We’re trying. We really are. Our attempt to make peace with the possibility of another Clinton presidency was posted here. But as soon as our heartfelt offering was made to, in a sense, bury the hatchet, we were reminded that Hillary’s absolute waste-of-oxygen husband would be schlepping around the White House and generally making a nuisance of himself for at least 4 years.
Clinton has been stumping in Iowa on behalf of his wife and yesterday he gave a 50 minute speech chronicled in article here. Author notes that in the first 10 minutes of his speech, he uses “I” 94 times and “Hillary” merely 7. No surprise there, but here is where we nearly got ill: while speaking about our armed conflicts in Afghanistan (the “good war”) and Iraq (the “bad war”) Clinton had this to say,
"Even though I approved of Afghanistan and opposed Iraq from the beginning, I still resent that I was not asked or given the opportunity to support those soldiers"
Reversal of Fortune!
Honestly, have you heard anything more self-serving than that statement? Its revolting. But that’s Clinton…. that’s “himself” in a nut-shell… in a single soundbyte. Self-absorbed, self-righteous yet pitiable all in one fell swoop. It’s a knee-jerk reaction among some of the gifted elite to express shock and dismay that they weren’t asked to bestow their blessings upon this or that, but “himself” takes it to a whole other level.
Bill Clinton is perhaps the only man on the face of the planet that can speak from a position of privilege, power and wealth but STILL make himself a victim. Can you feel his pain…. can you feel his hurt that he wasn’t asked or given the opportunity to support the troops?
Hey Bill, ever here of the USO, PVA….. or maybe some lesser-known grass roots organizations like Operation Homefront or Soldiers' Angels Scarves? They’ve been asking for years now.
What a piece of work, this guy. I know what I’m adding to my Christmas list.
