The Barack-and-Bill double act on display this fall marks a new and intriguing phase in a psychological entanglement so rich that if Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung were alive, they would surely be squabbling over it instead of Sabina Spielrein’s hysteria. No one close to Obama or Clinton even bothers with the pretense that there is any real affection between them. But most concur with the assessment of a Democratic operative with tentacles deep in both worlds: that “the relationship today is totally transactional—and highly functional.”

This article is well worth a read, since the relationship between the _Resident and the Klintonx is so dysfunctional on so many levels, and yet they manage to cooperate somehow -- the Republican equivalent is Sarah Palin stumping for the GOP ticket, n/w/s her abuse by the RNC, RiNO's in general, and Mitt Romney in particular.

John Heilemann, for the benefit of FReepers unacquainted with this bullet-headed under-doyen of the Hive Mind, is a professional talking head and frequent apparitor on Charlie Rose's show(s). In particular, he's this guy:

With that introduction, no further enteric warnings should be necessary, as Heilemann serenely contemplates America's Stalinist party, the vessel of all his hopes.

I don’t know about you, but I’d probably bet a paycheck that says Bill and Hillary haven’t slept together in the same bed since maybe after Monica, or after she became a Senator..... she probably, rightly so, doesn’t want to catch Herpes or HIV.....

The rumor, back in the day (attributed to Web Hubbel), was that she didn’t want to catch Chelsea, either.

Some people wonder why Bill/Hill moved to Chappaqua after the presidency.

That’s b/c Chappaqua in the Indian dialect means “separate bedrooms.”

There’s no affection between Bill and HILLARY!!!
