Bill Clinton Tells It Like It Is
The media can do their best to make Bill Clinton less popular, but the fact of the matter is that Bill still is very popular, that’s one, and two that he’s right that the only thing they care about are soundbites and that the media should, perhaps, for a change, focus on the issues and less on self-created controversies. By the way, the CNN headline is quite a distortion. Watch the video yourself. Clinton’s very calm, and not lashing out at anyone. He’s right. Again, watch the video. Even CDS sufferers have to acknowledge that he’s dead-on.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors

The print headline and the one above the video used the words "upset" and "rebukes the media", respectively. I don’t see the distortion there- he was calm, yes, but he was clearly upset, and he did in fact rebuke the media. No one really seems to be criticizing him for it this time, because he was calm- it’s the pattern of behavior where he gets really testy that have caused people to say he should pipe down.
He is right about how the media is manipulated by campaigns, but like I said the other day this is schadenfreude for conservatives, to watch the Dems do to each other what they’d normally do to us. There’s infighting on both sides this year, but honestly I think this is the nastiest fighting on the Dem side that I recall, and the phrase ‘hoisted by their own petard’ comes to mind when you see them having to deal with racism allegations and other identity politics that they’d normally use against the GOP.
So while I agree with him, I don’t have any sympathy for him. Is that enough to make me non-deranged?
Bill has said that if Obama wins the nomination then Bill will be so grand and forgiving he’ll help him under the campaign, despite how mean Obama’s campaign has been! Bill is a frigging Deinonychus in disguise, with the admittance that a Deinonychus probably has a larger capacity for shame.
