I cannot help myself. Even though teh Obamessiah™ is now almost certain to be the opponent in November, I still seek out and laugh at examples of lefty columnists writing plain truths that we have known for years about Hillary! Like they have some sort of amazing insight!!
(OMG, I have a secret to tell you: Hillary Clinton is a liar!!!! No, seriously, she tells lies!!!!)
This time it’s the unerringly pompous Richard Cohen, who reveals some blindingly obvious facts about Hillary - namely that she couldn’t tell truth from a broomhandle up her arse, a truism which he’s only just noticed: oh but by the way, Hillary’s lying is Bush’s fault!!
The story was just plain nuts — and Clinton herself has been at a loss to explain it. But for many voters, it encapsulated their suspicion, their anxiety, their hesitation about Clinton: She lies.
NEVER!!!! Really??????
…but let me suggest Bush’s “worst legacy” is what he has done to whatever trust Americans still had in their government. This administration’s incessant lying, its secrecy — its creepy Cheneyism with its petty justifications for torture and violation of privacy — is its worst legacy, one that will endure long after Wal-Mart opens a branch in Sadr City. Only an idiot would trust this government.
See? Hillary is a liar because Bush secretly tortured Iraqi children and listened to their cellphone conversations in Dick Cheney’s basement. It’s not hard!!
And that Wal-Mart gag? Comedy gold.
Maybe we could have Ricardo Cohen’s views on the secrecy surrounding Vince Foster turning up, ahem, dead, in the White House Counsel’s Office. I won’t wait for that little gem.
Errrm, but incessant lying, Little Richard? With not one example cited? Not one???Surely if the lying were so ‘incessant’ we might be treated to a little ‘for instance’ by a writer of Mr Cohen’s (self) importance? Mais non. Rien.
He does include one HUMDINGER in his final paragraph, though; revealing the feelings of 60% of Americans (who have felt this way for 16 years, while Dick Cohen was rubbing himself at the thought of Bill’s Great Works™):
Now, about 60 percent of the electorate doubts her honesty.
We do, we do, but only due to your guidance, oh perspicacious one. Thank you.

The disingenuous leftist MSM is so busy hacking (much like a furball from our cat)out crap about GW there is never time or NEED–for that matter–to point out facts that backup said “furball”. Hence the term truthyness is bestowed upon the works of these little egotistical left wing pompous jackasses.
…nice post, great read!! BTW, thanks.

Sierrahome, NOBODY does snark like Martin.
Pure brilliance.
I can explain Vince Foster, though:
It was a hit put out by Bush ‘41, carried out by W on his behalf, because ‘41 was still pissed about 1992. Just like W invaded Iraq because of assassination threats on his dad!

There’s going to be a major unemployment crisis when Bush leaves office. So many of these shills who’ve built there career on bashing Bush will be out of a job when he’s not around to misquote and twist his words.
