Almost as adorable as Righties claiming Bill Clinton is personally responsible for every bad decision George Bush has made.vraiblonde said:
"Hey Bill, it's me, Dubya. Say, I was thinking maybe I shouldn't invade Iraq until we have some sort of a post-invasion plan that will work. Whatcha think? Oh...really...? I should just invade, and everything will be just fine and dandy once Sadaam's out of power? Sure??? Okay...if you say so. Thanks. Oh, and thanks for that case of pretzels...that sure was nice of you. I love pretzels. Well, gotta run, I have to try to convince Rummy and Dick that we should invade, even though they really don't want to. No...no...I don't think that'll be necessary. If I need you talk to them, I'll have them call you. Yep. thanks again, Bill...you're always there for me when I need you. Send Hillary my best. Bye-bye".

Never seen that.Kerad said:
But they have blamed him for hypocrisy regarding Iraq - claiming that he wasn't a threat, didn't have WMD's, should not have been removed from power, blah-blah-blah - when anyone can just roll back the clock and listen to them. There's a stack of paper this high with all of them claiming it was the right thing to do. And Republicans bristling because they thought the whole thing was a diversion from the impeachment, with virtually no sense of integrity.
Which it may have been. To watch them all scurry away from those remarks in abject denial can only mean, they didn't mean it when they said it. Because it's on the record. And dammit, it wasn't that long ago.
Two things I know they do blame on Clinton, and I think they have a case. One is the economy he got upon taking office. Even on paper, it was tanking in the year 2000 before W took office. The Internet bubble? Under Clinton. Enron? *Prosecuted* under Bush, but happened under Clinton.
The second one is flimsier - but also his fault. And that's the lackluster effort to pursue terrorists and al-Qaeda. And I know he's claimed he did all he could to get bin Laden (which really means, please, Bill, shut the hell up then, when criticizing W for NOT getting him - in 8 years, YOU didn't get him and you did the very best you could). But he didn't pursue it. We had a half dozen direct attacks and he did damned little. These guys who carried out 9/11 had been here for years while Clinton was President. All that crap about intel on these guys and Bush did nothing - well damn, it was 7-8 years of stuff. *Surely* a man protecting our nation as best as he could could have done something? They grabbed a kid out of his home and packed him off to Cuba - they couldn't grab a few guys they were watching?
So - no, not everything. Two things. And I think they have a point.

Uh huh.
You're right. The Democrats were unreasonable and vicious with Reagan as well.awpitt said:
Whatever the word used, Cheney is there until noon on 1/20/09 and Bush can't change that the way he can with Cabinet Secreties and other staff.Larry Gude said:...is such a limited word. I've invited a few folks to no longer work for me over the years.
Semantics.

Thank you. They act like Michael Brown is going to jump in a boat and start rescuing people.Nucklesack said:
And apparently that's what the liberal media thought should happen because they'd have all these moron talking heads criticizing Brown for not doing enough, and it's like, well DUH, what do you expect him to do????
Their white guilt would never allow them to attack a black woman. No, it'll be some white guy.PsyOps said:

And W...
...didn't come out and say "You people don't know what the hell you're talking about nor one damn thing about the job. This was a huge storm that hit a city that sits below sea level filled with people who chose, CHOSE to not get out. The Lord can't help those who won't help themselves and neither can the federal government and neither can my boy Brownie. Amen."vraiblonde said:
You're right, he didn't. He promptly asked for Brown's resignation instead. Because that's the kind of guy he is.Larry Gude said:

The assertion that the word "slave" or "slavish" is racist is, in itself, racist.Nucklesack said:You mean like going after a Black Republican running for Senate, having Oreo's rolling on the 2002 Debate floor or being called Uncle Tom (Link)
Bill Clintons (for you Kerad) buddy Steny Hoyer would never say he's a Slave to the GOP
I see no reason to go after Condi Rice for anything. She doesn't seem overtly unqualified or dishonest. She does have that history of exaggerated statements during the run up to the Iraq invasion ("mushroom cloud", "six months from a crude nuclear device")...but there was plenty of that to go around.
Of course Bush had a much more qualified Secretary of State in Powell...but it seems Powell had this annoying habit of questioning things.
In a way, it's too bad Condi has so handcuffed her reputation to Bush's failed policies. She seems very bright and capable, generally speaking. Maybe she'll be able to separate herself from the Bush legacy and continue to serve in some capacity in the future.
Okay, I hear ya. Maybe Rice is next on the chopping block.Nucklesack said:
