A very funny commercial for an insurance company, I guess. Not sure what the heck it has to do with insurance, but enjoy!

The Height of Hypocrisy

Gingrich had affair during Clinton probe

This guy was the leader of the republicans and the guy who spearheaded the move to destroy Clinton during the period.

When you find out things like this coupled with the mess the current leadership has the U.S. in, Clinton's silly foibles sure seem inconsequential, eh?

If you read the article you'll see he tries to justify his idiocy. I particularly enjoy the part about his marriage to one of his high school teachers (eek!). She claims he brought about divorce proceedings while she was recovering from cancer surgery...what a lovely fellow.

He 'fessed up to his affair to James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, another scumbag. It's only a matter of time before he is exposed. It's folks like Dobson that scare me the most. They hide behind Christian dogma to achieve a hate-filled, bigoted agenda.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The entire group that tried to bring down Clinton was smarmy. This is not to say Clinton was squeaky clean. His proclivities were well known. His strengths far outweighed his faults.

Molly Ivins R.I.P.

Molly Ivins, one of the great political writers of this era died Wednesday. She had a knack for injecting searing humor into her analysis of the political arena, especially Texas politics. She had been battling breast cancer for a long time. This was the third recurrence of the cancer, she didn't beat it this time.

She was an unabashed liberal with the ability to skewer those in power on both sides.

Bill Clinton once said she was "good when she praised me and painfully good when she criticized me.".

Even our current president, whose name I can't seem to get to roll off my tongue, had this to say:
"Molly Ivins was a Texas original, I respected her convictions, her passionate belief in the power of words, and her ability to turn a phrase. She fought her illness with that same passion."

A few good quotes from Molly:

I am not anti-gun. I'm pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We'd turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don't ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.

Conservatives have been mad at the Supreme Court since it decided to desegregate the schools in 1954 and seen fit to blame the federal bench for everything that has happened since then that they don’t like.

Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.

Amen.
