But I hope the Big Dog goes back to taking his meds; he's going off and that's not a good look for an ex-POTUS.
I subscribe to Vanity Fair, so I've read this article several times, as the media were throwing away their Clinton exposes on line and in print when Obama claimed victory. (Yes, that article was planned 'just in case.') If it is true that Big Dog has undergone a behavioral change since his heart surgeries--and I do believe that he has-- it seems to have heightened his already overweening petulance and sense of entitlement. The presidency, evidently, is not the property of the Clintons. Evidently, they forgot that.
I remember seeing this video about both Clintons visiting a Seven Eleven or some such convenience store as a photo-op. Bill, diverted, continued to hold court elsewhere in the store, while Hill, seeing that he's gone off script, is waiting at the front counter, open-mouthed at what the hell is going on.
Bill is a loose cannon; he can't be counted on to do the tasteful, responsible, ethical thing and support the party. Neither can Hill, because she has been taking her cues from him. I doubt whether it's all about the Clinton legacy, per se. It's really about the fact that this black man beat them against all the odds. He can bitch and moan to the UK press and to Charlie Rose, and then affix a grin on his face talking to Obama all he wants. We know who he is now. A lot of people know who Billary are now. And it's not a pretty sight.
Bill Clinton is a diva. A bigger diva than any diva to ever sang at the Metropolitan Opera. Bigger than Hillary. Bigger than Whitney. Bigger than Jennifer Holiday in Dreamgirls. He's acting like a "woman scorned." Shyt Billy, get over yourself...
When writers say that Billy risks "damaging his rep," I'm like, "Fool, the damage is done. Going to Mandela's Birthday Party doesn't make you black 'again.'"
Another interesting part of that VF was that plaque and other particles from his heart surgery may have found their way into his brain. One doesn't need all that mess to be a diva. One naturally is, or isn't.
Who does he think we are, Stepin Fetchit?
Diana Ross was a DIVA.
Mariah Carey is a DIVA
Whitney Houston is a DIVA.
Bill Clinton....IS A DIVA. I have to admit that.
And he needs to get off the stage. Now, what was that I posted about whether Obama needs the Clintons or not?
I say NOT...especially since Hillary appears to not be able to control Wild Bill, and she doesn't really seem to enthused about controlling him, either. Plus, if Bill is going around saying "I support Obama, but I don't believe he can win" what the hell kind of support is THAT?
Bill Clinton is an asshole.
Off his meds, my ass.
I believe and will continue to believe that it was BILL and his acolytes driving all this race baiting stuff and not Hillary. Understand, Hillary is responsible too, she did and said some foul stuff and sat back while Geriatric Ferraro & Co. had their say.
But, I also think that Hillary would had sat down back in March, April, early May but BILL was pushing her to the finish line. It was BILL's cronies like Carville and Lanny Davis and Paul Begala getting up on CNN saying stuff. I just feel like Hillary was (willingly) used by Bill, Geriatric and that whole crew.
Sure, Hillary is bitter about losing, who wouldn't be? But I don't sense the level of pure bitterness spewing out of her like I do Bill Clinton. Bill's taking it harder than Hillary. BILL has been spewing the race card since early January. Hillary made some missteps but Bill made it worse.
Understand, I hold Hillary ultimately responsible for the race baiting because it was her campaign and her name on the line. She could have stopped it right from jump but she didn't. She's got to live with that. But, I don't sense the racebaiting and dogwhistling being deeply personal with her like it was with Bill. I think she was just doing whatever to get that nomination.
I think Bill was/is deeply offended this black man had the NERVE to come and "steal his show" [/Father Pfleger].
I would put Hillary to work, I would put Chelsea to work. I think they would more than deliver for Obama, just to redeem themselves. Bill? No way, he f*cked it all up for Hillary, he wouldn't be getting near me.
I just can't imagine that if a white male candidate had beaten Hillary for the nomination, that Bill Clinton would be going around saying the nominee needs to "kiss his ass."
Stop right there; Obama doesn't need that kind of help coming from Bill Clinton.
I stand by my comment that Obama doesn't need the Clintons; maybe Hillary in limited fashion, but certainly not BILL.
The Clintons were pissed with her for supporting Obama. Yeah, this campaign really exposed them. And after all that was said, I wouldn't believe in Bill would say on the campaign for BO. Remember that tepid 'endorsement'
put out by a publicist? I think Bill has overstayed his welcome.
For all of the the Back-stabbing CBC traitors, the Timbaland song goes like this, "It's too late to apologize___...Yeah___ uh__ uh__Yeah, it's too late to apologize."
Some (maybe most of them) will win re-election in 2008. However, 2010 will be another story. All the $$$ that's been pouring into Obama's war chest has got to go somewhere...can you say, a "generational tsunami" is coming to the Congress soon.
Either way, it's democracy in action, and if my fellow voters aren't feeling Lewis anymore, so be it. I have complete respect for John Lewis amd all he's done.
I think I'll leave this unfinished!
NOW, your support of Mr. Obama has been mildly mouthed, but your passion is NOT there! Why don't you take on a project of going after the NABRs? See if you have any strategy left! I'm through! L8R
