The guy is just arrogance personified.

Really, I should just stop visiting Hot Air. Every time I do I end up seeing further evidence of what a sleazy, arrogant bastard Clinton has always been... and every time it makes me sicker and sicker.

Click here to see the piece that set me off today, a 2004 interview featuring Slick attempting character assassination against the late Peter Jennings and ABC. Jennings mentioned to the former President that a C-SPAN panel had ranked him 41st our of 41 Presidents in terms of moral authority. Slick flatly said that he didn't care. His response, in fact, was redundant and a bit unhinged:

They're wrong about that. They're wrong about that. You know why they're wrong about it? They're wrong about it.

Jennings wouldn't let him brush the C-SPAN panel off. He told Slick that he could tell that it did bother him, that his outrage was palpable.

Slick's reply:

You don’t want to go there, Peter. You don’t want to go there. Not after what you people did and the way you, your network, what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he leaked. No one has any idea what that’s like. That’s where I failed. You want to know where I failed? I really let it, it hurt me. I thought I believed in a, I thought I lived in a country where people believe in the Constitution and the rule of law, freedom of speech. You never had to live in a time when people you knew and cared about were being indicted, carted off to jail, bankrupted, ruined because they were Democrats and because they would not lie. So I think we showed a lot of moral fiber to stand up to that, to stand up to these constant investigations, to this constant bodyguard of lies, this avalanche that was thrown at all of us. And, yes, I failed once. And I sure paid for it."

The hubris. Really, can you imagine the fantasy world this guy lives in? I suppose it's easy when you're insulated, surrounded 24/7 by sycophants and hangers-on.

What an arrogant, paranoid, petty little man. It's disgusting. It makes me want to puke. The fact that this guy still has fans among the "literati" is totally beyond me.
