Reply #29: Bill Clinton's law? Not quite. Try PHIL GRAMM.

[Dogmudgeon]

The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramm-Leach-Bliley_Act">Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act.

Phil Gramm's bill.

Yet MyLeftWing only mentions Gramm ONCE. And never mentions the name of the bill AT ALL.

It's like writing a history of the 60s and mentioning The Beatles only once.

This was a Republican initiative. Clinton signed it when it had passed by a veto-proof majority -- then bragged about how it was HIS bill.

The Republicans went apeshit. Ballistic. Nuclear. They howled. Cursed him. Cursed Hillary, and Chelsea, and Socks the Cat. It was on TV.

So in a way, yes, it was "his bill". Think about how the Obama supporters boil over when Hillary "steals" one of his lines to tweak him. Multiply that by a thousand, and that's what you had. It was on TV.

Most of those bills you like to tie around Clinton's neck are like that -- especially the Welfare bill that everyone brings up. Newt's face was CRIMSON when he was interviewed over that one. You forget how Bill kicked the GOP in the balls, repeatedly. Instead, you believe bourgeois Trotskyite-wannabes who tell you that Clinton was "the best Republican president we've had". And you believe it because it makes you feel clever.

Put that in next to "not a nickel's worth of difference".

So instead of looking into this, you took an angry, gullible blogger's word for it, and she took Robert Kuttner's word for it (though he only gets ONE mention).

It's another smear-Clinton screed from -- this one the left instead of the right.
