"CJ, would you like to explain away Whitewater? " What's to explain? "Marc Rich pardon?" He shouldn't have done it. But then again, Bush I shouldn't have pardoned a terrorist. "Lincoln bedroom? " I don't think Dubya should be hosting large donors there. "Sellout to China?" Bush shouldn't be doing that, either. "Travelgate?" Firing of questionable employees is a problem? "Filegate?" Never heard enough to really form an opinion. It does seem like there was a lot of questionable activity. However, the special prosecutor found no evidence of wrong doing. "Sandy Berger" What about him? You are talking about things that were, for the most part, investigated and nothing substantial was found. If the Democrats are still investigating 6 years from now, spend over $100 million and not found anything, then you have a point. Since they've just starting, you are the one spinning partisan BS.

Leftie playbook.... Never answer a direct question. Evade and tire your opponent until they decide it isn't worth the time. Attack source if the data disagrees with your position. I'd explain it to you but you wouldn't understand. Write six paragraphs of unrelated stuff as a response. Change the subject after realizing your bluff has been called. Never allow your true agenda be publicly exposed. You've never experienced "X", so you're unqualified to discuss "X". Post liberal media outlet editorials as "News". Repost your message using CAPS and obscenities. Have your fellow tag team lefties pile on defending you even though they disagree with you. Use your quantity of posts to hide the lack of quality in your posts. If losing, make it clear what you said is not what you meant. Accuse them of being racist. Accuse your opponent of what you are doing. Claim you use to be a Republican or Conservative. Use a rare exception to paint with a wide brush, a group of people you hate. Being jealous of someone's funny comeback, you copycat the response expecting the same result. Let the people vote on an issue unless that left wing issue can only be enacted by a liberal court "because it's too important to trust to ignorant voters." A Republican guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice should not get a pardon, but a Democrat guilty of the same crimes can give pardons to anyone he wants. President Clinton can fire 93 US attorneys without a peep, but President Bush fires eight, Mrs Bill Clinton has a cow! France and Germany's double digit unemployment is better than our 5% unemployment. A fake FAX from Kinkos is not fake. Using the newest mpg ratings, even though the Prius was cut 16% and the average car was cut 12%, the Prius is a much better deal now than before! Rich people aren't paying enough taxes even though they are paying a higher rate. Microsoft is gouging customers with 30% profit margins, yet Exxon is bad because of their 10% profit margins. Social Security administration is our retirement salvation even though they attack every other govt office as corrupt and dysfunctional. Free medical care is the greatest thing since sliced bread even though patients from socialist countries are dying to get here. Record snow and cold temperatures are proof global warming is man made. Israel is the reason Muslims are killing Muslims. Racism will be eliminated by using skin color as the foundation of college entrance requirements. People in need are best helped by throwing money to them in front of cameras instead of addressing the problems which create needy people instead of solving the problem. Leaders of rogue nations can be trusted with nuclear weapons, but American citizens can't even be trusted with a pistol. Religion should be kept out of politics, unless it can be used to help a Democrat. Lying under oath is not a crime because any guy would lie about having an affair. No evidence of a coverup is undisputable proof that there was a coverup.

Whitewater was a big nothing. The Clintons were cleared and it was a trumped-up much ado about very little to begin with. Marc Rich was Scooter Libby's client. He and his people were somehow able to lobby Clinton to get the pardon. Some say MOSSAD intervened. Some say Rich's ex-wife wined and dined Clinton. But nobody really knows. The Lincoln bedroom? Another phony issue. Nobody raises more money for White House access than Bush-Cheney do. Just look at Jack Abramoff. Who cares what bedroom they were sleeping in? Clinton never sold anything to CHina. That was disinformation and a smear, surrounding the Loral case. Its CEO may have been guilty. Clinton was just someone Loral gave money to. There is no direct connection between the two. Travelgate and Filegate are more minor trivial non-issues, smaller even than Bush's domestic policy advisor being busted for shoplifting. Sandy Berger pilfered some papers from a library. He was punished. That pilfering may have been unlawful but it's unclear if he was just too lazy to transcribe, or whether he was trying to erase something from his record. Either way it was a mistake. berger has nothing to be ashamed of. He helped stop the Al Qaida LAX bombing in 1999. He was a good security advisor, unlike Rice who ignored the Al Qaida warnings. Clinton's administration wasn't perfect but they were real boy scouts compared to this Bushie gang of liars and thieves.
