Elder Statesman, My Ass
The media seems somehow surprised that Bill Clinton is "trading in the role of elder statesman" to become his wife's political attack dog. As in the following clip:
Who could be surprised by this? This is just classic Bill Clinton. He has always behaved this way. Just ask anyone who's had the temerity during an interview to disagree with him, question his motives or imply that his presidency was less than ideal.
I'm not talking here about the long list of Clinton's offenses as Commander in Chief. I've made that case before. I'm simply talking right now about the man's manner. His cockiness and his bullying. Anyone surprised by the naked hostility Bill Clinton has displayed while campaigning for his wife hasn't been paying attention:
Lest we forget, here's how he reacted when Chris Wallace asked how he'd address those of us who don't think he did enough to catch bin Laden:
November 2004, Clinton goes on the attack against Peter Jennings and historians who see him as a failed moral leader:
Here he is trying to scare a BBC reporter (and others) into submission:
Here's a clip going all the way back to '92. The Clinton vitriol was bubbling even then:
This is just who the guy is. Elder Statesman? Gimme a break. He is, if you'll excuse the expression, a a whiny little bitch. Sorry, that's just the only phrase I know that really captures Bill Clinton's character.
I don't agree with Barack Obama about much of anything ... but it looks like he's gonna be the guy who finally rids of of the Clintons. For that, I'll always be grateful to him.
