--SNIP-- Inside the Bill gang and the Hillary gang, there is panic and perplexity. Is Bill a loyal spouse or a subconscious saboteur? For the first time since the Marc Rich pardon, said a friend of the Clintons, Bill is seriously diminishing his personal standing with the people closest to him. And certainly he feels that his legacy is tied to her. When Bill gets slit-eyed, red-faced and finger-wagging in defense of Hillary, is he really defending himself, ego in full bloom, against aspersions Obama and Edwards cast on Clintonian politics? Maybe the Boy Who Cant Help Himself is simply engaging in his usual patterns of humiliating Hillary and lighting an exploding cigar when things are going well. If voting for Obama is a roll of the dice, as Bill suggests, voting for Billary is a sure bet: an endless soap opera.

Looking at that picture reminds me of a rumor I heard once. Erskine Bowles is Jesse Helms’ love child.
The truth is that Bill and Hitlery hate each other with a pure passion. The only stay together for whats in it for them. As soon as what I get vs what I give tips under the 50% mark, they will try to kill each other.””
Legally, I think they HAVE to “stay together”. They each know too much dirt about the other, and collectively, they definately are poison wo all those around them.
Makes one wonder what they each did in their prior lives? Anyone want to ask Sylvia Browne??
.I did not have sex with Hillary
where does it end... 8^)
It's clear why she chose to stay with him. He was her meal ticket -- the route to power, for herself.
But why did he stay with her? When all you want to do is chase young women, why put up with the harpy at home? Sure, she let him do it -- but she made him pay a price.
But what benefit did he gain from the marriage?
There's something we don't know about their relationship...
“where does it end....”
never....they will never go away.
"Man, that chick you sent to my room last night was a dog from the neck up."
"Hillary, your iowa polling doesn't look too good for The Clinton Legacy."
"Drop dead, Bill."
He’s a momma’s boy.
And she’s the evil momma that always makes bad things right.
Is that really all there is to it?
Does he simply have a psychological dependency on her?
There are a lot of possible pathologies in a relationship so perverse as their's. So, it's conceivable...
Of course there’s much more to it. BJ is the poster boy for...
DSM-IV-TR® Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
Fourth Edition
The standard diagnostic tool used by mental health professionals worldwide to promote reliable research, accurate diagnosis, and thus appropriate treatment and patient care. Each psychiatric disorder with its corresponding diagnostic code is accompanied by a set of diagnostic criteria and descriptive details including associated features, prevalence, familial patterns, age-, culture-, and gender-specific features, and differential diagnosis.
People still have to ask? Okay... I think it's pretty obvious to most of us, just not to Ms Dowd.
LOL, so very true. Dim. Of course, they were so eager to hang on his coattails, be his yes-men, part of his entourage, they overlooked whatever nagging suspicions they had. Oh, the 'tolerant' left. Like folks falling for that special someone who abuses them, they overlook danger signs, red flags. Of course, Bill is known to be suave, charismatic. It would be unlikely that his yes-men would see through it right off.
Course, many if us are gratified the Mark Rich pardon atrocity is being revisited.
Amen to that. I surely didn't think it would be, at least not now with Hil running and the MSM pulling for her, or any Dem.
Dowd’s posing the question is quite existential-—makes her readers think-—and draw conclusions.
This political/marital soap opera has gotten very old. The last thing the country needs is another 8 years of it.
Oh, yes, let's hope they do. I guess I missed her intent, because it's a conclusion that I've reached some time ago and assumed others had. I guess some of us just got there faster. ;-)
They remind us of passive aggressive couples, who covertly stab their spouse in the back indirectly while smiling for the camera and power friends.
We know of couples like the Clintoons, who present the united front, and then shred each other when they are not together.
