If this isn’t a hoot; Bill Clinton scolding CNN (memorably termed the Clinton News Network in some circles). Apparently, CNN hasn’t shilled for Bill and Hillary enough to keep Billy from scolding CNN for bringing up recent criticism of him over his ongoing smear campaign against Senator Barack Hussein Obama.
CNN’s Jessica Yellin wasn’t gellin’ for Bill, I guess, for after a South Carolina event Bill gave his famously jabbing pointer finger some exercise with Yellin at the receiving end. “You live for this,” he said sternly as Yellin tried to ask a few questions about recent comments by former SC Dem party chairman Dick Harpootlian who said that the Clinton’s attacks on Obama were “reprehensible.”
Then Bill launched into another Right-wing-conspiracy styled theory over why CNN was asking the questions, imagining that the Obama campaign was now in charge of CNN’s editorial decisions.
“They are feeding you this because they know this is what you want to cover.” Bill yelped, adding later a “Shame on you.”
This is an amazing magic trick that the Clintons are pulling and it really shows just how naive Barack Obama is in confronting the Clinton attack machine. Seriously, Bill comes out and makes blatantly untrue statements, then has the gall to break out the mean, jabbin’ finger when someone dares to confront him with his actions (shades of “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”). And what does Obama do? Sputters about how unfair it all is but mostly just lets it all go unaddressed? What an amature.
Here is the CNN video of this amazing display of Clinton’s chutzpah and brazenness.
Bill is a piece of work, ain’t he? Barack better learn that they are in it for the kill. It ain’t bean-bag, Mr. Obama, for the Clintons it’s a blood sport.
