-Caveat Lector- Clinton and Democrats Are Shameless Neal Boortz Thursday, Jan. 11, 2001 Several of the newspapers I went through today tell of the absolute joy within Democratic ranks over their Borking of Bush labor secretary appointee Linda Chavez. Party leaders were heard boasting that "Ashcroft is next!" As long as the media remain on their side and the Republicans show no fight, these Democrats are going to roll over every Bush appointment and policy objective that shows the slightest blemish or crack - all while calling on Republicans to be bipartisan. In an even more despicable display of Democratic politics, President Clinton attacked the legitimacy of his successor, George W. Bush. At an appearance in Chicago yesterday, Clinton - speaking of the 2000 presidential election - said: "By the time it was over, our candidate had won the popular vote, and the only way they [the Republicans] could win the election was to stop the voting [sic] in Florida." So, there you go. Clinton acting like the partisan ass he has always been. Throughout the long history of this country there has been a lasting tradition of presidents leaving office treating incoming presidents with nothing less than grace and dignity. President George Bush, the President-elect's father, showed this courtesy to Clinton. Apparently the tradition ends with the sociopath who currently occupies the White House. Here he is, 10 days before he leaves office, challenging the very legitimacy of the man who will succeed him. It was a crass political act. Of course, that means it was totally in character for Clinton. And his little jab was, of course, factually wrong. George W. Bush won the election in Florida by getting the most votes under the rules that were in place on the day those votes were cast. The Democrats, on the other hand, tried to steal the election by changing the rules by which people cast their votes and the way those votes are legally counted. The Supreme Court of the United States found this approach to be illegal and put it to a halt. Skirting the lawful, accepted way of governing is Clinton's style, as noted by his secretary of the interior, Bruce Babbit, yesterday. Babbit blabbed about the incredible job that he and Clinton have done in protecting natural treasures. He said he and Clinton accomplished, through executive orders and regulations, 80 percent of what they had not accomplished through legislation. He then warned Bush to tread very carefully in undoing what Clinton has done, because the actions have such broad public support. You're the public. Do you think that rule by executive fiat is all that hot an idea? The Clinton plan was very simple. If you can't use the legislative process - the legal process - to accomplish a goal, then just accomplish that goal by executive order or issuing a new regulation. This is most certainly NOT the way our founding fathers thought the federal government should operate, as if Clinton gives a damn what our founding fathers thought. Now they're warning the Republicans of dire consequences if they try to return to the concept of rule by law! Still, the Clinton charisma continues to charm poll participants. A new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll shows that the majority of Americans - 51 percent - are glad Bill Clinton is leaving office, although 45 percent said they will miss him. And 55 percent think Bill Clinton still has something "worthwhile" to contribute and should remain active in public life. Forty-seven percent said Clinton would go down in history as an outstanding or above-average president. But 68 percent said he would be remembered more for his scandals than for his accomplishments. And 58 percent answered "no" when asked whether Bill Clinton was honest and trustworthy. How does this man muck around with our personal freedoms, increase the size and intrusiveness of our federal government, weaken our national defenses, and still get a 55 percent job approval rating at the end of his term? How can people look at the train wreck of this scandal-plagued White House and want Bill Clinton back in public life after he's left office? Are that many Americans truly that blind?
