STOP USING SEX AS A WEAPON:
Is That Who I Think It Is? No (Dotty Lynch, Douglas Kiker and Brian Keaney, Dec. 4, 2002, Washington Wrap: CBS News)Yesterday, President Bush campaigned for Suzie Terrell, the GOP's U.S. Senate candidate in Louisiana. At the same time, former President Clinton appeared in a radio spot touting his close relationship with Terrell's Democratic opponent, incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu. The only wrinkle is that the voice in the ad is a Bill Clinton imitator – who introduces himself as "Bubba" - and the ad is for Terrell's campaign, not Landrieu's."You know, I miss Washington. But there's a woman in the Senate I can always count on. My Washington and Hollywood friends think she's great," exclaims the faux Clinton. "Hillary? Heck no! I am talking about Mary Landrieu."
"Clinton" – who doesn't actually sound very much like the real one - then goes on to "praise" Landrieu for her votes for "taxpayer-funded abortions, needles for drug addicts and to close vital military bases." [...]
The real Bill Clinton considered visiting Louisiana over the Thanksgiving weekend to attend a football game between two historically black universities. But, in the end, he decided not to go.
Bill Clinton is the only president I can recall who's gotten less popular on leaving office. How's that legacy thing going? Posted by Orrin Judd at December 4, 2002 1:55 PM
Well, Reagan had one or two shaky years as a result of that million-dollar Japanese lecture tour.
I think that means that (sadly) Clinton has a chance to bounce back.
James:
Who, outside of the media, even knew about that tour?
James - Hopefully not. It seems like every 90 days or so another 'success' of the Clinton regime explodes, like N. Korea and their nukes... I think the best he can do is kind of immitate Carter. Build some houses, but unlike Carter, Shut Up.
