Timing By Freud: Bill Knifes Hillary In The Back On Iraq

Ah, yes, this how it works, isn't it? All you survivors of tangled marriages laden for decades with unexploded depth charges buried in the sands of life and time -- you understand how this works, don't you? Hill has had Bill helplessly pinned down, at an utterly humiliating moral disadvantage, ever since Monica. So long, the time.

There's only so much a guy can take. Especially when, in his raging id, he longs for the throne she is now claiming for her own -- and she expecting him to hold her royal trains as she ascends the summit that once belonged to him.

Suddenly, in a marginal aside, just a subordinate clause in a litany of self indulgence -- out it popped. He knifed her. He didn't mean to do it. He wasn't intending any harm, not consciously. But Slick Willy is always wriggling of hooks. It's his nature. Wriggle, wriggle. That's what he does. The historical weather vane today points against the Iraq war, and Bill just couldn't help but genuflect in its direction.

He was against the Iraq war from the beginning, he said. He slipped it in between a couple of commas. Maybe she won't notice. That's what his reptilian unconscious was telling his slippery soul as he slithered his way through that moment of betrayal.

Yeah. Maybe.

I'm sure he didn't do it deliberately, BUT: this just shows what's gonna happen if she's the nominee and actually gets elected: There will be two presidents jockeying for power, and the poor doofus that sits in the Vice President's chair will have very little to do. That's why I really, really don't want to vote for her......I will if i have to, but I'd much rather vote for Barack.

[brizzle]

I will vote for whichever Democrat wins the nomination...except Hilary. If she wins the Dem nomination, I will vote Independent or Unity08 or some other ticket. I've had enough of Clinton and I don't want another establishment candidate in the White House. I can't take another 4 years of hearing about Bill and Hill...get them out of our media, please!

Just remember...if Hilary is nominated, then elected, we'll be discussing these two ad nauseum...does that sound like moving forward to you? Does that sound like escaping the insiders? Does that sound like something different to you?

Get these two off the stage...let's hear Obama/Edwards for '08!

[poopdeck]

Keep attacking because Clinton still appears to be unbeatable nationally.

[zendem1]

As punishment, Bill had to sleep in the same bed with her for two straight days.

"Slick Willy is always wriggling of hooks."

Wriggling of hooks? We either need a copy editor here or a poetry editor.

Actually, what we need in this country is an opposition party, with critics who loudly denounce the government's mistakes. That, of course, would be democracy " just another quaint notion now, like the Geneva Convention.

"But Slick Willy is always wriggling of hooks."

Bill Kristol, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, is that you? When did HuffPo become a Republican Blog?

As I have said, Democrats eat their own.

Bill understands better than anyone that Hillary is not up to the job. Her world view is so incredibly limited and her blind ambition to be President is so strong that she would be a major danger to families like mine who have members in the military. So Bill, who simply is far too intelligent and calculating to have uttered that comment by accident, raised the issue upon which Hillary is most vulnerable -- her judgment.

Even if he took the position he took as a former President, that didn't require Hillary to ignore the overwhelming intelligence at the time that Saddam had no WMDs, was an enemy of al Qaeda and that an Iraq invasion would be a calamity for the U.S. More than half of her Party in Congress (both Houses) voted against enabling Bush. Then she did it again on Kyl-Lieberman.

Bill does not want her to be President because he is opposed to stupid wars like Iraq, while she would go to war as soon as the Republicans put pressure on her. He can't publicly oppose her, so he tries to act like a bumbler.

[IowaGirl]

I fail to see how it hurts Hillary if Bill makes this claim. I assumed that he was on message and doing that thing the Clintons do: trying to make it look like they're on EVERYONE's side. You are supposed to get the impression that she was just pulled along by the angry tides of war, but with Bill had MAJOR misgivings in private. A shame she is on record in so many places of being absolutely belligerently pro-war. I can't believe how many Democrats are forgetting that now.

[cultkicker]

Bill needs to STFU. This election is about HILLARY, NOT BILL. I know his ego must be hurting, but we need to hear from HILLARY, NOT BILL.

Thanks for listening.

[FirstShirt]

I am more sad than amused. I feel sorry for them. That sort of duplicity is an eloquent commentary on their relationship. No matter how you dress up a pig, it's still a pig.

[MPeter]

Hill and Bill deserve each other. They lie and betray so easily, America should not have anything to do with them again. Shillary is too shrill and slippery, she will put America through hell. Send her back to Walmart before it is too late.

[vippy]

I never ever fell for that lie. You want to tell me that our CIA, the best intel apparatus in the world, who have the capability to identify a dime in anyone's wallet, did not know
about the non-existing WMDs in Iraq. Come on now, surely you knew too. And Bush was talking
that Saddam still had a chance while our tanks rolled onto the railroads. And why did the press not pick up on it? Seems to me, they are
all controlled of what they can report or not.

[Doofus]

Be sure to let us know when Bill plans
to announce support for The Terrible 2!

Kucinich/Paul - Tag Team 2008 - They Are The 1!

It's only a matter of time.

[Countess]

But she has such experience! She worked with Slick Willy all those years and now she is showing what she learned and people do not like what they are seeing. She probably will do one more complete makeover before this is over so hold on.

[rucognizant]

Yes, It's what COA (CHildren of Alcoholic's) do.
There's that unconscious just lurking waiting to
replicate the parental template!
( Takes one to know one!)
We have another potential undermining mate waiting in the wings...Michelle Obama!
SHE pressured, ( blackmailed) Barak, by committing him to quit smoking, while in the national spotlight and trying to run a presidential campaign! BIG NO NO!
Edwards for President!

[StillAmused]

Project much, Mr. DeZengotita?

Your superficial, "popular narrative" psychobabble betrays more apparent torment in your own "raging id" than that which it seeks to portray in Bill Clinton. In case you haven't noticed, he's a soaring success in his post-Presidency and the beneficiary of more adulation than most could handle.

I watched the C-SPAN tour -- with Clinton -- of his library and was reminded of his depth of knowledge, broad engagement in public affairs and sheer intellect -- and the clear pleasure he is deriving from his ventures. He hardly struck me as the insecure, retaliatory and jealous paper cutout you paint with your undisguised vitriol.

He also reminded me that I can respect those qualities in a flawed human being -- since I am also flawed -- rather than seeking out reassuring empty suits who try to portray themselves as flawless.

With thanks to 'SensibleAmerican' for pointing it out, I urge readers to absorb the detailed, searing and irrefutable analysis offered by David Fiderer in his HuffPo blog:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-fiderer/chris-matthews-rewrites-h_b_75089.html

If the media -- and, by extension, the electorate -- choose to buy into a careless, paint-by-numbers version of events surrounding and leading up to the invasion and occupation of Iraq and prefer to giggle at half-formed, revisionist accounts of those events, it is through sheer intellectual laziness.

If there is any domestic crisis in America, it is the epidemic of uncritical thinking that feeds on slogans, pot-shots and facile narratives -- because reasoning involves effort and intellectual honesty.

[MRb1000]

This remind me of the Saturday Night Live skit for Halloween. Remember the part where Bill insist she is dress up as a witch instead of a bride. LOL

[katiekat489]

Slick Willie and Slithering Hillary--the dynamic washed up duo. Time to retire and go peacefully in the good night.You had your time and now it is time for a true Dem and progresssive.We have had enough of your damage and despicable friends.
Do think that it was not a slip--he really wants to stick a shiv in at some point=think there is passive/aggressive behavior on his part towards her for a long time,jees he can not even stand to live with her.

[Tellmethetruth]

I took the trouble to go back over CNN and Meet the Press media transcripts from 2002 and 2003 - specifically the role that Joe Biden and Chuck Hegal played on the foreign relations committee.

In July of 2002 - Joe Biden and Chuck Hegel began a Congressional Investigation of Bush's build up of 200,000 troops in the Middle East. In July of 2002, all Congress had were questions without the intelligence to support a war without doing an investigation. http://biden.senate.gov/newsroom/details.cfm?id=188293&&

In the Fall of 2002, Powell went before the UN with the "case for war" and the UN agreed to send in inspectors.

In October Congress passed the Bush Resolution to have war contingent upon the UN inspector's report as to whether Saddam had WMDs.

In January Bush in the State of the Union Address made the case for war not based upon the UN inspector's findings (which hadn't happened yet) but upon the CIA and British intelligence findings (bogus now - Plamegate)

In the beginning of March - two weeks before the war was to begin, it was common knowledge on the Hill that no WMDs existed although the UN inspections had not been done. Biden appeared on Chris Matthews who questioned him about this. Senator Kennedy and Kucinich made speeches saying there were no WMDs. Bush made public statements Iraq needed a regime change, and the reason for war was to get rid of Saddam. Biden made a public statement in the Washington Post and on Chris Matthews that if the reason for war was changing (the goal post was being moved) that Bush needed to go back the UN and negotiate a new UN resolution. Bush stated a new reason for going to war was to get rid of Saddam and to establish democracy in Iraq. France, the EU, Turkey, Egypt, dropped support of US. Bush declares we would go it alone. Two weeks later Bush bombs Iraq. Any hope of having a debate within Congress or the UN to stop the war was gone.

This is sooo fuunneee - and incontrovertibly true!

[VicPerry]

Gee, what exactly is the problem? To hear Hillary supporters tell it, SHE was against the war too. Why, it's just that vast right-wing conspiracy again, and the "hillary haters," and the misogynists, and the media, and (fill in the blank) and (fill in some more blanks) who are spreading the utter utter LIE that Hillary hasn't just always been on the right - I mean, correct - side of everything, all along.

[MRb1000]

Well the master fagan is teaching his wife how to be slick. She is trying to win his approval by trying to be slicker. Wow an Oliver Twist story.

[Lis]

Yes, it makes one wonder how many times she let the f-word fly when she got wind of that one.
