#3 Typical of the Clintons, more concerned over themselves than others. More proof NOT to let them back in the white house.

#4 Bill Clinton Tearful Over Lewinsky, Not Khobar

even if this weren't true, the description fits Clintoon's low rent character to a tee.

#5 Wow. Bandar bitch-slappin' Clitty. Very unlike a former Ambassador, much less the Saudi Candyman, to come out and call a spade a spade. A massive butt stompin'. Clitty and Burglar are effectively destroyed by this. Every Politician in Washington knows Bandar (unfortunately for the American people) and will believe him... he has < .00001% as much reason to lie about it, especially considering how, um, pliable and accommodating corrupt Donk administrations like Camelot II (and the looming promise of Camelot III) are. That it was delivered in plainspeak is amazing in 10 different ways. This could be a serious pivot point in the disingenuous attempts to keep up the facade of Camelot II. Wow.

#6 Bill, I feel your pain, and would like to double it, brother.

#7 Okay, reading into this a lot from very little... Clinton was the reason the Saudi's had no faith/had lost faith in the US. He is/was clearly self-centered, vain, shallow, not the kind of guy the house of Saud could feel any kind of security in dealing with. He would sell them out in a second to further himself. They know the type well, and come by the knowledge honestly. It is easy seeing them view Clinton with complete contempt, and tarring the public who voted him into office - twice - with the same brush. Think of the Saudis as knowing they need to change before they self-consume; hating the thought of that change; looking for an anchor - a moral anchor - for this change, and having Clinton be the leader of the US (the otherwise first candidate for anchor) for eight long years. Of seeing firsthand his amorality, time after time. They must have despaired. I have no love for Saud (nor hate for that matter) but this had to have been the cause of near-absolute depair.

#8 Oh, and this is a tacit admission that they were wrong then.

#9 Oh,how you forget how good the Clinton's are at spin-"this is merely retaliation by the Bushes' good friend for Bill telling the truth about George W"

#10 This is more like, we will say anything to divert attention from us, and if we can get in good with the right wing Clinton haters, even better, as they are in power and are demanding we change out ways. Placate the fools with a little Clinton bashing, priceless

#11 Except that Bush is leaving and the wet-finger-in-the-wind types, like Billary, are in the ascendency.
