Angry White Man meets the smirk

The smirk is the new angry. Remember the '90s, which Dems spent putting down "angry white men?" Now the Dems are angry. They've been hopping mad for six years. Sunday, their biggest star, former President Bill Clinton, embraced his angry side during a Fox News interview with Chris Wallace, as he turned his ire to the new target of Democratic sensibilities, the smirk.

Since 1999, Dems have been dreaming about wiping the smirk of George W. Bush' face. Sunday, Clinton expanded the smirk zone when he chided Wallace for having "that little smirk on your face and you think you're so clever." Left-leaning blogs are lauding Clinton's tantrum. Thinkprogress.org reported that Clinton taught Wallace "a lesson."

If so, it was a lesson on How Not To. Bubba looked silly dismissing Wallace, his "nice little conservative hit job on me" and the Fox News network as conservative tools. Sorry, Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch donated $500,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative last week and hosted a fund-raiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton this summer.

I don't get it. If Bill Clinton is so smart, why has he made his failure to get Osama bin Laden the big story of the week twice in the last month? Start with the ABC miniseries "The Path to 9/11." I never saw it, so all I know about it is that Clinton thought it showed him to be too soft on bin Laden. Oddly, when Democrats were billing themselves as tough on terrorism, Clinton turned the spotlight on his failure to vanquish bin Laden.

>>Bill Clinton is a great showman and communicator.

The great communicator was Ronald Regan.

The great prevaricator, now that’s Mr. Bill Clinton.

>>I believe Slick was planning on running out the clock...

It was taped, they can leave anything they want on the editing room floor.

eight MONTHS in office

Wouldn't that be 7½ months? And wasn't the first few weeks spent getting the pornography out of the paper supply drawers on every printer and photocopier, and getting every keyboard replaced or fixed because all the "W" keys had been pried off, and getting the phone system fixed because many of the buttons had been programmed for auto-dial to sex lines, and wasn't every cabinet position a battle to push through, etc. etc. I remember very clearly those first months, and it was incredibly hard to get anything done due to the childish behavior of the RATs.

LOL.......BTTT

[lentulusgracchus]

Considering how Wallace has been bemusedly laughing about it since.....

He has a right to be chuffed at DirtBoy's pique, and the producers of "The Path to 9/11" have the right to be trading high-tens and ordering in champagne and hundred-dollar hookers. They've pierced the "Bubbasphere" of BS, lies, and wonkish braggadocio that Slick has always wrapped himself in, and the real Bill Clinton has come pouring out in a stinking river of rotting bile.

[mom.mom]

Yes!

I always thought Clinton was a cunning predator, preying on vulnerable women and trying to bully everyone else. If he had not spent his energy pursuing politics, he would be a serial killer.

"Hundred-dollar" hookers? I would hope Disney could afford better than that.

[seanmerc]

Yes indeedy.

"President Bush is an upstanding, God fearing Gentleman..."

Not 100%. A God-fearing president wouldn't enable people to steal from the citizens of the country he's supposed to be protecting. GWB does this every day when he condones illegal aliens coming here to steal tax dollars from us, decreasing services citizens legals aliens should receive, i.e., schools, healthcare, etc.

[Coldwater Creek]

Downright disgusting, isn't it?

[gridlock]

You will note that Hillary! took a page out of the old playbook when she bored the National Press Corps to death last Winter. They invited her to speak, and she droned on for hours and hours about minutia. But she does not have the same facile ability to lie as her husband. At one point, she joked aloud that she really did care about "this stuff". That gave away the game.

She got stories for a couple of days about what a brilliant thinker she was on matters of policy, but the effect did not last. People really wanted to believe Bill Clinton. They don't have the same warm fuzzies about his wife.

[Centurion2000]

Why the dems cling to these is beyond me. The only reason I can think of for their continued support is in the form of 900 FBI files.

[Coldwater Creek]

I live in West Tenn., a suburb of Arkansas, and have followed the Clinton's antic's for over 30 years. We tried to warn everyone as to their shallow, theatrical lives were really like. Unfortunately Ross stuck his pointy ears in the frey and that gave us eight years of hell.

[TigersEye]

ROTFLOL whee oo. That was a good laugh.

[HarleyLady27]

I dont think there is one person out there that really appreciates what this President is and has done for us...

Your all stuck on kkklinton....!

[jellybean]

Dems have forgotten the old adage...."If you lie down with dogs, you'll get fleas." If you lie down with horn dogs, you get Lewinskys.

Another old adage: You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. ~Abraham Lincoln

[TigersEye]

Bubba ignored the fact that many of W's cabinet nominees were blocked for the fix six months of his presidency.

On top of the fact that Algore threw a hissy fit for over 40 days after the election. The time when a newly elected President begins putting together his staff and his cabinet picks. In spite of the fact that W never uttered a word of complaint it is illogical to think that that wasn't another obstacle to overcome.

And then there was the obstacle of cleaning up the mess in the WH that the Toon's pre-pubescent staff made.

[handy]

Brilliant strategery by WJC to bring up the one issue Rats are big time losers on this close the the election. I think the Pubs would love to focus on Clinton and the Rats record on terrorism for the next 2 months.

[skeeter]

Bill Clinton is a great showman and communicator.

Bah. He usually spouts incoherent babble, which he admittedly delivers as if its the Gettysberg Address.

When the odd-coherent point is made its almost always a demonstrable lie.
