Not Joe Klein's Primary Colors. And not Jack Stanton.
bill clinton is straight out of
Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
 
clinton is Alex,
one of the few truly amoral characters in either film or literature;
not quite as Kubrick (or Burgess) had imagined him, however,
but rumpled, wrinkled, paunchy, edematous,
stripped of the youth-excuse
after 30 additional, pathetic, recidivistic years
of marauding, stomping, raping, gangbanging, deceiving and destroying.
 
Like A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, the story of bill clinton
is the story about a society that has lost its capacity for moral choice.
But unlike in the less fabulous and no more ironic fable,
clinton is not mere nascent symbol but nihilistic agent.
 
clinton, like Alex, is the leader of the gang, the "droogies."
Eerily prefigured by the rocking, crooked phallus,
clinton's a conscienceless sadist
who thrills at risk and gratuitous destruction,
whose sexual and non-sexual impotence
is at the root of his obsession with "the old inout."
 
When Alex kills a woman during a rape, Alex is sent to prison.
When clinton rapes women, girls, his country and God knows what else. . .
and kills? --- check out those fourscore-plus deaths, please!
And don't forget the wag-the-dog, desperately-seeking-a-legacy bombings,
or the cold-blooded Ricky Ray Rector execution---
not clinton but society is imprisoned,
imprisoned in clinton's
besmirched, semen-stained, feckless presidency.
 
A risible and repulsive result;
yet not even the punch line.
 
While Alex is conditioned in prison with aversion therapy,
transmuted into a moral robot who becomes nauseated
by the mere thought of sex and violence,
bill clinton and his Thought Police,
in a perverse reverse aversion,
have conditioned society's collective brain
into not mere acquiescence but twisted admiration.
 
In the end,
if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,
it seems the joke will be on all of us,
for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,
for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.
 
We will have set apart clinton as the hero
by making his victims less human than he;
we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims
so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings
as much as clinton himself does.

Primary Colors was one of the most important books I ever read.

It taught me unequivically that the political class not only *believes* the polity is stoopid, but actually is heavily dependent upon that stoopidity.

The roman a clef portraits of the Cuomos and Dinkins are also priceless.

Another grandslam, MiaT!

This summary: "Like A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, the story of bill clinton is the story about a society that has lost its capacity for moral choice."

Is so true it is chilling....and more frightening actually than the attacks on America by the terrorists.

Without the capacity for moral choice - especially among the power elite - there is really very little hope for this country.

However, like Elijah - who thought all was lost - God still has his people in this country! And many of them have found their voice of outrage here on FR. Yours, MiaT is a godgiven voice of outrage and repudiation of all that was and is "Clinton" - and of those who can still choose to support him/her such as Joe Klein.

A bump so I can locate this and add it to the next update of "tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast."

Klein is a spearcarrier in the lame & pathetic legions the clintons have left behind them... used, abused, discarded, yet still carrying water for the corrupt duo from Arkansas.

Their cousins can still be found in the press and entertainment media, whining "If only...." or "but, but..." still unable or unwilling to acknowledge their shameful enablance of the most fraudulent, most corrupt, most outright criminal Administration in America's history.

Having invested far too much of themselves in the clinton's feloneous rise to power ( and ultimate irrelevance.... ) they are forever incapable of seeing their own culpability, or the vast damage that has been done to this fine country.

I cannot even feel pity for them- my dog has more character.

So on point. More material awaits you, you may know, about the Clinton brothers pardon efforts at WND
