The syndrome described is actually quite common (perhaps 3% of all men and 1% of all women). There is quite a bit of overlap, but I think a website search of the following terms:

"Psychopath"
"Narcissist Personality Disorder"

(for which there are many references available) will establish to anyone's satisfaction that each Clinton is clearly of this nature.

Basically, a narcissist sees everybody as wallpaper whose purpose is to render praise and adulation to him/her. Once this ceases, the person who no longer praises the narcissist becaomes the target of all manner of character assassination, since they now offend the narcissist.

A psychopath is similar but has the added element of criminality. We can all agree that is present here.

I and EVERYONE I know has had several experiences with this subgroup of people. Also, every job title that has intrinsic social prestige (lawyer, clergy, politician, whatever) has a higher percentage of such people than the estimated nationwide average (3%/1%). I can think of about 10 (all men) who have caused people I know all sorts of problems by this syndrome. Further, some researchers estimate that the percentage of such people is gradually increasing in American society precisely because of the competition-based social structure we live in.

Malignant narcissist is the technobabble phrase for "EVIL", which is just too inflammatory for the scientific world.

The truth is, a malignant narcissist is evil, and the Clintons are the embodiment of this trait so helpful to the political ambitions of 'Rats in the opinion of many.

Never negotiate with evil.
