I don't care to ever see that man's face again, unless -->> in the Hague!

20. I'm afraid it won't happen.

Like France still has a warrant out for Kissinger, but he just never gets there ... for some reason. He won't see Paris, that's for sure! ;)

21. I really like Clinton,

but how he didn't endorse Gore was always a mystery to me.

[MiniMe]

23. Gore didn't want him to because of the impeachment

A grave mistake imho.
