The Hillary Pillory: What the meaning of "Clinton" is
The Hillary Pillory
What the meaning of "Clinton" is

By Alan Bisbort

To hear Bill Clinton tell it, his wife will, as president, reach up to the sky and swat down al Qaeda missiles with her bare hands. She will chill global warming, rescue our economy and repair America's tattered reputation around. With characteristic humility, Bill has volunteered to be her emissary of goodwill (we could, of course, do far worse). He has also volunteered George W. Bush's father to join him in this mission, though Bush Sr. denied ever agreeing to be — you can imagine the disgust with which he said it — "Hillary's envoy."

Come again? Just in case the Clintons don't get it, here it is: We the people never again want a Bush family member near the levers of power. We never again want a Bush family member representing the United States in any capacity whatsoever. Never. Again.

And now we're beginning to wonder if we really want another Clinton.

Watching the blathering hyenas on cable news last week, as Hillary lost in Iowa but won in New Hampshire, brought back all of the collective pathology and hysteria of the 1990s. There was the lizard-like James Carville, weighing in on Hillary's brilliance. Carville, married to Mary Matalin, architect of Dick Cheney's lies. No thank you. And over there was Dick Morris, the Great Triangulator, the man who deleted all principles from the Democratic Party before being caught sucking on a whore's toes while playing recordings of phone chats with Bill Clinton. No thank you.

1. The people who hate the Clintons think everyone shares their pathology.

2. I've never hear Bill Clinton talk about a republican - any republican
with the same vehemence he displayed in his reaction to the media's treatment of Obama's record on Iraq.

I'm afraid the kid gloves will go on AFTER Hillary sews up the nomination. There'll be a shitload of disaffected Dems if that happens.

And you can look forward to spending the next four years bitching about pres. mccain and vp loserman.

Oh yeah and still bitching about Iraq.

5. She''ll still be Senator

Though, can you imagine, if after getting elected, she divorces him. Then we really would have an angry Bill Clinton, who would have not way to fight back.

4. Now that you mention is you're right
He was polite to GHWB when he ran, kind of ignored Dole, and really never hit W in either 2000 or 2004. (I guess his years as an alcoholic well beyond high school offended BC less.)
