Bill and Hillary’s Hamptons Holiday
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 23 August 2013 | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 08/23/2013 5:37:37 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Over the last few weeks my morning paper has carried not one story but two that tell, in exquisite detail, how power is transacted in America today. Following the activities of a single family as it navigates and exploits the connection between riches, access, and influence, the New York Times is, perhaps without intending to, composing a gripping narrative of social climbing and favor trading. The holdouts who still believe politics is anything other than the struggle of families, whether nuclear or extended or tribal or national, for power over material resources cannot be familiar with the lives of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Their very being dispels such illusions.

And their family needs no introduction. The Clintons are perennials, giant corpse flowers whose periodic bloom overwhelms the surrounding environment. Bill used to be president, Hillary ran for president but lost, and after four years as secretary of state Hillary is ready to run for president again. Highly educated, professional, supremely confident, clever, versed in the rhetoric of domestic and foreign policy, mouthing pieties about America’s middle class while operating within an Elysium of their own design, having the ability to slip conventional opinions on and off like well-pressed pantsuits, the Clintons represent like no others the meritocratic bourgeois liberal caste that manages the West. Right now they are on vacation.

They’re a great team - he would abuse powerless women and she would run the ‘sluts and nuts’ squad to shut them up.

While Hillary! is widely considered to be a “lock” for 2016, consider that 5.5 yrs ago she was in the exact same position.

Then a guy from Kenya by way of Chicago slipped in and stole the kishka.

They would sicken an decent American.

The problem is these days we are running short on decent Americans.

Too many Americans live off the work of others, accept homosexuality and swinging as though it were the right thing. So many violating the trust of husband or wife and screwing whomsoever they want. They mad their vows and got an itch and scratched it. Divorces. So many decide to have sex, get pregnant and kill their offspring, like it was a wart they wanted removed.

Society is in decay, and that leads to decay in our Government. The Government of Obama is rotten from top to bottom, and that includes supposedly in opposition.

=============================================================== The William J. Clinton Family Foundation......the Clinton Global Health Initiative......the Clinton Health Action Initiative (CHAI).

(Groan) how many ways can the Clintons use their name to make money? The Clintons' 24/7 self-promotion is a familiar do-good liberal schtick: whining about "helping the needy," and willing to make a buck on it.

They keep trying to pass themselves off as ‘Ozzie and Harriet’ and it won’t fly!

There’s too much smut, mandacity and double-dealing in their lives for them to EVER be anything but lousy grifters!

I never thought anyone would sicken me on sight as much as the Clintons, but I was wrong. The Obamas have surpassed them, although not by much.

She doesn’t look too bad, probably due to a skillful plastic surgeon, but he looks terrible!

THE CLINTON BODY-COUNT

The following is a partial list of a large number of persons who have recently met their demise in suspicious circumstances who appear to have some connection to the Clintons. I stress partial because new additions are coming in faster than closets can be found to hide the bodies in!

The only time they see each other except on the campaign trail.
