Please DU. Help me out here. WTF does Bill Clinton have to do with
Measure-Tape Gate?

Dennis Hastert blames not only Soros, but Clinton too.

Has the world gone completely crazy?

1. Nothing at all.
They just like to toss Clinton's name out to feed the base. Like tossing a pork chop to a pack of wolves.

5. Just a buzz word ...

...the Stepford RePug voters are programmed to get a glazed look, begin drooling, and shouting gibberish when they hear 'Clinton'.

10. But when things were a little bit better
in the 1990s the pugs said it was due to policies of the REAGAN administration.

9. It's very simple: Clinton made it OK to talk about penises.
But Catwoman: George Soros told me personally not to say that out loud.

15. Their base is conditioned to blame Clinton for everything
I think the idea is not to convince the average person, it is to give the blindly faithful some basis for sticking with the program. No matter what the issue or problem, they somehow can blame Bill Clinton. We laugh, but it is just the life-raft that kool-aid drinkers need to rationalize the delusional loyalty to which they have so much invested. "The war in Iraq is in shambles." "Yes but... Bill Clinton cut the military down to 5 guys!"
So Foley + Sex + Page = The Clenis + sex + intern. Will that work? Well as Otter said to Flounder, it's gotta work better than the truth.

16. My take on why (seriously)
The whole clinton thing was blown up as no one's business what they do sexually.

He was in power over her, she worked for him, he had sex with her, and the rw sees this as being very similar in a sense.

The idea is: if it is found out the page is over 18, why should anyone care as they did not care about clinton/monica.

THEN: if the page was 16-18 why should the left care as they are seen as the liberal party that wants to lower the age of consent anyway....

The RW has it framed all over the place. And NOW they will be preaching about how THEY were right all along and that gays can't keep it in their pants and just want to bang your kids and preach how great being gay is in school.

This won't affect the base, hell it may empower it!! "See, we told you the gays were pervs....and the liberals too, like clinton" - so it becomes relabeled that the left wants to fuck anything that moves and the right is there to protect you.

They can make shit smell like orchids to the base....

17. Them Pubs have no choice but to Deflect by Distraction...trouble is:
No NEW BULLETS....only them ole BOOMERANG BULLETS LEFT ....you know the kind...they use um over and over again...the same words, the same ole excuses, distractions...

The Pubs are void of Creativeness....their Brains prevent Creating.

18. Haven't you heard? the Clenis has had sex. Not with the pages, but
he's had sex. That's all that matters. He's had sex. That should wrap it up for you.

21. And Dick Morris! Like WTF big time?
This is our government people. They apparently still think it's 1996 and they are fighting Clinton. As Ellen DeGeneres would say.."SCAREEEEEEEE"

The blaming ABC thing was rich too after the recent total blaming of that little 9/11 thing on Clinton. These people are bat shit crazy.

23. This will go on even after Clinton is planted in the ground
It's in their bone marrow. It's been going on for decades (remember the "boy in the tree" lie from Clinton's first campaign) and it will never stop. I suggest reading Harry Shearer's "It's the Stupidity, Stupid (Why Some People Hate Bill Clinton and Why the Rest of Us Have to Listen). It brings back pain and laughter...but it also seems nothing changes.

My serious question to the rabid Right is this: What "revolution" did Bill and Hillary Clinton lead for you to hate them so? On one hand you can't call them "weak" (on defense, terror, morality etc.) and on the other call them all-powerful (destroying their enemies, being a terrible influence on youth). So, guys, which one is it?
