toward me in the late seventies. Newspaper and tabloid reporters hounded me and my family, seeking corroboration of these tales. I repeatedly denied the allegations and requested that my family's privacy be respected. These allegations are untrue and I had hoped that they would no longer haunt me, or cause further disruption to my family. 5. I do not possess any information that could possibly be relevant to the allegations advanced by Paula Corbin Jones or which could lead to admissible evidence in her case. Specifically, I do not have any information to offer regarding a nonconsensual or unwelcome sexual advance by Mr. Clinton, any discussion offer or provision of state or federal employment or advancement in exchange for sexual conduct, or any use of state troopers to procure women for sex. Requiring my testimony at a deposition in this matter would cause unwarranted attorney's fees and costs, disruption to my life and constitute an invasion of my right to privacy. For these reasons, I have asked my attorney to advise Ms. Jones's counsel that there is no truth to the rumors they are pursuing and to provide her counsel with this sworn affidavit. Further affiant sayeth not. Jane Doe #5

And who paid for Paul's Jones's "detectives" and huge legal team including Anne Coulter? Those guys are expensive and they were paid by someone to scour the entire state of Arkansas looking for dirt, hersay, slander anything on Clinton at the same time the rightwing congress was pretending to investigate an innocent ten year old land deal which the Clintons lost $40,000 on. Answer: The rightwing money men put up millions to try and find any dirt they could on Clinton. They failed to find anything other than what we already knew, he occasionally had sex with women besides his wife. But I just read Johnny Cash's autobiography and he states that when he met the Clintons the first thing he felt was how in love they were, holding hands and acting like a teenaged couple in love. Even I was surprised to read that, but the rightwing obviously got this one wrong. Intentionally of course.

Bill CLinton had women lined up offering sex to him. He didn't need to force himself on anyone.........besides he doesn't fit the MO. George Bush is raping this entire country everyday.........every man woman and child is getting raped by Bush on a daily basis and all you care about is Clinton?

Rush Limbaugh - Sex Tourist I know it was only yesterday that Rush Limbaugh was held for having Viagra without a prescription, while making his way through customs at Palm Beach airport. And I know that the last thing anybody wants to think about first thing in the morning is Rush Limbaugh with an erection. But, as Todd and Ian point out, Rush has been rather hard on medical marijuana users and people who bring drugs into this country. So I’m disinclined to avoid speculation where Rush in concerned. Besides John points out over at Americablog, it feels like there’s something missing from the story. I’ve been waiting for someone to point it out; ask the obvious question. What was Rush doing in the Dominican Republic? Why was he returning from a country known for its thriving sex trade, with a bottle of Viagra that didn’t have his name on it? According to his Wikipedia profile, Rush is a single man at the moment. He’s between girlfriends and divorces at the moment, so as far as I’m concerned he can do what he wants. (And, as the American Street points out, he’s very generous with his affections.) While I’m inclined to wonder how a guy like Rush gets laid at all, my guess is that money, power and celebrity help a lot where personality and other characteristics (basic humanity, compassion, etc.) fall short. And there’s still the question of what Rush’s right wing supporters, and the great moralizers among them, have to say about an unmarried man even having a prescription for Viagra. But all that’s beside the point. Even if, as PZ Myers points out, Viagra is "not a threat," and not illegal in and of itself, there’s still the question: what was Rush doing with it, whether he went there to get it or took it there with him, in a country described back in 2001 as a place "where the pimps roam free"? Evidence of the sex trade is everywhere as men in shorts and sandals duck into rent-by-the-hour "love motels" with Dominican women in bright dresses. "There is always a demand for sex," said one Dominican prostitute as she lounged at one of the town’s waterfront bars. "Men will always pay for it, especially in here … where they can get anything they want, any age, at a discount." Indeed, the Dominican Republic is one of the biggest sex tourism destinations in the world, thanks in part to Internet sites that extol the country as a "single man’s paradise." What was Rush doing with a Viagra prescription in a country that one christian aid organization described as having the highest number of people working in the world working in the sex trade, including children? What need did Rush have to get an erection in a country which the U.S. government cites as having rampant prostitution— including child prostitution — and as one of the worst offenders in the trafficking of women and children for forced labor as sex-workers? Was he helping a religious organization rescue people from human traffickers? Possibly, but that still doesn’t explain the Viagra. Not unless he was posing as a pimp. These are not nice questions, which is why most people won’t ask them. But Rush is not a nice guy. And when a pundit whose party pokes its noses into people’s private affairs as a matter of policy is caught pocketing pills to pump up his penis, on his way back from a country plenteous with prostitutes… Well pardon me if I’m compelled to prod and ponder why this public personality required a prescription for his penis in that place, and where he put it while he was there.

Bush states the president can take any intel he wants on anyone, no limits, plus he can surveil any American, look at our bank records, phone, email and medical records, all without a warrant. And you're complaining about the CLinton's having some FBI files in the WH? Since when is there anything wrong with that anyway? If you care about Big Brother presdients, just look at the monster that's replaced CLinton. Bush-Cheney are 100 times worse and they don't give a damn about you, dumbo.
