JOE KLEIN STRIKES OUT. . . AGAIN
by Mia T, Mar. 11, 2002
ill clinton is not Jack Stanton and bill clinton is not a "natural...[political] talent," -- "squandered" or otherwise -- post-9/11 apologist holdout, Joe Klein, notwithstanding.
The flawed central premise of Joe Klein's current clinton hagiography, "The Natural," is really nothing more than a convoluted retread of hillary clinton's pernicious "compartmentalization" spin -- that a proven felon and utter reprobate can remain president, that clinton can be a failed human being but a good president -- mythology designed to save her zipper-hoisted, W•I•D•E•B•O•D•Y, low-center-of-gravity self by saving her rapist husband.
If nothing else, 9/11 debunks that myth.
By buying into the clintons' pernicious "compartmentalization" spin, Joe Klein makes the same error made by The New York Times when it endorsed the first clinton a second time (and the second clinton the first time)...the same error made by the feminists when they supported a sexual predator and his complicit,zipper-hoisted partner... the same error made by Doris Kearns Goodwin and those 400 other hog-and-bow tied-save-clinton, retrograde-obsessing historiographers who got all unhinged over the impeachment of clinton, claiming that it would "leave the presidency permanently disfigured and diminished, at the mercy as never before of the caprices of any Congress"... even as they dismissed 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.
That Joe Klein still thinks he can, post-9/11, credibly argue that clinton ran "a serious, disciplined, responsible presidency" is testament to leftist self-delusion, indeed, to the left's utter unfitness for office.
