Maybe this is why the Republicans wanted Hillary to get the nomination so bad? Can you imagine this coming out right after she got the nomination?
Todd S. Purdum, former New York Times staffer and current Vanity Fair national editor, lets loose in the July issue of the magazine with a lengthy profile of Bill Clinton after leaving the White House.Bill Clinton profile in July Vanity Affair with Angelina Jolie on the cover It's getting reduced to sex in some places -- friends worried that he was spending suspicion-raising time with attractive women on the road -- but there's no smoking gun (to stick with political metaphors), and focusing on speculation about a return to form for the former wanderer-in-chief does the article a disservice.
Purdum, who covered portions of the Clinton administration, offers up a deeply reported look at a primal force in politics facing his own dissipation. Scandal, big-bucks speaking fees, big-bucks pals like Ron Burkle with private planes, but also heart surgery and a clear physical deterioration. Bill Clinton is no longer the man he once was, though he is still a force -- Purdum describes Clinton as "the smiling, snowy-haired man who is the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral he attends."
Lots of questions being raised. Wonder if the Super Delegates will let this influence them in their evaluation of her being the best candidate for the general election. He also writes:
Purdum, who is married to Clinton's former press secretary, Dee Dee Myers, writes:
"To know Clinton is, sooner or later, to be exasperated by his indiscipline and disappointed by his shortcomings. But through it all, it has been easy enough to retain an enduring admiration — even affection — for a president whose sins against decorum and the dignity of his office seemed venial in contrast to the systemic indifference, incompetence, corruption, and constitutional predations of his successor’s administration. That is, easy enough until now.
"This winter, as Clinton moved with seeming abandon to stain his wife’s presidential campaign in the name of saving it, as disclosures about his dubious associates piled up, as his refusal to disclose the names of donors to his presidential library and foundation and his and his wife’s reluctance to release their income tax returns created crippling and completely avoidable distractions for Hillary Clinton’s own long-suffering ambition, I found myself asking again and again, What’s the matter with him?"
Wow bet Hillary will be mad as a wet hen when this hits the street. Maybe Bill should stay in South Dakota with this preview coming out at such a critical time for her.
None of that should be a surprise to anyone with his past. I do think he seems a little more off or something since the bypass surgery, but that can be a one of the effects.

We don't care who gets the nod. The purpose of republicans voting for Hill&Bill (operation chaos) was to help prolong the dem primary fight - forcing them to spend their resources fighting amongst themselves in addition to McCain enjoying the benefits of whatever dirty laundry is exposed.
So far the plan has worked perfectly.
Btw, there is SO MUCH dirt on the clintons, most of it already heard by the public.
The fun has been the "vetting" taking place regarding Obama - with more on the way, you can be sure.
Did you know DeeDee Myers (Mrs. Todd Purdom) as Bill Clinton's press secretary and the first female press secretary ever, had a lower salary than George Stephanopolos, her male predecessor? AND, according to Wikipedia, "her request to have it raised appropriately was refused for budgetary reasons. When she pointed out that a certain male coworker in a position of less responsibility than herself was being paid more, they excused it as because he was older and had a family, which struck her as a disingenuous excuse for the favoritism."
Of course this isnt fair, it wasn't Hillary's fault, but I like the irony.

This is just...so sad.
The plan's worked perfectly? To get Hillary nominated, you mean? Well great job guys.
I think the only plan that's worked perfectly is the Manchurian-style brainwashing job done on you all.

McCain will still lose. So much for Rush's operation chaos

We know and have known for a while that it will be virtually impossible for Hill&Bill to get the nomination.
I don't personally care which one is nominated. McCain will beat either one. Hill&Bill is the devil we know, Obama is the devil we don't know and will have fun in the fall getting to know him.
If Hill&Bill were the nominee, you can be sure that conservatives would come out in droves to vote against her, as well as half the dems and indies.
Obama - well, we already see his weaknesses. There are many.

Ive gotta hand it to Rush Limbaugh and whoever else hammered out this brainwashing plan back in the 90s, it's genius. You're all enraged together, all the time, no matter what the political situation. And you love it. It sustains you. And they drive you like a reliable old car.
I've listened to people like you on the radio, dittoheads and that, but never had the chance to watch one for a sustained period. And there are several here to watch!

So your plan....failed.
