Well, here it is - this is the real fruit of clintonism. Not that hypocrisy is a new thing, it's just that it has been made stock and trade from now on. Not only that, but the press and electorate (by now, well acquainted with the taste of sh*t) can actually stand to listen to some craven weasel polish his 'honor' in spite of the magnitude of perversity in his logic and actions.

In some ways, the clintons were like a mountain range - that is, taking in the magnitude of their deceit is not possible with a single glance. In fact, the overwhelming corruption negates the abilities of an observer to gauge the wrongdoing since nobody's scale was ever calibrated to the scope these people trafficked in daily. Unfortunately, an ongoing cost of the clintons is the field day it creates for the petty criminals and shady operators that politics increasingly attracts.

Shays and those like him are small and ugly frauds but clintonism emboldens men like this to become worse slime than they would have ever become left to their own cowardly devices. They are not principled men and, therefore, totally unreliable in times, like now, when principled leaders are especially needed.

The great poison that insects like Shays represent is in the weakening of principle in the face of evil. In my estimation, it is a far better thing to fight a known enemy with a diametric agenda and treason in his/her heart, than to count such spineless rodents as allies.
