You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet

That bastion of conservative thought, The Nation, published this little editorial today by William Greider titled Slick Willie Rides Again. Here’s some snips:

The recent roughing-up of Barack Obama was in the trademark style of the Clinton years in the White House. High-minded and self-important on the surface, smarmily duplicitous underneath, meanwhile jabbing hard to the groin area. They are a slippery pair and come as a package. The nation is at fair risk of getting them back in the White House for four more years. The thought makes me queasy.

[...]

The style is very familiar to official Washington, not just among the Clintons’ partisan adversaries, but among their supporters. The man lied to his friends. All the time. They got used to it. They came expect it. I observe a good many old hands among the Senate Democrats are getting behind Obama. It would be good to know more about why they declined to make the more obvious choice of endorsing the power couple.

Hillary says that she can fight the mean machine of GOP better than Obama. I don’t believe it for one second. If this is what fellow liberals are thinkin, think what the well oiled GOP will bring up.

This recent exchange and, most importantly, Bill’s big fucking mouth, will remind the country that we’ve already seen this flick. Not for a minute do I think the country wants to relive the 90’s when we think about it in those terms.
