"Paula Jones Has Modest Place in History "
Paula Jones Has Modest Place in History

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Ten years ago this week, a lawsuit was filed that poisoned a presidency. When Paula Jones sued Bill Clinton on May 6, 1994, alleging sexual harassment, she touched off a blizzard of events that made Monica Lewinsky a national figure and led to the first presidential impeachment since 1868.

Jones accused a sitting president of exposing himself and making indecent propositions in a Little Rock hotel while Jones was a state worker and Clinton was the governor. Jones also alleged that her career suffered after she rejected Clinton's advances. Clinton denied the allegations.

The damage was bad enough when it involved only Jones.

Then the Lewinsky issue exploded when Clinton was asked about the White House intern during questioning in the Jones suit. Clinton gave evasive and misleading testimony under oath and publicly denied having sexual relations with ``that woman,'' only to be forced into a humiliating reversal. He was impeached and then acquitted in a 1999 trial. Jones quickly faded into the background. Today, attorneys still debate her legacy.

1. I hope someone announces the anniversary of the day that the
FBI held Monica at a hotel until after 5PM.

for what they did as individuals academically, parentally, vocationally, etc., not whom they did or did not have sex with. Sigh.

3. That afternoon wasn't about Monica, it was about the FBI working for
the right wing.

4. Gotta love that Bushevik-controlled and parsitized AP!
:puke: :puke:

I wonder if the Highest-Up AP Mockingbird receives daily calls from Uncle Karl.

Clearly, AP (for this and MANY other reasons) has been successfully targeted and parasitized by the Imperial Family Loyalists.

So, the goddamned 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor was scacely mentioned on Corporate TV Pravda and the Bushevik Party-Loyal Sub-Media, but the 10th anniversary of the RICO-violating Arkansas Project and all it's subset projects it spawned (some we know about, some we don't) is worthy of a nonsensicalk "examination" which even still and to this day doesn;t mention the unlawful conspiracies to defraud and collude to crate the phony "scandal".

What's even funniest is this gem of an irony-meter-pegging line

``What the unanimous Supreme Court decision has underscored is that we are all equal before the bar of justice,'' Washington lawyer Joseph Cammarata said.

naturally, that was an odious Bushevik lie, and it would not surprise me in THE LEAST to find out that this Mockingbird sought another Bushevik Loyalist to get his crazy-ironic quote from.

Because, Imperial Amerika is now ALL ABOUT aristocracy, privilege, and two sets of laws. Actually only one because it is quite clear the Busheviks are bound by NO LAW AT ALL.

Enough to make you laugh until you throw up on a Bushevik Mockingbird and his Bushevik Editorial Plant, too.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

5. Never thought I'd read "Modest and Paula Jones"
in the same sentence. :)
