Bill on negative campaigning, from Politico:
Clinton also let his audience glimpse the scars of his White House years.
“Nobody would like it better than us if you could get that personal vilification out of there, because nobody’s been vilified more than we have,” he said, after noting that he thought Hillary and McCain could run a respectful campaign. “One of the problems with laying down and turning the other cheek is McCain had one dose of it. They gave it to us for eight years.”
And the fact of the matter is, independent voters think you’re polarizing if someone else attacks you, even if that someone is Rush Limbaugh, even if you’ve been totally exonerated of every single charge ever leveled against you, which Hillary was  and some people forgot to tell you about that,” he said, jabbing again at the press.
“Nobody would be happier to see all this go away than us. But you can’t ask somebody who is at a breathtaking disadvantage in the information coming to the voters to ignore that disadvantage and basically agree to put bullets in their brains,” he said.
But George Bush is just divisive by nature. And Haditha? That’s still getting big play, too, right?

Hillary so bad wants to be attacked by Obama. Bill is all about dressing her up in teh provocative clothes. He’s either forgotten about Kitty Genovese or maybe he hasn’t.

“because nobody’s been vilified more than we have”
He’s either never heard of Abraham Lincoln, or all he knows about him is that he freed the slaves (which, of course, he didn’t).

Great Gaia knows the Clinton’s are always victims!….. It is helpful to remember the media attack report citing Ms. Inevitable as being the most victimized counts all the Hsu stories too.
Comment by steveaz on 1/5 @ 9:28 am #
Bill redacted: “Vote for Hillary because she is the biggest VICTIM.”
Sounds like Bill thinks Hill’s likeability will benefit from a bit of victimology.
As if we voters are sayin’, “Me…I’d eat some of that meat but only if it’s slathered in some of that there “special” victim-sauce.”

Dan, You hit the nail on the head. Fuck you Bill. I’m not a huge fan of either Clinton or Bush, but that Clinton quote about nobody being more vilified than him and the Missus is complete bullshit. All I’ve heard for the past 7 years is how, take your pick, A) Dumb B) Evil C)Religiously superstitious Bush is. Bill Clinton being a martyr? Unbelievable.

If by exonerated you mean she was allowed to just say she didnt know, forgot, or had no idea how, and then get away with whatever charge was thrown at her then yes.

And on the shallower side, I don’t think it helps much that she laughs like the riddler.

But you can’t ask somebody who is at a breathtaking disadvantage in the information coming to the voters to ignore that disadvantage and basically agree to put bullets in their brains,†he said.
This was the biggest laugher right there. They are at such a disadvantage that they have the ability to get the democrat leadership of both the House and the Senate to write ABC letters threatening to pull their broadcast license if they air a reportedly unfavorably documentary about 9/11. Result: ABC edits the documentary before broadcast. Bill and Hillary reportedly threaten to cut off access to GQ magazine if GQ publishes a negative story. Result: GQ pulls the story. Bill and Hillary actually have a broadcast network dedicated to spinning in their favor, CNN, the Clinton News Network. The list goes on and on. The man is living in a fantasy world, but people believe him, just like they still believe he did not have sex with that woman.
Cigars for everyone!

Hey Vince, at least he didn’t say “a Yugoslavian mountainside.”

Bill, you have to learn to work that disadvantage to your advantage. Look at where I started for the Prophet’s sake, pbuh. Democrats and democratic voters love me now and use me as a club over the republicans every chance they get.
Use your noodle Bill. Not the one below your belt.

No to go all gleeny on you, but my take is that was a calculated word image with lots of glory and martyrdom sucking intention. Only extra ducking or preemtive assasin stopping implied on Hillary’s part. Because of the savviness.

Hey, it’s not dirty tricks. It’s Misogyhadi-foxing. Too bad about their madrassa educations and all.

And to think that that man was elected President of the United States.
Twice.

Ooh, I’m typing like I had one too many eucalyptus riccolas. Which, in the morning, have the deep note effect of a Happyfeet remark or a very good cup of coffee. But if dyskinesia cantilations start if you go past eleven.

Eleventy Riccolas, that is. You can’t have too many Hf observations, I don’t think. Or if you can, I would press that lever like a rat in a cocaine experiment.

Sarah, the time to really worry is when people accuse you of channeling Witheld.

Thank you SarahW. Funny how anonymous people can’t be humiliated but that positive stuff can kind of make their day.

There’s a difference between “exonerated” and “destroyed all the evidence for so no conviction was possible.”

Woe, despair, and misery on me!
(Ooooh)
Deep, dark, crashin’ depressin’ misery!
(Ooooh)
If it weren’t for bad luck,
I’d have no luck at all!
(Ooooh)
Gloom, despair, and misery on me!
Ask the shade of Reagan, or George W. Bush (who is still alive) what political vilification is, Bill.
And call up the shade of every former president – I’m sure they would like to ’share their pain’ with you.
Narcissitic asswipe.

Mikey, you need to brush up on your Hee-Haw lyrics:
Gloom, despair, and agony on me!
Deep dark depression, excessive misery!
If it weren’t fo’ bad luck,
I’d have no luck at all!
Gloom, despair, and agony on meeee!

Runnin’ on beer and thirty year old memory, SDN.
But I’ll except the correction – except for the wails (Ooooh) which the other guy would give forth.

I’ve heard it said, and tend to agree, that the more animated, the more determined, the more passionate a statement by Clinton is the bigger the lie.
