The Big Dog in Winter.

This could be a good movie! Peter O'Toole and Catherine Hepburn!

[gridlock]

This article tells the hard truth that the flaws that are pulling Clinton down today have always been there. It is just that today Clinton’s power is in decline, and there is nobody left to prop him up.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, lol

[gridlock]

As the Round-Heeled Media tries to pretend that the scrofulous visage that is Bill Clinton circa 2008 is a different person than the one elected in 1992, it is good that somebody is pointing out that he has always been a deeply flawed person.

[Galtoid]

He was in serious denial for years about his invincibility, largely helped by a fawning MSM. Now that the MSM has taken their blinders off, and have been wooed by a younger, skinnier, black man, well . . . can you say BuhBye???

[SERKIT]

If Bill comes out for Barry like he did for Algore, McCain is a sure winner.

[Earthdweller]

"Now that the MSM has taken their blinders off, and have been wooed by a younger, skinnier, black man, well . . . can you say BuhBye???"

Irony of all ironies....replaced by someone younger, skinnier....

Law of the jungle, live by it, die by it.

[gridlock]

Those who live by the MSM lie die by the MSM lie.

"This could be a good movie! Peter O'Toole and Catherine Hepburn!"

This would be a better movie with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. ;^)

[gridlock]

So, the question is, will Bill Clinton’s pathalogical need to be the center of attention compel him to try yet another comeback after this one fails?

[gridlock]

Can’t do it. Alec Baldwin is now living in France (I think) and Kim is no longer talking to him...

[STONEWALLS]

Bill’s furious at America because he wanted back in the White House so bad...ex-Dem presidents can get kinda pissy...Carter has never forgiven us for not giving him a second term....that’s why he goes around the world bad mouthing the US....compare those two with Bush the First....he’s been having fun skydiving, fishing, quail hunting ect.

[Hacklehead]

Bill KKKlinton is a former “great”? What a barf! Lowry should be ashamed.

[Earthdweller]

He won’t need a “comeback”. He can lick the icing from the attention barrel like the old entertainment celebrity that he is by doing senior commercials and staffing “parties” for himself.

Carter has never forgiven us for not giving him a second term....that’s why he goes around the world bad mouthing the US

I think you are correct and I think it is just that simple.

[CWWren]

For a man blessed with so much talent, fame, and riches, ...

What talent? Musn't confuse fame with infamous.

[gridlock]

...compare those two with Bush the First....he’s been having fun skydiving, fishing, quail hunting ect.

Or Ronald Reagan, living peacefully on his ranch.

Or Gerald Ford, who never sought the limelight.

Or Richard Nixon, living the life of a dignified statesman after leaving the the most undignified circumstance.

Or to the soon-to-be retired George W. Bush, who will almost certainly center his life on family and home in Crawford, Texas.

[gridlock]

He can lick the icing from the attention barrel like the old entertainment celebrity that he is...

[Ouderkirk]

When he comes around to supporting Obama, who can doubt that he’ll compare the candidate to himself, in the highest of all possible praise?

Bubba will compare Obambi to himself. In his narcissism he can do nothing less.

[jrg]

and have been wooed by a younger, skinnier, black man, well

Should our potential next president be referred to as
Half-rican American?

[KarlInOhio]

Bill Clinton is like the old playboy who has for a lifetime gone on double dates and ended up with both women while sticking the other guy with the restaurant tab. He is suddenly sitting at the table alone looking at a check for four dinners and a lonely night in front of him.

[gridlock]

[STONEWALLS]

“Or to the soon-to-be retired George W. Bush, who will almost certainly center his life on family and home in Crawford, Texas.”

Yep!....I expect that’s exactly what he’s going to do...I’m a retired guy myself and can tell you from first hand experiance that one of the pleasures of middle age is that you can start to transfer your vanities to your children and grandchildren...that’s how you learn to age gracefully....Bill Clinton is going to have a lot of trouble in this area....he’s too restless, irritable and discontent.

[khenrich]

This article tells the hard truth that the flaws that are pulling Clinton down today have always been there. It is just that today Clinton’s power is in decline, and there is nobody left to prop him up.

The difference is the elite media have chosen Obama to carry their flag, and Bill is now being treated like a Republican politician.

I can hardly imagine just how lonely Bill Clinton's life must be. He runs with a couple of young playboys who have plenty of money, but no substance. For eight years he's had the run of his Chappaqua house, while Hillary lives in Washington and Chelsea lives in Manhattan. Looks like that scenario continues.

[Crawdad]

There’s talk on the street, it’s there to
Remind you, that it doesn’t really matter
which side you’re on.
You’re walking away and they’re talking behind you
They will never forget you ‘til somebody new comes along
Where you been lately? There’s a new kid in town
Everybody loves him, don’t they?

In his telling, the 2008 Democratic primaries are the fruit of another vast conspiracy against the Clintons, who have struggled against a biased media, cheating unions, unfair rules, and malevolent left-wing pressure groups.

Welcome to the Republican Club Mr.Clinton...How does it feel like? Very frustrating I will bet.Now, you know what we have to put up with, day in and day out, when characters like you and your so called buddies in the Media were/are attacking us!

I hope you learned your lessons and see liberalism for what it is! Useful idiots comes to mind.
