Jets vs. Sharks
Holy [bleep]! Bill Clinton is losing it.
A prominent supporter of Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday compared Bill Clinton’s appeals for his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, in South Carolina to the tactics used by a former Republican strategist (Lee Atwater) that are infamous within Democratic circles.
When asked about the comparison, the former president reacted with disapproval, saying it was a distraction from what voters really cared about.
That’s putting it mildly. As Michelle reports, he said a lot more than that:
“You live for this. This hurts the people of South Carolina,” he said. “Because the people of South Carolina come to these meetings and ask questions about what they care about. And what they care about is not what’s going to be in the news coverage tonight, because you don’t care about it.”
I know I said this is a street fight, but do we really have to watch a grandpa kicking someone in the nuts?

I’m so sickened by the Clintons at this point — I’m having the same reaction to them as I’ve been having to Bush for a while – immediately switching channels once their faces surface or the newscasters parrot the latest from their mouths. I now understand why Republicans hate them so bitterly, why the country became so polarized, and why the US ultimately put Bush with a stupid but honest image into office after Clinton’s administration. None of this had made sense to me before. As a party loyalist, I had just, well, tuned out and dismissed what my Republican friends said about the Clintons as just being partisan, but seeing their behavior now with open eyes and ears as just a candidate to be evaluated within my own party — I must say I’m repulsed. I had no idea they were such slime. I remember the prayer group that Hillary had belonged to during Bill’s cheating years, and the sympathy of course I felt, but I now wonder, was that an act, too? How can anyone with a shred of conscience behave the way that she and her husband are behaving? God save America.
