Bill on going negative: media bias made her do it

Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media's coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go negative on Barack Obama.

He also expressed his frustration that his wife is perceived by voters as divisive through, he said, no fault of her own.

Clinton, like his wife, is traveling New Hampshire taking questions from voters, and he spoke at the University of New Hampshire in Durham in response to a plea from a woman who said she'd like it "if you and Clinton joined Barack Obama in putting the Republicans on notice" that it was time to "change the game" and end the "meanness" and "manipulation" in politics.

Clinton replied that he liked the idea — in theory.

"I think we can change it as long as you have access to information by people who are committed to judging everybody by the same set of rules and following the same set of rules," he said. "According to the most recent media analysis, that’s not what’s happened so far, but yeah, I think it should be done."

Clinton also let his audience glimpse the scars of his White House years.

"Nobody would like it better than us if you could get that personal vilification out of there, because nobody’s been vilified more than we have," he said, after noting that he thought Hillary and McCain could run a respectful campaign. "One of the problems with laying down and turning the other cheek is McCain had one dose of it. They gave it to us for eight years.

As a member of the VRWC I find a certain pleasure in reading this report.

Speaking truth to a corrupt but powerful person will sound like villification to the guilty.

Her failure to appear in person, not by the safe distance of a video feed, on the news talkies does not help her.

Her failure to take questions from other-than-plants in open forums does not help her.

Her bringing out Bubba whenever she needs assistance does not help her.

Her trying to run her campaign as a patterned replica of Bubba's presidential run does not help her.

Her using the CNN/Wolf Blitzer Debate to rehabilitate her campaign after being roughed up by the MSNBC/Tim Russert Debate does not help her.

Here is the problem / irony with Billy; he really believes the crap he is peddling. He really believes that he and his wife are victims. I wonder what Billy Dale, Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Wiley, ... think about his whining?

“I think we can change it as long as you have access to information by people who are committed to judging everybody by the same set of rules and following the same set of rules,” he said. “According to the most recent media analysis, that’s not what’s happened so far, but yeah, I think it should be done.”

Could it be because Mrs Clinton has dodged every question and avoids photo-ops and even tells her daughter “do not talk to the media”? Or because she answers serious questions with a laugh and a change-of-subject?

If Obama did the same (followed the same rules) then maybe there would be more even coverage.

I’m sure the scars he’s referring to were those caused by Monica on Willard.

I love that Clinton clip from the Ron Brown funeral. Rush played that over and over on his late great television show. BJ is classic narcissist, using emotions for effect and having all focus on him.

Hey, Bill, you lying sack, welcome to UNH Durham. The students there saw HILLARY! UNCENSORED and were amazed at what you two grifters have perpetrated.
