What a difference a year makes :)

But seriously - they put that shit in the daily almanac???? WTF is up with that?

1. Maybe because that "I did not have..." remark was the cause of the

democrats being thrown out on their asses for years and led to the current son of a bitch we have now who is a liar, murderer, and con man, AWOL asshole, thief, whatever.

2. it was the lunatic promise of tax cuts that got dems thrown out.

not monica.

the whole contract on america -- and the dems were not at all aggressive in combatting it.

that vote in the house that balanced the budget and the republick party pulled the wool over america's eyes.

3. No, if old Billy had just said 'Yeah, I did it, so what? Its none of your

damn business' it would have taken the wind out of their sails. As it was, it was the PERFECT excuse for campaigning on bringing back decency and morality (what a fucking joke) to government.

4. He shoulda just said this:

"Hell yeah I got jiggy with Monica. What, you thought I was still doin' Hill? GEEZZZZ!!!"

5. UPI is part of the Moonie Times media conglomerate

not suprising, given the WashTimes and its media affiliates overt political bent, that this would be included in an almanac entry.
