Clinton

 

[ManaByte]

I wonder how many times he whipped out the Arkansas Anaconda?

He just gave Kim Jong Il a lifetime all access pass to his private harem.

More like nuclear secrets

[Akala]

I wonder how many times he whipped out the Arkansas Anaconda?

There has never been a need to whip it out twice.

[Dickie Dee]

If anyone has pull at any newspapers I want at least one headline to read:

"Bill Clinton Gets Two Female Reporters Off"

Paging the NY Post

[ToxicAdam]

Bill traded nudes of Janet Reno. Kim Jong rolls like that.

[Diunx]

The orginal American president!

[archie4208]

Our first black president gets the job done.

[Bloodwake]

Clinton FTW

[GilloD]

Haha. distinguished mentally-challenged fellows on Free Republic are saying ZOMG OBAMA ADMIN NEGOTIOATES WITH TERRORRORORORORORORORISTSTSTSTS

Some of them are ignoring that it happened and just focusing on, "LOOK OUT REPORTERS, BUBBA WILL RAPE YOU *he got a blowjob*"

[Cormacaroni]

The dude is bucking for his wife's job, i think. Great result.

He also did a bang-up job of getting the Northern Ireland peace process back on track, for which he earned my undying respect.

[Joe Molotov]

This is the guy republicans tried to impeach right?

Filthy librul indeed.

He released those two criminals back on to the streets, definitely a liberal.

[Bocsius]

It was the least he could do since it was his veep that got them pinched in the first place.

But you know who would have resolved this dispute long ago?

Doug Masters.

[Great Rumbler]

But you know who would have resolved this dispute long ago?

Doug Masters.

You just lost a refinery!

[Bocsius]

Give the kid a F-16 and some rock & roll, and stay out of his way.

[Tauntaun]

Bill Clinton whatever, I just want to suck wine out of cohen's belly button!   

[Oblivion]

this almost makes up for the fact that he passed up the chance to capture bin laden

[E-DuB]

I wonder how many times he whipped out the Arkansas Anaconda?

Once, when he whipped it out at the bargaining table.
The meeting lasted another four minutes with Il Jong eventually conceding to all of Clinton's requests.

My mom just told me she overheard a women at her gym talk about this, complaining about the following things:

1) "Why is he doing his wife's job???  Just goes to show how much this administration is failing."
2) "What's that journalist doing over there in the first place with a four year old child here?  What a terrible mother."
3) "I betcha anything it was my tax dollars that paid for that plane to fly over there for him to do this nonsense.

jesus christ

[Crushed]

holy shit these people

Oy vey!

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

If this was Jimmy Carter or George I getting the job done nobody would be batting an eyelash.

[Mandark]

Don't kid yourself.  Republicans would lose their shit if Carter did this.

[TakingBackSunday]

I'd much rather make him less than pissy at the moment so we can have two American parents back in the country, the way they should be.  Dickwad.

[Phoenix Dark]

I bet Bill banged both of them

[Phoenix Dark]

I just saw the video today tho

bush must be spinning in his grave

[Flannel Boy]

If paying tribute to him results in not the death of millions of North Koreans I'm perfectly ok with that.

Arvie couldn't have phrased that any worse. 

[Barry Egan]

I know right? Why don't you just exercise your liberty citizens of North Korea you helpless fucks.

[AdmiralViscen]

 If the people of North Korea want to not live in a shitty third world hellhole, I suggest they look to a model other than communist dictatorship and make that happen.

Even Americans haven't done that! they've had 8 months!

[Flannel Boy]

Yup, only a wall would consider it to be less than ideal for our leaders to give out the product of everyone's labor to some completely non-threatening individual that's trying to coerce them.

Why, it's wholly rational to do so, even.  Silly walls.

Of course it's less than ideal, but most of us realize that the ideal is often unattainable and we must choose a bad option over a worse one. You refuse to make such unhappy choices and instead retreat to libertopia, an island where people and nations are never interdependent, an island where you can simply ignore a problem and hope that someone else handles it.

[Flannel Boy]

What is so unattainable about ignoring Kim Jong Il?  It's a pretty simple thing to do, actually.

Obviously countries can ignore him, but countries can't expect to ignore him and prevent his people from starving.

For that matter, how is ignoring him worse?  Or, what needs to be "handled?"

Ignoring him is worse because without aid, North Koreans will die, that is, unless they "look to a model other than communist dictatorship and make that happen." Because that is very realistic.

[Oblivion]

Mass starvation?

Meh, they can walk it off.

[Dickie Dee]

Holy Fuck you're a tool JayDubya

[Flannel Boy]

Uh-huh?  As an autocrat, that's his responsibility.

He's indifferent to the suffering of his own people, so we can't be.

Revolutions don't happen?  Well, they're certainly less likely when you continue to prop up the impotent and incompetent current regime with aid, so maybe you're right, it's not realistic to hope for that as long as we keep doing our part to prevent that.

Is there any reason to expect a revolution in a place that resembles 1984's Oceania. The people are completely oppressed and they lack an educated, semi-wealthy middle class that can actually organize a revolution.

[Barry Egan]

blah blah blah blah blah

All of us in Tokyo would quite like not to have a nuclear warhead dropped on our heads thank you very much.

[demi]

He's not even asian either. You simply chose... poorly.

[Cormacaroni]

yeah, but you guys are not america and thus have nothing to do with our island nation in any way, shape, or form.

Actually, you americans are the only thing preventing it (the military base in Okinawa).

[Flannel Boy]

Uh-huh?  As an autocrat, that's his responsibility.

He's indifferent to the suffering of his own people, so we can't be.

And that's why we give him money and oil?  

I can't quite figure out how the topic of moral responsibility is furthered by impeaching the motives of politicians.

[Cormacaroni]

ah, the foot-thick cladding of irony in every post...i've missed you Genghis

[Flannel Boy]

Which is or is not a byproduct of said Americans forbidding Japan from having a normal military?

Japan continues to spend more on its military than all but a handful of countries.

[Cormacaroni]

Actually, you americans are the only thing preventing it (the military base in Okinawa).

Which is or is not a byproduct of said Americans forbidding Japan from having a normal military?  It's just not neccessary for us to still have bases in Japan sixty four years later.  It's also expensive.

Hmm, have you ever played Risk? It might illuminate the advantages of having your army in a solid strategic position, rather than on the other side of the world. Your armies are expensive wherever the hell they are btw.

I think you mean 'Self Defense Force' 

[Cormacaroni]

Is it any wonder Kim Jong Il coughed up the booty? He just wants a ride in a giant Gundam before he kicks the bucket.

Risk is a world domination game...

...

Yeah, I'll let you stew about that one a second and get back to me.

Which is the world's dominant superpower? Hmm

[Cormacaroni]

lordy, you have exposed Risk as a less-than-perfect simulacrum of the global economic and political ecosystem. You're rollin' now kiddo.

I take it you're conceding the point that the base in Okinawa has served America's interests admirably over the years by giving it a handy post from which to lob nukes at Vietnam, North Korea, China...? Or are you impenetrably thick.

[Cormacaroni]

"Interests" maybe, but not so much "defense."

Gee, what country near Japan has invaded America...I know, JAPAN

[Cormacaroni]

Waitaminnit, are you one of those people who thinks a weapon is only demonstrably useful if you've shot and killed someone with it recently? 

[Cormacaroni]

Fine. Neither am I.

I also don't have life insurance, but I can see why life insurance is a good investment. Small outlay, potential big payoff when it's needed. The base in Okinawa has been, by the simple measure of continued defence of US interests, a solid investment for the US and a huge, fantastic, wonderful WHOPPER of a deal for Japan.

[Phoenix Dark]

JayDubya is just Mandark's troll account, stop responding

[AdmiralViscen]

I take issue with the concept of life insurance. How would I even collect it?!! Money pit

[Mr. Gundam]

Don't we all?

Wait, that's just me.

 

[Dickie Dee]

Hillary ethers John Bolton

[chronovore]

I ethered Michael Bolton.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Do you know what a Jehova Complex is, Jaydubya?  One example is when you think the world needs to subscribe to your own 'moral code' and it would be considered 'unethical' to act  otherwise.  Its one of the biggest inticators of a neurotic with irrational expectations.
