2. ch'yea-uh
Problem is, he was so popular that the vast right-wing conspiracy came out and started wasting our government resources chasing down false perjury charges (the blow job was immaterial and thus perjury wasn't committed - and they had to know that).

4. He's supposed to make an announcement in June...
Could just be an endorsement for Kerry. I'm hoping for a full fledged tour.

Suggested Theme:
"The Good Old Days of Peace and Prosperity.
Elect Democrats and Happy Days will Be Here Again!"

5. Clinton's legacy:
during Clinton's administration, the Democrats lost:
- 48 seats in the House
- 8 seats in the Senate
- 11 governorships
- 1,254 state legislative seats
- Control of 9 legislatures
In addition 439 elected Democrats had joined the Republican Party while only three Republican officeholders had gone the other way.
While Democrats had been losing state legislative seats on the state level for 25 years, the loss during the Clinton years was striking. In 1992, the Democrats controlled 17 more state legislatures than the Republicans. After November 2000, the Republicans controlled one more than the Democrats. It was the first time since 1954 that the GOP had controlled more state legislatures than the Democrats (they tied in 1968). Among other things, this gave the Republican more control over redistricting.
In fact, no Democratic president since the 19th century suffered such an electoral disintegration of his party as did Clinton.

6. All due to ayatollahs like Robinson and Falwell,
poor judgment yes, but still the best politician in the world, we need his brilliant mind working for us, not sitting idle.

7. Pretty obvious contrast between someone who is bright
well motivated, interested in policy and not a crook, and the blithering idiot who now pretends to be president.

That SOB could screw up a crowbar.
