Any answer to a question about the invasion of Iraq that begins with
Afghanistan is not reasonable. Thomas was trying to get him to
actually answer the question she asked.

Helen Thomas should simply ask her question and shut up. If she
doesn't like the answer she should wait to be called on again -- or
she should simply dispute his answer in print. She was unacceptably
rude, and is clearly no longer a journalist, but rather an ideologue
of the Left, and a spokesperson for the DNC. And, by the way, Bush
didn't start his answer with Afghanistan -- but if you didn't like his
answer, too bad. Unfortunately, Helen Thomas hardly let him get a word
in edgewise. If Clinton had been treated as rudely you would have been
furious, and I would have had to agree with you.



No way. Clinton answered the questions that were asked
(excluding Monica, which I'm sure some people still count on
despite what's happened in the current administration). If he
couldn't answer, he'd say why he couldn't. He wouldn't just
spin off into something unrelated to the question.

Rumpel -- Please! "I did not have sex with that woman!" And that was
on national television.


And, as I said, it didn't damage me or the country. The trial and
Ken Starr's prosecution did damage the country, but the Clinton's
lie or lies about his personal sex life themselves did not.



He also perjured himself before a Grand Jury.
Then there was the denial of Jennifer Flowers on 60 Minutes -- after
which she produced a tape recording. As Harry Truman would have said,
"A liar by day and a liar by night." In any case, whether a member of
the press liked the answers he was getting or not (and I am sure there
were many times when the answers were pure BS), that reporter would
have been completely out of line to start shouting at Clinton and
repeatedly interrupt him. Case closed.


I'll take Clinton over Bush any day of the week. He didn't lie
to me or try to mislead me about world or domestic affairs.
it was good times then, and it's terrible, maybe fatal, times now,
both domestically and internationally. Apparently we have
different ideas about what's really important for the country. I
don't think much of your priorities there, myself. In fact I find
them desperate attempts to whitewash Bush by comparison
with relative trivialities when compared with the colossal
harm that the Bush administration has done to the country
by "lying" or "misleading", both domestically and internationally.
