John at Powerline blogs about Billy Jeff Clintoon's attacks on Bush on Sunday's talk shows (those of Clinton-lovers Russert and George Stuffingenvelopes) thusly:
Power Line: Uncharted Territory, Once Again
For some reason, John buys the MSM's line that it's the "first time" that Clintoon has done this, breaking with tradition by a former President criticizing the current one--Nope.
I wish it were, but the Impeached One has been doing since he left office.
This is the only the latest...but they do seem to get more outrageous, i.e. Clinton has to lie more each time to make himself and his Administration look good.
Clinton probably would have done this anyway (given that his little UniGlobe Love/Cash Fest was going down in NYC this weekend, also), but Bush's Thursday night speech was so potent and powerful (and to the groans of some, might I add that the federal response to Katrina was even pretty amazing, not "late" or second-rate?) that Bill had to get out there to salvage what little stature he has, which dwindles by the day.
I don't know what Clinton's problem is except that he's stuck with having Monica as his legacy and his WINO wife insists on running for the Oval Office.
God help us.
I wonder if we should worry about the shadow government Slick Willie keeps trying to set up...?
He supposedly got over a billion in pledges from the One World Order crowd, but we'll see if they pay up to fund his little projects.
Maybe he's trying to outdo the U.N. and their Iraqi Oil-for-Food scam.
No matter what, he and Hillary love cash, lotsa cash.
(Do they wanna buy Sierra Leone and run that or what?)
Hillary's adding on a wing to her Washington house, but so far no word on whether she'll open it up to Katrina evacuees.
The day is fast approaching when WJC gives a summit and no-one will show up.
All I had to hear was a few snippets of Der Slick's speech on Drudge's show to remember how long-winded and boring a speaker he is--I never want to hear anyone malign President Bush's direct, terse and purposeful speeches again!
Clinton's a sociopath of the worst order, trading on the power of the presidency while denigrating its current occupant and his power.
What do we do with such a creature?
I suggest he take up gardening, fishing, stamp collecting or bee-keeping but quit talking, pointing your finger and leave us alone, Bill!

Here's a link to the text and video of the President's speech on Hurricane Katrina rebuilding which he gave last Thursday night:
President Discusses Hurricane Relief in Address to the Nation
I watched most of it and listened to the rest sitting at the computer;
my favorite parts were his reminder that we all have a home in "the house not made with hands" (with God) and his description of a New Orleans jazz funeral.
For some reason, that recalled N.O. to me so strongly that I could only respond to the issue of whether or not we should rebuild the Crescent City with a hearty, "Of course, we must!"
Afterwards, the Dhimmicrat pundits couldn't decide if the speech and the programs it outlined were more like LBJ's "Great Society" or FDR's when he dealt with the ravages of the Great Depression-Wow.
Damning with faint praise, indeed, by comparing Bush to those giant architects of liberalistic American society!
Former Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile said that she was enthusiastically on board after the speech (she has close family in the affected area), as were a group of Katrina evacuees gathered at Houston's Astrodome, to the surprise of ABC!
(They were so hoping for some primo Bush-bashing and got a group of new Bushies instead!)
There are now some Republicans (!) whining about the cost of project (and granted, they did sound expensive), but President Bush did say that some of it would be funded by private sector initiatives and/or programs that had individual incentives like property ownership, rather than just give-a-ways.
The U.S. is a very wealthy country and really has to include New Orleans in its future, but let's build it higher or at least above sea level this time, whaddya say?
MSNBC's lone Conservative Tucker Carlson commented that when Bush talked about the poor, black victims of Katrina as being the product of "racial discrimination," it was the first time a Republican (President) had ever admitted this publicly...maybe so, but I'm sure they knew it existed.
With the horrors brought by Katrina, it may be a good thing for us all: we comfortable "rich, white" people have to face the fact that there are still others in our country who suffer just because of their skin color, while it may also be the push up and out they need for the poverty-stricken black Katrina victims who were blasted out of their go-nowhere, welfare existence.
I hope and pray that the blessing that comes out of this storm is new opportunities for us all, for them to make a new start and for the rest of us to give them a hand up.
We can only hope and pray that the New New Orleans won't have so many poor, such bad public schools, so many gang murders or so many drugs and that any remnants of the Old South or slavery are merely anecdotes, recipes or old tunes, not today's impoverished, needy citizens.
When Bush said, at the end of his speech, "...the street cars will once again rumble down St. Charles," I believed him and I'll bet you did, too.
I've ridden that street car and I'd love to be able to do it again some day soon.
Once again, President Bush rides to the rescue at America's time of need.
A great American President, as Bush is, would do no less.
And when the Commander-in-Chief says "Rebuild," can private enterprise be far behind?
