What is with this man?
Here’s the latest bit of nonsense to come out of Bill’s mouth. From ABC News:
“When I watched that debate last night, I got kinda tickled,” the former President said at an American Legion Hall event in St. Mary’s, Pennsylvania, “After the [debate], her opponents’, oh, the people working were saying, ‘Oh this is so negative, why are they doing this.’ Well they’ve been beatin’ up on her for 15 months. I didn’t hear her whining when he said she was untruthful in Iowa or called her the senator from Punjab.”
“And, you know, they said some pretty rough things about me, too. But you know, this is a contact sport. If you don’t want to play, keep your uniform off,” Clinton told a loudly cheering crowd.
Whining? Bill has the gall to accuse Barack of whining about last nights excuse for a debate after Hillary complained about her treatment in the media during a debate:
Well, can I just point out that in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time. And I don’t mind. I — you know, I’ll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious, and if anybody saw “Saturday Night Live,” you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow. (Laughter, boos.) I just find it kind of curious that I keep getting the first question on all of these issues. But I’m happy to answer it.
I tell you, the Clintons and their ilk have no shame. I never understood why Republicans hated Bill Clinton so much. It always seemed out of proportion with them having won the White House.
I wasn’t as political astute back then. But I’m starting to get it now. I’m understanding where the antipathy comes from: The slash and burn politics, the bending of the truth, the willingness to say anything to win. It’s just sad.
They justified all of it by chalking it up to triangulation, like it’s just a function of being clever. But in the end, it just means doing what you need to win, regardless of what the cost is.
I really used to like Bill Clinton. A lot. But from my viewpoint, the man has irreparably tarnished his legacy in a failed bid to establish a Clinton dynasty.
