Aw, s**t: Yet another Billbo eruption
I did a quick little piece last night for the NYPost on Billbo’s latest purple fit. An excerpt:
AW, “s–t” - another Billbo eruption.
Back in January, worried Democrats pleaded with Bill Clinton to zip his wildly flapping lips.
Teddy Kennedy and Rahm Emanuel reportedly told him to tone down the attacks on Barack Obama. None would comment on the record about those discussions. But based on his latest profanity-laced comments caught during a radio interview with a Philadelphia station on Monday, we don’t have to guess how Clinton reacted:
“I don’t think I should take any s–t from anybody.”
Clinton was talking to a WHYY host who asked him about his comparison of Obama’s win in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s win there in 1984.
The host noted that a black Philadelphia official had switched her support after construing Clinton’s remarks in South Carolina as an effort to marginalize Obama as “the black candidate.”
The host hit Clinton’s touchy-touchy spot.
How dare she have the audacity to suggest that he, Bill “First Black President” Clinton, had engaged in race-baiting! After all, his office is in Harlem - “and Harlem voted for Hillary, by the way” - he fumed.
Clinton then went, well, all Clinton on the host and on the Obama camp, accusing them of “playing the race card” (those were his exact words) and plotting to “do it all along.”
The narcissism, the conspiratorial mindset, the Olympics-sized sense of entitlement, liberal immunity, and indignation, the utter lack of discipline. It was a classic Clintonian moment. All that was missing was a bald-faced lie…
… On a momentous primary night that should have been all about Her, The Big He made it all about Him. As her macho campaign ad baited Obama about his inability to stand the heat in the kitchen, her own husband was melting down in front of the cameras.
This comes on the heels of his humiliatingly false, non-defense defense of Hillary’s Bosnia sniper fire fable - wherein he insisted she only told the lie once (it was three times) and late at night when she was “exhausted” (try well-rested and well-practiced, dating back to December) - and a multitude of outbursts against other reporters meekly raising questions about his racially divisive comments and tactics.
The finger-wagging king of purple fits can’t control his temper, his mouth, or his self-destructive egotism. He may well cost his wife any slim chance she has left of emerging victorious in Denver this August.
Karl Rove couldn’t have planted a more effective saboteur.

Schadenfreudealicious!
see! Karl Rove…that evil genius!
do Karl Rove have children? i certainly hope he passes that evil gene along. it manages to always get its prey. Murphy’s Law is no match for that evil genius Rove.
does Rove* ugh.
Rove did this too! I’ll be dog!
I bet Bill has removed all of the pots, pans, lamps and sharp objects from their Chappaqua home. The Hildabeast isn’t going to be happy with his outbursts.
How can anyone take them seriously… this stuff is comedy gold!
Women have chocolate as their guilty pleasure. Me? I am enjoying watching the democrats implode.
Naked corruption and greed: The Clintons.
Our boy “Charming Billy” has a long history of “s__t” happenings.
The question needs to be asked:
If Glowbama gets the nomination, will Slick stump for him?
Rove, you magnificent bas**rd!
Hey, somebody had to say it…
Hillay’s new campaign logo.
What no blaming Bush for this? Thats a plesent suprise.
Just when I think Karl Rove can’t do anything dumber, he goes and does this…
And totally redeems himself!!!
Can this man not even tell what a lie is anymore? It is just astounding how he reinterprets the truth every 5 minutes when it fits the storyline.
Why can’t this man just go away already?
“profanity-laced comments” ?
C’mon Michelle, that’s a stretch. It was off record and a common phrase used by most of our mothers on occaision.
That movie gets funnier every time I see it.
Fair enough. Bill Clinton can be embarrassing, very embarrassing.
Still, he was a better President than Reagan or any of the Bushes. Balanced budget, rising middle class income (after inflation), job creation, military interventions with few American lives lost, … .
You can take the man out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the man.
Billy Bob just gets better and better every day. Not only do kids say the darndest things so do the Democrat ex-Presidents. Rove you magnificent bastard!
It’s official, we now know lgm is on crack.
C’mon, we’ve known that for a while.
LGM can you at least give me the answer abut all the harrassment and daily bombings of abortion clinics that you claim. Not even your MSM news reports any of this. Yes, I will be waiting for hell to freeze over for your answer. Sorry folks for being off topic
Whose?
Slick = lgm
job creation (in Mexico where our American cars are built) - Signed NAFTA on his way out.
military interventions with few American lives lost - because the blue dress was an embarrassment and he needed the diversion.
lgm,
How is it you are the supreme authority on who is better than whom? I say we are all better than you as you bring new meaning to “cracked up”.
Good article MM. I saw his tirade while out shaking hands. The boy would spend 50 bucks to lie if the truth were free. Oh and lgm, moral equivalence doesn’t seem to go over real well on here. Give it up.
I seem to remember that Hillary was sent home to bake cookies during the slicksters first campaign. I believe it was because she was running around the country telling everyone about the socialist agenda that THEY would pass once in office. Back then it was they, now it is she. What goes around comes around.
Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter: Doing the work Republicans
refuseno longer have to do.-lgm
Most ridiculous thing you’ve ever said here.
So…when the democrats finally implode inside the vacuum that is Billy Jeff’s ego, will we actually be able to hear it?
It still amazes me that we who live in the most blessed country in the world and are the most blessed nation still find room to complain. What? Our two cars, nice home, expensive clothes..enough food to make us fat..isn’t enough for us anymore. What a spoiled people we are.
There are 4 generations now in the work force. When each generation was asked to list the most important events that took place in the first 15 years of our lives which impacted us the most.
Previous generations of course, named WWII, the GI bill, Vietnam, the depression, landing and walking on the moon, the invention of color TV.
The youngest generation named….Columbine. Though everyone would agree this was a devistating event, the fact that this was the event that had the most impact on this youngest generation, was very telling to me.
Oh yeah, this just keeps getting better and better.
lgm
He is a derilict, simply put.
Bills Media Advisor: Sir they have you on tape so deny, deny, deny
Slick Willy: Oh crap, I did’nt know the SOBs were taping me, a that’s alright these moron’s will believe anything.
Good point Misscheryl. The kids in school now hear way too much negativity. And they see bitter cheerleaders like Jimmah on T.V. when they get home! Liberals pound they’re fist on the gloom and doom pulpit every chance they get. Remember, misery loves company. Maybe Jimmah and lgm could get together for a group hug.
Soap on troll food:
Lgm defended Clinton twice and the Pope once. Clinton is twice as better than the Pope.
How did I do?
This is what happens when you end your interview and hand the cell-phone to a lacky who doesn’t hit the End-Call button fast enough. Gee Bill, learn to work your own phone!
How so?
Michelle your column is a bit disappointing. As much as I loathe Bubba, you’ve totally mischaracterized what was said and to whom. What he really said was:
“I don’t think I should take any shit from anybody on that, do you?”
And he said it to whoever his handler was when he thought he was off the phone, NOT to a WHYY host as you state. I’m not trying to excuse him, but you’ve distorted this greatly.
Entirely wrong; a liberal misconception. Better economy, job growth, etc. under Bush.
I don’t think lgm would know a healthy economy, OR a good president if it slapped him in the face. Some people are just miserable.
Is he drinking?
Sorry, I meant to add that you are trying to state that Bill was telling the host that he shouldn’t take shit from anyone, in reference to the race card issue. When in fact he was clearly talking to his handler (after the fact) and asking him if he thought Bill had said anything during the interview he just did that he should take shit for, because Bill didn’t think so.
LGM, Clinton had fewer military lives lost than Reagan? Can you say absolute fabrication…..?
Keep smokin the reef bro. You are entertaining.
You know, if “The Swimmer” Teddy is telling a liberal (D) to shut up, something is very wrong.
Can someone say irony at its finest?
I think lgm has been doin’ way too many bong hits in his moms basement this mornin’…………..
Dang Michelle, you are good.
That article was just…. sweet, succinct, cutting and exactly on target.
Maybe by YOUR mother, MY mother has more class then that.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Thanks for the humor today, now I feel better. Unfortunately, I served under this military “loathing”, military dismantling, draft DODGING wannabe so called President. He was ALMOST as bad as Carter. Only he was riding the coat tails of the greatest President of my time, Ronald Regan. Anyone can look proactive and grand when someone else sets them up to sit pretty for a few years.
So is everyone going to just overlook the fact that Michelle both misquoted AND mischaracterized the story here? I loathe Bill, but there is plenty of stuff to nail him on without misquoting him and not being truthful about who he was talking to and about what.
He was NOT talking to the radio show host, he was talking to his handler.
Sometimes, it is like shooting puppies in a barrel.
Clinton was dragged kicking and screaming to a balanced budget and welfare reform. Job creation? Exactly what jobs did Bill Clinton create? How about military interventions that were ineffective (remember the chance he had at bin Laden?).
Now answer me this: when did Enron and Arthur Anderson do all the bad things that came to a head during Bush’s admin? Who actually wrote the legislation in 1995 (and is still on the Senate Banking committee!) that allowed the Enron and AA debacles to happen? Chris Dodd, who pushed through a law called the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. According to a legal expert on the subject, this law did four things: (1) It raised the pleading standards for class action securities fraud cases to a level well above the level for fraud cases in general. (2) It substituted proportionate liability for joint and several liability. (3) It restricted RICO so that treble damages could no longer apply to securities fraud cases. (4) It adopted a highly lax position on making forward-looking financial predictions.
When did the stock market actually start to pick up steam (hint: it coincided with the election of Republican leadership to the Congress) Oh hell, why wait for you?
In the first two years of the Clinton/Gore administration, with a democrat Congress and pursuing anti-growth democrat economic policies, the DJIA rose from 3310.00 to 3843.90. That’s an anemic 7.76% compounded annual return. The OTC was even worse: rising from 696.34 to 755.20, a pathetic 4.14% compounded annual return.
In the first two years after the republicans gained control of the Congress, the DJIA rose from 3843.90 to 6813.10. That’s a 33.1% average annual return. The OTC performance was even better: rising from 755.20 to 1379.85, a 35.2% average annual return. In the second two year period of the republican controlled Congress, the DJIA rose another 37.36%, from 6813.10 to 9358.80, an average annual return of 17.2%. And in the second two year period of the republican led Congress, the OTC rose 81.61%, from 1379.85 to 2505.89, an average annual return of 34.8%.
Recession or not (and they are cyclical, whether you like it or not) the DJIA has been pretty stable throughout the Bush admin, despite 9/11 and the war.
HUH?
Yeah, gosh, let’s ignore the NAFTA trade deal that he decided to sign (if he had so many reservations) and that his wife can’t get away from quick enough.
You mean military embarassments. You mean the Somalia debacle and Kosovo mission which we’re STILL a part of?
How ’bout that dot com bubble bursting or that housing bubble he encouraged or those jobs he lost because he signed NAFTA. When you make any kind of economic decision, especially a trade deal, it takes years to figure out what its repercussions are. And yet… those jobs are going buh bye anyway.
As far as puppet comedy theater goes, lgm, you’re are the STAR ATTRACTION.
Oh, Mule, that has gotta be the BEST troll picture to date!!
ROTFLMAO!!!
Everyone, this is important! Bill Clinton is suffering the effects of his surgery. It is a known fact, after bypass surgery patients lose some cognitive functioning. Not all but a high enough percentage do. It’s called “Pump Brain” in the field…it’s a result of the surgery. I don’t like the Clintons but this is not of his choosing. The medical establishment is not speaking up as they should about this common occurance. This is why he is embarrassing her. Check out John McDougal’s website…one of his “e alerts” explains this with much compassion.

Job creation under Bill Clinton was better than job creation under either Bush. The chart shows Clinton at 2.6 and Reagan at 2.3.
Frank Caliendo should do some skits about Bill’s latest adventures on his show, Frank TV. His Bill imitation is classic!
Thanks, I was so excited when I found that one, It fits him perfectly.
garyt (#23): Check #64 in the earlier thread.
Anyone actually care to discuss the post that we are commenting on? Or would you rather continue ignoring the fact that Michelle misquoted and mischaracterized?
How does a link to the Democratic Policy Committee show the real story? How ’bout an impartial, non-partisan link?
Think something along the lines of Bureau of Labor statistics. You made the assertion… now prove it without using a partisan site like that as a crutch.
The questions stands: what did Clinton have to do with job creation? What jobs did he directly create?
The evidence shows that Newt Gingrich and the Republican led Congress had more to do with creating an environment conducive to job creation.
What, exactly did Michelle “misrepresent?” Clinton still said what he did. He still lied. What is your point?
I think, however, your attention to how Michelle spotlighted this latest remark is a non-issue. It is what it is, whether Clinton said it to a reporter or a lackey.
Whatever point you’re trying to make, the fact still remains that Bill Clinton is a lying douche-bag.
I agree. She left off “pathological liar”.
Sorry I’m late again.
Clinton was better than Reagan?????
Reagan defeated the 2nd worst threat of the 20th century - while avoiding poking the help.
lgm so why are you not answering Dimsdale #52? I was beat to it but the bottom line is the Republican Congress started the programs under clinton and Dick Morris convinced him to go along and in some cases plagerize the Republican proposals. But I guess that Morris is a hack not to be believed when he tells the truth about billy boy?
Maybe the Clinton D-Chickens are coming home to roost. It’s about time!
What did she misrepresent? She is trying to say that he said “I don’t think I should take any s–t from anybody.” to the radio host. First of all, that is a complete misquote, he actually said:
“I don’t think I should take any shit from anybody on that, do you?”
Secondly, she is trying to say that he said that to the host in response to be questioned about his “race card” comment. That is complete bull. He said it after the interview was over, to his handler, asking his handler if he thought he said anything someone could give him shit for. I agree with you, he is a lying douche-bag. But there are plenty of lies we can call him on without making shit up. And Michelle and all of you here lose a lot of credibility when you do so. The fact that you can’t see the difference here is ridiculous.
lgm -
The kicker is that there were actually more military lives lost under Clinton, than under Bush, who is fighting a shooting war.
Read it. You might learn something.
From what I’ve seen that is bunk MathMom:

Read it, you might learn something.
D-Hoggs, most of the regulars on this board eat up whatever MM feeds them without much independent thought…lots of them are not much more than groupies (soap being the head groupie). There are narratives to spin, and the accurate reporting of facts is sort of secondary. Nonetheless, Malkin’s writing is very sharp and often times extremely entertaining…warts and all, a very good blog.
Wonder if that’s the same finger that good ‘ol Billy boy pointed at the camera when he said, “I did not have sex with that woman.”
Wonder if he’s figured out yet what “sex” really is?
Wonder where else that finger has been?
.
Clinton created jobs for the Chinese. He sold them the technology that enabled them to finally get their rockets off the launch pad.
Now, don’t you think that was nice of him, foreign relations and all? (/sarc)
Gee, I just love back-handed compliments!!!
gee oh wise one dakine, thanks for your great analysis.
or
Maybe we’re like minded individuals who come here for a refreshing break from the leftwing bilge we are force-fed by the MSM.
I’ve made it to the big time. I’m somebody! By the way Dakine, have you SEEN michelle? Better her “groupie” than to be like you - an lgm groupie.
really dakine I actually thought you were above comments like that….
AJ,
He IS an attorney!
That kind of thinking used to serve the Clintons well in the 1990s, but it’s pretty clear that the magic is gone.
And it’s obviously sticking in Bill’s craw that his former imperial litter-bearers in the media have unceremoniously dumped him and Hillary on the ground - so they can lift Obama up on their shoulders.
If Obama does one act of public service for America, it’ll be to help keep the Clintons from re-infesting the White House. Once he’s accomplished that purpose, his usefulness is over.
Clinton and other Democrats now know what kind of crap Republicans have to go through all of the time, when trying to deflect knowingly bogus claims of racism.
Vince Foster was unavailable for comment.
Dakine,
What’s the difference between your posts and lgm’s?
Just spotted on U.S. #1 downtown Vero Beach!
Soap…ya really did out do yourself this time….LMAO.
I love it! Go Soap! Go Soap!
I’m jealous. If I had a groupie I sure it would be Kathy Bates swinging a sledgehammer on dejack’s ankles.
#86 - most horrifying movie scene ever….
dakine, I am not new to Ms. Malkin’s blog. I have been reading daily for the past 5 or more years. I just don’t comment very often, if at all. I comment regularly on Wizbang. I just felt the need to comment here because she has clearly misquoted, and people are already parroting her misquote. (#80, #82) That is NOT what Clinton said. I pretty much loathe Billy boy, but that’s NOT what he said and he did NOT say it to the radio host like Ms. Malkin contends. I agree with about 99% of what Ms. Malkin writes, but if we can’t be honest and not fabricate stories (when there are plenty of actual stories to call Clinton on) then we are no better than the slime that comes out of the left wing blogs.
dakine
Easy; dakine is right, lgm is not.
30, the content of most of my posts to answer your question. I simply defend lgm’s right to disagree.
Thanks Yashmak.
soap, gotta give credit where it’s due. Very funny stuff.
Blind, not so much.
Sure, the NY Times, Seattle Times and CNN might be construed as dubious sources, but D-Hoggs, what’s the big misquote you’re excited about?
Just for you Soap
AlohaGuy,
ROFLMBO - thanks! I am feeling the love today!
Aloha guy: Why did Michelle leave out the …”on that, do you?” Instead making it out to sound like Clinton said, to the radio host, that he shouldn’t have to take any shit from anyone. She has clearly cherry-picked the quote for her own ends, and flat out mischaracterizes that he said it to the radio host. I don’t know how you don’t see that. Four little words, why leave them out?
Way cool, Soap!
The LA Times and the Washington Post seem to have left the whole episode out, not just four words. I see what you’re driving at, but don’t agree that in this case it’s that big a deal. And while it may seem like parroting to you, I had read several of the articles yeterday, and knew what it was reported he had said. My point was not simply to parrot Michelle, but that he has a temper and a short fuse, and I think he feels he doesn’t have to take anything from anybody - “on that” or for any reason - and it can lead to, well who knows?
I agree with you AlohaGuy. My point is that you are absolutely right and that there are tons of opportunities to rightly call bill out, so why cherry-pick a quote and mischaracterize what was said and to whom? I don’t like it when the left does it, and it doesn’t help for us to engage in it. Mahalo.
Bill must be off his meds again.
Any guesses on when Hill dumps the Slug named Bill?
Man I wish I had gotten here sooner. I think I saw Soap’s roadsign on my last trip back home to Florida!
As for Slick — someone commented that he is likely suffering a post surgical complication. I tend to agree. What’s interesting is that the Hill-machine either isn’t smart enough or isn’t strong enough to stick a sock in his mouth.
Maybe if they tossed an intern at him….naw, that’d only work for a couple of minutes.
Well…we ended up getting the lie. Later, when confronted with having claimed Obama was using the race card, Clintin told a batch of reporters that he never saidthose words, and that it was just another attempt to slander ol Bill by claiming he did.
Yup…classic Billy-Boy indeed.
LGM LGM LGM LGM
Military interventions that were unsuccessful!
Did he kill Osama? NO! We didn’t even have the right targets!
And what about former Yugoslavia? All bombing!
That’s why there were less casulties, and he didn’t have the stomach for more of somalia.
And a better president? Then why was he nearly impeached?
Sex in the oval office. Gotta love post-modern liberalism.
Even if that didn’t happen, he still is a baby-killer.
