This is the real leader of the democratic party. Id like to take this opportunity to thank him for being almost souly responsible for the rise of the Republican party and conservative agenda in America today.

GOP seats gained in House since Clinton became president: 48
- GOP seats gained in Senate since Clinton became president: 8
- GOP governorships gained since Clinton became president: 11
- GOP state legislative seats gained since Clinton became president: 1,254
as of 1998
- State legislatures taken over by GOP since Clinton became president: 9
- Democrat officeholders who have become Republicans since Clinton became
president: 439 as of 1998
- Republican officeholders who have become Democrats since Clinton became president: 3


Of course this was right after his presidency. Im not sure where those figures stand as of today. But Clinton is indeed the greatest thing to happen to conservatives in my memory. Thank you once more Mr President.

Jesus, Gawain... you already have one Clinton thread!

Gawain:

Do you slow down your car immediately in front of known speed traps just to entice the person tailgating you to their doom?

You know what this kind of post will generate -- they can't resist.

Im thinking of starting a third now that he has come out and said we may well lose the war in Iraq.

[Red Harvest]

Too bad we can't get Clinton back in office. Those were the good old days compared to the disaster that is the Bush Aministration.

You will have your chance in 3 years. This is the man responsible along with Carter for the Radical Islamic world looking at us as prey. I asked once for a list of Clintons accomplisments. There werent any. Good old days indeed if you like scandals.

Im afraid Clinton is still alive and well.

Thanks Meat, best chuckle I've had in the backroom for a while.

...though now I have the Python Spam song running through my head again.

I like Clinton. He seems to be the only president with a sex life....... ;)

[Gawain of Orkeny]

This is what I get for trying to thank Clinton. I quess Ill have to go back to bashing him.

[solypsist]

gawain,


if there's a third clinton thread then that will be postwhoring, which is punishable. please use this thread to get it out of your system.

[Reverend Joe]

...JFK? FDR?

That's what amazes me about Righties: they have so little sex, they should be extinct. Thay must reproduce by converting innocent leftist children.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Nope, just the first to get really publicly printed up for it.

LBJ was rumored to enjoy dictation.

JFK reputedly knew how to enjoy his birthday.

FDR died after a visit from his ex-mistress.

WGH apparently had an informal brothel and bar running in the west wing.

Before Clinton, all we had publicly noted was the lust in Carter's heart.

I finally got around to reading the list of Clinton's records (the main reason I was posting here so far was to bait Gawain) and that was ridiculous. None of that says anything about how he performed in office. I am not a fan of his political actions, but this avoids them entirely. This is silly.



Edit: that never works.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

gawain,

If I wanted to start a third I would have. I must have missed the no postwhoring rules when I joined the Org. By the way whats the punishment? An invitation to the DNC in 06? How much you wanna bet its in New Orleans?

[Kaiser of Arabia]

But this issue is not. I repeat:

In Soviet (Clinton's) Amerika, dead horse beats you!

China Names Condom for Bill Clinton




A Chinese company is honoring ex-president Bill Clinton by naming a new line of condoms after him - along with a companion line of condoms that will be named after his ex-girlfriend, Monica Lewinsky.

Reports Britain's Sky News: The Guangzhou Haokian Bio-science company has registered their names as trademarks for the contraceptives.

The condoms will display Chinese spellings: Kelitun and Laiwensiji.

A 12-pack of Clintons is expected to cost $5.00, with Lewinskys selling at a discounted price of just over $3.00.

The manufacturer's general manager, Liu Wenhua, told Sky News that naming his condoms for Clinton was perfectly legal, explaining that "trademarks of two foreign surnames and can't be seen as a violation of rights."


Clinton is the only U.S. president to be honored with his own condom brand line.
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton was unavailable to comment on her husband's latest achievement.

Another first for a president.

[Ser Clegane]

I'm gonna enjoy posting a thread like this about Bush in a few years.

Great - then we will have threads on Clinton's legacy on Bush's legacy and bashing threads on whoever is President of the US then.

I am sooo looking forward to reading all that stuff

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Well clearly it has become acceptable to look past a president's total bungling of affairs and blame it all on his predecessor. I must endeavor to see that this standard is not broken, you see.

Well whethat time comes more power to you. Some of you act like Clinton has died or gone away. Again he never shuts his big fat mouth and continues to bash Bush while Bush treats him wth utmost respect. Hes in the news almost everyday. Of course many here chose to attack the messenger instead of the message. Its funny because I dont remember Bush one doing that to Clinton . In fact other than Clinton and Carter most ex presidents dont critize the president in office at the time.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

He's an ass. Alright. Nobody's disputing that. But that does absolutely nothing to change the fact that Bush is incompetent.

Maybe you and others havent noticed that this thread is not about Bush. Just about every other thread winds up doing that. I guess this one then should be no different.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

I forget, I edited a joke from the old USSR anthem thread in the frontroom

Its a variant on the schtick used by an 80's/ early 90's comedian who used the name Yakov Shmirnov. He was pretty good for some anti-soviet yucks back in the day.

Seamus

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Sorry Gawain, but the ground-work for this turning into a Bush Thread was started in your original post. You knew what you were starting.

Did I mention Bush or any other president for that mattar other than Clinton?

[Kralizec]

Ignoring how terrible Bush is, I agree that Clinton isn't exactly top stuff either. In fact, the last 3 decades there hasn't been a single person who I'd want to have leading my country, but that's just me.

[yesdachi]

The pendulum swings and Clinton just happened to be president when the US’s pendulum swung up. There were several factors and him being president didn’t hurt that but I really don’t think it would have mattered who the president was, The US was on an unstoppable upward swing. When things are going well we tend to relax and I think that is exactly what happened to the US. We were too relaxed and didn’t pay attention to the storm clouds in the Middle East or in our economy or to several other fronts forming on our horizon. Clinton has proved he could be a good leader but because of political, sexual, and legal scandals he couldn’t be effective as President and literally left our pants down after he was out of office. The longer Bush is president the more I think he is incompetent but many of the problems the US has faced since his presidency would have had to been faced regardless of who the president was. I wish I could bang my head on the wall and say that Gore or Kerry could have done better, I should have voted for them, but I think they are even more incompetent. The US is due for another up swing and it sure would be nice to have a good strong, competent leader going into it.

That’s my 2 cents.
