This election cycle has been good
in one respect. I've learned that liberals are indeed capable of
recognizing right from wrong, even if it's only when there's something
in it for them, Barack Obama in this instance. Here's Bruce Feirstein writing in his Vanity Fair blog Friday.
| “ | Time to face an inconvenient truth: Bill Clinton is running for a third term.
Back in the days when high schools offered courses in civics, one of
the things that was drilled into us was the difference between “de
facto” and “de jure” segregation.
De jure was that which was mandated by law.
And de facto was that which existed in reality.
 In
watching Bill Clinton’s latest mini-meltdown on CNN—set off by a
reporter asking him to comment on a complaint by the former head of the
South Carolina Democratic party that the 42nd president was engaging in
the “politics of deception” used by the late (and much reviled)
Republican strategist Lee Atwater—Clinton’s response offered an unusual
lens into the powder-keg that is our former commander-in-chief:
Starting with an almost jocular dismissal of the accusation, he then
proceeded to wind himself up into a finger-pointing fury, attacking
Barack Obama, painting himself as the victim, and generally blaming the
press for everything, before walking away with the taunt, “Shame on
you.”
It was not, well, presidential. [Bill Clinton, Nasty Man, cont]

How belatedly prescient, eh wot?
True, Bruce does rely on the liberal device of never
criticizing one of their own without offering equivalence on the right.
Bill Clinton for Lee Atwater, LOL. Still, Bruce, in effect - or de-facto,
as it were - is saying, "You know what? The other side had him figured
out from the get-go. Boy, do I feel stupid."
Those of us
who do not read The Nation on a regular basis, learned from Peggy Noonan Friday that ...

| “ | ... William Greider in The Nation, the venerable left-liberal
magazine [writes] the Clintons are "high minded" on the surface but "smarmily
duplicitous underneath, meanwhile jabbing hard at the groin area. They
are a slippery pair and come as a package. The nation is at fair risk
of getting them back in the White House for four years." [Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, cont]

"We're Doomed" |
Oh my. I'm guessing the left realize that Hillary Clinton can't go through a general election campaign without having the
populace openly asking, "My God, why isn't she in prison?" Obama Rama,
on the other hand, is just as left-wing, if not more so, and carries none
little of the law breaking baggage. The media are not putting all eggs is the Obama
basket though, witness their "love affair" with John McCain and/or
Huckaboo - two characters they figure even Hillary can defeat.
Right now, I'm happy if the Clintons are, finally, killed [murdered,
butchered, leaf-mulched] as a political force in this country. |
