Two hours filled with rants against the media for accurately quoting his wife's varying positions on the Iraq war.
Two hours.
Bill Clinton has lashed out against an old ally, the New York Times, saying the paper wasn’t giving his wife Hillary "a fair shake.”
At a fund-raiser for Hillary on Tuesday night at the Trump World Tower in Manhattan, the former president spoke for two hours and devoted much of that time to attacking the Times, according to the New York Post.
WABC radio host Curtis Sliwa, one of the attendees, told the Post: "He said his wife wasn’t getting a fair shake from the Times.
"Clinton said the Times is attacking Hillary because she won’t apologize for her vote on the war in Iraq...
Another attendee said: "He went into great detail criticizing the Times. He was really upset.”
Thanks Sliwa and Newsmax.
He was really upset. One thing that tells us for sure. He was not talking about Osama bin laden, our jihadist enemies in Iraq, the Iranian threat or the aiders and abettors of same. Democrats just don't seem to get upset about the enemies of America. They get upset about the trivial, which the MSM calls "crisis" which usually means a Republican failed to properly genuflect before the Gods of PC.
Or it’s about their own navels.
The whining went on for two hours, filled with faux chivalry for the wife he rarely shares the same zip code with and neither Jerry Brown nor Jim Lehrer were even on the stage.
The portrait of the con artist as an old post myocardial infarct un-repentant sinner man cracking up behind the veil much like the Picture of Dorian Gray.
(That's right fans. A James Joyce and Oscar Wilde obscure reference in the same sentence. I just hope more get my joke than got Ann's even if I didn't say maggot. I left Faulkner out of this just to disappoint anti-Southern bigots, but I digress big time...)
Bill Clinton is not Der Schleickmeister any more. Rather, he is a very bitter sick man that knows better than anyone that his wife isn't going to be President and that he isn't going to have a chance to change his legacy.
I pray for the man's soul as well as his physical health.
First its poking Chris Wallace’s legs. Threating to make his bones. Threatening reporters with opposition research if they dare criticize his wife, and now
TWO HOURS of ranting about the NYT not being fair to his wife?
Witness the cracks that will lead to the crack up.
Bill ain't what he used to be, and the portrait revealed is not a pretty picture.
