clinton said it's still alive. >> yeah. >> okay. he said it's not as strong as it was because america's changed demographically but it's as virulent as it was. what do you think about all that? is there really a right wing conspiracy in this country? >> i think it's an open conspiracy. it's common knowledge that think tanks and publishers on the right will buy ann coulter's book to get it on the best-seller list and fund films that say bill and hillary killed vincent foster and get in bed so to speak with the religious right and demonize the left. from day one they hated clinton and tried everything they could do to destroy him. if it's a conspiracy it's an open conspiracy. >> so do you think there's a conspiracy against obama now? >> well, it's not a conspiracy. it's on television every day. this is semantics. there's -- they have -- the right wing has a common interest which is to destroy obama and put their party before their country. that's what they have chosen to do, and i think the cat south of the bag now. we see, you know,

h but this last september, bill clinton said it's still alive. it's not as strong because america has changed demographically, but as virulent as it was. is there really a right wing conspiracy in this country? >> i think it's open conspiracy. it's common knowledge that think tanks and the publishers on the right will buy ann coulter's list to get it on the best sellers list. they'll get in bed with so to speak with the religious right and demonize the left. it's clear -- i mean, from day one, they hated clinton and they tried everything they could do to destroy him. it's -- if it's a conspiracy, it's an open conspiracy. >> so do you think there's a conspiracy against obama now? >> well -- it's not a conspiracy. it's a -- on television every day. this is semantics. there's -- the right wing has a common interest which is to destroy obama and put their party before their country. that's what they've chosen to do. and i think the cat's out of the bag now. we see everyone cheering, we don't get the olympics and demeanoring the nobel prize. >> so un-

clinton. >> now we have to wait and see how quickly and whether iran responds and i think it was a productive day but the proof of that has not yet come to fruition. so we will wait and continue to press our point of view and see what iran decides to do. >> again, we are waiting for president obama to address this issue in the diplomatic room at the white house. it has been nearly 30 years since the united states and iran have held direct talks so this is a day of dramatic developments, both in terms of u.s. national security but also regarding u.s. domestic politics. when it comes to security, iran's belated disclosure of another nuclear facility and iran's apparent interest in processing uranium lead lead to deep international concerns the past week. strong condemnations from great britain, france, germany and russia and a growing call for stiff sanctions on iran. plight clirk the obama administration has been criticized repeatedly by republicans for seeking to engaging in direct talks with

>> well, i mean, i would just say that this is a policy put in place by bill clinton. this was a policy that takes into consideration a lot of the problems associated with having you know, gays in the military and this is-- was a compromise that was fully support bide president clinton and democrats in congress, and has actually worked very, very well. i don't know why-- other than to appease a special interest group, i really don't know why the president wants to change it. i mean, he said the same thing last night, also, about the defense of marriage act, which was another clinton era piece of legislation that was designed to make sure that states were not forced to recognize same sex unions from other states. this was a states rights issuement again, supported by bill clinton, supported by a majority of those in congress and the interesting thing is, he hasn't done any of this yet and i think the point is he hasn't done it because he's got bigger fish to fry right now than those two issues and he's trying to focus on health care and cap and trade and other things th

clinton had his health care of -- health care plan, it hung out there too long, giving people too much of a chance to pick it apart. so they wanted to push it through quickly, before it got picked apart. and it is too late now. it is passed the deadline. we have long past the deadline. people are engaged, they have our right to see this, and they do want to have a bill up on the internet that they can look at. the legislator should have time to read it. but i am not sure that that is going to happen. jon: pick it apart is one way to phrase it. find out what is in it is another way to phrase it. we're talking about a trillion dollar bill. >> the american people have a right to know. taxes will have to be raised. the cbo has told us that their bill will add not only to our annual budget, but also the deficit. the american people are scared. they do not know what is being proposed or how this is going to impact them. and democrats would be smart to lay it all before the american people and now only give them a chance to look at it but to be legislators a chance to look at it. jon: thank y

as karen said she was in the clinton administration, people on my side of the aisle accused bill clinton of being a murderer when vince foster committed suicide. you've seen it in the bush years where there was a movie produced called "the death of a president" that fantasized about the assassination of president bush. there was an article declaring bush's illegitimacy. this goes on on both sides. >> pictures of bush with the devil. we'll go all day with this. what strikes me, this is all these people know how to do, that they do not have the capability to solve a complicated problem in a simple way, either side. >> i think that may be true. the bigger problem is these voices have more platforms to communicate on than in the past. so when karen was dealing with clinton and the outrageous charges against clinton, the internet was not flying like it was, cable news isn't what it is. the blog sphere. i think there are many more platforms. >> go ahead. >> i was going to say dan is right thank god we didn't have the blog is sphere. we had enough during the clinton administration and a lot of

democrat bill clinton, famously battled to keep off the pounds. republican mike huckabee made his dramatic weight loss, 110 pounds, a campaign issue. and barack obama had to counter criticism he was too thin. >> i've said it before. i'm skinny. but i'm tough. >> reporter: even before corzine's ad, polls showed the voters were already questioning chris christie's fitness to serve. >> we asked our respondents to name the first word that comes to mind when they think of the candidates. and one of the top words for chris christie is fat. >> reporter: once they're elected, they may be fat cats. but cling anyone fat, could well come off as just, plain mean. for "good morning america," david wright, abc news, washington. >>> and that is the news at 8:05. on to sam champion, who has never once been called mean in his life. >> well, i don't know. i don't know. i think there are people who are write in right now and disagree. particularly my sister. >> okay. there's one. >> yeah. that's an important one. good morning, everybody. go ahead. show the science.

it looks like dave is going to regret all those bill clinton jokes. his chickens have come home to roost. this is kevin's comment. very poor moral judgment on his part, but most of us are guilty of poor moral judgment at one time or another. so he's choosing to reserve judgment. jennifer, jennifer was very frustrated. this is what jennifer wrote. i'm just tired of celebs and their stupid antics. they just need to get over themselves and get some morals. all right, jennifer. we very much appreciate your passion and taking the time to post your comments on my facebook page. we really do. let's get to some callers now. sarah is calling us from lawrenceville, illinois. all right, sarah, let 'er rip, go for it. >> caller: okay. i said that i was not at all surprised and the only thing i was shocked about was that any of his female staffers would even want to have sex with him. i think that he likes his notoriety. i think he thinks it will make the public believe he has something he definitely does not have, which is sex appeal to women. based on his jokes

and i think people are going to have a hard time when he does monologue jokes with the bill clintons and john edwards of the world. and someone's going to put together the jokes of the womanizing public figures. if david letterman becomes a punch line himself -- i don't think he's going to lose his job over there. but it undermines what he's trying to do out there as a performer. >> he's never had a squeaky-clean image. and he's used his program before, as a platform, when things have happened to him. >> and i can remember, robin, letterman talking about, you know, kidnapping threat against his family. the stalkers that often seemed to target him. the apology, as andrea mentione for the sarah palin, knocked-up daughter joke, which was way over the line. but one of the things about having a nightly hour is you do get a chance to explain yourself. and letterman took advantage of that. i mean, he's fortunate to have that. and, of course, america's a forgiving country. and in the age of john ensign, john edwards and mark sanford, i don't think anybody will be shocked that somebody rich a

i remember when bill clinton was doing the nasty with monica lewinsky. his approval ratings were even higher than when she was just doing his job. the people of south carolina are rallying around mark sanford, their christian governor, who somehow mistook an argentinian woman's vagina for the appalachian trail. how fabulous is that? next time, if sanford wants to win in a landslide, maybe he should have an affair with a swede and tell his wife he's snowboarding in minks. let's face it, sex sells. sex scandals may ruin marriages, upset families, and become national embarrassments, but so what? the main thing here is that americans are transfixed. they don't want to miss one little salacious detail. it's a ratings bonanza. this is a new show and i could use a little leg up. maybe it's time for me to have a dal dalliance of my own. this studio is crawling with men. hank, i don't mean too much offense, but there's no friggin' way, even i have standards, but that's just me. >>> gay rights advocates are marching on washington on sunday. why? because americans

clinton. and i think the people who loved dave before will continue to love him but now there's this kind of seedy thing attached to his legacy and his reputation. the difference is that his wife is not political. she doesn't have to do one of those humiliating press conferences that we see the political types have to do, like the wife standing by the podium when the governor admits he's had an affair? i think regina is looking at her options and i don't think she'll be in any hurry to get this done. >> i think the publicity is dave's worst nightmare. the debate rages on the people are argue wlg he should have even talked about his wife. he had always relentlessly protected her privacy. before the show last night, wendy williams told "showbiz tonight" dave didn't have to say a thing about his wife on tv. take a look. >> i think he's handles it very well and i don't think we're owed any more explanation on it. i don't think it's necessary to apologize to his wife or say anything about apologizi

bill clinton is envious of steve mcnair. he's doing the double dutch. two gumarahs on the side plus the wife and kids and he's text messaging back and forth with gumarah number one and gumarah number two. he's almost double the age of the young lady who took his life. man, this guy was asking for double trouble and -- >> i agree with what brian had to say. it's not just an idea that somebody got involved with a married man. it wasn't even the wife probably that sent her over the edge because she knew what she was getting into. it was the idea she didn't have money, she was living a life with him that she didn't have before, he was traveling with her, taking her places, paying her bills, and then he got another girlfriend on the side. so the idea of all this combined with maybe a drug or an alcohol problem is what really sent her over the edge, and now in these text messages we really get to see her state of mind and the desperation she was facing right before -- >> stacy, you're right because money problems figured in this. they were stressing kazemi. s

i want to remind everybody that bill clinton balanced the last four budgets in 1997-2000 and handed bush jr. a surplus and we started all these tax cuts and were spending and the deficit ballooned and the economy tanks and now obama has been handed this horrendous situation. that said, i want to give a couple of ideas where we can save money. the first idea would be in afghanistan and iraq. progress was made in iraq through negotiations. we have not really tried negotiations with the taliban. they are tribal and all we talk about is using more force. that is recruiting more angry people for them. i would recommend to the administration that they try negotiation. that will not be easy but it is worth a try. if we could get a better resolution over there, that would save us billions. my biggest way to save money would be on the health-care debate. we spend more money on health care than any other nation. 75% of our money is spent on cancer, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. all those are preventable through better diet and lifestyle changes and exercise. that is where the health care deb

how critical is this plan to the final health care bill? let's talk about it with richard, adviser to the clinton- gore campaign, and pete, a worker for the reason bush administration. welcome to both of you. we know that the chairman of the finance committee has said that the public option is not going to pass. why is the president working so hard to try to make sure that something like that winds up in the final bill? >> a great question. i wish we could get an answer. if president obama wants to pass health care reform legislation this year he needs to drop the public option. i guess he is just not getting that memo. he is only meeting with democrats, he cannot even court his own party. others are saying they will not vote for it unless the public option is included. their best bet is to let it go and get other things, things on which we can get a truly bipartisan legislation through, moving on to other important pressing matters, like the unemployment rate and the jobs. jon: the white house points to republican opposition as the big roa

. >> i think the clintons should start using that instead of vast right wing conspiracy. >> greg: is that with the male phyllis. >> a dr. fill fan folks bill, i have to admit, does woody allen have the biggest ca jolt noen for signing this. >> i have yet to see the pictures and i do want to. send them to "red eye" care of fox news. we are going on and on with the history with regards to polanski with regard to what happened. i look at the tape of whoopi goldberg and i ask you what happened to her eyebrows. why does she have no eyebrows? >> greg: lay off mr. ablou. >> he has a bone head. >> greg: here is the thing. when whoopi goldberg said rape rape she was talking about the actual charge, i guess is what she meant. >> right. >> versus actuality. >> greg: but she is a feminist. >> not any more. >> greg: good example. huffington post had at least four articles defending roman polanski. she has two teenage daughters, would you be happy or comfortable leaving roman polanski in a room with her teenaged daughters. >> bret: i'm more offended that you name dropped arianna huffington. >> gre

do this and this was a good bill. the republicans this time on health care are taking the tact it's all or nothing, they'll appeal for their base. a lot of members of congress are in safe districts, so they can do that without having a risk. but i think presidential prospects, at least, this whole crazy reaction to something like this, it's just -- it just lingers out there, and republicans are -- >> one sense in terms of what's driving it. brad, i'll ask you this. there does seem to be an element of president obama is not one of us. he is from somewhere else, he's a muslim, wasn't born here, wants to indock tri nature our kids. it sort of defies logic the way some of this is going. what is really going on here? >> well, the wackiest people seem to get the most print and air time. it's not the mainstream conservatives, it's not the right of the center conservatives, it's the most extreme. and i've got to tell you, i'll put our most extreme people against peter's most extreme people. they're equally crazy. >> but brad,
