Clinton: "It interrupted the natural order for me to be elected president"
Advertisements [?]
I caught some of the Clinton-Couric interview tonight on CNBC on the topic of Ken Starr, and I had NEVER heard of this before:

Couric: “He, in response to your book and some of the things – I guess he's heard about it – he said he hasn't read it yet, but will. He said, ‘I understand the depth of his feelings. People tend to not like prosecutors.’”

Clinton: “That's not true. I like Robert Fisk just fine. People don't like prosecutors who prosecute people instead of crimes.”

Couric: “But you thought he was doing the right thing. How could this be false?”

Clinton: “He absolutely did. Because he believed that it violated the natural order for me to be elected president. That's what he believes. After 1968, they thought there would never be a Democratic president. They thought the only reason Jimmy Carter was elected is because of Watergate. And they really believed when I won, it interrupted the natural order of things. But I don't quarrel with that, and I don't think that Starr believes he's a bad man. I think he believes he's a good God-fearing Christian and that he was driving an infidel from the temple. But his goal was to drive me from office whether I committed a crime or not. And the American people need to know that.”

It sounds like the repubs in general believe they are entitled to the presidency - forever! Like the "Divine Right of Kings"! Could this be the reason some of them will stop at nothing - like stealing elections and God knows what else?

Where and why in hell did they get that idea? Anyone heard this before or find it in his book yet?
