Bill Clinton’s Bull Market
September 24, 2006 at 7:55 am
Bill Clinton says this to Fox News’s Chris Wallace about U.S. troops leaving Somalia after Black Hawk down in 1993: “Bin Laden may have said it — but it would have shown the weakness if we left right away. But he wasn’t involved in that, that’s just a bunch of bull.”
Bunch of bull. Sounds familiar. Where have we heard Clinton run with the bulls before?
How about here:
- “They knew for a long time there was nothing to Whitewater. They knew it was a bunch of bull.” (Jim Lehrer, Jan. 26, 2000).
- “The American people know that all the old cliches—tax and spend, soft on crime, weak on welfare—that it’s all a bunch of bull.” (New Hampshire Democratic speech, Feb. 17th, 1996)
- He has said publicly that Hale’s story is “a bunch of bull” fabricated to help him engineer a plea bargain with Kenneth Starr. (Washington Post, April 3, 1996)
- “They say, aw, it doesn’t matter who wins, all the politicians—you’ve heard all that stuff. I’m telling you it’s a bunch of bull.” (United Jewish Appeal speech, March 17, 1996)
- He had blunt words for Republican ads claiming Gore’s proposal to add a prescription drug proposal to Medicare would force senior citizens into a into a “government-run HMO.” “Folks, it’s a bunch of bull,” Clinton said. (CNN, Oct. 4, 2000)

So what’s your point here? Whitewater really was a bunch of bull, and the old cliches about tax and spend etc. really were a bunch of bull too (Clinton did actually balance the Federal Budget and delivered a surplus. Something that Bush and the GOP congress haven’t been able to do).
Sounds to me like Clinton’s been correct on every one of these points and the right-wing looneys have missed the mark ’cause they were too busy playing politics with the lives of our servicemen and the civilians killed on 9/11.

Bubba — I like to call him “Billie” — don’t like to curse half-ass. He always told me in between cigars: what he really means to say when you read him saying, according to media reports, “bull****, is bullshit. There: I said it.

Typically, pathetic right wing response: “I can’t think of anything intelligent to say, so I’ll just use sex jokes”
