Bill Clinton, be a man. Ask for Chimp's resignation.

[montana500]

If Bill does not, I simply won't see him in the same light any longer.

If you can try and impeach a president for a blow job, you can sure as heck try and impeach a president for incompetence during the biggest disaster in U.S. history.

1. Bill Clinton is doing fine.

[xray s]

3. bullshit

all this "a previous President can't criticize the current President" is BULLSHIT!

We can't wait for another goddam whitewash commission to investigate and give a report that will be buried on page 14 of the MSM.

FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM NOW! FIRE BROWN AND CHERTOFF!

[applegrove]

4. I mean - I think Clinton is hanging around to save the country. That

is why he is be-friending the Bushes. Bush is surrounded by sociopaths and someone really, really, really, smart had to go in.

That is why I say he is doing fine. He has to do what you have to do.

[NYC Liberal]

10. And when will he do something??

He's been "hanging out" with them for a while. When is he gonna "save the country"?

[GoSolar]

22. Thank you

for asking that question. I'd like to know that too.

[magnolia]

19. He IS criticizing the...Bush.

Bush was already starting to lose his base...over immigration, gas prices and the war. His response to the hurricane could be the straw that breaks the camels back.

A call for resignation from Clinton would rally his base so fast it would make our collective liberal heads spin!

If I had the intellect and experience that Clinton has I would criticize him at every turn the way some of you are. But I don't. I don't always agree with him...but I trust that he knows what he is doing.

2. Clinton, Carter, Gore and Kerry all need to pay a visit to the

chimp together, flanked by as many Admirals, Generals and Ambassadors as they can muster and have a little chat with him.

[applegrove]

5. Don't you get it. There is no point in visiting the chimp. The Chimp

has no idea what is going on.

[lancdem]

6. Are you calling for Dean, Reid and Kerry

to do the same? They're actually in positions of power.

[SaveElmer]

7. Brilliant suggestion...

Lets see how would this play out.

First, some background:

Bush responds to hurricane Katrina by eating Birthday cake and playing guitar, waits days to even acknowledge a problem, and the country turns against him

Then, Bush calls Clinton in to save his ass...again. Clinton agrees for the good of the country. Counrty still against Bush. Even fellow Republicans are having trouble defending him, with some going off script and actually criticizing him. Bush poll numbers are in free fall.

Clinton decides to do an about face and calls for Bushs resignation. All of a sudden Hurricane Katrina is no longer the issue, the right wing media gets off the mat because they now have Bill Clinton to kick around again.

The story of the poor suffering victims of this disaster, and the utter incompetence of those in the Bush admin goes the way of the Plame investigation and the Downing Street Memo, and we never hear of it again...because...it is party time...it's all Clinton all the time again.

Just what we need!!!

[Mr Rabble]

8. I think you are right here. nt

[montana500]

12. well if Clinton doesn't say it...

someone else needs to, and hopefully sometime fairly soon. It would be nice to have the discussion started to see a few polls.

[blondeatlast]

20. No more calls; we have a winner.

That is EXACTLY the way it would play out.

Are you prescient? That's an amazingly accurate forecast.

[jsamuel]

9. Clinton is too smart to do that... No former Pres should EVER do that

It would undermine the rule of law and be an overall disaster to the strength of the US.

Horrible precident...

[montana500]

11. ....

"Horrible precident..."


a horrible precedent for an even more horrible time. What did Bush 1 have to say about Clinton's possible impeachment?

[NYC Liberal]

13. "undermine the rule of law and", "be an overall disaster to the strength

of the US"

Sounds like the Bush presidency in a nutshell.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. It's time for Clinton to speak out, even if it is not calling outright for resignation.

[Q]

14. There is no 'rule of law' to 'undermine'...

...Jesus. Have Americans been so dumbed-down that they don't even realize that they no longer live in a Democracy that honors the Constitution? Don't they realize that the Bush Cabal has long ago declared themselves ABOVE the rule of law? Have they not seen that BushCo was able to get away with it because there is no opposition to their takeover (coup) of our government?

Clinton sold out long ago. Hell...I wouldn't even call him a Democrat. He's an opportunistic political shill trying to regain some of his former glory by rubbing elbows with the fascists in full control of our country.

Americans better wake the hell up soon and smell the fascism. The corporate/military state.

[babylonsister]

15. Not at this point; leaders needed NOW! nt

[soothsayer]

16. Can't. He's surgically attached at the hip to Poppy. It's still the

most bizarre thing I've seen, their traveling minstrel show.

[Six Feet Underground]

17. Bill's too busy playing softball w/GHB in order to get real like that. eom

Not GHB, the drug, but G. Herbert Bush.

[MojoXN]

18. Next time, for clarity's sake...

Why not use all of his initials: GHWB. No confusion!

Welcome to DU!

21. If Clinton were to bash chimpie, that very bashing would then be....

lead story, not chimpie's performance. As it is now, even some repukes are starting to bash chimpie. Any negative comments would just give the repukes and reason to circle the wagons around chimpie.
The world doesn't need Bill Clinton to tell us what a dangerous, incompetent, fool chimpie is.
Clinton takes disingenuous hits. Ariana's 'Suckup-in-chief' piece wasn't very well thought out. She took more hits in the comments section than she gave Clinton. I confess that I piled on when I first read Ariana's thread, but upon reflection, I came to the place I am at now. Adam Nagourney has a bullshit piece in today NY Times.
Clinton wants to help. He can do so by raising money. That region is going to need every nickel it can get.
We Democrats don't need instant gratification on this. History will not be kind to chimpie, long term history or, more importantly, short term history.
