CLINTONISM:
THE VULGARIZATION OF AMERICA © (PART V)
by Norman Liebmann
As someone once observed that politics is a dirty business, Bill Clinton saw politics as a dirty opportunity and used it to launch an eight-year festival of treasons and trysts. Adolph Hitler was the gutter come to power. William Jefferson Clinton came to power and brought the gutter with him. Since then he continued to gutter-ize the nation. Bill Clinton was never uncomfortable in the gutter. He is the only politician on record as having found a soft spot in the curb to rest his head. Moreover, the gutter was a convenient place for the sanitation department to collect his thoughts. The dialectics of Clintonism become easier to collect and process once you recognize them as pure crap.
If a definition of Clintonism is required, I would suggest “junk government”. It could affix a name to that much jabbered about and meaningless Clinton legacy. Clinton policies are of a substance that we know can beat green apples to the intestinal egress. As Commander-in-Chief, Bill Clinton displayed a military savvy that was somewhere between nil and null. For him, going overseas meant a limo ride across the Potomac. Had he been alive during World War II, when American soldiers were on Omaha Beach, Bill Clinton would have arranged to be in Omaha, Nebraska. Bill Clinton was manifestly anti-military. During his Presidency the military bases kept bankers’ hours and the whorehouses were open 24/7.
Beyond anything George Orwell imagined in his concept of “doublethink”, the media accepted as gospel the Clinton proposition that treason is trade. In the Orient President Clinton was regarded as a financial juke box. They knew if they put their money in his slot he would play their tune - and make the Democrats in Congress dance to it. To this day, for the Clintons, money is the next best thing. What it is the next best thing to is irrelevant. Though no longer President, Clinton still has the aura of the Bagman-in Chief.
The embarrassment has yet to manifest that can make Bill Clinton squirm. In protecting his reputation the media first had to shovel it together in a pile. His disloyalty, perversion, and improbity are camouflaged by their flagrancy. Like Edgar Allen Poe’s “Purloined Letter”, Clinton’s decadence is hidden in plain sight. The press has ordained that the optimum method of concealment is to print the details in their newspapers and toss them on your front lawn. It’s possible that Karma has chosen declining circulation as its way of telling Publisher, Pinch Sulzberger, to take his copy of the New York Times and shove it up his In-Box.
CONSTITUENTS
Liberals know there are two kinds of people they can’t depend on – themselves and each other. The Clintons look upon dependency as the ultimate political virtue, knowing dependency creates constituency. Clinton’s constituents are like the country bumpkins who show up at carnivals and stand in line to get bilked. They come in all colors and stripes and share a common need to get f….d over by an unscrupulous yokel. For them, dependency is where it’s at.
The profile of the committed Clinton constituent is old, black, gay, liberal, in America illegally, writing a column for The Washington Post, and voting Democrat. A Democrat Convention, composed of life’s volunteer victims, resembles a halftime show at the Roman Coliseum. It was inevitable that Bill Clinton should become the hood ornament of this degenerate political construct. Clinton is the beneficiary of a contemptible intrigue of academicians loftily perched in the rarified atmosphere of the faculty lounge - civil rights humbugs, resentful glass ceiling feminists, and the die-hard soccer moms prominent in his apron-clad fishwife harem. He is the darling of those zombied out feminists, Eleanor Clift, Margaret Carlson, Jane Hall, and the rest of the Stepford Journalists. At the feminized slick magazine press, any political point of view is appropriate as long as it doesn’t clash with the drapes.
OLD
Bill Clinton for his self advantage, determined to turn America into a coast-to-coast retirement home, full of men with involuntary bladder function, and blue-haired ladies whose Social Security cards have less than five digits. After Abraham Lincoln died, people said "Now he belongs to the ages". After Bill Clinton got elected they said, "Now he belongs to the aged". His term ended before he could implement his plan to enact statehood for Leisure World.
GAYS
Bill never cared whether the gays came out of their closets so long as they tossed their wallets out first. Throw Rosie O’Donnell into the mix and you have made homosexuality uglier than it deserves.
GLOBALISTS
Globalism is perceived by Clinton as an opportunity to become the world’s first traitor-at large. He aspires to become Secretary-General of the United Nations in order to achieve his lifelong ambition to double-cross the entire world all at once - rather than one nation at a time.
MEDIA
The Clinton phenomenon enabled the media to reinvigorate the debate over the relative merits of good and evil. Apparently, the Bible settled that question long ago to everyone’s satisfaction except the New York Times. The NYT seems to have programmed its computers for collusion, confusion and retraction. They feel invulnerable knowing recantation is just a keystroke away, and, oft times, the retraction has been known to beat the edition to the newsstand.
There is no misdeed too heinous for which the media will not labor around the clock to try to absolve Bill Clinton. The FBI was obliged to retire the word “suspicious” to describe him because he is too overtly criminal. The consanguinity of the Democrat Party to the liberal press is a case of the bogus leading the baseless. Recently the media reported that Clinton blamed the Republicans for the epidemic of hurricanes. Presumably, the inference is that Bush is God, which is a refreshing change from the conventional liberal wisdom that Clinton is God.
It is reasonably sound theology that The Deity gave America the media as a counterbalance to all its natural advantages as a great nation. The media’s incestuous relationship with Bill Clinton is an obscenity before God. This unwholesome relationship is the most unholy coupling since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society and his Viet Nam adventure, his symbiosis of the welfare state and the warfare state.
Albert Einstein proved light could be made to bend. Clinton proved the same for the truth. Einstein would have had to use a hydraulic jack to widen the universe sufficiently to accommodate Clinton’s rampant prevarications. (The Clintons traffic in lies and the traffic is always bumper to bumper.) The more transparent a Clinton lie, the more abandoned the media is in its celebration of it. The media’s over arching response to the Clinton trespasses is one of selective inattention. The convenient explanation of why Clinton never got caught in a lie is because he has a trap door in his tongue.
During the Clinton era, analysis became collusion, opinion became prerogative, and readers became bystanders. Journalists merely gawked as women were raped, lies were sworn to, nuclear secrets were bartered, and the occupant of the Oval Office contributed to the sexual delinquency of cigars. There is no rational explanation for his corruption, and the media offered none. It is assumable that his criminality is spontaneous. He had only to stick his head out of a White House window to turn Pennsylvania Avenue into an ethical dust bowl.
Bill Clinton projects an aura of counterfeit optimism that the media finds hypnotic. They are riveted as this yokel snake charmer blows his politically correct flute. Like cobras they remain docile - as long as Clinton keeps throwing them mice. Feminist dominance of the media has cambered the news needle to swing between prurient and prissy. Voguish magazines abandoned fairness in favor of fawning. No less a Mickey Mouse chronicle than Time Magazine declared that Americans boys are intellectually, physically, under endowed, dishonorable, trivial, ill-mannered, and for all their obscene preoccupation with sex, unmanly. The Bill Clinton role model has borne its fruit.
The media is the most virulent carrier of the Clinton infection. He is its Typhoid Willie, and now, the media hopes to make a Hillary Presidency into The Bubonic Plaque Part II. The media characterizes the Clinton’s ruthlessness as political “savvy”. Surely there must be a dirtier name for it. [Note: The prospect of a Hillary candidacy reveals that an eight-year roll in the gutter with Bill Clinton is not enough for the Democrat Party to feel it is maintaining its prurient identity. A Hillary in the Oval Office does not mean Bill will be returning to the scene of the crime. He is the crime. At the conclusion of his first term, historians removed the Presidency from its list of prestige employment.]
The end of the Clinton Administration drove the entire profession of journalism to drink. Copies of the New York Times are still being delivered with teardrops on the newsprint. The media are still tying yellow ribbons to their computers - mourning the end of the Clinton Administration. Without Bill Clinton in the White House, the media has lost some of its smoothness. It no longer spins so much as it lurches. Since the Clintons left the White House, the media spin machine has slowed down like a Dell printer with a hernia.
RACE
Just as George Bush is currently attempting to prove that any white kid from Texas can grow up to be Mexican, Bill Clinton is trying to prove that any white kid from Arkansas can grow up to be black. Bush holds the position that all illegal aliens should be allowed to stay in the United States. Clinton wants to limit them only to the ones with big tits. You can’t say Bubba doesn’t have standards.
In an unblushing display of racial condescension Bubba moved his office to Harlem to which he commutes - presumably in a motorcade of stolen cars. There he opened the William Jefferson Clinton Inner City Magic Carpet Distributorship Sales and Service. Bill Clinton’s office is conveniently located near basketball courts, chop shops and abortion mills. What he is selling to people of color is that under the Democrat sway they can have the security of slavery without the accompanying sweat. [Note: Clinton had a black token secretary and presumably assigned to her the demeaning functions of coordinating his phone-sex traffic and connecting the stains in his wardrobe. She was not a token, she was a tool. Other White House operatives took turns dropping off his pants at the FBI laboratory to have the evidence decriminalized.]
The blacks have chosen to define their racial neurosis in terms of Clinton worship, despite the fact that he is married to the consummate WASP bitch. Hillary is revered as the bleached-out goddess of the Inner City despite the fact that whenever she saw an African diplomat coming down the White House receiving line to shake hands, she hastily put on an oven mitt. A Hillary Presidency will connect the dots between irascibility and bigotry. People of hue never had more exploitive adversaries than the Clintons. Their adulation of the Clintons corroborates every derogatory caricature that has ever been made of black people; gullible, easily manipulated, oversexed.
Credulous inner city folk have been led to believe by Toni Morrison, a writer on The New Yorker Magazine, that Clinton is the first black President. Clinton is more likely the first male Dixie Chick with an attitude. Presumably Ms. Toni Morrison is also a member of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Clinton People.)
Possibly, Ms. Morrison believes, in Arkansas, whiteness skips every other generation. Despite her presumption, Clinton is white and likely to remain so. Ms. Morrison’s idée fixe that Bubba is black may yet bring back segregated facilities in the South. It would not be unusual to see a toilet designated “Clintons Only”. Bill Clinton will have a more reliable claim to being the first black President when America becomes an entire nation of Sleeping Car Porters named “George”. Despite his white appearance, Michael Jackson protests he is black, but occasionally has to carry a shoe shine box for identification. Racially, being black is currently politically correct and becoming black has become akin to breaking into show business. (It’s alluded there isn’t a Civil Rights leader who does not covertly resent Clinton for his blacker-than-thou.)
Don’t wait for Bill Clinton to overplay his hand with the blacks. It’s not going to happen. Their relationship has hardened into a cement of mutual dependency. Clinton conveyed effectively to minorities the paradoxical message that they never had it so good and never had it so bad at the same time, while inside the Oval Office, Bill Clinton never had it so often.
In Somalia, Haiti, Sudan, Kosovo, Clinton found a way to merchandise death. Had Rwandans been able to vote in American elections, Clinton might not have abandoned them to genocide. One has only to consider the passive reaction of Civil Rights leaders with regard to the slaughter of their "brothers and sisters" in the Sudan to realize their racial sensitivities are for domestic consumption and personal gain.
The dumbing down of minorities is the Clinton method of achieving political leverage. It is his mission to produce an underclass of heavily credentialed, semi-comatose, mop-wielding, illiterates. He encouraged the Affirmative Action nirvana where the student receives his diploma and his welfare check in the same envelope. The value of a diploma is problematical in that society whose principal contribution is “hangin’ out”. Welfare was Clinton's principal lure for recruiting rock ‘n’ roll zombies to his retinue. He gives their worst fears substance. Cultural trendsetters have circulated a general apprehension among inner city residents that if they do not wear their baseball caps backwards, do not have their under shorts showing above their baggy trousers, and do not speak well of the Clintons - they will die. The Civil Rights hustlers canvass the country trying to convince their Civil Rights groupies that reverse bigotry is justified. Clinton just stokes their resentment du jure and knows the politics will take care of itself.
JUSTICE
It is no mystery how the rule of law fell into disrepute when one considers the conscienceless cabal of journalists that manipulate the swarthy and unwashed hordes of this country. To oblige the Clintons the courts gave themselves a judicial hysterectomy. William Jefferson Clinton gamed the justice system and won. If Judge Roy Bean were alive today Bubba would be wearing a hemp necktie. The ACLU would contend that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who went to the electric chair for treason deserved a legal defense. So it is with Bill and Hillary Clinton. They also deserve the same lawyer.
Bill Clinton’s seeming invulnerability suggests he has reached his accommodation with the Devil and it has been a good deal for him. The afterlife could be another matter. Clinton may be in for an unseasonably warm Eternity. That’s the way the Prince of Darkness works.
It is time for America to initiate a crash program to find a cure for Clintonism – time to call in a mahout to show us how to get the Clintons to lift their elephantine hooves off the nation’s windpipe.

Bill Clinton is the Michael Jackson of politics.
bwahahahaha! I don't think homosexuality can be made "uglier than it deserves," but that's a very funny line.
I can't imagine what her lesbian lover must go through on a nightly basis.
Nah. Michael Jackson has real talent to go along with his character flaws. And he made some really good music.
Obviously we're from different generations.
Some sort of chemically-enhanced denial, I'd have to guess.
Like all leftists. Plus she probably gets a good salary.
He is the master of fakery. No wonder Hollywood idolizes him...illusion is his and their way of life.
perhaps.
You don't have to like his music to recognize his talent.
Clinton's talent, on the other hand, was a sort of poor-man's-machiavellism -- malicious from start to end.
At least Michael Jackson could sell records and make people want to dance.
Just look what you have caused with your stupid similes. All the other frustrated chowderheads who think they can write cute have come out of the woodwork.!
And of course they are so wrapped up in their self-worship that they have gone off the deep end and are responding with comments about all kinds of "off-topic" subjects.
Maybe you should consider stuffing a fire extinguisher opposite that firehat buddy..
Gawd, that's a disturbing mental image. Brrrrrrrrrrr!

Nice going, pal................FRegards
Critics are like eunuchs. They see it done all the time, but they can't do it themselves.
Marvelous cartoon. Thank you.
Clintonism…one must go beyond corporate fed media to get under the slimey veneer to expose Clintonism's core…I offer the offspring of PLAN COLUMBIA…the so-called War On Drugs…

If scathing wit had an edge , he would be a master butcher.
Almost like staring at a bowl of butternut squash bisque.
