As America's greatest President said, "There they go again." Awash in a sea of irrelevance and suffering from an inferiority complex bigger than his wife's ambitions, Bill Clinton has been compelled to stage an event to advertise his "significance." One wonders if like America's worst President, Jimmy Carter the midwife of today's Islamic imperialism, Clinton we'll be out on the huckstings praising Muslim terrorists, making nuclear deals with megalomaniacal dictators and endorsing Latin American despot's to burnish his trivial legacy? Reality tells me no matter how undignified Clinton must become, he'll continue trying to rewrite the history of his failed Presidency (in two Presidential elections he never garnered a majority of the popular vote) to event the elusive legacy his shallow ego demands. Why isn't he content with a stained blue dress, impeachment and 9/11? How big or small is his "ego"?

What's he compensating for?

p>Hopefully, his less than personable and churlish wife will win the Democrat nomination and lead the Copperheads to ruin. Then, just maybe his media sycophants and aging liberal groupies will bury the overblown Clinton mystique in the sewers of history. br> -- Michael Tomlinson br> Jacksonville, North Carolina /p>

This essay crystallizes all the we know about King Bubba the First.

My wife, an ardent Republican, used to tell me that Bubba is just "a very ordinary person." She said he reflects his background, which is one of poverty; drugs and alcohol; and a longing to be important.

I would add one other aspect of the Clinton political journey. Bubba was the first President who sought the office to become rich. He and his wife capitalized on every aspect of money making from the Presidency they could think of.

He sold the Communist Chinese our most advanced super-computers. They have paid him for that many times over and continue to front huge money for his wife's campaign. He permitted the Japanese to sell the secret design of submarine propellers which gave us the silent edge over the Soviets. The Japanese repay him to the tune of a million or so a year for his speech making.

He opened the White House Motel (One also presumes, in view of his nocturnal trysts, that it was "The No-tell White House Motel.") renting rooms to political donors if they had attractive wives.

p>This a real American entrepreneur. A slippery and slimy one, but an entrepreneur nonetheless. br> -- Jay Molyneaux
