Frontpage Interview’s guest today is R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., the founder and editor in chief of The American Spectator.

FP: What inspired you to write this book?
Tyrrell: The rogue himself. He is one of the most preposterous figures in American political history.

FP: Illuminate for us a few of the ingredients that make Bill Clinton a tortured man in his retirement.
Tyrrell: He senses that he has failed as a President—there are many examples of this in the book. Hence you see his angry outbursts in the book. But he also, being a sociopath, cannot perceive that he has done anything wrong. Hence his denunciations of prosecutors and his two hundred pardons and commutations to felons. I list them in the book. It is an astounding list of scoundrels, but Clinton lacks the probity to recognize this.
FP: In what ways is Clinton a sociopath? Is Hillary one as well?
Tyrell: Well, neither knows right from wrong. They lie when they don't have to and tell whoppers when a little white lie would be perfectly adequate. That gets them into trouble. As I report in the book no first couple ever attracted so many prosecutors, cops, criminal lawyers. At one point they had the entire Supreme Court engaged, and the Senate and the United States House of Representatives, the FBI, the Justice Department, who knows, possibly even the CIA and Russian intelligence? You will recall that I report that the “phone sex” between Lewinsky and Clinton were al taped by foreign intelligence agencies and might be released at any point, a particularly dramatic point might be during Hillary’s run for the White House..

THe 43% of the voters who made this amusing fellow our president would not care if he had sexually assaulted Mother Theresa on the steps of the Supreme Court Building. Of course those convos between him and Monica were taped by a "Foreign Intelligence" Agency. Of course Vince Foster was murdered. Of course so was Ron Brown, and of course he had three chances to take out Osama (almost wrote Obama) bin Ladin.
None of that matters. Bill Clinton is not a man. He is an Icon. Taking his cue from JFK, he devoterd O say, an hour and half to two hours a day to "running" the country and the rest to PArty time and party time.Guy's a friggin' genius.
By my reckoning, if the Republican Party were to suddenly wake from its long slumber upon W's retirement to Texas, we could repair clinton's damage to our nation in about 50 years of hard work. Of course, if his wife is somehow elected, we gotta problem.
In your dreams.........: )
“Bill is *not* a sociopath. He’s more of a borderline personality/narcissist, constantly craving attention and love.”
They both meet the criteria posted(#22) here by bmwcyle...

Co-presidents, co-sociopaths, co-conspirators...whatever you want to call them, they are the most destructive set of sociopaths in American history.

Clinton was a serial rapist and as the archives of this forum detail illegally received campaign donations from the Chinese government. That said, he never disappointed me, who he was, was evident from the start. He was raised by a party girl-whore for the political criminal element in Hot Springs Arkansas and politics and crime were one in the same. On the other hand Bush has disappointed me, in some ways he has given Teddy Kennedy more than Clinton ever did, No Child Left Behind, Prescription Drugs, and support for Amnesty for illegals. While Clinton played the Red Chinese game for his own gain, I have never figured out why Bush has given so much of this country to Mexico and its illegal invasion for nothing.
The Clintons will never be pursued to the end. Nobody will ever touch either of them. They are liars and users, both. They’ve been let off. Only the Republicans pay the price, never the Democrats. Never the Democrats. And yes, it’s a partisan-kind-of-thing.
Clinton Yeltsin bump
“It is reasonable to assume that Talbott did what most men would do; he told his wife the juicy story about the president’s sex life. That scenario becomes even more probable when we realize that Talbott’s wife was none other than Brooke Shearer, one of Hillary Clinton’s closest friends and, at that time, head of the White House intern program. Monica Lewinsky was Bill Clinton’s lover, and Strobe Talbott’s wife was Monica Lewinsky’s boss. So, was the President of the United States blackmailed by the Russians? And did Hillary have a hand in forcing a blackmail payoff involving billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars? It is an interesting speculation.”
