From the Grave, Ford Calls Clinton 'Sex Addict'

Accidental President Gerald Ford, in a courageous new tell-all called 'Write It When I'm Gone: Remarkable Off-the-Record Conversations with Gerald R. Ford,"

When you have a book published posthumously, it hardly seems "courageous". But, I guess editorializing there helps sell the point.

I do think Ford is correct about his comments regarding Bill Clinton and most of what he says about Sen. Hillary Clinton. His comment: "I don't think the country is ready for a lady President," he said...may be just generational, as my father (77 years old) did not think it possible until this election cycle.

I liked Bill Clinton as President and I was under no illusion that he was perfect or should have ever been expected to be. For some reason people seem to expect leaders to be without flaws...yet they are human beings. I don't think I would trust someone who appeared to be perfect again after my experience with Colin Powell. The bigger question is whether they can lead this country or not?

I think Sen. Hillary Clinton is best suited for the job at hand. I take comfort in the fact she has already been scrutinized to death. And, yes I agree with Ford's comment: "She's stronger and tougher than he is." I also believe she is much more intelligent than Bill is/was.

I wish her the best of luck and she certainly has my vote.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Mr. Clark

I did't like Bill Clinton as a cheating husband but give him high marks as a good president. At least he didn't screw the American people , different than thses so called evangelical hypocrits like Bush & Cheney

LG: Since when are Bush and Cheney EVANGELICALS? They're NOT, and it's quite obvious that you really don't know what an Evangelical is. Have you ever even MET one? I can assure you that Bush and Cheney are NOT.

Yes, Billy is, indeed, a sex addict. I find it really amusing that Hillary wants to send him all over the world as an "ambassador" (is that what they call an sex-crazed narcissist?) while she wants to stay and run the W.H....I guess it's a "win-win" for both of them -- she gets to have the W.H. all to herself, and he gets to grope and seduce his way across the world w/out anyone caring!

Bill Clinton's greatest failing is not his inability to honor his marriage vows. Instead, the Clinton's share a failing more fundamental to the office he had and the one she seeks. Neither understands the value of truth. Each understands the nature of the bully pulpit and is willing to say anything and mean nothing if it helps bring them power. After all, both believe their own press clippings about how wonderful they are. When you are this important, what does a lie here, there and everywhere mean? Sadly, public servants they are not. Leaders they are not. Being in a position of leadership does not mean being a leader. A true leader obtains that mantle with honor, not gile. So to Bill I say...enjoy the sex. But please, just go away. Oh, and take Hillary with you.

ABC123 You might be right. Mr. Bush just says he's aborn again christian, Mr.Cheney as far as I know is not. But unfortunately , they conned the born again christians with all their hypocracy. And yes, I used to go to an Evangelical church & was disappointed to know my donation was being used for politics. The churches are not God & actually should stay out of any politics, here in the States or anywhere else., especially in Saudi Arabia where they are the worst bigots of any moslem country.

No man should ever be considered perfect,but if you are going to hold public office for a period of time you are asking for and accepting a position of trust and if you are so weak you can't do that then you have no trust and should be thrown out of office. Its kind of like your father used to say. "If you can learn in school you can at least keep your mouth shut while you are there. You can believe what you want, I am no republican, but I gave up my party when the Clinton's came out of the woodworks and has made mockery of our country. I am waiting for one more democratic leader to come along. Where he or she is I don't know.

Well he's the ex-President who cares what he's doing now. You couldnt' catch him when he was in office so now your going to to follow him and spy on him 8 years after he's out of office. Give the old man a break, if he can find some hot short skirts that want to crawl in the sack with him then damn send him some viagra and let him get at it. Hell when I'm that old if I got some hot babes aftr me you better believe I'm goign to jump on it, give me some blue pills....

Bill Clinton was this coutnries worst. Thank goodness he was replaced by President Bush so that honesty was restored to our countries highest office.

The Clinton clan walked off there last AirForce One flight with anything that had to do with them. Each President before mearly went around and thanked the staff before departing the plane for the last time. We don't need their type in office again.
