This is a soul so small God Himself cannot perceive it without a magnifying glass.

That last line of the essay just needs to be repeated!

God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently God didn't think Bill could handle much.

[Darlin']

I can't bear to hear his disgusting name much less listen to what he is thinking. He is always thinking about the same thing.... himself. Why can't he just slither away back under his rock.

he wished, for the first time, to be back in the White House.

Anybody who relishes the idea of being in charge during these times is the last person you want in charge.

Bill Clinton NEVER had a chance for greatness.

Greatness comes from character not from external events.

An evil, self serving, narcisstic, characterless, low life like Bill Clinton couldn't assume the mantle of greatness if they tried to weld it to his body.

Deb Weiss is terrific. Really one of the best writers we have today.

He may be 'tormented' with angst, but only because he isn't the center of attention now.
I truly believe Clinton is a very despondent and self-loathing guy.
He craves attention and is so wrapped up in his 'legacy'. Hell, even Nixon shunned the spotlight for a long time after his exit, though he then went on to write and continue to offer advice to sitting presidents.

WJC just refuses to accept the fact that it was his presidency that was illegitimate. He never received more than 49% of the popular vote in his two elections and he would've been a one-termer if the G.O.P. had ran a Conservative against him and not Dole.
Clinton's main problem is that he pathetically seeks broad, (no pun intended!), acceptance, of which he'll never have. He's from a dysfunctional, hick family, he's the 'kin with smarts that caught the greasy pig'. And you'd think for someone who was so "intelligent", he'd be exploring several different avenues of employment now. By the way, has he ever had a job outside of politics? (Even in his teens?)
The guy, like his wife, is an emotional and psychological mess.

...each sobriquet an eerie blend of Capra and Kafka.

What a WONDERFUL quip! I love a turn of phrase that captures truth so perfectly!

[M.K. Borders]

Good!... Maybe he will get so depressed that he will blow his pathetic, sniffeling face off.

Thanks, it does help dosen't it.

It was like having Beavis for president.

[Squire]

Brilliant piece. One for the ages.

X42 is SO over.

[white rose]

This is no more than I expect from Clinton, but what really unnerves me are the reporters--like Meryl Gordon, whoever she is--who genuinely sympathize with him.

Which is scarier, I wonder: Narcissistic psychopaths, or admirers of narcissistic psychopaths?

[hillsborofox]

A wise Deb bump.
