Leo, Hillary and Their Bears (Maureen Dowd savages Hillary)
NY Times ^

Posted on 01/10/2016 11:45:29 AM PST by springwater13

So he's wielding his knife on her most sensitive pressure point: her hypocrisy in running as a feminist icon when she was part of political operations that smeared women who told the truth about Bill's transgressions. Hillary told friends that Monica was a "troubled young person" getting ministered to by Bill and a "narcissistic loony toon." Hillary's henchman Sidney Blumenthal spread around the story that Monica was a stalker and Charlie Rangel publicly slandered the intern as a fantasist who wasn't playing with "a full deck."

Trump may be a politically incorrect Frank Sinatra ring-a-ding type with cascading marriages to hot babes, but he knows that a retrospective of the Clintons' cynical campaigns against "bimbo eruptions" will not play well in a politically correct society sensitized by epidemics of rape in colleges and the military and by the Cosby effect.

Bill hid behind the skirts of feminists - including his wife and esteemed women in his cabinet - when he got caught playing around. And feminists, eager to protect his progressive agenda on women, allowed the women swirling around Bill to become collateral damage, torched as trailer trash or erotomaniacs.

Trump can be a bully. But Hillary was a bully, too, in the way she dealt with her husband's paramours. Her impulse, as Lewinsky wrote in Vanity Fair, was to blame the woman - even herself. Hillary was not going to be hurt twice by Those Women, letting them damage her marriage and her political future. If someone had to be collateral damage, it was not going to be Hillary. For now, she will have to deal with that old show business saw: Exit, pursued by a bear.

That Dowd wrote it in the NYT is the big story here.

The Slimes has one foot out the door and the other on a banana peel financially, so they are now starting their salvage operation becaue they fear loosing what few readers they still have.

What does it say about a first lady, in total command of the White House, allowing a nut around her blue-plate special husband?

Truth is Bill complained about not having enough time to himself, you know, all those photo ops and daily speechifying was too grueling for him. So, Hillary re-arranged his schedule so he would have most of the afternoons free.

Then in walks Monica with a pizza and her kneepads.

Gotta ask, while Bill was canoodling with his intern paramour - who was taking care of the ship of state?

Hillary was.

Yeah, and she had his secretary keep an eye on his his activities - through a peephole no less. So, Hillary knew EXACTLY what Bill and Monica were doing.

So, all of Hillary's sadness after her husband got caught was just because he got caught.

The Slimes had better watch it, they are in danger of loosing their "Certified Progressive/Communist/Libtard" insurance canceled.

That's a nice paper they have there. Sure would hate to see something "BAD" happen to it. Like multiple tax audits, a union strike, the presses getting broke, a fire or maybe even a major gas explosion.

Absolutely devastating article. I’m guessing that MoDo is still somewhat influential to a lot of women. I’m sure Rush will mention it tomorrow.

I read 10 or more comments after the article. ALL of them were against Dowd and pro Hillary. Typical for NY Times.

OK, your guys. I am waiting for you to resurrect all the glam photos of ‘you know who, married to MoDo’s previous boyfriend’.

To crudely echo LBJ on hearing Walter Crankcase turn on him: “If Hillary has lost MoDo, then she has lost the war”.

Maybe. But I think it’s liberals doing what they do. Hillary is now more liability than benefit so under the bus she goes.

She and Bill lost some of their luster over the years as liberalism went harder left and the Age of Obama came to be. They have become the classic useful idiots purged after their usefulness to the cause expired.

Before this is done Dowd will endorse Hillary. The clinton crime family imbroglios (an interesting euphemism for bottomless evil) are so deep and so broad, even in the narrow scope of "War on Women," that you can't dismiss it in a column length denunciation.

For a truly eye-opening if nauseating experience, read the comments to Dowd’s piece. These people are absolutely insane. They’re insane. AND they’re authorized to vote. Truly scary.

Just an excerpt from an article a decade ago, in Free Republic;

‘’There was no doubt in my mind that this young woman had suffered severe emotional trauma,’’ he said. ‘’But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape. I filed a report with my superiors and that was the last I heard of it.’’

Miss Wellstone, who is now married and lives near London, confirmed the incident when contacted this week, but refused to discuss the matter further. She said she would not go public with further details of the attack. Afterwards, she changed her phone number and hired a barrister who warned a reporter to stay away from his client.

In his book, Unlimited Access, former FBI agent Gary Aldrich reported that Clinton left Oxford University for a “European Tour” in 1969 and was told by University officials that he was no longer welcome there. Aldrich said Clinton's academic record at Oxford was lackluster. Clinton later accepted a scholarship for Yale Law School and did not complete his studies at Oxford.

The State Department official who investigated the incident said Clinton's interests appeared to be drinking, drugs and sex, not studies.

“I came away from the incident with the clear impression that this was a young man who was there to party, not study,” he said.

Oxford officials refused comment. The State Department also refused to comment on the incident. A Freedom of Information request filed by Capitol Hill Blue failed to turn up any records of the incident.

Bill Clinton leaves a trail of female abuse and transgressions on both shores. Time for him and his accomplish, Granny, to pay.

Probably paid sockpuppets.

“...sensitized by epidemics of rape in colleges and the military...”

Now that’s funny, right there. The ‘epidemics’ of rape in colleges were hoaxes. Now Hillary is being hoisted on the feminist ‘sensitivity’ petard.

Expired would be a good thought but don’t count America’s greatest crime couple out yet. Some criminals never stop until incarcerated or eliminated. Witness Hillaryous.
