They Just Couldn't Leave The Man Alone...

[seer]

This week talk radio was just a-buzz with the past sins of President Clinton. My goodness, couldn't they let the man just have one day in the sun? Or rain in this case. They were unkind, unforgiving, ungracious, petty, and just plain mean. I found their tirades quite unseemly...

I suppose they saw it as an opportunity to revisit their own glorious past. Ah! - the fine sense of civic achievement when their champion Ken Star published an 800-page presidential expose about stained dresses and alternative uses for cigars! Those were the heady days of high ideology and noble purpose - when one felt proud and just grand to be a Republican.

They have come nowhere close to accomplishing anything quite as meaningful as they did in those good old days. So momentous were the effects of their strategies that it will take an entire generation before anything like bipartisanship emerges once again in American politics.

Can you blame them for wanting to feel it again for old times' sake?

Um, I think Seer might be referring to the liberal mainstream medea. These are the ones Clinton scolded. He called out Peter Jennings and ABC specifically. I heard the interview. Clinton ripped him a new one.

No, I was talking about my favorite right wing talk show hosts. It was just petty...

Pearls for you Jim. Your ability to be critical of your favorite denotes that you stayed focus on what is a principle of decency.

Well thank you sis. Seeing that we haven't been agreeing much of late. ; ) I mean really - just leave the man alone. We all know what happened. One of the biggest rants was about the Library being bias. That Clinton was trying to justify his wrongs. NO KIDDING! We all try and justify our wrongs. Even that deity known as Rush....

Seer -

Please pardon my sarcastic tone above - it was out of place in a thread where you were being so darned . . . reasonable!

Pearls, dude.

Thanks, and I thought the impeachment was also petty and foolish. Sometimes it's hard being a right winger...

And really - you should always encourage me when I'am being reasonable - those moments are few and far inbetween...

Ah I see. Not sure which one you were listening to. Didn't hear any bashing personally (don’t doubt it of course). President Bush gave a pretty magnanimous speech I thought. Perhaps everyone else should have followed suite at least for a day.
