Bill Clinton vs. GW Bush: Compare and Contrast, who's lies are worse?
I think that Bill Clinton's Book "My Life", and more importantly the media coverage around it, will in fact not only help John Kerry, but the millions of swing voters make up their mind's on Bushco. It's a brilliant tactic, even without a balanced punditry discussing it on cable.

Why? Because it allows people to compare and contrast Clinton to Bush. Not only lies and manipulation but the humanity of both of them.

It allows people to remember and examine BOTH their records.
It allows for those whom really don't remember, to now examine both their records.

It runs the gambit from personality to policy.

The news flow does not stop from discussing Clinton's personal failures to lieing about Monica (funny how the wig nuts don't discuss policy much but just focus and seethe about Clinton personally), soldiers keep on dying in Iraq with no end in sight, while Iraq remains in Chaos. The 9/11 commission rebuts Bushco catching them in an act of manipulation, events are starting the heat up on the PLame outing again, the memo that says Bush has the right to side-step the constitution, Ken Lay (good old Kenny Boy, about to be strung up), etc..............

Most peoples minds are made up about Clinton, but not about Bush, since he our present. Bushco's lies and manipulations will become even
more distinct, blowing away the MYTH of Buscho's integrity, the MYTH that the right-wing are morally superior to the left.

The book also calls out the Clinton haters and will "expose them" to more people for the seething hateful hypocrites they really are. Bush Haters vs. Clinton Haters, everyone will remember how rabid the wig nuts were in the 1990's.

Yes, it's a minor distraction but it is a good one. "My Life" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" at around the same time, an upper-cut followed by a left hook, while the news flow highlights Bushco's mistakes coming to bite them back in the ass.

1. I normally hate using "bumper sticker sound-bites"...
But this one sums the comparison up best, IMO:

"Which is worse:
Screwing an INTERN...
or SCREWING THE COUNTRY?"

B-)

3. If w's lips are moving, then he is lying
That is my opinion at least.

To my knowledge, the only lie that Mr. Clinton was ever accused of involved the Lewinsky affair.

On the other hand, the list of the apparent lies told by george bush and company is almost endless. His lies have resulted in the death of thousands, the maiming of hundreds of thousands, the impoverishment of millions, the enrichment of his cronies in the billions, and the debiting of us American peasants in the trillions.

Uh, what was the apparent harm done by Mr. Clinton again?

2. Bill Press made the exact same point on National tv this morning...
Of course, that was when Joe Scarborough let him get a word in edgewise this morning on the Today Show.

To hear those words on national tv was, just breathtaking...<sigh>

American people countless numbers of times...endangered us to terrorists and alienated our allies in the world, not to mention looting the treasury and enriching his energy industry cronies...( and more besides ) ,

But Clinton was caught up in immoral sexual behavior !

At least Bush was moral !!


What if Bush IS a menace to world peace and stability?
so what?

If it were in my power, would give Clinton a harem if he wanted one.

The Chimperor has no clothes!
