The Shadow Over the Clintons
American Spectator ^ | 3/4/2015 | George Neumayr

Posted on 03/04/2015 8:47:16 AM PST by HomerBohn

The portrait of Bill Clinton that hangs at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington contains a curious shadow. The meaning of that shadow was explained to the press this week by the artist of the portrait, Nelson Shanks. He told reporters that he used a blue dress, a reference to Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, as the object of the shadow. No president is a hero to his valet or portraitist, apparently.

“The reality is [Clinton's] probably the most famous liar of all time. He and his administration did some very good things, of course, but I could never get this Monica thing completely out of my mind and it is subtly incorporated in the painting,” Shanks said.

The Clintons may discover, as they prepare for an attempted return to the White House, that the public is no less ambivalent than Shanks. Despite generally glowing coverage, the Clintons remain a source of unease for many Americans. The shadows of the 1990s still hang over them, a problem that Hillary Clinton made more noticeable this week after it came out that she had used her private e-mail account to conduct public business as secretary of state, a clear violation of transparency and security standards.

Not even her allies are bothering to defend this law-skirting practice. They find it “stunning,” “unusual,” and “stupid.”

If it wasn’t for the MSM, the Clintons would have been long forgotten by America.

Hillary (Ram-Babe) fought the Bimbo Eruptions like the warrior that she is.
But she couldn't prevent "The Stain On The Presidency".

We can all remember that if Bill Clinton had stopped the Democratic habit of playing golf, long enough, and did his job correctly, we would not have suffered the attack on 9/11/2001!

Had Bill Clinton been a man enough to go after those that attacked the World Trade Center in 1993, with the same vigor he persecuted and killed his political rivals, a la Vince Foster, things might just be a bit different now.
