Another scripted pre-primary rant from Bill Clinton
Marc Ambinder - Bill Clinton Bitches Out The Media
Excuse the French, but that’s the only word that came to mind when reading a transcript of Bill Clinton responding to a shouted question from Jessica Yellin in South Carolina. I await the video. (Context: ex-SC GOP chair Dick Harpootlian, an Obama supporter, likened Clinton to Lee Atwater.)
“I never heard a word of public complaint when Mr. Obama said Hillary was not truthful, no character, was poll-driven. He had more pollsters than she did.
When he put out a hit job on me at the same time he called her the senator from Punjab, I never said a word. And I don’t care about it today. I’m not upset about it.
The only thing I pointed out was that there was substantially no difference in her record and his on Iraq, and that he had said in 2004 there was no difference between his position and President Bush. And he said that was somehow dishonest, but he never answers how it’s not accurate. So this is crazy.
Pardon me, but Bill Clinton is a f*** a****.
Update: More Self-Pity:
Trailhead : Bill’s Peace Offering
Speaking to a crowd at the Williamsburg County Recreation Center, Bill Clinton just now offered an olive branch:
“If [Barack Obama] wins this nomination, I’m going to do what I can to help him become president.”
The promise comes after a week of bitter exchanges between the former president and the Obama campaign. “After all the mean things they said about me, I can’t believe I’m saying this,” Clinton said.
Let’s get to the finals
