Washington Times ^

Former President Bill Clinton said Sunday he believed that President Barack Obama received friendlier media coverage than did other chief executives in part because of his race.

Asked about the stark contrast in press coverage between Mr. Obama and President Trump, Mr. Clinton agreed that there was a different standard.

ONLY “because of his race.” It was the America-hating, commie libs’ way of saying, “In yo face, America!”

Noooooooo.

And they gave you favourable coverage, Bent One, because you are in favor of killing babies in the womb.

Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone” rotates between #1 and #2 of my all time fav Rock and/or Roll songs.

Extraordinary lyrics and ‘that’ iconic organ...which is a story in itself.

Dylan’s voice, at that moment in time, is perfectly suited to the song and telling the story.

This is just BJC trying to soften up Trump in the lead up to the release of the Horowitz report. Hillary is in for some unfavorable news and the disingenuous Bill is hoping that by “sounding fair” he will somehow sway Trump to ease off on the upcoming criticism against his wife. That’s all this is really about.

The Clintons are self serving scum.

"The Clintons are self serving scum."

One would agree with that statement, even if not the premise expressed for it.

That’s what Rush Limbaugh said about Donovan McNabb. Where’s the outrage?
