Here we go again. Bill Clinton is apparently on a campaign to build inter-party unity between Democrats and Republicans in our shared revulsion with him. Leave it to Bill to single handedly destroy his own legacy. Why did we ever see fit to defend him? Were Republicans more insightful with regard to his character (or lack thereof) than we? Republicans?? Those mean-spirited little people, remarkable mainly for their infinite willingness to defend their own (Gingrich, Delay) no matter how deceitful?
Bill Clinton, campaigning for his wife in West Virginia, had this to say:
The great divide in this country is not by race or even income, it's by those who think they are better than everyone else and think they should play by a different set of rules."
Who could he possibly be talking about?
He went on to add:
In West Virginia and Arkansas, we know that when we see it.
Isn't that charming?
Regardless of whether one sees racial overtones in Clinton's words, and setting aside the "us against them," "divide and conquer" quasi-Republican nature of it all, I find it remarkable that the Clintons (of all people) could accuse ANYONE of having a different set of rules for themselves and everyone else. Heck, Bill and Hillary keep making up rules as it suits them. Remember those halcyon days when she, then ahead in delegates, kept spouting off about this being a "delegate race," droning on and on about how delegates are all that matter.
With your forbearance for publishing a short diary entry, I'll leave it at that. Bill's comment leaves me all but speechless.
