The infamous “Energizer Bunny” - I believe this is the woman referred to in the Colin Powell email -— I’d post it but I’d have to look it up. OK, I just did. Therefore, a link.....

Welllll I can’t stand either of them, but among Democrats the explanation may be that Bill Clinton is likable and successful, whereas Shrillary is both unlikable and (ultimately) a failure for that political party.

Because success prompts respect and failure the opposite. Although I have no love for either Clinton.

I’m guessing it’s too late for that.

Besides, it obviously isn’t necessary....

"I may have just found the first guy I support getting a sex change..."

Maybe he/she/it has already had one (or more) sex change operations....

Thank you for the link.

It accessed a note.

That’s okay. I wondered if this was someone close to you.

Take care.

There’s a good line in the New Yorker profile of Gloria Allred, which compares its subject, the most famous lawyer in the US and a divisive figure, with Clinton, who is her friend: “Each seems temperamentally incapable of absorbing the charge of self-interest, having woven self-interest together so tightly with an interest in the public good.”

I want to vomit.

Bill is just as evil ... but he’s likeable.

Evidently Emma Brockes is not smart enough to understand that Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are two different people.

Maybe she got suckered into that “two for the price of one” BS that was going around back when Bill was running for President.

Or maybe she’s just a moron who gets paid to write fluff for the Guardian so that they can publish it for other morons to read.

He may be doing it the natural way, DO. Metamorphosis. That’s his cocoon.

“Because Bill Clinton actually won the presidency twice and his wife’s campaign is one of the greatest flops in American electoral history?”

I think that’s part of it. Another part may be that what constitutes a Democrat has moved much further left than Bill ever had to contend with. Remember he “triangulated” and moved more towards the center and got away with it. A Democrat who tried that today would be vilified and shouted down at their own speeches on their own home territory.

Another issue is, she has become the National Ex-wife. Even if she didn’t have a voice grating like Harvey Fierstein, she lectures on subjects that she shouldn’t even mention. Bill would not have indulged in the public display of bad grace that Hillary revels in daily. Surely somebody has mentioned to Bill that if he has any influence he should get her off the national stage. He probably shrugged and made a sour face. He has no control and no influence and, most likely, he doesn’t care one bit what she does or how much damage she inflicts on the Democratic brand. Theirs appears to be more a business relationship than a marriage and the business really isn’t worth the effort any more. I doubt anybody is paying him or her $400,000 for 20 minutes of pap and glad-handing.

I did, but I’ll be honest, I thought you were sending me to something about the video. For this reason, I did read the note, but didn’t pay real close attention.

When you mentioned it again, I did go back. There are some interesting comments in there.

It’s not very flattering to her is it.

Thank you.

Could have sworn he was talking about Hillary.

That description seems rather tight.

We don’t want her to shut up because she’s a woman. We want her to shut up because she is evil, corrupt, venal and vile.

I’m hoping it was one. Something tells me this isn’t the last one we’ll see.
