Super Freak?

Yawn.

This is perhaps the most puzzling and uncomfortable thing about the DNC clash for the nomination, how once loyal Clinton supporters have come to hate them, and how easily they do it.

They might want to check into installing a lift kit on that bus.

Who cares about some prohibition on 'the prostitution of art and literature'? I'm an edgy, with-it WRITER!

as Truman Capote once said,"That's not writing.That's typing."

What... so Bill Clinton's a Republican now, too?!

I always think of him as Mr. Bill in the old SNL clay action bits...

This is the MSM's way of doing to the Hildebeast what they and their fellow liberal travelers think the LGF and the "right-wing" bloggers/media have done to Obama when we call out his and Michelle's odious history.

Is Christopher Hitchens behind it? :D

Did Fjordman write this thing?

Very interesting article. By implication Clinton hasn't given up his philandering ways (at all). Money quote:

The sensitivity among Clinton’s staff to these questions is such that, after I posed some queries about Clinton’s relationship with Burkle and Co., a spokesman, Jay Carson, e-mailed me this comment: “The ills of the Democratic Party can be seen perfectly in the willingness of fellow Democrats to say bad things about President Clinton. If you ask any Republican about Reagan they will say he still makes the sun rise in the morning, but if you ask Democrats about their only two-term president in 80 years, a man who took the party from the wilderness of loserdom to the White House and created the strongest economy in American history, they’d rather be quoted saying what a reporter wants to hear than protect a strong brand for the party. Republicans look at this behavior and laugh at us.”

Then Vanity Fair puts out a hit piece on Clinton right when it can hurt Hillary most -- when the superdelegates are going to vote and they need a reminder of her "baggage."

Read the article.
It suggests otherwise.
Apparently Bill's library has been on the receiving end of $30,000,000+ donations, and he's earned $25MM for his book.
The Clintons aren't hurting for cash.

re: #53 savage_nation

Good night everyone. Back to work in 6 hours, yuk

Goodnight Savage.

The important fact in the article, and it is a fact, is that Clinton traveled to Kazakhstan with this guy who then made a bundle off sweetheart deals with the Tyrant of Kstan, and then donated a bundle to the Clinton library.

Follow the money.

It's not a hit piece. It's long overdue media scrutiny.

re: #62 looking closely
Don't you bash my cash stash! I be giving you the lash, Trash!

Night savage, see you further down the road.

From the link: "In fairness, it should be said that Clinton’s entourage that weekend also included his daughter, Chelsea, and her boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, and no one who was there has adduced the slightest evidence that Clinton’s behavior was anything other than proper. Nor, indeed, is there any proof of post-presidential sexual indiscretions on Clinton’s part, despite a steady stream of tabloid speculation and Internet intimations that the Big Dog might be up to his old tricks. On any given visit to London, for example, Clinton is as apt to dine with Tony Blair or Kevin Spacey as with anyone who might raise an eyebrow.

But among the not-so-small cadre of Clinton friends and former aides, concern about the company the boss keeps is persistent, palpable, and pained. No former president of the United States has ever traveled with such a fast crowd, and most 61-year-old American men of Clinton’s generation don’t, either. “I just think those guys are radioactive,” one former aide to Clinton who is still in occasional affectionate touch with him told me recently, referring to Burkle and (to a lesser extent) Bing. “I stay far away from them.”

Another former aide, trusted by Clinton for his good judgment, said, “On the sort of money, women, all that stuff ... I’m the bad guy. All this stuff is kept away from me. Whatever they’re doing, they definitely view me as somebody you cannot confide in.”

I gotta say that few people can do a real hit piece with the flair of Vanity Fair - nothing but innuendo and suppositions, but VF weaves it together, after throwing in the above referenced disclaimer, into making Slick Willie the modern day Caligula -only older than the younger Caligula and with no hint of his screwing his own sister (if indeed Bill has one).
Really shoddy journalism, all dressed up.

It is amazing how enthralled people are by the Clintons.

It is almost like the British Royals. People love them as much for their faults and foibles as they do for any sort of ability to lead.

re: #57 Racer X

Does it look like Hillary is giving any to him?

That aside, Bill Clinton's history regarding his various sexual liasons are on record. Why would he quit now?

Why do you suppose the media scrutiny was "overdue" until now? Dee Dee Myers has known who and what Clinton is for a long time. Did the Kazakhstan thing just happen last month? I've been hearing about it for over a year. Why did they hold the story until now?

re: #64 lostlakehiker

It's not a hit piece. It's long overdue media scrutiny.

No difference, in this case.

It *IS* relevant, as the article points out, because Bill's finances are co-mingled with Hilary's and the money he collects from his various panderings can legitimately be viewed as financing her campaign.

Bill has aways been a horn dog.. the Democrats practically bragged it up as a great trait when they were in the business of covering up his tramps under the desk. Now they would like to have a election free of the taint.. so they can attack him.. and if Hillary goes down with him.. well a real woman's libber would have DIVORCED him, and stood on her own feet.

My wife and I were walking out of Kahala Mall a few years ago. And down drives Laura and President Bush. We waved and they came right back at us. Big smile on their faces.

We had a cop back home who was in that situation. One night his new wife caught him in the back of the patrol car going at it. His retort was "I was cheating when I met you, what made you think I'd change?"

re: #77 psyop I agree with you - while they were President, Hillary in particular, was known for her take no prisoners approach to politics and made a hell of a lot of enemies.

were this released 2 weeks before the general
and the MSM willingly and gladly dished it
shit, McCain would have a hard time distancing himself from Bush that close to the election

re: #103 realwest

Yes indeedy, and that, for me, was what the entire issue was about. Nobody cared about his "private life", except that as president, he was a public person, and any part of his private live that reflected on his abilities as a public person was indeed something people needed to know about.

What was so amazing to me was that so many people did not seem to care that his behavior was so obviously the behavior of an immature adolescent rather than a grown man - and then on top of that, this immature adolescent was the President of the most powerful country on the face of the earth!

How could an immature adolescent have the judgment necessary to run this country the way it needed to be run? Answer, of course - an immature adolescent wouldn't have a mature level of judgment.

re: #143 Bob in Breckenridge

When I was stationed at NAS Memphis in Millington, TN, we went to the pub crawl on Beale street in 1982. All I remember is WOW! I remember going into Wink Martindale's bar and getting a "drink" served to me in a gallon paint can. I then ended up in the stall of a public bathroom with some girl I never from or saw after that night. There were thousands of us there...Is it still like that?

Not sure what the Pub Crawl is like these days... but the whole thing is not as much fun a it used to be, imho. It has gotten really touristy and neon-ish down there, and apparently you can't drink on the street like you used to (haven't been in a while). When I was in my 20s, (late 80s) I went to a festival down there and got served a Long Island Iced Tea right on the street, in something like a 36 oz plastic cup with a handle. LOL Well maybe 30 oz. It's not as gritty as it used to be, crime's gone up so they're way more strict. Different atmosphere. Great music though! :)

An aircraft carrier to be named after Ford will be under construction soon. It's scheduled to be "laid down" in 2009 and commissioned in 2015. Was announced by Rumsfeld at the memorial service for Ford in Grand Rapids, MI.

I figured that would be the case. Back then drunk driving was treated like a speeding ticket, obviously not just in Memphis. But speaking of Long Island Iced Tea, we used to get them in the EM club at NAS Memphis. $1.00 for a 24 ounce paper cup! And our pop machines in our barracks had pop and beer, .50 a can for American beer, and .75 for Moosehead or Heineken.

Yet there is a USS Jimmy Carter. I would resign sooner than serve aboard such a ship. Easy for me to say; my chances of going to a submarine are zero. But it's the thought that counts.

And as much as I loved Ronald Reagan, I think it was a disaster to abandon the long-standing taboo against naming ships for living persons.

Ford gets a bad rap. A lot of people think the pardon helped the country move on but even he admitted later on it ruined his chances for the next election.

Clinton attacks Vanity Fair:

[Link: www.politico.com...]

The Clinton camp responded today to Vanity Fair's long article on Bill with its own 2,476-word memo, which includes attacks on the magazine's "penchant for libel," on editor Graydon Carter, and on writer Todd Purdum and his wife, former Clinton aide Dee Dee Myers.

The memo (after the jump) calls the piece "journalism of personal destruction at its worst" and singles out, among other things, Purdum's suggestion that Clinton's heart surgery changed his personality.

Purdum "is not an MD," the memo points out.

The memo, provided by Clinton aide Jay Carson, also singles out Myers for this unexplained criticism:

Purdum's disclosure of [his marriage] in the piece does not, as Vanity Fair apparently concluded, remove the obvious conflict of interest. It's a conflict that would likely not be contemplated at more reputable publications, especially considering that, as a result of this relationship, at least one source's anonymity was revealed to others.

The memo also lists Bill Clinton's post-presidential accomplishments.

"Most revealing is one simple fact: President Clinton has helped save the lives of 1,300,000 people in his post-presidency, and Vanity Fair couldn't find time to talk to even one of them for comment," it says.

When did Clinton save the lives of 1,300,000 people?

Anyhow - the full memo is at the link.

I would have thought the Clinton Crime Syndicate would have stopped the article before it was published. The machine is getting rusty.

Maybe its time for Todd Purdum of Vanity Fair to experience a Clinton sponsored airplane ride to visit Leonid Kuchma in the Ukraine...

And, then Todd could view the crime scene pictures of scores of murdered journalists – just as a friendly reminder of how dangerous journalism can be.

Then the next free trip should be given to MarkKos... just to let him known he is betting on the wrong horse.

If there is a tape of Michelle calling people "honky," Obama will preforms a mitigated double reverse fake-out spousal sub-bus insertion. Here is how:

Race and racism are a disease. All are infected with this disease. Even doctors during the Plague would fall under its effects. Only one man, like Will Smith in 'I am Legend,' is truly inoculated from the infection of racism due to his genetic and spiritual makeup, though perhaps Tiger Woods is also another but Tiger plays golf not heals the electorate. My wife is sick and I will heal her just as I will heal us all, with your help, prayers and vote, and money.

That type of thing. And, it may work.

Obama.

Being the masters of personal destruction that they are, the Clintons of course know that that this is exactly what was going to happen - that once the Dem-SM picked a favorite, everything possible would be done to destroy his or her rivals - though perhaps they've been in denial, since historically they've never been able to believe that it could happen to them.

Would that be the same ones who were hootin' and hoolerin' and giving standing ovations to the race-baiter pastors?

Hmmmmm?

re: #257 Sharmuta

I think we can pretty much tell Obama is close to being your average "regular guy", if for no other reason than all the whacky friends and relatives he's having to explain for...someone like that should know better than to run for public office though.

re: #254 JustMyView

The people Obama has dumped, denounced, or tried to hide are people w/ whom he has had a close association over years. That is what is rather unusual here.

re: #254 JustMyView

McCain.You are absolutely right. As for the clergy, one indeed seem a bit extreme. The other Haggee appears to have been smeared. As for lobbyists, they were there, and in deep. Saudis, Mexicans, and I am sure many more. Unfortunately most are still likely around and have done their damage.
As for Obama, he seems to surround himself with nutcases, lifelong maniacal friends, and anti-American loons. Which are revealed so very slowly by the MSM. Like they don't want us to know.

re: #256 markie

At least one cleric he did that to was apparently a late entry, more or less to garner votes in a primary state at the time. Those types should expect to be used and discarded.

Charming. Pretty cynical, don't you think?

I think that's only true for the church and Rev. Wright. That's not trivial, but it doesn't constitute a pattern of denouncing one's past.
