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.

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!

Keep attacking because Clinton still appears to be unbeatable nationally.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
