Clinton took down Milosovic without a single US casualty. Milosovic was a huge danger and he had WMD. Removing him freed up the new Balkan states which are now doing very well, at least most of them. Croatia is free and is one of the hottest spots in Europe.

Want to talk Monica what about Tammy Phillips? Jan. 3, 2000 -- ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA (AmpolNS) -- According to the National Enquirer, the New York Post, and Tony Snow on FOX TV, Tammy Phillips, a 35-year old stripper, claims she just ended an 18-month affair with one George W. Bush of Houston, Texas (by way of New Haven, Connecticut and Kennebunkport, Maine). She says the affair lasted from late 1996 until June of last year. She told the National Enquirer that she met Dubya at a hotel in Texas and when he saw her micro-mini skirt, he "combusted." I have seen the National Enquirer issue in question. It's the January 4th, 2000 issue, and you can view the front page (though not the article itself) online at nationalenquirer.com. But what's really interesting is how Tammy Phillips' story was handled. It was brought up only to revealed as a "smear" in bold letters on the front page of the Enquirer and, seemingly simultaneously, in the New York Post and FOX TV. Neither the National Enquirer nor the Murdoch-owned bottom-feeders FOX and NY Post like to deal in the front-page discrediting of smears, especially if the smears are directed against people they don't like, such as virtually all Democrats. The one time the National Enquirer ever, to my memory, worked to discredit an anti-Clinton smear, was when they published the results of Palm Beach PI Jack Harwood's voice-stress analysis of Juanita Hickey-Broaddrick's NBC Dateline appearance, wherein the VSA showed she was lying when she accused Bill Clinton of attacking her. And that particular story was buried on the very last page of the issue, while the latest anti-Chelsea slander had pride of place on the cover. It was not allowed to reverberate unchallenged, the way anti-Clinton or anti-Gore smears are, for weeks, months and years. It was not picked up by Matt Drudge or any of the other online scandal-mongers. As of this writing, in fact, the story has been mentioned in precisely four (4) places besides Bartcop.com: The National Enquirer, the New York Post, FOX, and Slate magazine. And Slate only mentioned it because Slate, like me, was curious as to why such an explosively juicy story got such minimal media play, and was promoted and squashed at the same time. What does this sound like to you? To me, it sounds like somebody, or a whole bunch of somebodies, in Gee Dubya's camp, working with perhaps their buds over at The New York Post, planted this Tale of the Stripper as a way to put to bed (pardon the pun) and distract from all those rumors about George W. Bush's wild past, which may not be as "past" as he would like us to believe. And I can think of one thing from which Shrubya would want to distract our attention: the imminent re-release of Fortunate Son, J.H. Hatfield's devastating biography of the current GOP front-runner in the race for the White House. Yessiree: The book they burned is back, courtesy of Soft Skull Press. And it has added material, including the index that Hatfield wanted but didn't get for the St. Martin's Press edition...and, according to Soft Skull Press, corroboration of the most explosive charge in the book: that George W. Bush was arrested in 1972 on a cocaine charge. Hang onto your hats, everybody. The next month is going to be very interesting.
