Bubba en Nude
Pssst! Don't look now, but I
think that Bill Clinton is out gallivanting naked! Butt naked.
Free as a titwillow singing at dawn in the meadow ― flapping his wings, and
whatever else flappable that he may have, for all the world to see.
Remember what Bill Clinton said way back in
April?
Responding to complaints that Hillary was getting too negative, he said,
"After the [debate], her opponents', oh, the people working were saying, 'Oh
this is so negative, why are they doing this.' Well they've been beatin' up
on her for 15 months. I didn't hear her whining....And, you know, they said
some pretty rough things about me, too. But you know, this is a contact
sport. If you don't want to play, keep your uniform off."
And this was not a new position for former
President Clinton. Two years ago, just before the midterm elections,
he urged his fellow Democrats to get tough: "This is a contact sport,
politics," he said. "You can't complain about being attacked."
But now,
reports the Atlantic Monthly, Bill Clinton is "miffed" at Barack Obama.
One reason is that he feels that "Obama’s candidacy was essentially an
anti-Clinton candidacy." Duh! He was running against a
Clinton, remember?
The second reason that former President
Clinton has gotten a case of the vapors is that, "Clinton is convinced that
the Obama campaign went out of its way to portray the former president as a
racist." Which may in fact have occurred when the Obama campaign
quoted him. Imagine! Using a man's own words against him!
And now Bill Clinton has decided that he doesn't
want to play. He has complained about being attacked. He has
shed his uniform and lounges about, sulking, declining to lend any support
to Barack Obama other than
one icy thin statement so brief as to just barely cover what decency
requires.
Somebody, please, lend the former President
a hanky to wipe away his tears.
