And that's another tactic of these folks. Whenever Bush is under fire, bring up Clinton.

What Susu's Hubby says about that is true. Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath. But he lied about something that had nothing to do with governing the country, endangering the county, or getting the country involved in an illegal war. His sexual peccadilloes were something that should have been kept strictly between the people directly involved. It should never have been brought up in the first place, and it never would have been had it not been that Monica was a blabbermouth, Linda Tripp was an opportunistic gossip and a damned poor friend to Monica, and the Right Wing character assassins were just waiting for something—anything—to use against the Clintons. They were desperate for something because the Whitewater thing had gon south on them. It turned out that rather than cheating people as the Righties claimed, the Cllntons lost $60,000 on what turned out to be a bum real estate deal—they got scammed themselves. Clinton was a damned fool on a couple of counts: he should have kept his fly zipped in the first place, and after the fact, when the Righties started their feeding-frenzy, he should have refused to answer anything about it, saying that his private life—as long as it didn't interfere with his job, which it didn't—was nobody's goddam business!

There's a very simple reason that people like Susu's Hubby keep bringing this up:   It's all they've got!
