Secretive, lying, angry, abused: Clinton's DIY psychoanalysis for the baby boomers

Mr. Rennie is having difficulty suppressing his nausea in writing this...I'm having similar difficulties in reading about the self-absorbed pest.

Regards, Ivan

It's an old joke that women hate:
Q.Why do old men heve sex with young girls?

A. Because they can.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

.

Clinton remorsefully confesses:
"I had sex with Monica...................Because I could."
Oh how contrite Oh how contrite Oh how contrite

Mr Clinton asserts that in some ways, the Lewinsky scandal was "liberating" - that after two months sleeping on a White House sofa, banished by his wife, Hillary, a year of marital counselling and his acquittal of impeachment charges by the Senate, he felt finally free.

As always, it's all about him. Who cares that his adolescent libido threw this country into profound turmoil and that it likely prevented him from doing anything about UBL and the emerging threat of islamofascist terrorism. None of that matters, becuase IT'S ALL ABOUT BILL!

I wish to God that this man would stand over my compost pit and spew his memoirs...

[Malesherbes]

The creature is pathetic. That the United States twice elected him President and now faces the possibility of a Kerry Presidency is a source of despair.

Bill Clinton is a narcisisstic personality disorder. Note I didn't say he HAS a narcisisstic personality disorder...he IS a narcisisstic personality disorder. He has no soul, and views the entire world as an extension of himself.

I really feel for the poor copy editor who got assigned this book and the secretary who had to transcribe those notebooks. If it's this bad now, it must have been even worse in its original form.

In a sprawling, 957-page autobiography to be released today

I have a feeling that not too many people will actually read it cover to cover.

"I hid it pretty good, didn't I?

Actually, you didn't Bill. You're a posterchild for someone who has no boundaries, found in the abused and neglected.

"We're all going home," he writes, "and I want to be ready."

Bubba, I don't think they make fire retardant that strong.

[fire_eye]

How could this guy write this without it ever dawning on him how completely debasing it is for an ex-President to write such a whining litany of self-pity?

I mean, this is the guy who was so worried about his "Legacy"... and it didn't occur to him that whimpering about his childhood is probably not going to improve his condition in the history books very much?

I'm "BumFuzzled"...

"I hid it pretty good, didn't I? You didn't know. I mean, he bankrupted us. He ruined us financially," Mr Clinton says, referring to the huge legal bills with which he left office.

He didn't hide it at all and if he was bankrupted, how could they afford the mansion in NY?

Notice Mr. Clinton's disfunctional childhood experiences regarding his mother and stepfather. He does not often tell the rest of the story (about his mother). It has to do with why he married a woman like Hillary.

It also has to do with why there are fathers' groups like Fathers 4 Justice and others here, in the USA. Our US Congress helped Hillary and her friends to pass unconstitutional laws that imprison fathers for no more than false accusations without evidence and debts that some of them can't pay. No-fault divorce is wrecking western culture, and most people don't realize what we're missing.

It's a wonder that US fathers kill themselves so often instead of reacting in the least, the way Fathers 4 Justice has (re. the "Spider Man" events, etc.).

Fathers' group clash with police

Quote:
"Scuffles started after Ron Davis' arrest"
The Fathers 4 Justice group clashed with police after a man involved in the flour attack on Tony Blair was held for breaching bail conditions."

Mr Clinton describes his impeachment fight as "my last great showdown with the forces I had opposed all my life" - offering a sweeping reference to conservatives who opposed civil rights and racial integration in the South,

Uhhhh...those were the Democrats. They were 'conservative' in the sense that they were trying to conserve the status quo, I suppose, but they weren't Republicans.

[RJL]

his acquittal of impeachment charges by the Senate, he felt finally free.

Wrong, Clinton was impeached.

The Senate did not remove him from office.

I tend to take his self-analysis seriously. I wonder myself how the boomer generation was so dysfunctional that they elected him to office for a second term. This opinion shows my age, and subjects me to the criticism of the boomers, but there is something wrong. This is not the knowledgeable country that it once was.
