Got to watching an old Politically Incorrect the other night where Christopher Hitchens was a guest and he referenced this piece he wrote about Clinton. I'll link video here, too, but maybe I should post video as separate thread. Not sure. Hitchens is very good in it. I know he wasn't a perfect person like the rest of us (sarcasm), but I miss him a lot.

Politically Incorrect: Bill Maher Christopher Hitchens

He was brilliant, and liberal as heck. And brave. And here he is 10,000% correct.

Most people don’t know the story about Hillary intimidating & threatening Juanita, BTW.

Simply because she, Juanita, had fallen VICTIM to Bill.

Hitchens could be maddening but he was one of the best essayists of his time. His trenchant, mordant wit was bracing in an era of mealymouths.

[beaversmom]

At the PIC video link he flat out calls him a reptile and rapist. No mincer of words was he. :)

[DoughtyOne]

Hitchens was honest. If he saw it a certain way, he would tell you he saw it that way. Gotta respect that, even if he wasn’t going to see it your way every time.

in an era of mealymouths.

Love it! I think we are still in that era.

We need to start digging through the old Alamo Girl and MiaT files........they had all the info on Hill and Bill.

[beaversmom]

Would love to have him back for what seems to be the inevitable Hillary run.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes that would be good.

[pluvmantelo]

Sadly, I agree.

[beaversmom]

Definitely...and Doug from Upland. :)

[potlatch]

True! Don’t think I’ve talked to Doug since the “Obama Bow” brouhaha.

Just reading a book that mentions how the FBI solved this crime.

They outsourced the investigation to a NY wiseguy informant, Gregory Scarpa, who in return for dropped criminal charges drove to MS, kidnapped a KKK guy, drove him out into the woods, and tortured the location of the bodies out of him.

Cool, huh?

Thanks for remembering the DSL!

Friend forwarded this to me. Haven’t gone through the list yet, but mentions Eileen Wellstone of England in 1969:

Cool, huh?

I guess sometimes ya gotta contract out?!

[rottndog]

Is the video of the Lisa Myers interview still around?

[beaversmom]

It might be on you tube. I will have to search there and see after rest.

Thanks for posting that link, I had never read of all of those. Wonder how many he assaulted while in High School... Too bad he wasn’t caught before he gained powerful positions. Just unreal!!!

[potlatch]

How could we forget? ((HUGS))
