Hey, Look at That

Bill Clinton:
And it is, to be fair to all the Americans who aren’t as hard-core Democrats as we, it’s a philosophy the American people never actually had a chance to see in action fully until 2001, when the Republicans finally gained control of both the White House and the Congress.
Then we saw what would happen […]

Presidential Regression

by sarabeth

Once upon a time, it was common to regard Bill Clinton as an adult. It’s pretty hard to do so these days, especially, when you read stuff like this:
Is Bill Clinton still fuming over the outcome of the primary contests?
Although he has yet to pick up the phone when Barack Obama calls, a close […]

Enough Already!

by sarabeth

Here’s more drivel from the Clintons, both Bill and Hillary. It’s getting so you can count on them to come up with irritatingly idiotic stuff every so often.
After the debate opportunity that ABC News comprehensively butchered on Wednesday night, the consensus of people without an axe to grind has overwhelmingly been that […]

Quotable Quotes

by sarabeth

Things you can say in Pennsylvania in April that you cannot say in Iowa in December:
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, at a campaign stop for his wife in Pennsylvania over the weekend, said, “Corn is the single most inefficient way to produce ethanol because it uses a lot of energy and because it drives up […]

Surprising Polls, Even Mindboggling

by sarabeth

The other day I posted my thoughts on whether Hillary Clinton should stay in the presidential race or quit. The post was prompted by media calls for Clinton to quit.

Jake Tapper, Senior National Correspondent for ABC News

by sarabeth

The pathetic performance of ABC News’ Jake Tapper yesterday seems to capture perfectly how fully effed up our media has become.
First, he totally distorted some remarks by Bill Clinton about combating global warming.
Tapper’s take:
In a long, and interesting speech, he characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming […]

Senator Clinton And President Clinton

by sarabeth

John Edwards made an interesting choice of words in last night’s concession speech in South Carolina:
I want to join Sen. Clinton and President Clinton in congratulating Sen. Obama.
Now the three of us move on to February 5th where millions of Americans will cast their vote and help shape the future of this party and help […]

Please Beseech With Me

by sarabeth

I’m worrying a lot that Obama might win the Democratic nomination. This has nothing to do with my personal feelings about the weakness of Obama’s … platform, I guess, for lack of a better word–the whole feel-good “I will bring this country together again by the magnificence of my rhetoric and the magnetic force […]

Clinton in SF - DCCC Fundraiser

by matt

For those in the Bay Area, the DCCC is holding a fundraiser at The Warfield this Wednesday, November 1 featuring Bill Clinton. Musical guests include Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, and others. It’s $100, which is cheap as far as events like this go.
If anyone is planning to go, let me know. If […]

Time for a New Brush

by matt

Sing it:
Republicans, who control the White House and Congress, [former President Bill] Clinton charged “paint themselves as pure and the rest of us who don’t agree with them as stained” in order to divide the country and stay in power.
