Amazingly, the best decade for America in our lifetimes (and probably several decades more) was probably under the tutelage of Slick Willie. No war, relatively low unemployment, a balanced budget, and the stock market was booming. So what did the loyal opposition do? Go the to the brink over a friggin' BJ (while themselves getting their own BJ's from the Callista's of the world). Go figure.

Slick got in at the right time, and he got out at the right time. Rather be lucky as good any day.

BTW, Slick was never charged for a receiving a blow job, and he didn't lose his law license because of that charge.

Point taken. OTOH, he wouldn't have been put in a position to commit perjury were he not being investigated for said BJ by folks (Livingston, Gingrich) who were doing the same.

Slick Willie was a dumbass sleaze bag for what he did (though it pales in comparison to Iran-Contra). That doesn't negate the fact that his eight years in office were probably the best run we've had as a country since WWII. I suppose it's all relative. After Dubya and Obama, Bubba is looking better all the time.

Well, Slick liked his fuzz. In a way, he's like the SS agent who wouldn't pony up 50 bucks for his whore.

Had he bumped Paula Jones up one click on the Arkansas merit system this would have never happened.

Iran-Contra stunk, but as Henry Kissinger said, "Let's not confuse covert operations with missionary work."

Personally, I figure that they're all about the same. Just because they're in the big chair doesn't mean that they are in charge of anything.

They just take the heat when it all goes to shit.

I gotta bug out. I've been sick for a week and my wife is calling me for supper. I'll try to return when I'm in a more positive mood.

Take care of your self first, Charlie. Go fishin' that always helps, drown a couple worms. Here's a funny for you, I've got a brother in Tennessee who bought a bunch of bait and released it back into the wild, some buddist thing or such. I'll bet them snappin' turds had a feast. Of course in California they classify such behaviour as chumming and Fish and Game would've fined him.. Come back for some gopher huntin' when you're ready.

It easier than quoting a government owned floor buffer. At least the radio speaks, or....um ....er,,,,Repeats what it hears?
