Last night a local newscast teased an after-the-break story with the words "One of the most popular Democrats ever is in town."  --- Of course, referring to B.J.

They didn't say, "Former president" much less "Impeached former president..." or  "'Embattled' former president..."

The MSM might as well be run by the Clintons.

What a Goober! We could always rely on Dan to come up with such nonsense, and I suppose, with his attempted resurrection, we might have Dan to kick around some more. I hope not.

Oh my gawd...where's my motion sickness bag?

I want to throw up !

In this upside down, Alice in Wonderland world, the media admires Clinton for his abilities at lying...

and color things to some degree everyday, so the experts say. But I don't think these "common" everyday lies compare to Slick Willy's lies about Lewinsky. The lies Billy boy put out about her where a deliberate cover up. The "common" lies we tell everyday most often do not have the same consequence nor are told by a sitting President. The Lib-left have had infinite forgiveness for Bill, but don't tolerate even the smallest misstep from the Right, what crap is that. The Right will discipline or punish someone who deserves it, then forgive them, if they repent. But won’t give someone a “blank check” for infinite forgiveness.

What's missing in the "Notable Quotables" is in fact, the missing question - a real question the MSM never did ask Clinton, and never will:

Mr. President. Today, instead of the usual pandering that we in the media usually provide you, promoting your legacy and all that, I'd like to take travel down a different path today; one which truly reflects back on the wreckage you left behind, notably in Africa; Africa? Mr. President, is your current effort in Africa really all about your guilt?

Before you answer, Mr. President, please consider. After the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which 800,000 were slaughtered in 3 months time, we came to slowly learn that your administration was at best complacent in responding the that humanitarian crisis as it developed. Many charged more than that, but we gave you space. Following that, you made a promise to the world in saying, "Never Again." Immediately after Rwanda, the conflict moved next door to the DR Congo, were estimates are that from 4 ½ million to 6 million have died from civil war and genocide - the largest loss of life in a single conflict, since WW II. There are millions of refugees. Of course, during this period of time, Sierra Leone and numerous other horrible events were also taking place. "Blood Diamonds" comes to mind - but well save that for you and your friends and financial supporters in the mining business for another day.

Did, "Never Again," Mr. President, actually mean, Again and Again?

And.

We in the mainstream media have always stooped to the lowest level of ethics possible, and have been blaming President Ronald Reagan for what we perceive he did not do (or say - actually) back in the early days of HIV/Aids. We, in the media, have not only hated him for not doing more, in our opinion, but we have invested years of effort in doing our darn best to make all Americans hate him as well. But it turns out, Mr. President, that it was surely you, that as president truly understood the plight of Africa under the unfolding march of HIV/Aids to a pandemic, as we would soon learn - and you, alone, who would not lead.

Perhaps it is the perception of our dear friend, David Corn of "The Nation," who challenged you back in 2002, as you set out to make amends for your eschewal of being  presidential on the issue, while you were president. Corn wrote in a piece titled, Too little, too late -How many times is Bill Clinton going to apologize to Africa?,  that, "The prevailing view was, these people should die quietly." Then, Corn posed a question to you, wanting to know why. He summarized the situation as:

By the end of 2000, as Clinton was packing up, 25 million people in sub-Saharan Africa were estimated to be infected with AIDS, and six to seven thousand were dying daily from it. Clinton had raised the U.S. government's global AIDS budget to $340 million. But the United Nations was then calculating that a program designed to prevent and treat AIDS in Africa would cost $3 billion a year. For comparison's sake, Washington was sending $5 billion a year to Israel and Egypt.

David Corn's answer for you was, "A cynical guess at Clinton's motivations: AIDS in Africa, it doesn't poll well."

Mr. President. Considering all of this, and much more could be added, when asked about the horror of Africa, how can you play into this game of our praising the ground you walk upon and our molding your presidential legacy, without doubling over in anguish and falling onto the floor with the wrenching pain of the guilt you have been carrying.  It's really all about your swaggering ego, is it not?

Mr. President. Put that finger down, it's just a question. Have you not been questioned before?
