Wow. the hypocrisy reflected in this article is stunning in its completeness:
Let me get this straight. "The Clintons?" Meaning more than one? Meaning Slick Willie, along with Hillary? Are disgusted with Weiner? AYFKM?
Hey, Slick! You remember that little foray or two you actually had with Monica? In the Oval Office, with a cigar and what was surely a "happy ending" for you?
And you have the unmitigated gall to be "disgusted" with Weiner for his own reprehensible behavior, that included publicly lying about his tweets and photos and other shit he spread around the innerwebz like the goober dust you spread on Monica's dress?
But wait, there's more!
Give me a ****ing break, Slick. Let those who are without sin cast the first stone -- so put that rock down, Slick. You haven't earned the right to castigate anyone for anything, Mr. Impeached-but-not-convicted, Mr. Former President-who-was-disbarred-from-the-state-of-Arkansas.
****ing asshat.
I'm not defending Clinton, but I think there is a bit of a difference...several differences.
The main one difference....I think, don't know for sure....is something that many people have surmised - or alluded to as fact - for years, and that is Bill and Hillary have some sort of agreement with regards to his fooling around. Theirs is a political team, more than a "love match"...and she either just accepts his cattin' around, or they both do it, but she is much more adept at keeping her liasons private.
If so, Bill's only "sin" as far as Hillary was concerned...is that he got caught. Then lied. And so on. And almost completely destroyed their joint political ambitions. His actions, may have been why she didn't win the presidential nomination and Obama did.
Personally, I don't understand how any married couple can have this type of agreement, but there are many that do.
Huma has a close professional relationship with Hillary, which means that Bill would also know her quite well, and since she is not much older than their daughter....I would think they are reacting not only in a professional manner - especially since Hillary was also being mentioned by the media - or the comedians - everytime Huma was mentioned....but also as parental figures towards Huma. Kind of a "I can do what I do and it's none of your business (
), but you better not do it to my daughter" type attitude. Add in Huma being pregnant, which I'm sure both Clintons knew, and they are going to react even more negatively towards Weiner. No political person who wants to stay on the Clintons "friend list" is going to defend Weiner.
There's also something about what Weiner was doing - trolling the internet and sending out explicit pix of himself - that just reeks of nasty. Just trying to see who will respond to him. ewww.
I don't believe for a minute that Monica or any other woman was coerced by Clinton. He's a powerful man, who is , to many women, considered quite sexy and had willing women.
A guy goes to a prostitute...it is what it is. Both parties are aware it's a "business transaction" so to speak.
A guy or woman, pick up a stranger in a bar...both are well aware of what's going on.
But trolling on the internet, for whatever reason he was doing it...that's just creepy nasty. Who knows who all is going to come out of the woodwork - so to speak - that he's had contact with.
I'm waiting to see who's going to come forward that he's had personal contact with....not just internet content. If he sent semi-nude pictures online from his office showing the pictures on his credenza, and he didn't hide his identity - in fact he seemed to flaunt it - I'm sure he's gone farther than just "chatting" or "tweeting".
