Part of the fun of politics is watching someone with talent brutally slander the opposition. Scott Johnson, who blogs at
Power Line, shows up today with some fine down-home
Clinton bashing - yes, both of them. You might conclude he doesn't love them much.
Essence of Clinton gives us first and foremost the voracious and insatiable appetites of William Jefferson Clinton. Neither taste nor shame can limit them.
Madam Hillary serves as his co-dependent enabler. It is not a pretty sight.
They give us naked prevarication as they they follow their old scandal playbook and test new frontiers in scandal management.
They give us massive corruption under cover of philanthropy.
They give us politics as a criminal enterprise.
They show us the power of sociopathology in democratic politics. How empowering to operate freely without a conscience.
Johnson finishes by quoting Jonah Goldberg, "The Clintons are like the Tudors of the Ozarks." At this point Johnson adds:
Combined with Huckleberry Finn’s friends the duke and the dauphin.
I'll take his word on the Tudors, but Huck's two implausible con artists I know well.
