Hang In There With Me Reader, There Aren't Many More ....

               In 1992 and 1996, I was finally able to put a couple in the win column with William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton, another former governor from a southern state (Arkansas) who came out of nowhere to grab the Democratic nomination in much the same manner as the previous Democratic POTUS, Jimmy Carter. Clinton’s legacy will no doubt include one of the most famous blowjobs in American history which seems to cause incredible moralistic problems for a lot of people, Republicans mostly, as though a bunch of Republican down the line never got a blowjob on Capitol Hill? Really? Seriously?  

                Congress impeached Clinton over the blowjob but it didn’t fly very far; he was in fact acquitted, but answering to his wife Hillary was a whole different matter. History has very little to say as to how that all went down but speculation has it that he was forced to surrender his member, which allegedly bent to the left (of course). Hillary now keeps it safely stashed in her purse and only allows Bill to use it on special occasions.

                The eight years of the Clinton administration were basically peaceful times, other than some minor military participation in Kosovo late in the second term. It has recently been revealed that Al Qaeda, and specifically Osama bin Laden, once tried to kill Clinton when he was in the Philippines by blowing up a bridge while the presidential motorcade was passing by but the attempt was discovered and thwarted. As expected, the incident pissed Bill off to the point that the Arab was removed from the White House Christmas card list.

                The economy flourished under Clinton throughout the ‘90’s largely because Republicans had already stolen anything and everything of any value during the previous 12 years but were unable to continue under a Democratic regime. They would get another opportunity to fleece and pillage the nation later.

                Slick Willie, as he was known in some circles, liked to occasionally show up on late night TV shows and play his saxophone … badly.

                But overall, I kinda liked the guy and still do. He was certainly better than many others, including the guy who came next.

                Next up: Bush the Horrible.
