Defining the clintons and clintonism: Nov. 5, 2002 and Q ERTY

How cheerfully he seems to grin,

How neatly spreads his claws,

And welcomes little fishes in

With gently smiling jaws!

~Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

 

 

The irony of the clinton Keyboard Caper, the inspiration for my Q ERTY SERIES, is that whereas we "didn't need those Ws to define the clintons," it was precisely a "W" -- Dubya -- who finally defined the clintons and clintonism.

Because he did so by counterexample, Dubya accomplished this feat with exquisite -- and seemingly effortless -- precision, subtlety and brilliance.

Dubya's love defined clinton hate

Dubya's courage defined clinton cowardice

Dubya's character defined clinton corruption

Dubya's plain talk defined clinton doublespeak

Dubya's competence defined clinton ineptitude

Dubya's unselfconsciousness defined clinton solipsism and self-aggrandizement

Dubya's selflessness defined clinton egocentricity, self-protection and self-enrichment

Dubya's morality defined clinton deconstruction and subversion

Dubya's charity defined clinton greed

Dubya's straightforwardness defined clinton sleight of hand

Dubya's reverence defined clinton rapacity

Dubya's inventiveness defined clinton rigidity and devastation

Dubya's humility defined clinton megalomania

Dubya's focus defined clinton aimlessness

Dubya's leadership defined clinton poll-following demagoguery

Dubya's inclusiveness defined clinton balkanizing

Dubya's compassion defined clinton intolerance

Dubya's principles defined clinton expediency

Dubya's prudence defined clinton recklessness

Dubya's sanity defined clinton dysfunction

Dubya's patriotism defined clinton sedition

Dubya's loyalty defined clinton perfidy

Dubya's brilliance defined clinton banality

Dubya's greatness defined clinton smallness

Historians will record that Dubya's definition of the clintons and clintonism was formalized by the people on November 5, 2002.

Rjayne-if post #17 doesn't qualify for post of the week-month-maybe even year-I don't know what does. Sometimes a FReeper cuts through the massive distortions and smoke screens so clearly, that their missive is worthy of all out FReeper attention.

I really, and I mean really liked Mia T's comparisons of President Bush's character to that of (or lack of) Ex-prez clinton's.

Just thought you and John should not miss it. (And don't miss her Q (w)ERTIES #8 and #9!)

Dubya's courage defined clinton cowardice...

Dubya's morality defined clinton deconstruction and subversion

Dubya's good defined clinton evil

It is unclear whether clinton latched onto deconstructionist theory because its intrinsic inability to be critical provided convenient cover for clinton's inability to think critically or whether clinton was attracted to deconstruction merely because it had surplanted Marxism as the preferred opiate of leftist elites.
