And then Clinton Just Slipped It In..

[DemocracyInaction]

The other day Bill was being interviewed by CNN's Soladad O'Brian and I caught a glimpse of how smooth this guy is of getting across things that no one else has yet come close to mastering. He broke off from some point he was making about not engaging in name calling but being of total different opinions with Bush, etc. and made a small side comment. He said (and I paraphrase) "..we are borrowing the money to fight this war and we have never, ever, ever done that before in this nation". He went on to explain that he thought his way was better of paying down the debt, blah, blah. BUT, when he said this I thought to myself "I wonder how many people this morning for the very first goddamn time realized that this whole mess has been put on the credit card and then realized how many ga-zillions will have to be paid off and then realized what all eventually will be taken away from them to pay for it"?? We have Dems who either never talk about it, talked a little bit about it, or just were so blathering and convuluted about it that it never registered with the publc. While I'm not a Hillary person, I think this party needs to start doing Big Dog tours (particularly now that no one trusts Bush or this government any longer)and explain to people why they are fucked, who is fucking them, and why they need to rid Congress and eventually the presidency of the "fuckers". No one does it better........

well worth the read

3. Here is the Rude Pundit on Bill:

When Bill Clinton went on This Week With George Stephanopoulos's Hair this past Sunday, the Big Dog used the razor shank like a blood artist on the Bush administration. One line in particular had a breathtaking undercurrent of viciousness and hatred, but stated in a way that seemed matter of fact, which, indeed, it was. When George Stephanopoulos's Hair asked Clinton about accusations of racism in the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina, after listing his administration's accomplishments for black Americans, Clinton said, "ll I can tell you is that what, when James Lee Witt ran FEMA, because he had been both a local official and a Federal official, he was always there early and we always thought about that, but we, both of us came out of environments with a disproportionate number of poor people."

Look at that fuckin' line. Look at how much is contained in that compact statement. Clinton says that he brought in experienced, highly-qualified people to do their jobs. And then he slices: it's about social class (or, as ever, "It's the economy, stupid"). See, Clinton and Witt knew that poor people would be affected mightily by disasters because they knew that poor people exist because, at some point in their lives, they were poor people. In other words, George W. Bush and his cronies are incompetent, elitist nitwits who understand fuck-all about the reality of poverty. It's fuckin' brilliant. As ever, the Rude Pundit says that he'd've blown Bill Clinton if the Big Dog had asked. And he'd've washed his spooge-encrusted clothes.

The rest of the interview is just as incisive about the failure of the Bush White House. On appointments to the Supreme Court, he calls the Republicans out for being the savage political Huns they are. When he was President, Clinton said, "Republicans knew that I wouldn't appoint somebody they wanted on the court. And they knew that I'd appointed judges that were not extreme left-wingers, that were more or less mainstream judges and were unquestionably qualified...The other thing is, there was no issue with my appointees of their refusal to release documents." Clinton asked Republicans to at least respect the institutions they didn't control, offering them respect in return. But, again, the Republican Party slipped into its Gingrich-driven miasma of hate and disemboweling of the body politic.

Fuck, just read the whole Clinton interview. Suck it down slowly like it's a bottle of vintage wine that you're drinking out of Riedel crystal glasses in front of a fireplace with John Legend or old Massive Attack on the iPod while your kindest lover is going down on you like a starving dog on a fresh bowl of Alpo. Imagine Clinton's good buddy George Bush the Less Dumb being told about the interview and going even more ashen and shaky as Barbara berates him for ever having soiled the Kennebunkport bed linens with such classless trailer trash. And then come, come, come, for such moments of pure pleasure are few and far between in this graceless world of ours.

7. The Rude Pundit has

a way with words..I like his take on roberts, too.

"9/19/2005
John Roberts Is No Stealth Nominee:
Fuck his writings, fuck his interviews, fuck the cases he's tried, fuck the cases he's decided. John Roberts is a known quantity for one simple reason: he was nominated by George W. Bush. And to trust these vicious bastards for a moment is to end up with a shiv in your ribs."

4. For a minute there, I thought you were quoting the Starr report

Good on old Bill. I know he's far from perfect, and I know more than a few DUers demonize him, but I'll probably always be a fan of Bill's. Let's hope that he continues to tell it more and more like it is now that he's crossed the line with criticizing another (nominal) US president. Let's hope a few others do, too. Al Gore's certainly been going for it...
