PRICELESS LETTER TO THE CLINTONS
Edited on Thu Jul-31-03 07:33 PM by gully
being circulated by the 'right'...

Clinton pissed me off last week but??? Wanna help me rewrite this as a PRICELESS LETTER TO BUSH...?


The letter is prefaced by this;

"If you ARE NOT a Clinton fan, read on:
If you ARE a Clinton fan, read on and remember:"

Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one involved does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look
moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonments from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far)
in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.

9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars--- I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more well deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned dollars than jet fuel for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society.

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic
compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!

13. Please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her upcoming "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!

14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American
President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why
shouldn't Americans know the real truth?

What a guy!!

If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so
wisely and frugally.

SINCERELY,


A US Citizen


PS. Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful factual e-mail.


AND THE REST OF THE STORY
Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.. (Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?)

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that?

WE DO!

It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York. Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage
to house the Secret Service agents.

The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment.. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal!

When she runs for President, will you vote for her?

How many people can YOU send this to?

1. At least Clinton is an "Ex President". What will Bush be?
Do these people really believe this stuff? I mean, clearly whoever wrote this letter was literate. Even if he is stupid.

Do a search on "Clinton" or "Hillary Clinton" or "Secret Service", you'll find it.

8. Some ideas for your letter to Bush
Dear Mr. President:

1) I use to feel bad about not being good at math. After all, the people who got the best paying jobs were engineers and computer scientists, fields which require math skills. Now, thanks to your policies, they are just like the rest of us and I no longer have to feel stupid about being bad at math.

2) Thank you for bringing religion into politics. A strict constitutional constructionist might have problems with your faith-based initiatives and your constant references to God but I welcome these changes. If we continue on the path you set for us, the United States could become the Christian version of Iran.

3) Thank you for lying about the war in Iraq. I use to think that the worse thing a president could do is lie about his sex life. Now I know that there are far worse things a president can say and do.

4) From your conservative's list "Thank you demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie 'Wag the Dog' could be plausible after all."

5) Thank you for being a man of action. A lesser president might have actually spent more time planning the future for the postwar Iraq before attacking. However, you proved that you were a man of action and went ahead and invaded Iraq. I am sure that everything will work out in the end.

6) Thank you for appointing John Ashcroft as Attorney General of the United States. One must feel sorry for poor Mr. Ashcroft since he lost an election to a dead man. At least he has an important job trying to prevent sick people from using the demon drug marijuana.

9. A good one exists, needs updating:

Subject: Thanks Mr. pResident

Dear Mr. Bush

Thank you for ignoring the Saudi's responsibility for the September 11th attacks, after all, 15 out of the 19 hijackers were
Saudi's, as well as Osama. You bomb the hell out Afghanistan, yet have the Saudi Royal family to your home in Texas,
while their banks are laundering the terrorist's money and making sure Al Qaeda's assets are safe...

Thank you for not publicly mentioning that the Saudi's are politically, and financially supporting groups like Hamas and
other terror organizations. Although the Saudi's fund terror, you haven't included them in your "list of terror" nations..
You have also NOT mentioned them in your "war on terror".

Thank you for causing the families who are grieving the senseless loss of their family members in the September 11th
attacks to have to go after the Saudi's WITHOUT any help from your administration.. You would think that the US
would be first in line to go after the assets of a country who supports terrorists during a “war on terror”.


Thank you for making Saddam your new boogieman. It's finally gotten through your thick heads that the constant fake
terror warnings all spring and summer to get the attention away from the damage you're doing to
the country was just making the public angry.. Too bad your daddy didn't finish the job in Iraq when there were over
500,000 American troops in the area 10 years ago.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

So, Thanks for being as big a screw up as your daddy. Thank you for telling the American public how the economy is so
strong, even though the Dow Jones Average has lost 25% of it's value since you were crowned, that you've managed to
lose a good percentage of the 22 million new jobs that were created after your father's recession, and other economic
indicators are saying that the economy is stagnant and going nowhere.

Thanks for helping to destroy a strong economy between the election, your selection and your inauguration day by down
talking the strong economy so you could get your huge tax cut passed as a pay back for your wealthiest
contributors.

Thanks for instructing your supporters to keep reminding the public about the last president's sex life. It helps the
perverts who fixated on his sex life while he was in office to keep those images in their heads. After all, only a perverted
individual would obsess about a private relationship between TWO CONSENTING ADULTS.

One bad thing about it, it reminds the country that 18 short months ago, the biggest news was who the president was
having sex with, rather than terror alerts, 3000 deaths, the stock market losing it's value, people's retirements vanishing,
escalating violence in the middle east, and all the other daily disasters that have gripped the country since your daddy's
friends at the US Supreme Court gave you your job.

In your first international incident, thank you for telling China that the US would never apologize for the spy plane
incident, then issue a statement a few days later saying that the United States was very very very sorry for allowing it's
plane to be hit by China's pilot.

Thank you, Mr. Bush, for the growing unemployment rate.. When you were appointed, the country had just gone through
a period when 22 million jobs were created in 8 years, you've managed to lose 11 million of them in 18 short months.


Thank you for turning the longest and strongest period of economic growth into the first recession since your daddy's
recession.

Since you were handed your job, $17 trillion dollars of the nation's worth of wealth has evaporated from the stock
markets, America thanks you for their lost savings and retirement funds.



Thank you so much for taking your month long Texas vacation last summer (after only 6 months of work), and ignoring
the terror warnings that were coming in all summer.. Little things like, young Arab men in flight schools in Arizona who
wanted to steer airplanes, but not fly them, a young Arab man in custody in Minnesota who wanted to fly an airplane
into the World Trade Center, and for ignoring reports that Osama bin Laden wanted to hijack airplanes.



As long as we're thanking you for vacations, thanks for breaking a record for the most vacation time during your first
seven months of work for ANY SITTING pResident. (Now I know why they call it a "Sitting pResident".)


Thank you Mr. President for hiding the fact that your administration was warned about the terror attacks before
September 11th for 8 months, so you could run around the country playing hero.While the country was reeling from the
attacks on September 11th, thank you Mr. Bush for running and hiding like a little girl.. It was comforting for the nation to
see Karen Hughes on TV on the afternoon of September 11th telling the country that the president was safe..

Thank you for selling your September 11th photo's so the republican party could profit from the deaths of 3000 innocent
people. Thank you for not even looking at the airport security and anti terrorism measures that the Clinton administration
had sent to the house in 96, 97, 98, 99 and 2000. Yes, Mr. Bush, the same airport security and anti terrorism measures
that the house republicans killed each and every one of those years without even bringing them up for debate because they
were too busy looking into Mr. Clinton's bedroom window. Thank you for at least implementing most of the measures
that Clinton had asked for AFTER SEPTEMBER 11th.

Thank you Mr. Bush for spending the first 234 days of your presidency pushing your massive tax cut plan, and Ken
Lay's Enron Energy policy that would have put even more money into Ken Lays’ swiss bank account before Enron
declared “bankruptcy”. (So much for effective bankruptcy reform… oh that’s right… only POOR people should be
forced to pay debt to creditors!!!)



Thank you for the tax cut that rewards middle income individuals with around a $100 dollars a year, but rewards people in
Dick Cheney's income bracket over $125,000 dollars a year. Thank you some more, for that tax cut that is using OUR
social security money to pay for you giving hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to your biggest contributors.


Thank you, even more, for that tax cut for your wealthiest friends that is now leading our country into deficit spending,
guaranteeing that our children and grandchildren's tax dollars will be spent on paying off your debt and spending their tax
money on interest on that debt. While our country is at war, thank you so very much Mr. President
for spending at least three days a week traveling around the country at taxpayer expense fundraising and campaigning for
republican candidates.



Thank you Mr. Bush for abolishing clean air standards leading to more acid rain, and global warming. Thank you for
bowing down to the mining industry by allowing more arsenic in our drinking water. It’s comforting to know that while
you claim to be worried about Saddam using biological toxins as a weapon against our country, you think it’s perfectly
acceptable for corporations to poison the American people as long it’s being done for profit.

Thank you Mr. Bush for rewarding the Taliban with $43 million dollars in aid less than four months before September
11th. Thank you for reversing Clinton's 1998 ban on all aid to the Taliban for harboring bin Laden.. We know that the
Taliban wouldn't have used any of that $43 million dollars to harm Americans, after all, we've all
know how much they love the US.

Thank you Mr. Bush for your father working for the Carlyle Group, owned by Osama bin Laden's family, even after
September 11th. Thank you Mr. Bush, for the terror warnings that your administration always puts out to deflect
attention away from embarrassing news that your administration is involved in. Thank you Mr. Bush for letting Osama
bin Laden and Mullah Omar escape.

Thank you Mr. President for waffling on the stem cell issue, thus delaying cures for horrible diseases like: diabetes,
multiple sclerosis, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, etc, etc for years and years.



Thank you Mr. Bush for encouraging your "operatives" to keep lying and slandering the last administration.. After all, Al
Gore never said that he invented the internet. He said that he helped in the creation of the World Wide Web by
guaranteeing federal funds for it's research.. That's quite a big difference.



Thank you for seizing power of this country by force and transforming an era in which our biggest political concern was
over petty details of remarks made by Al Gore about the internet… into an era in which we must now worry about
whether our own department of justice is building concentration camps for arbitrarily selected “enemy combatants” whose
guilt requires no proof and whose right to a trial is denied in the name of “defending freedom”



Thank you because now, instead of worrying about Gore’s remarks about the internet, we now must look back at John
Ashcroft’s history of remarks about Jewish people, blacks, and gay people, and wonder why he is really building these
concentration camps and what he really plans on using them for.



Finally, Thanks for stopping them from counting my vote two years ago. It's nice to know that the American people
didn't get a voice or decision on any of the aformentioned blessings you have bestowed on our country. Obviously you
and your friends on the supreme court must have some great wisdom the American people do not have. Thank you for
usurping our votes and forcing your agenda on us. It's clear you have the moral high ground, and the results of your
pResidency speak for themselves.
