FFS. Probably one of the biggest political junkies of all time and someone who tried (and failed) to pass health care reform won’t attend a free clinic because Keith Olbermann made it too political?
Oh for good god damned sakes you have got to be kidding me. Earth to Bill Clinton: This shit has been political from day one. Don’t go all weak kneed on us now. You’re doing nobody any favors by making lame attempts to be above the fray. Get in the game or go the hell back to Arkansas and drive your AstroTurf™ lined El Dorado in the fucking parade.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton and Barack Obama talked by phone Monday morning, the Obama campaign and a Clinton spokesman said.
Clinton said he is prepared to campaign for Obama after the hard-fought primary campaign between Obama and Hillary Clinton, the Obama campaign said.
Obama “had a terrific conversation with President Clinton and is honored to have his support in this campaign,” said campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
Clinton “renewed his offer to do whatever he can to ensure Sen. Obama is our next president,” said Matt McKenna, communications director the Clinton Foundation.
Sources tell me this story was pushed to the Telegraph from the U.S. via conservatives so that the U.S. media would pick it up and run with it and create a narrative. So much for that.
There. I said it. Don’t look for me to apologize for it either. It won’t happen. I think she just crossed my threshold of whether or not I’d support her in anything ever again. I don’t want her as VP. I don’t want her as a Senator. I don’t want her cleaning out the lint trap in my shower.
I’m fucking done with you, Hillary. You fucking bitch.
Her latest reason for staying in a race that she has zero hope of winning and which continues to divide Democrats and give cover to those who would cut off their nose to spite their feminist faces is that Barack Obama might be assassinated in June. Bobby Kennedy was. Her husband didn’t end it until June. She doesn’t understand it.
Fuck you, you bitch.

I will be ready and waiting for Modern Esquire and the merry band of Hillary apologists to defend this one. Go ahead. Try.
Un-fucking-believable!
Every damned uncommitted super delegate better get off their ass and stop this shit. The time is NOW. How much more damage can she do?
I’m absolutely sick to my stomach right about now.
I vividly remember at the time finding it impressive that Bill Clinton (not Hillary Clinton) showed real empathy for the ordinary people whose motives and supposedly misguided choices were under analysis. Ironically, just as Barber reported, Bill Clinton was the one who combined analysis and empathy, much as Obama himself did in his full San Francisco remarks.
Theda ends her post with something I’ve been hearing more and more of by those who “were there”:
Over and out. I am going to try to find a way to preserve in amber my better memories and feelings about the Clintons, so as not to lose altogether the sense of admiration I once felt, but can no longer.
Remember Bill’s “Chill Out” thing? Everybody just calm down and let’s let this thing play out. That’s good cop Bill. This is bad cop Bill:
According to those at the meeting, Clinton – who flew in from Chicago with bags under his eyes – was classic old Bill at first, charming and making small talk with the 15 or so delegates who gathered in a room behind the convention stage.
But as the group moved together for the perfunctory photo, Rachel Binah, a former Richardson delegate who now supports Hillary Clinton, told Bill how “sorry” she was to have heard former Clinton campaign manager James Carville call Richardson a “Judas” for backing Obama.
It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.
“Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that,” a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted.
The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media’s unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.
“It was very, very intense,” said one attendee. “Not at all like the Bill of earlier campaigns.”
His legacy takes a hit in a Hillary loss with the Democratic base – if Obama is able to leverage any success out of the scorched earth. No wonder he’s so on edge! Just chill out Bill! This thing will all be over soon and you can go on another road show with 41.
