Ice "personally believes" that Clinton committed crimes. He has no evidence of it, but he believes it. Why? Based on what? Not on evidence. Sounds to me like irrational hatred.
The Republicans spent the entirety of the Clinton term trying to nail him for crimes. They came up with zippo except for lying about a blowjob. Headlines, day in and day out, were all about how Clinton was being charged with x, y, and z. They were all false. Every one of them a trumped up charge.
Rhound said Bush has been the worst president ever. I don't know if that's true, but only because I haven't studied much American history. He is definitely the worst president in my lifetime. If you're really interested in how I, and millions of other people, have come to that conclusion, I can try to explain it to you. Let me know if you're interested.
Blaming Clinton for the 9/11 attacks ... wow. I mean, I had heard that there were Republicans who believed this, but it's hard to imagine. Read Richard Clarke's book. Richard Clarke knows more about al Qaeda than anybody else on the planet. According to Clarke, the Clinton administration was all over al Qaeda. They were interested, engaged, and working on it full time. Bush came in and had no interest in it at all. He immediately demoted Clarke's position away from having direct access to the Oval Office. He just wasn't interested in trying to stop terrorism. "Bin Laden determined to strike inside US" -- remember that? Came on Bush's watch. Bush IMMEDIATELY goes on vacation. I mean, the very next day. Bush's response to the guy who gives him the briefing, in person: "OK, you've covered your ass." He takes no further action. Again, he goes on vacation. He did not even try to prevent it.

BTW, just because people have asked: I used to be a professor. (And a damned good one, if I do say so myself. Although my students said the same. I was the most popular teacher in my department, despite the fact that I graded harder than average.) I no longer am a teacher of any sort.
