Bill Maher warns Hillary Clinton not to overexpose, that She might peak early. Might the Get Clinton Sleazbos face the same potential pitfall? The Huffington Post has a creepy ad for Mark Halprin's book, which is supposed to be about all the things the Clinton's have done since Bill left office and yet has a picture of Monica Lewinsky. Did She donate to his Foundation? <br /> Whatever. Seasoned watchers of sleaze bucket Clinton haters might recall the Paradise Abandoned: The Marc Rich Pardon, and the other pardon "scandals." Bill O"Reilly, who Bob now credits as being a reasonable guy, wanted to send Bill to prison for it. The point is these jackasses are the boys who have primal screamed Wolf over nonsense for so many times over The Clintons that no serious person takes them seriously. They will convince some dopes not to vote for Hillary, but not enough. <br /> Anyway, nice to see Bob go way back and spank Mark Sheilds. He took some wildly cheap shots at Hillary in the Primary and it was always odd to me that Bob gave him a pass.

It's called man bites dog. Had FDR foresworn conventional business suits and tried to look like Huey Long or Pancho Villa, Henry Mencken would have been nonfeasant if he'd said nothing about it.<br /><br />Politicians package themselves like bags of Oreos. When they're attempting to convey unspoken messages in their dress, wives, etc., it's part of a journalist's job to put these subliminal ads into words, so the public can have some idea of what's being pulled on them. Howler would have made a better point cataloguing McGrory's constant overemphasis with Gore's wardrobe, assuming she'd been guilty of that, then merely pointing out the time she mentioned his clothes.<br /><br />When is some shallow journalist going to be chided for harping on Rick Perry's quasi-intellecutal frames and Italian loafers?Jeeves Stumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716700263908484003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-8457864806941281032014-07-23T12:02:02.774-04:002014-07-23T12:02:02.774-04:00And from that we learn, with regard to Somerby'...And from that we learn, with regard to Somerby's criticism of the press, what, exactly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-70050328620857810462014-07-23T11:42:05.060-04:002014-07-23T11:42:05.060-04:00Bob pointed out in the link that Graham had confes...Bob pointed out in the link that Graham had confessed to committing a string of armed robberies and a rape.
