Clinton at the DNC

Counterposing a gargoyle photo next to Willy usually helps clarify his affinity with the netherworld. But as he ages, his crimes & lies are catching up with him & the gargoyle isn’t necessary. He brings his own. In order to endorse Obama & his record of achievements (stellar for the banks/a disaster for working people), Mr. Death-Warmed-Over had to parse “is” in the same old way he used in the sex scandal that took up much of his regime. Media is declaring him an elder statesman & blithering on about what a master tactician (i.e., operator) he is. They also incredibly talk about his charisma. Charisma has taken quite a beating in the White House. Apparently the flattery made Mr. Death-Warmed-Over think he could enthrall an audience of Obama fans for nearly an hour. Well “It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is & never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement." His rhetorical skills are no match for his deceptive arts & both are wearing thin. (Photo by Charles Dharapak/AP)
