W. Weldon said "this story should be in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Lawyers for the President of the United States, Bill Clinton, who has been sued by a former Arkansas State employee, have now asked to postpone the lawsuit claiming that the President, who is the commander in chief, should be covered by the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940, which means they are claiming that Bill Clinton should be protected as a uniformed service member. Mr. Speaker, this is outrageous. On the eve of Memorial Day, this man, to avoid a lawsuit, would claim he is protected because he really is wearing the uniform of this country. Mr. Speaker, how outrageous can we get? Only in Ripley's could we find such a story. Please join me and sign the letter authored by our colleague, the gentleman from Arizona [Mr. Stump], to this President asking for some civil decency." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
