a long meditation on what's up with bubba

Just as I'm sure it was planned for Obama to quit his wonderful church the moment his nomination was clinched, it is no longer off limits to examine as closely as possible what the fuck is up with Bubba, who, so far from helping Lady McBeth, really helped bring her down [assuming the giant pill bugs don't reinstate her] in a bunch of big ways.

And, something to remember:
Throughout his career, Bill Clinton has justified acts of extraordinary selfishness in the name of idealism—he’s always in it for the people, the plain folks who tell pollsters they trust him to look out for their interests, even if they don’t trust him. He has been forgiven colossal egotism, even cruelty, by those closest to him because of his superlative political talents, and because of the overreaching of his enemies. As president, Clinton often could not show grace in the smallest ways. He dithered about where and when to go on vacation, so that aides and Secret Service agents could not plan their own. He declined to release aides and reporters who had waited around all through a pointless Saturday of duty while he made up his mind whether to play golf (a game at which he has been known to cheat). He was never, ever, on time.

...a really big problem with all politicians, and maybe even what distinguishes those at the top.


Update:
MILBANK, S.D. -- Former President Bill Clinton today unleashed a salty stream of epithets to describe former New York Times reporter and current Vanity Fair writer Todd Purdum, calling him "sleazy," "dishonest," "slimy" and a "scumbag."

Further update: Media Matters appears to agree with Big Dog....
