Yep and your party got Bin Laden....right?

Oh wait, they haven't, and they started a war with an entirely unrelated country.

Good work elephant.

In all fairness, the question the guy asked was very loaded. "Why didn't you do more to get Bin Laden while you were President?" is right up there with "When did you stop beating your wife?" for unfairness. "What did you do to get Bin Laden, and why weren't you sucessful" would have been fairer, I think.

Since marden is new to this board, though, I'll take the time to remind him that we have a rule that says that you should post your opinion on something when you start a thread here, not just quote somethign else and run. I have no clue whether or not marden agrees with this cartoon, since he did not tell us!

I've watched the interview and i really don't understand what all this fuzz is about. I think it's pretty unfair to put the blame on Clinton.

Better to focus on Clinton's attitude towards the interviewer than what he actually said.

Except that what he actually said was discussed at length, debunked and refuted by the right. Where were you?

No, it's pretty unfair to put all the blame on Bush and give Clinton's failings a pass.

What was refuted? Who are these mysterious 'right'? Sounds like they're more wrong than right to me.

He's not aberdeenwriter. abe would have misinterpreted the cartoon, then insisted everyone else was wrong and his interpretation was right.

Uhm, i don't put all the blame on Bush and i agree that all the anti-Bush stuff is getting way over the top but how does this silly interview put any of that into the right perspective?

Only the "2006/1996" cartoon was actually funny.

Wow this thread turned into another "Marden is this person" whine.

Might have to come up with a new graphic for that.
