GORISMS, CLINTONISMS
by CaliforniaDreamin

Quote President George Bush. Fair enough.

But let's not forget notable quotables from other contemporary luminaries, such as Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore. Both are current news. How many Clintonisms does Jacob Weisberg post? None.
How many Gorisms does Jacob Weisberg post? Zero.

"You effing Jew *******." - Hillary Clinton as quoted in a book

"We ARE the president." - Hillary Clinton, when she was First "Lady" (sic)

"Well you know, that's just NOT GOING TO HAPPEN." - Hillary Clinton to Barbara Walters on live prime time television in response to Walters' question, "What if these things about your husband (getting oral sex from Monica Lewinsky) ARE TRUE?"

"I took the initiative in inventing the internet." - Al Gore

"We all know the zebra doesn't lose its spots." - Al Gore

"I don't know any of your songs, I'm just a really big fan." - Al Gore to rocker Courtney Love

"Who ARE these guys?" - Al Gore asking about the busts of Founding Fathers at Monticello

"Bill Clinton will go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents." - Al Gore

"I am standing on a boat that is anchored..." - Al Gore, in "Earth in the Balance," describing a boat miles from the Aral Sea, that was completely aground, and therefore could not possibly have been "anchored."

Anchoring secures and describes boats that are afloat, not aground.

What a sourpuss. Aside from the facts that some of your quotes are hear say, and some are true (Al Gore did take the iniciative to develop the internet), every one makes a mistake while speaking once in a while. The difference is that bush is not able to open his mouth withoutmaking one. You guys from the right have to come to terms with the fact that Bush is the dumbest president in American history.

How come you ran away from that thread you started about me? It is amusing how you keep doing that to others. Starting threads with the intent to slam someone, but failing every time, is really, really funny.

As for the bullshit in this thread, I'm sure others have already raised this issue, but Bushisms addresses comments by Bush that are sourced and above reproach as to his actual comments. And there are thousands of them.

Your citations to comments allegedly made by Senator Clinton, misquotes of comments made by Vice President Gore, and a couple of comments that were slightly misspoken are hardly somehow equivalent.

Everyone misspeaks on occasion. The thing about Bushisms is the fact that they happen so often. Clearly all that cocaine Bush did while dodging the draft in the TANG down in Juarez screwed up his brain. Either that, or the beatings by Barbara.

Kinda weak

That's all you have? All these people put together can't be 1/10th as dim as our current president. When it comes to incomprehensible, dim bulb pronouncements, Bush is a one man army of befuddlement. He's in a league all by himself.

Well spoken, sir. Well spoken indeed.

How "intellectual" Clinton was to:

LIE his way into the University of Arkansas law school faculty

LIE his way into the White House, promising Americans a "tax cut"

Rape Juanita Broaddrick

Make Gennifer Flowers, his slut of 11 years, get an abortion

Expose himself to Paula Jones, and ask her to "kiss it"

Grope Kathleen Willey

Push Monica Lewinsky, a woman barely older than his own daughter, under his desk

Pardon scores of convicted felons, and FALN terrorists who had murdered

TURN DOWN Sudan's offer to hand Osama bin Laden over to us

And on and on it goes with Clinton's "intellectualism"

Half-trillion dollars spent in Iraq, .2 million Iraqi refugees & 125,000 innocent Iraqis dead, close to 4000 Americans dead and tens of thousands injured or disabled, alientation from 90% of our allies, gas prices more than double than when Clinton left office, illegal AG firings, illegal domestic spying scandals, a looming recession, the Constitution smouldering...and you right wingnuts are still obsessing about Clinton's sex life??!! What? Don't Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly, Rudi Guiliani, and serial adulterer Rush Limbaugh rate high enough on your selective sin scale? Or Bush's cocaine dalliances? A truly comical and pathologically myopic position.

Clinton was a bad president on several fronts (and decent+ in a few areas). Bush-Cheney are FAR worse, a fact that even the majority of my Republican friends (of which I have several here in Dixie) freely admit to. Bashing Clinton doesn't magically salvage 7+ years of devastating political and moral failures by Republicans.
