Bill Clinton was described as a necktie salesman
who would keep on laying out and showing you neckties until you bought one.--dennisw
The "necktie salesman-tummler" would never have sold all those ties without the help of
the 400 hog-and-bow-tied-save-clinton retrograde-obsessing historiographers...History Lesson
- by Mia T
Someone--was it Maupassant?--
once called history "that excitable and lying old lady."
The same can be said of historians.Surely it can be said of Doris Kearns Goodwin,
the archetypical pharisaical historian,
not-so-latently clintonoid,
Lieberman-Paradigmatic
(i.e., clinton is an unfit president;
therefore clinton must remain president),
intellectually dishonest,
(habitually doing what the Arthur Schlesingers of this world do:
making history into the proof of their theories).The Forbids 400's argument is shamelessly spurious.
They get all unhinged over the impeachment of clinton,
claiming that it will
"leave the presidency permanently disfigured and diminished,
at the mercy as never before of the caprices of any Congress."Yet they dismiss the real and present--and future!!--danger
to the presidency and the country
of not impeaching and removing
this admittedly unfit, (Goodwin)
"documentably dysfunctional," (NYT)
presidency-diminishing, (Goodwin)
power-abusing,
psychopathic thug.Doris Kearns Goodwin and those 400 other
hog-and-bow-tied-save-clinton
retrograde-obsessing historiographers
are a supercilious, power-hungry,
egomaniacal lot in their own right.For them, clinton validates
what Ogden Nash merely hypothesized:
Any buffoon can make history,
but only a great man can write it.
