Does a hobby-horse have a wooden dick?
When it became clear that Starr couldn't come up with enough dirt on Clinton in the Whitewater case to charge him with so much as a parking ticket, and Starr's golden parachute to Pepperdine was snatched away, he started delving into Clinton's sex life. Why? In the hopes that they would find something embarassing and effectively blackmail him from office.
That's why they floated the rumor that Clinton had a 13-year-old love child with a black crack whore. That's why they tried to get Monica Lewinsky to wear a wire and visit Clinton again (this was after they stopped seeing each other, which makes Starr and his henchmen pretty sick fucks). The even demanded that Clinton prove his dick wasn't bent like a candycane.
That's why they used some incredibly thuggish tactics against Julie Hyatt Steele (threatening to take away the baby she adopted), Susan McDougal and others to either claim they were fucking Clinton or to corroborate others who did. Why? Blowjobs are legal in most of the country -including the District. Adultery hasn't been prosecuted as a criminal matter in decades; it's been considered a civil matter and grounds for divorce instead.
They went sniffing Clinton's sheets and inspecting his jockey shorts to try to come up with enough dirt to embarass him and run him out of office. If you remember the news channels during the
grand peur, Republicans kept hinting that there was worse stuff in Starr's files and called on Clinton to resign. This was an obvious and inept attempt at blackmail. What they forgot was that Clinton was a man with no shame whatsoever. He called their bluff, saying there was no way in hell he was quitting.
They impeached him, their case was laughed out of the Republican Senate, where the GOP couldn't even get a simple majority, let alone a two-thirds vote, and a few of those who led the attack on Clinton (like Henry "the Homewrecker" Hyde) were exposed by Larry Flint, Salon and others. The whole impeachment farce was just a way for the loony Right to save face because Clinton (emulating Brer Rabbit) called their bluff when they tried to blackmail him.
What was even nastier was what happened afterward. The House Republicans (and their agitprop arm at places like Fox News) then started reaching into the shitpile even deeper than Starr was willing to go. They brought out Juanita Broaddrick to tell eveyone that she had been raped by Clinton, in spite of the fact that she had denied under oath that any such thing ever happened. The howl-at-the-moon Right (including Matt Sludge) even hounded NBC News into running an interview with Broaddrick. The nuts even claimed that Clinton had raped other women.
Why would they do this? The answer comes from Clinton's first term. The extreme Right was livid that Clinton had beaten Bush so badly. So they called him a coke dealer, murderer and crook and circulated a videotape accusing him of stringing out a 15-year-old girl on coke and implied that he was fucking her. After The Clinton Chronicles, The American Spectator and other skinhead outlets started a barrage of libel against Clinton, there were three well-publicized assassination attempts.
One Limbaugh fan (Francisco Duran) fired a rifle through the White House fence at a man he thought was Clinton. Another (Frank Eugene Corder) did a kamikaze attack on the White House in a two-seater plane. And dittohead Ronald Gene Barber was arrested by the police and secret service after stalking Clinton with a .45 pistol as Clinton went jogging. He also tried to ambush Clinton in Washington, D.C.. Barber was a huge dittohead who boasted that he would kill Clinton if he ever got the chance.
What the lunatic Right were hoping for was some unbalanced nutball who would take their bullshit seriously and act on it by killing the President. Think I'm exaggerating? Then why did two popular anti-Clinton bumper stickers read as follows?:
Ready, Aim, FIRE CLINTON!
and
Where's Oswald when we need him?
Jesse "The Hutt" Helms even threatened Clinton before he visited Fort Bragg, saying he had better bring his bodyguards.
But of course Kerry is oh so vicious for calling hecklers "goons" - a apocryphal story from a disreputable slime machine. "Apocryphal" is Latin (or Greek?) for "unbelievable horseshit".
