in his depo in January of 98...this was after Tripp and Starr made Lewinsky available to the P. Jones defense in December. Coulter wrote the description of sexual contact read to President Clinton..and fucked it up so badly that when Starr went to the media in January of 98 with what he thought was a perjury trap.... he was fucked. Coulter was one of those 'helpful elves' described by David Brock.... an unemployed lawyer made available to the Jones defense by Ken Starr.... and she couldn't even come up with a description of oral sex to get Clinton into a perjury trap... which tells you exactly how vanilla her life is.


after the failure to get Clinton into a perjury trap... Starr had to take the case to DC grand jury... which also refused to return a true bill. although Kenny tried.... instead of the blowjob, Kenny tried to make penetration with a cigar an impeachable offense.

when the DC grand jury failed to buy this piece of bullshit... Kenny had to go to the House of Representatives.... where he failed again.

buy me a beer sometime...I'll tell you shit that'll curl your hair.

BC gave misleading (but factually correct) answers to questions during a civil trial deposition which isn't a crime. He was sanctioned by the judge because as a member of the bar he should have known better. However, despite the Republicans giving Ken Star $100 million in the effort, Neither of the Clinton's were ever so much as indicted for a parking ticket. This is really more of a testament to how squeaky clean both of them are, especially compared to every Republican president since Nixon that should have been investigated, indicted, and convicted, yet weren't.

or a newspaper subscription. And he must have never gone into any place that sells magazines or newspapers.

That's the only possible explanation.

he brought it up when interviewing Dick Durbin, then made it the first line of discussion with the panel.

At this date, who truly gives a fuck about that?

The Sunday New York Times has a huge front-page article about him, and about how he's going to mainstream Libertarianism.

Be my guest Rand: You'll be the Barry Goldwater for the 2010s, and it will scare the crap out of most voting Americans.

Sun Jan 26, 2014, 05:58 PM

David Gregory was asking Paul what he thought of his wife's remarks.

Here's her quote.

'Kelley gives the famously dour senator something more than merely a pretty image-softener. The 50-year-old mother of three is an impassioned defender of her husband and his ideas. But she’ll also speak her own mind. While her husband jokes that his “gut feeling” that Hillary Clinton will not run for president is a good thing since “all the polls show her trouncing any opponents,” Kelley practically cuts him off to say that Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky should complicate his return to the White House, even as First Spouse. “I would say his behavior was predatory, offensive to women,” she tells me.'

She sounds like a charmer..........

I am not even a fan of hillary running and this Is stupid.Hillary wasn't joining in with them.

The public already spoke they don't care what Bill Clinton did with other women.

If Paul Is the republican nominee he will help Hillary win with remarks like this.

Society generally accepts men cheating as normal, they joke about it on the talk shows, Bill blushes but laughs - it's the expected routine. But the women, they are thrown in the waste basket and deemed evil temptresses and trash that the poor guy had no defense for.

Same old forever and still today.

That is as sexist as it gets, and yet it's acceptable as it ever was in certain 'special' cases.
