Washington Whispers: Rallying round the boss–still
U.S. News ^ | 11/17/2001 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 11/17/2001 10:58:21 AM PST by Pokey78

Just because Bill Clinton has "former president" attached to his name and is no longer supported by a protective staff doesn't mean he has a "kick me" sign taped to his back. Just ask Paul Begala, keeper of the Clinton flame. "The right-wing media still has an obsessive hatred of the president, which in turn motivates us to defend him," the political adviser tells me. It's an expansive network connected by E-mail. There's a "Clintonstaff.com" page associated with Clinton's library and an alumni Yahoo! group. "We Clinton veterans do keep in touch. We love our former boss," says Begala. Consider: Reporting on a recent speech, the Washington Times highlighted Clinton's comments that the United States practiced terrorism in slavery and treatment of the Indians. Begala claims the paper missed the point–Muslims need to talk out their problems with Americans, not kill us–just to gig his man. "It will never stop," he says of conservative criticism, a point he spread on the Clinton grapevine: "Defend our hero against this scurrilous attack."

Begala and Carville still love Clinton. Wow, that's news worthy.

Begala likes to have Klinton's DNA evidence on his collar.

"We Clinton veterans do keep in touch. We love our former boss,"

Talk about a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Begala and his band of Clinton loyalists are baying at the moon...and like the wolves are motivated by the same drive...looking for love. Unrequited love is so sad.

You got that right. So why not advise the boss that his best option for damage control is to keep a low profile?

Everytime I see Begala talking about Clinton, it's like he's smacking his lips. Something queer about it.

DemocRATS are just SO funny when they are out of power!

They scare the crap out of me when they are in power though.

So get this plan: we keep up the rants against Clinton and it keeps these two responding rather than spending their time more wisely. I like it!

Begala is pathetic. Will he never stop licking Clinton's fat behind? What a sorry excuse for a man. Perhaps he is still sucking up to the Clintons because he wants to work in Hitlery's future presidential administration. Hint to moron Begala: she'll never get elected!

I dunno, Bubba - Clinton is about as funny as a wet floor on a polio ward. A bull in a china store. A used car salesman on a sunny Saturday morning. A bill collector on your answering machine. A PMS Jewish woman in Osama's bed. (Okay, so that last one would be funny!)

Astronaut, you'd have thought so given all that's happened. Is he a total imbecile or a sick man? Does he really believe the garbage that comes out of his mouth or is he delusional? Is it pride and ego that keeps his nose up Clinton's butt or can he just not find anywhere else to put it? The very best you can say is that he's a whining ninny who's to the Clintons as Igor was to Frankenstein.

And a secret handshake (not that I want to know where that hand's been)!
