What I Believe - Scandals of President Clinton's Era! (Poem)
What I Believe – An average American
Today I answered the question ‘What is your favorite quote? By cjarosz’ and the first quote that came to mind was by Gerry Spence “We hate most in others what we see in ourselves,” and brought to mind this poem I wrote in 1998.

Whitewater Scandal was a wash
File-gate and Travel-gate both a dud
When you come right down to it
Kenneth Starr was only slinging mud
For years, he’s tried
To bring President Clinton down
But all he could come up with
Is a dirty evening gown
Travel gate and file gate both are now closed
At least that is how the story goes
And the gates of hell have opened wide and,
A smiling, dimpled Starr stepped outside
As hell’s gates opened
They also let the devil’s angels out
And if you don’t believe me,
Just see what the talk shows talk about
A former federal prosecutor named Whitney
Called the President a weasel
Then grinned a lopsided grin
With one eye to her hairline, the other one to her chin
When Gerry Spence, softly Spoke
One of his most famous quotes
“We hate most in others what we see in ourselves”
I really thought that Whitney was going to choke
One airhead on another talk show said:
Kleen-ton ees a liar and he should be m-peeched”
And even though she knew, when she said
What she is saying is not political, Makes her a liar too
Would you just ask the airhead
Next time she is on your show
Is it what the President did? Or did not do
That makes her hate him so?
This conspiracy has got to stop
It’s really getting old
Kenneth Starr is much worse by far
Than any lie that President Clinton ever told
Republicans all screaming “IMPEACH”
But they haven't got a clue
What Starr is doing to President Clinton
He could be doing to me or you
Starr will besmirch our names
And drag them in the dirt
Cause he does not care who he brings down
As long as Clinton hurts
All Starr’s advocates,
Who want to bring the President to ground?
Were, hanging all their hopes and dreams
On Monica’s dirty evening gown
Monica Lewinski saved the evidence for profit or for fun
Then went to see a publisher on the run
The publisher said “I am so sorry!”
“You already fired your smoking gun
Monica gave her dirty dress to Kenneth Starr
While he was digging up more dirt
Then said with his dimpled grin
“Not between his eyes, but, between his thighs,”
“I’ll hit Mr. Clinton where it will hurt
Does devil walks among us in the form of Kenneth Starr?
And is he here to bring about our end
By taking away our jobs, our homes, our cars
So be very careful what you say or do
The mud that Starr is slinging
Will get all over you.
Kenneth Starr’s crime is treason
And to discredit you or a President he will hunt you down
Even if he has to fabricate a dirty evening gown
He does not need a reason
Except that he will be paid
By anyone who hates our President
Or by Richard Mellon-Scaife
Up-date: What became of Kenneth Starr?
What became of Kenneth Starr?
Let me give you a subtle hint and bring you up to date
What Kenneth Starr was blaming on our President
For the good-ol' boys of Baylor, he now advocates
Monica's dirty evening gown
Does anyone believe that a woman would save a soiled gown, and give that information out as proof of a dalliance with the President?
Now you know the quote that made me think of this Poem.
And this poem also reminds me of The Whitewater Scandal. The Whitewater Scandal - remindes me of Benghazi.
