Clinton and the Damage Done

 

12/21/98

Whether, at the end of the day, Clinton is removed from office or just censured, makes no real difference. The damage he has already done to the American dialogue is profound, and irrevocable. Read on for the details.

Immediately after Saturday's impeachment vote, only the second in the history of the Republic, two busses pulled up in front of the nation's capitol and carted a flock of Democrats over to the White House where, along with Bill and Hill, they desecrated the Rose Garden with their speeches, applause, and praise for Clinton. Have these people no shame? And don't even try to argue with me, I watched the whole thing. It was a celebration, plain and simple. Who the h-- are these people that they would celebrate an event like the impeachment of the President of the US?

Flipping the dial on Friday, I caught the "Rev." Jesse Jackson addressing a Rainbow Coalition/PUSH anti-impeachment rally in Washington the other day. Here is what he said, and I'm paraphrasing as I didn't have a tape recorder running. He said that if the Republicans went ahead with this impeachment madness, the brothers and sisters must come down from the mountain and take to the streets to "hep" brother Clinton, (cheers from the audience) the brothers and sisters must come down from the mountain and take to the streets to "hep" brother Clinton (louder cheers) and on and on. If that's not inciting a riot, I don't know what is. It came pretty close to a riot right then and there, as a matter of fact!

A few years ago, a guy got arrested and put in jail for making a nasty remark to Clinton as he passed by in a parade. Last Friday night, on the nationally broadcast Conan O'Brien show, that liberal nutcase (and lousy actor) Alec Baldwin had this to say about the impeachment process: "In any other country in the world, the people would get together, march on Washington and stone Henry Hyde to death, (wild cheers from the audience) stone Henry Hyde to death, (louder cheering) shut up, shut up, I'm not done yet. Then they would go to their houses and kill their wives and all their children."

Why hasn't Baldwin been arrested, charged with a hate crime, charged with inciting murder, and put in prison for a good long stretch. I'm sure the other inmates would find him a tasty morsel, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Meanwhile, boycott Baldwin.

The leading guru of the now discredited feminist movement, Betty Friedan, recently told Rep. Bob Livingston that the impeachment process was being perpetrated by a bunch of "dirty, old, Republican, white males." If you want to see a really dirty, old, white female, take a hard look at Friedan-but make sure you do it on an empty stomach.

In the light of Clinton's "Wag The Dog" bombing of Iraq, the Russian Parliament, believing him to be dangerous to world stability, just passed a resolution asking for Monica Lewinsky's help in controlling him for the remainder of the impeachment proceedings. Meanwhile, the British, with their usual flair for the use of words, have dubbed the attacks on Iraq as "Monica's War," and nicknamed their own Prime Minister "Tony Poodle." I guess that not as bad as "Phony Tony," the cognomen some wags over in England are using. Doesn't all this stuff make you proud to be an American?

Madame Tussaud's famous wax museum has a travelling exhibit that features mostly current celebrities instead of long dead ones. One of it's most popular features is a wax statue of Bill Clinton. They have been having trouble with that one however because visitors keep unzipping his fly so they can take photos of their wives, girlfriends, or significant others kneeling down in front of the figure peering up at the undone zipper with lust in their eyes! To get around the problem, they finally sewed Billy's fly shut. You'd think Dame Hillary would do the same.

Sinead O'Connor, the female singer who once had an act that featured tearing up photos of Pope John Paul while whispering pornographic phrases into a mic, has said that whenever she thinks of what Monica and Bill did in the ovoid office, her own mouth begins to water uncontrollably. Just imagine that one for a moment!

And that's the kind of degrading stuff that is Bill Clinton's real legacy.
