Watching Bill Clinton alternately stab Barack Obama in the back and then “apologize” afterward, all the time knowing that nobody will care or remember anything other than his typical double-dealing, reminded me of just how loathsome a whole generation of Democratic office holders have been.
It remains a mystery to me why “Bill” always seems to get a pass no matter whether he’s having sexual relations with a White House intern about his daughter’s age (“I did not have sex with that woman”) or lying to the special prosecutors, or pardoning a rogue’s gallery of criminals that included his own brother! When the Clinton’s left the White House they tried to take enough furniture to furnish their new digs. Hillary then set about to become Senator from New York and to later run for Bill’s old job.
With few exceptions, Democrat “leaders” get forgiveness for almost anything they say or do. The only unforgivable sin among Democrats is to tell the truth, thus straying from the Party line. Just ask Mayor Cory Booker.
The icons of the Liberal landscape always remind me of former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards who once told a reporter that the only thing that could keep him from being reelected was to be found “in bed with a dead woman or a live boy.” In 200l, after having served four terms on and off, he was sentenced to ten years in prison on charges of racketeering.
While Edwin Edwards was a charming rogue, another Edwards, a one-time candidate for Vice President of the United States, Sen. John Edwards was nothing more than an ambulance-chasing attorney and an adulterer who fathered a child while his wife was dying of cancer. Thanks to a mistrial, he walks among the free, but let us not forget the man who chose him to share the 2004 ticket, the equally loathsome John Kerry, a former Vietnam War protester who testified in 1971 that his fellow soldiers were guilty of war crimes and than tried to pass himself as a war hero!
Recall, too, Sen. Dick Durbin who, during the Iraq war, compared U.S. soldiers guarding Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo to Nazis.
These men are all Democrats and all Liberals.
In a sane world, men like these would never be elected to office, nor be reelected, but Clinton, Kerry, Edwards, and others have been routinely returned to power. Bill Clinton, of course, was subject to Constitutional term limits. The other exception was New York Congressman Anthony Weiner who was exposed for sending lewd photos exposing himself via the Internet. He was trying to strike up a relationship with some woman while his wife was pregnant! His constituents in a formerly heavily Democratic district replaced him with a Republican in order to get rid of the stench.
I half expect John Edwards to be offered an opportunity to host a television show like the former Governor of New York, Elliot Spitzer, otherwise known as “Client 9” of a prostitution ring and who resigned with his dutiful, betrayed wife by his side. Spitzer has since gone from the near moribund CNN to the depths of Al Gore’s TV channel, Current.
Al Gore rivals the late Sen. Teddy Kennedy for loathsomeness
