Farewell Speech to Clinton by CW3 Lance Pierson US Army

For "FRED" and his ilk:
Now the the clock has ticked past 201200 hours January 2001, I am no longer encumbered and muzzled by article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justixce. I have a few choice words for you William Jefferson Clinton.

1) You are no longer the "CMFIC" of this country, so butt the HELL OUT! Go be a private citizen and relieve us of the burden of excusing you and your less than "sparkling" character.

2) You stunk the "joint up" with your acts that would have landed me and my "ILK" in Leavenworth Military Prison without a prayer of receiving commutation of sentence or "deals." Your complete diregard for the established rule of law and our constitution, (the one I swore to support and defend), set "on its head" our American society to a point, that left the lesser informed completely confused about what it means to be an AMERICAN. Your "Administration" mismanaged and was otherwise negligent (I am being very kind here...) in taking care of our nation's most guarded and "sacred" security secrets. For the first 6 months of your "regime" you blew off your morning DCI brief (for the first time ever since the inception of the office of DCI, or for the otherwise uninformed, the CIA), numerous individuals could not be vetted and awarded TS and other appropriate security clearances because of dubious pasts. And when you brought that "woman, Monica Lewinski," in as an intern, she was awarded a TS SBI clearance in two months, which in my case took 18 months and "UNCLE SAM" knew where to reach me for most of my adult life.

3) No longer will your ilk and generation "that smoked dope and talked bad about your country" that occupy the "mainstream" press and media positions et al, be able to give you cover.

4) No "man child" born below the MASON DIXON line in the mid 1940's that had as a part of his name "Jefferson" could claim in honor of Thomas. So quit faking it.

5) Your Foreign Policy, or rather lack of one, has left many of my comrades-in-arms executing dubious military operations, and subsequently ran a large number of them out of the service. So Mr. Clinton, and I use the term, "Mr." very loosely, I have been barely able to use your name and the "revered" term PRESIDENT in the same sentence. I never voted for you, I will never vote for you. And I hope that you can be relegated to complete obscurity. You and your political harlot wife are traitors. So when you leave the white house today, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

Our Smallest President

Subject: Letter from Mr. Thomas Campion Published in the
Prince George's Journal February 2, 2001.

Mr. Clinton:
Farewell. You haven't left, yet? Eight years in office and you will never be gone. You said it yourself in that peculiar farewell stunt you pulled at Andrews Air Force
Base on Inauguration Day. How did you phrase it? "Hey, I left the White House, but I'm still here!" followed by that trademark gulping laugh youemit when you're particularly self-satisfied. And that's your legacy, isn't it? Laugh at us all,supporters and critics alike, while you bask in the selfish light of narcissism and self-absorption. Those frequent photographs that capture you with your eyes twinkling and your mouth agape indicate just how much in awe you are of yourself. You're that tenacious, reddish-brown water stain on the ceiling that no amount of paint can eradicate.

Congratulations. You have achieved a status that no
other president has ever acquired . . . or sought. Mr. Clinton, you are the most self-centered, disgraceful person ever to hold the office of president. Yourlegal entanglements speak volumes about your character. You and your wife can whine about the vast conspiracy that supposedly fabricated charges against you, but everyone
knows better. Your huge monetary settlement in the Paula Jones case, the contempt of court fine you paid, and the recent payment in connection with youradmitted perjury
vaporize that clumsy little myth the two of you tried to foist on the public. I found it especially revealing that in the end, when you were frightened into admitting that you are a liar (so as to avoid criminal prosecution), you
bravely sent your attorney to face the cameras and give it one last spin. You're not even a brave criminal. You're the unrepentant and cowardly lion, more transparent than the Wizard behind the curtain.

Bit harsh, you think? Well, pardon me. Pardon everyone.
How did you overlook Charles Manson? Every Democrat and Republican with trace amounts of decency agrees that some of your last-minute, sophomorically theatrical pardons were outrageous. Granting indefensible favors to outlaws who
pleasured you is a curious way to assure that your name
will appear in history books. Besides, it was so unnecessary. That impeachment thing secured your place in history. Remember?

For a big guy with a great swagger, your departure from
the White House exposed just what an insecure waif you truly are. Evidently, you were uncertain as to whether you had sufficiently disgraced your office while there, so you and your childish fraternity brothers vandalized the place.
While the pornographic messages on answering machines and computers were beautifully Clintonian, and the garbage left in the halls was emblematic of your character, I was more impressed with the drawers you guys glued shut. It made me laugh, sort of a gulping sound. When I heard about the cut phone and computer lines, the damaged keyboards and the stealing of White House property, it made me beam with the pride of a proud American whose president worked tirelessly to diminish himself as much as he did the position he held.
I would be remiss in my praise if I did not indirectly
congratulate you by admiring your wife for her craven acquisition of free furnishings for your two new houses. That was a real touch of class. Sweet work, Hillary; you really are a junior senator.

Just two more things, Billy, and I'll let you get back to
planning your next obnoxiously despicable act. I have written to every president since Richard Nixon, and you are the only one without the courtesy or courage to write back. Apparently I did not supplicate your highness in an appropriate fashion. Sorry. For years I have taught my students about the presidents.
Ronald Reagan was the oldest to serve, FDR held office the
longest and James Madison was our shortest chief executive.

You, Mr. Clinton, were our smallest president.
