If he really cared he would have told the women to "put some ice on it".

To understand the refractory nature and depth of clinton psychopathy, it is especially instructive to parse the following:

He also championed women's rights in Afghanistan, saying the reason "you see all those sanctimonious guys beating those women with sticks" is because the country's rulers demand strict adherence to the rules.

By creating a causal connection between 'abuse of women' and 'requiring strict adherence to the rules' while, at the same time, promoting himself as some sort of champion of women's rights, clinton, with an equal dose of dementia and legerdemain, justifies his own wanton disregard of "the rules" as he transmutes his rapes of women and country into a bizarrely patriotic brand of feminism.

Pushme-Pullyou

We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.
--Pete Seeger
 
The halls of fame are open wide
And they are always full;
Some go in by the door called "push,"
And some by the door called "pull."
--Quoted by STANLEY BALDWIN
 
John Sununu is Dan Quayle's new brain.-
--Maureen Dowd, 11/15, Trouble in Mind
 
 
 
The alleged brain trust, Quayle-Sununu
seems less transplant than graft:
a pushme-pullyou,
a phantasmagoric composite,
a Chimera,
a visual joke more hilarious than the Porsche Boxter.
 
The underlying theory, I suppose, is that
Sununu's (self-described) genius
and Quayle's (self-evident) political judgment
will somehow combine synergistically
to produce a brain worthy of the presidency.
(Is presidential brains really on this electorate's collective mind?)
 
But what assurances are there
that the resultant brain won't be
Sununu's political judgment and Quayle's intellect?
 
After all,
prior attempts at presidential brain surgery
have proven less than brilliant.
You will recall that, as recently as 1996,
The New York Times insisted that
bill clinton undergo the surgical procedure;
its endorsement of clinton was predicated
on clinton undergoing a partial brain transplant:
specifically of the Character Lobe.
 
clinton assured us immediately (if tacitly)
that this would be done post haste (or was it post chaste?),
that whatever crimes he never did, he would never do again.
 
If brain surgery was ever performed on clinton,
it has produced no discernible improvement.
 
 
Perhaps our approach to the problem
of deficient presidential brains
is itself wrong-headed;
that the problem is ultimately
a problem of deficient electorate brains.
 
Voters would be wise to heed
the old roadside ad:
 
Don't lose
Your head
To gain a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it.

 

 
Don't lose
Your head
To gain a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it.
