6/28/2008 - Bill Clinton: Democratic Disappointment |
|
I really, really liked Bill Clinton as president. I loved how he bridged political chasms. I loved how he seemed to genuinely give a damn about people not at the top of the social scale. I particularly loved that he took us from deficit to surplus, raised our credibility globally and got America back on its feet again.
Then there was the blow job. I lost a great deal of respect for him because of that. In my mind, if he was incapable of making good judgment calls in his personal life, I was pretty wary of trusting him to make good decisions for the country. It was a big disappointment. I still think, overall, he did well by the country but I never really felt as good about him again after the Lewinsky crap. But now THIS. His wife's campaign has brought out the absolute worst, the most childish and petulant side of him. He has become a parody of himself, an SNL skit that is real. A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could "kiss my ass" in return for his support. "He's saying he's not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support. "
Nice. What a self-important piece of shit to act like this. Fuck you, Bill. The political world quit revolving around you quite awhile ago. Get over it. And get over yourself. I'm just sayin'... |

Wow, man. He really comes across as a self-absorbed prick. Your last paragraph says it all, perfectly. |

Yeeaah, I'd be very wary of taking this article seriously. The journalists are basically saying, "Someone told me that someone told them that Bill said this..."
This same source is saying that he's spoken to friends of Bill who say they're surprised he's so angry. The whole article is based on word of mouth and, though it might be true - it smacks too much of journalistic bullshit for me to take it seriously. |

Some folks sleep on a problem, but you can camp on one as well. Camping is for the mind what a high-speed run on the highway is for a car. It tends to blow out all the sludge that accumulates in the type of urban driving most of us are forced to do in order to earn a living.-- Tim Cahill
To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
-- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war but not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and wasteful.
-- Wendell Berry
