Used correctly, the B word is kind of flattering.

It's the C word that's not.

Maybe Bill can chair a national task force on that. He is good with woman.
Exactly. Where were all you "protectors of women" when Hill&Bill were savaging the ones Bill had assaulted?

I think Bill Clinton should have been removed from office for lying under oath. He also disgraced the office of President and that was shameful.

But whom did he assault?

As far as we know, they were all consenting adults and your GOP spin really has no merit. It doesnt excuse what he did to his wife but that's something between Bill and Hillary-apparently theyve worked it out.

That is a far cry from a McCain advisor on CNN saying that its okay to call her a )#@$!^

apples and oranges.

This is a side bar question: but wasn't that perjury? Shouldn't he have went to jail? I was only about 16/17 when this happened so I didn't follow it too closely but I always wondered why nothing happened to him....

He settled with Paula Jones for 850000 on her sexual harrassment suit after it was dismissed but before the appeal went forward. I do not think we can give him a complete pass on his behavior, and I would not allow my daughter to work for him, but it is not the same as a continual disparaging of women in general, that is true.

I hate to burst your bubble but they were not all consenting adults, Paula Jones being just one of them that won a judgement for his behavior.

Before the case reached trial, Judge Susan Webber Wright granted President Clinton's motion for summary judgment, ruling that Jones could not show that she had suffered any damages--according to Arkansas state law standards of outrage and intentional infliction of emotional distress--even if her claim of sexual harassment were otherwise proven. Jones appealed the dismissal to a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, where, at oral argument, two of the three judges on the panel appeared sympathetic to her arguments.[6] On November 13, 1998, Clinton settled with Jones for $850,000, the entire amount of her claim, but without an apology, in exchange for her agreement to drop the appeal. All but $151,000 went to pay what were by then her considerable legal expenses. Before the end of the entire litigation, her marriage broke apart and she appeared in the news media to show the results of a nose job paid for by a donor.[7]

I sincerely hope he's learned his lesson by now.

His otherwise great legacy has been tarnished and its really quite sad.
