The Divine Comedy minus Ronald Reagan

How interesting that so many world celebrities were included in the “Famous People Painting.” Why there’s Bill Clinton, but where is President Ronald Reagan? Don’t both looking, as he was omitted! Who was a greater influence on world history? Was it Bill Clinton and the infamous blue dress, or Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism? Was it Bill Clinton who saved his own hide, or Ronald Reagan who saved millions of humans from the degradation of slavery? It’s okay, Margaret Thatcher WAS included. Bill Clinton has his beloved saxophone, but I have no idea why he is holding a peeled banana aloft. Or is that a cigar?

Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante

The Divine Comedy (available for “free” listening at Librivox.org) by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882).

“I, me, I, my, I, me, my, I, me, me, me.”
And if you notice my speech you are a bigot! Not only are you a hurtful bigot, but you are petty besides! Bill Clinton used almost as many “I, me, I, my, I, me, my, I, me, me, me’s” in his speech, and you loved it; couldn’t get enough of it. Give me a break why doncha? Narcissists have feelings too.

So what that you are not a narcissist. I am, so get used to it! You should show a bit of compassion towards those who are narcissists, such as “me, me, me, me,” President-Elect Barack Obama. Narcissists cannot help themselves from being narcissists, so attacking me for being narcissistic is a form of bigotry.

“Ah, ah, ah, um, um, ah, a, a, a, um” why cannot I say three “Ah, ah, ah, um, um, ah, a, a, a, um” words without an “ah” between them? Why do I stutter whenever I talk without a teleprompter? Somehow, it is your fault, America. Get used to it. Afterall, I’m a Harvard-educated lawyer and you are not. I’m the King and you are not!

The Hidden Dangers of John McCain

That renowned military expert and former commander in chief of all United States Military Forces, BILL CLINTON, has surreptitiously warned us, while speaking at Aspen Colorado, that electing JOHN MCCAIN as president could be very dangerous. CLINTON implies that because JOHN MCCAIN was a Prisoner of War in Vietnam for many years, he could snap at any moment in the future and lose his temper.

HORRORS of all HORRORS! Even worse, JOHN MCCAIN could go berserk while hosting a state dinner, or even while wagging his finger at the nation on national TV. JOHN MCCAIN could become a full blown psychopath leading a nation with nukes. IMAGINE THAT? Well at least JOHN McCAIN will have an honorable excuse for his mental disturbances - he was serving his country as a young man in wartime. So what is former President BILL CLINTON’s excuse is for being a psychopath with a fiery temper? He was never anywhere near a military uniform, much less a war zone, in his youth.

Most unfortunately, the nation did not have the expertise and guidance of BILL CLINTON to keep it from electing a former POW back in the days of President “OLD HICKORY.” Without the “insane” leadership of the man who had fought for his country in two wars, including a stint where both he and his brother were taken as prisoners of war, our nation would undoubtedly be a better one today. It was President OLD HICKORY who did indeed go berserk and create “The Democrat Party.”

Bill Clinton Warns of Mental Problems of Former POWs

But I know he did - I read it on a bumper sticker: “Bush Lied, People Died.“

If Bush didn’t lie - who did? JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER … that’s who!

The news is out all over town. Bush never lied about the intelligence he received after the Attack on America. It was West Virginie’s good Senator John D. Rockefeller the Fourth, chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, who LIED!

Senator Rockefeller lied through his teeth when he said that the Bush administration “repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when it was unsubstantiated, contradicted or even nonexistent.”

Bush told the truth; Rockefeller lied. “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple,” by Fred Hiatt of the Washington Post proves it.

The 100% phony “Bush lied” story was concocted by Rockefeller to distract from his own prewar incompetence and failure to lead. The intelligence upon which the brand new President Bush and his administration relied was horrifically false. After eight years of the Clinton administration’s stewardship of the CIA and Senator Rockefeller’s overseeing of the Select Committee on Intelligence, we were doomed.

So … what else was left for Senator Rockefeller to do but to cover his sorry rear? He came up with the bumper sticker slogan - “Bush Lied” and the rest is a sad chapter of rewriten history, as many Americans believed Rockefeller’s outrageous subterfuge. Read the story at WaPo and weep. Then be man enough to scrape that lying bumper sticker off of your car. Here’s a new bumper sticker for ya: “ROCKEFELLER LED - 3000 DEAD!”

“Into the Valley of Death, rode the two Clintons”

The Charge of the Clinton Brigade … and Obama’s Victory

I
Clintons to the right of him,

Clintons to the left of him,

Clintons behind him

Barack watched his back.

They storm’d him with shot and shell,

While preachers and pastors fell,

Proof that he fought so well

He escaped thro’ the jaws of Bill,

And threw Hillary asunder,

All that was left of them,

Left of the Clintons.

II
Flash’d all their sabres bare,

Flash’d as they turn’d in air

Sabring the gunners there,

Charging an Chomping, while

All the world wonder’d:

Plunged in the back room smoke

Right thro’ the line they broke;

Hillary and President Bill

Reel’d from the sabre-stroke

Shatter’d and sunder’d.

Then they turned tail and ran, but not …

Not the same Clintons.

III
When can their glory fade?

O the wild charge they made!

All the world wonder’d.

Honour the charge they made!

Honour the Narcissist Brigade,

The Noblesse Oblige Clintons!

Into the Valley of Death, rode the two Clintons.

If Bill Clinton was the “First Black President,” what will Barack Obama be when he is elected?

South Dakota native and former Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern gave us the answer when he joined Barack Obama campaigning in Sioux Falls. Senator McGovern declared “Obama Is a Second ‘Lincoln’.”

During good Senator McGovern’s 1972 Democratic presidential campaign a young Hillary Clinton worked her heart out as a political organizer in South Texas for him. He described Bill and Hillary Clinton as “my treasured friends all these years,” and the former Senator became an ardent supporter of her presidential bid. However, when the going got tough for Hillary, and she lost the state of North Carolina, Senator McGovern flip-flopped for his “treasured friend.” He is now a big supporter of Obama. As McGovern spoke to a crowd of 7,000, and with his words placed Obama upon the same pedestal that Abraham Lincoln has occupied all of these last many scores of years, Republicans were chortling in their sleeves.

While George McGovern was describing Barack Obama as “a second Abraham Lincoln,” Republicans were seeing Obama as a second George McGovern, an antiwar liberal about to be blown away in a wartime general election by a strong national defense candidate. Years ago it was Richard Nixon, the hawk, who defeated peacenik George McGovern with electoral college totals of 520 to 17, in the second biggest landslide in American history. Like the Democrats’ Al Gore after him, George McGovern did not even win his home state.

Barack Obama - “America’s Second George McGovern.”

Obama - A Second Lincoln

She Can Dish It Out, But She Can’t Take It!

Senator Barack Obama called Republican tactics of criticising his wife’s political comments as “low class” and “detestable.” On “Good Morning America” the senator and his wife Michelle were discussing his (their) race for the White House, when the Illinois senator told the television audience that the hardball political tactics that are acceptable when aimed for the gander, are unacceptable when targeted at the goose. “… I also think these folks should lay off my wife,” he told “Good Morning America,” as his wife Michelle chuckled.

“The GOP, should I be the nominee, I think can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record,” Obama said. “I’ve been in public life for 20 years. I expect them to pore through everything that I’ve said, every utterance, every statement. And to paint it in the most undesirable light possible. That’s what they do. But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable,” he said.”

While the GOP is forbidden by the Obamas from attacking Michelle Obama’s political statments, the Obama campaign is well within the bounds of “decency and class” to attack the spouse of Hillary Clinton for statements that he has made while campaigning for his wife. Obama’s campaign roundly condemned spouse Bill Clinton for calling Obama’s lack of experience “a roll of the dice“, for describing Obama’s opposition to the war as a “fairy tale“, and for his comparison of Obama to Jesse Jackson after South Carolina primary. General McPeak, of the Obama campaign, proclaimed that Bill Clinton was just another Joe McCarthy. At the same time that the GOP must “lay off” the wife of Obama, the DNC has promised that the tax returns of the wife of Senator John McCain will be an issue during the general election. (”DNC Targets Cindy McCain“)

When Michelle Obama makes campaign speeches about being proud of her country for the first time in her adult life, no one on the other side of the political spectrum may criticise those remarks lest the Obamas label them as “low class” and “detestable.” No one may point out that while Obama was NOT listening to Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s preachings from the pulpit, his wife Michelle was. How else to explain that her attitude is so similar to that of their Pastor and spiritual mentor? Obviously Michelle WAS listening when the Reverend Wright was preaching racism and hatred against White America.

However, to make that point is not acceptable to the elitist Obamas, for to their minds, when spouse Michelle injects her words into national politics, the Hoi Polloi is expected to listen, not criticise, lest they pierce the delicate thin skin of Mrs. Obama. Or as the Illinois Senator himself says: “Because that I find unacceptable.”

The Boys Are Holding Her Back!

Hillary’s right. And so is Elton John. Obama and “the boys” are holding her back from becoming the world’s first female U.S president. Maureen Dowd, who can cut to the quick of the Clintons better than anyone alive, also agrees in her column in the New York Times today. Ms. Dowd writes that it is true “And the worst part is, they’re her own boys!”

“The boys” are destroying the Clinton dream of going down in history as the Roosevelts and the Adams of the 21st century. And one of the boys doing the destroying is her own husband, Diamond Tongued Bill.

“Standing by His Woman”

When Bill Clinton talks, people listen

When Bill Clinton talks, he reveals the deep dark secrets of the Clintons. Before now, no one knew that his wife Hillary had commanded a Navy “Swift Boat” during the Vietnam War.

During last week’s Democrat Presidential debate both Senator Barack Obama and Senator John Edwards criticized Senator Hillary Clinton for wanting to give New York State drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants. The former U.S. President who just happens to be Senator Hillary’s present husband came to her rescue, slamming his wife’s rivals for distorting her military record. President Bill Clinton said they were “swiftboating” Hillary.

Obama told the Associated Press that he was “stunned” by the former president’s statement. “How you would then draw an analogy to distorting somebody’s military record is a reach,” he said. Dodd called Bill Clinton’s remarks “outrageous.” “To have the former president come out and suggest this is a form of swiftboating … is way over the top in my view,” Dodd told the AP.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign singled out Obama and said he was taking her husband’s comments out of context to score cheap points. “Sen. Obama is well aware that the former president was saying that the Republicans will do anything to play politics with a serious issue,” spokesman Phil Singer said in an email.

American Politics 2007: Senator Clinton is in favor of illegal immigrants having the same rights as legal New Yorkers and if anyone condemns her for that stand, they are accused of distorting her military record which no one even knew was a part of her history. Then, in the most outrageous obfuscation of it all, her campaign claims it was a set-up by the Republicans who were not even there. It was a Democrat debate.

That’s why they talk about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, I guess.

This One Riles the Republicans.

In response to the carping of Democrats over his non-pardon of White House aide Scooter Libby, President George Bush has “turned the tables” on the Dems and pardoned the Impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Bush went even further than anyone expected by pardoning both Bill and Hillary Clinton for the 140 pardons that Clinton signed on his last day in the White House.

“I want to be known as the ‘Pardoning’ President”, Bush explained at a press conference announcing this unexpected turn of events. “If I can pardon illegal aliens for breaking the laws of our country, then certainly I can pardon one former president for doing likewise. Afterall, I am a Christian and so is he and our faith teaches us to ‘turn the other cheek.’ I am pardoning both Clintons for their Presidential pardons and I am pardoning them for being hypocrites also. I am just a pardoning kinda guy.”

“Never again will my predecessor have to endure the indignity of being addressed as the ‘impeached Former President.’ And never again will my press secretary and my remaining fifteen Republican supporters be able to refer to the Clintons as hypocrites for condemning my non-pardon when they committed 140 pardons themselves on their very last day in office.”

“I’m President now and I am granting Bill Clinton a full and complete Presidential Pardon. Not only will I grant the pardon to Bill, I will grant a pardon to his gracious and lovely wife Hillary, as well. I wish them Godspeed in their self-righteous quest to begin a new Clinton dynasty in America. May their daughter Chelsea follow their footsteps in service to our nation. For this reason I am pardoning Hillary Clinton for her eight years as a co-president so there will be no Constitutional hindrance whatsoever to her serving another eight years when she is elected to the U.S. Presidency.”

Pardoner President of the United States of America
