He's just calling Lewinsky and Hillary fat constantly. Asshole.

"Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would. Especially... for the women."

It's intriguing and fun to laugh at when a family-values politician does it, but Letterman is just a comedian. He's paid to make fun of people. It doesn't necessarily make it hypocritical.
My official reaction? Meh.

Yeah. Stealing cars is wrong, but it's not like it doesn't happen. Yeah. Abusing puppies is wrong, but it's not like it doesn't happen. Yeah....on and on
Seriously?
He's officially a creepy old man.

If anyone thinks that *doesn't* describe the Republicans, and hasn't *always* described the Republicans going back at least to the days of Nixon, then I don't know what word does describe them.
And the only thing that keeps the Democrats from having a "vast left-wing conspiracy" is that they're so inept at working together.

The relentless drumbeat of whispers and "people say" is something I've been dreading about having a Democratic administration. The open-ended investigation of the Clintons lasted nearly his entire presidency and was nothing more than a politically-motivated game of gotcha. The investigations started with Whitewater, then morphed to failed S&L, a defunct law firm, Vince Foster, travel office, Paula Jones, an ultimately Monica. All along Starr was given endless funding and an open book on the Clinton's personal lives. Six years and $40 million taxpayer dollars later all he had was a blue Gap dress.
When I get depressed about politics, I re-watch Frontline's documentary on Watergate. Watching Nixon actively obstruct justice, tamper with evidence, attempt to fire the special prosecutor (Saturday Night Massacre), pay off CIA-goons with unlimited and unrecorded campaign funds, and have an executive privilege stand-off with the Congress and effectively negate the Constitution really puts bullshit like "the birthers" into perspective.

Gregory is a smirking chimp. Clinton was a fine President who left the country a better place than he found it. Belonsky is a person writing things on the Internet, relaying right-wing talking points for Gawker. Because of course, we revere our elders, and whatever a former president says is always bad news for the Democrats, whatever it is.
Uh, the very existence of the endless rightwing attack dogs as profiled on the front of the NYT yesterday, and the very nonstop virulent wackness funded by conservative sources, relayed and echoed on the internet, FOX pumping venom onto the media discourse relentlessly..
Oh yeah, Clinton is the crazy one. There aren't vast resources looking to destroy Obama, there isn't a 24-hour cable channel hating him nonstop. There isn't an array of corporate forces arrayed against health care reform lest their billions evaporate.
Yeah, Clinton is crazy to say that there's a right wing conspiracy to destroy initiatives like they almost destroyed him. That there are powerful forces out to destroy Obama, and his attempts to change the status quo- where the middle class is strapped to hell by health care costs alone.
Yeah, how crazy Clinton is to speak of the fucking truth- corporations have been squeezing the fucking life out of this country, they did try to destroy him, and Obama is their next target to bring down.
How in the fuck is Clinton speaking his mind going to make it worse for the Democrats? Above and beyond the relentless efforts of Obama's enemies, where they've already entertained whether he's the Antichrist?
Everything is always bad for Democrats, people. Always. And everything is always spun as great for Republicans. No matter what it is.
