President Clinton's trustworthiness

Remember when a federal judge cited President Clinton for civil contempt and fined him $90,000 for giving "intentionally false" testimony under oath?

Do you recall that the bar association in Clinton’s home state, Arkansas, investigated him further; and then recommended to its state Supreme Court his disbarment?

The Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed its bar association’s recommendation, and so informed the United States Supreme Court.

Thus it was that on October 1, 2001, without dissent and for the first time in the nation’s history, the Supreme Court acted to disbar a former President.

The court’s disbarment procedure allowed for a 40-day appeal period.

Clinton assured friends and foes that he would appeal and vigorously fight his disbarment.

Of course, Clinton did neither which was just what friends and foes expected.

Now, Clinton is using Katrina and its aftermath to attack President Bush.

Do you think what Clinton’s saying now is any more trustworthy than what he’s said in the past?

I don't.

I did not have a hurricane with that woman!

Get it, hurricane is a drink and a storm, and they're named after women, and, well, never mind.
