[DemocratSinceBirth]

Speaker Gingrich
Speaker -to-be Livingston
Speaker -to-be McCarthy

[leftofcool]

1. Yep!

[riversedge]

2. I would include Hass-turd even if he left

before his serious problems.

[Le Taz Hot]

3. So . . . you're attributing their downfall

to the Clintons? Uh huh.

[panader0]

4. I always thought you put the notch on the handle of your pistol

not on the holster...

[Le Taz Hot]

6. Well, not being real familiar with firearms

or their folklore I didn't notice.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. I was going to use a scalp metaphor but I didn't want to offend Native Americans.

Any way I read they learned that behavior from the settlers.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. What part of ...

What part of Bob Livingston and Newt Gingrich were victims of the Lewinsky brouhaha and Kevin McCarthy was a victim of the Benghazi kerfuffle don't you understand?


I remember a tobacco lawyer named Ken Starr who was headed to the Supreme Court until the Clintons handed him his ass...

[Le Taz Hot]

10. The Clintons handed him . . .

You do remember Clinton was impeached, right? And, even though he wasn't convicted it pretty much crippled his presidency for the remainder of his term. Wow! You guys put a whole new meaning to the word "delusional." It's actually pretty amazing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. You mean the impeachment

You mean the impeachment that led to him leaving office with an approval rating in the high 60s:






or do you mean the impeachment that led to him being the most popular living president?





Oh, thanks for kicking my thread. I would be remiss if I didn't give you a

[Le Taz Hot]

18. Um, an impeachment is an indictment.

The Senate could not remove him from office (by 1 vote) but it still hampered his presidency. That one's not even debatable. By, like, anyone. This is just weird.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. What part of...

What part of he was impeached on a virtually straight party line don't you understand?

Oh, thank you again for kicking my thread. I would be remiss if I didn't give you a

[hrmjustin]

26. More than 1 vote. You need two thirds for conviction.

[quickesst]

33. A slam dunk...

... and after that it means diddly shit what anybody says about it. Oh, they're going to try, but facts are facts. Good post. Nothing but net.🏀🏀

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Oh please

I recall that President Clinton's approve went UP after the bullshit Impeachment.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. Anybody that gets that upest over consensual oral favors likely never received or gave any.

[Fawke Em]

32. Benghazi, maybe, but the private and unsecured server is gonna be a mess.

[JaneyVee]

5. Benghazi committee claims its first victim.

Kevin McCarthy.

[workinclasszero]

12. Bahahaha!

Damn that fascist unamerican anti democratic hater dumpster fire republican party!

Another "young gun" teahaddist that was goin to save their evil party for the Koch bros....crashes and burns!

[DCBob]

9. Careful some might take this the wrong way..

[DisgustipatedinCA]

11. You're accusing her of murder. These guys all committed suicide.

[wyldwolf]

13. Right winger Bill Bennett once said...

"All of you really need to stop chasing the Clintons because they always turn around and wack you."

Either by skill or by luck, it sometimes seem supernatural.

[ucrdem]

15. And then there was Petreus

Top spy of the top spy agency gets caught sending g-mail valentines, resigns . . . hmm

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. Ha! I never heard that one.

[whatchamacallit]

14. Gingrich? I've been told repeatedly that Hillary isn't Bill

Aren't you kind of envoking 'Billary'?

[ucrdem]

20. Hadn't crossed my mind until you mentioned it but

this is what I like about Hillary. Jackie K she'll never be but she'll go after the VRWC like a holy terror.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. As will her friends and allies...

Winston Churchill said politics is worse than war because in war you only die once.

[Fumesucker]

27. Hillary didn't even realize the VRWC was lying about Iraq

Talk about naive...

[ucrdem]

29. She might have had her own reasons for taking out Saddam.

That's not to say that they were good reasons, necessarily, but after eight years of Clinton WH involvement with Iraq she probably knew as much or more about the subject than Shrub. She was also representing NYS which as I recall was on board with an Iraq invasion. So I doubt she fooled by any neocon PR.

[Armstead]

24. Those were self-inflicted wounds by the politicians in question

McCarthy is, to put it charitably, an idiot.

Larry Flint took down Livingston for his hypocrisy.

Newt was, well, being Newt.

[morningfog]

25. So this would be another example of non-sexist lumping of Bill and Hillary?

[tularetom]

28. Livingston got the boot because he couldn't keep it in his pants

And there are rumors that McCarthy has been diddling one of his female colleagues in the house.

I don't think adulterous relationships are something you want to use when you are attempting to gloat about "team Clinton", since the head honcho of said "team" is probably the most famous adulterer in American history.

But why am I wasting my time, you're going to do what you want anyway.

[Jim Lane]

30. If I were a Clinton campaign staffer, I would've been rooting for McCarthy to become Speaker.

She can still run the ads with his gaffe, but the ads won't have as much oomph as they would if they featured the top Republican in the House.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. I thought of that

34. DSB, this thread is a goldmine.

Can you imagine what DU would have been like had it existed in the mid-to-late 90s?

Hourly Ken Starr reports? A countdown to the First Lady's indictment for a shady land deal? A daily update of the Clinton Body Count? Protesters at the Mena Airport? High-res photos of Christmas Tree Condoms?

Shit, it's been 16 years since the impeachment and these posters are still obsessed with the Clenis? Just imagine the stank back then!

BTW, one more tangential hit:



Congressman Henry Hyde.
