Clinton: That was"before white Southerners knew that God was a Republican"

[Rose Siding]

Clinton's first public appearance since undergoing surgery three weeks ago in New York was slightly ahead of the four- to six-week time table doctors had said he would need at home.

The 42nd president was given a humanitarian award named after the 39th president and his wife, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. In nominating Clinton for the honor, Carter singled out Clinton's work brokering deals to supply AIDS drugs at lower prices to Third World countries.

Clinton, 58, jokingly reminded the crowd he had worked on Carter's presidential campaign, "before white Southerners knew that God was a Republican."

He also took a swipe at the White House's proposed cut of all Amtrak subsidies, saying, "That's about the same amount as my personal tax cut over the last four years."

8. and all republicans could criticize about him was his penis

Clinton could get a blowjob AND take a business phone call.

Bush would have difficulty doing either separately, let alone combined.

The worst we had to worry about was fellatio.

even though Amtrak is vital to one of the cities in his state.

14. Zero Federal money for comutters - meaning Amtrack dead.

You can still ship yourself as frieght each morning, however.

Expected to a Reagan type cut (where Reagan talks cut in budget - then endorses a bill with no cut - and then signs bill claiming victory, and then blaims Dems for overspending when it was GOP Controlled Senate that increased the amount beyond what the Dem controlled House had passed).
