Bubba Trouble: The Comeback Id: Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair:

Old friends and longtime aides are wringing their hands over Bill Clinton's post-White House escapades, from the dubious (and secretive) business associations to the media blowups that have bruised his wife's campaign, to the private-jetting around with a skirt-chasing, scandal-tinged posse. Some point to Clinton's medical traumas; others blame sheer selfishness, and the absence of anyone who can say "no." Exploring Clintonworld, the author asks if the former president will be consumed by his own worst self.

Times up. The Clinton era is over. Thank God!!

Bye-Bye Bill. You are no longer relevant. As one who voted for you twice, I feel you should have been so happy with what you had, that you should have just disappeared quietly into that good night. But you were not content with your high positive approval ratings, even after all the trouble you had gotten yourself into, and all the embarrassment you had caused us, which led us to 8 years of the worst president in history. You were greedy, and you wanted more! You always wanted more!!! So you pushed and you pushed, and you lied and you exaggerated, and you pointed your finger, and you made up stories, with your face turning red. And meanwhile, a younger, nicer, more intelligent, sweeter man with REAL integrity came along, and took your place in your party and in the hearts of Democrats, and even Independents and some Republicans. It's time for you to make your farewells, Bill. Try to exit the stage gracefully, before you embarrass yourself anymore than you already have. Your wife doesn't have a chance, and you are finished. Just go away. You had your time in the limelight, and now you're finished!

"The Comebackid", hey that's my moniker!

I've been plagiarized!

Yes, I believe that Bill has become his own enemy and has at one stage or another
doomed her chances in this race by ill chosen words and angry outbursts. He should
have known better but thought that the American people had wiped the slate clean on
his own past troubles and scandals. Unfortunately for him, I think that his tirades just
brought many unpleasant memories back.

Hillary Clinton celebrated with the Daughters of the Confederacy their accomplishments while she was in the White House in 1994.
These women are committed to continued injustices of the past ie segregation, separate and unequal access and racism.
Obviously, through association Hillary subscribes to their mission. She's not being hammered to answer questions about her association with the Daughters of the Confederacy. Why?

Hillary will do anything. She's immoral and unethical.

If you want to assign everything that comes out of the mouth of people who are out of the control of Obama, then you must be fair with your assessments.

Hillary isn't being asked to renounce her church because she is pro choice and her church is against a woman's right to choose.

Why should Obama be held to a higher standard. That sounds like discrimination to me.

Hagee and Parsley have said many more racist comments that the MSM is not willing to expose and do not run sound clips of them over, and over, and over, and over again Why?

It's sad to see someone who was once so well-regarded fall so far, so fast. Sadder still how completely he doesn't seem to "get it."

[bluesnot]

Eight pages? Whew, that's a long article.

Sounds like the battle is for relevance.

Anyone who would hire Ickes to represent him/herself has got a screw loose. Both Hillary and Bill seem to have lost it. Or maybe they never had it, and we just thought they were capable.

[razorblade]

Yeah, but that box of damning information on the Clintons that Harold has under his bed makes for a mighty powerful job application.

They probably felt it was well worth the price to keep him quiet.

Bill Clinton, I have no idea of what you are all about.

You have turned out to be a deceitful lying scoundrel whose fear of losing has made you abandon your integrity and decency.

Apparently you stand for nothing. Your only goal seems to be gaining power. I have never heard you say anything derogatory about the war or your wifes idiotic vote supporting Bush's war?

Thank goodness you will no longer command the stage or hold the reins of power, your time has passed, perhaps a visit to Plains Georgia might be helpful, it will teach you how a former president should act.
