I saw this noted on Sister Toldjahs Blog, and honestly, that is the best I can do to summarize it.

Apparently the facts were wrong, making it a lie, except that the essence was correct making it Clintonian truth.  Kinda. I can’t sort it out really.  And really, it doesn’t matter.

What this boils down to is Clinton heard a sob story and ran with it.

That’s what politicians do.  They latch on to a story they figure can be sympathetic, and they tell ti over and over to make their point.

What made this such a gross debacle is that Clinton didn’t bother to have her staff do a bitty little thing called fact checking.  So the family got run through the wringer, as did the hospital, all so she can make a few points.

Here is the real truth.  She doesn’t care about this woman or her family, except where it intersects her desire to get votes.  She doesn’t care about you or me and our lives except where we can be manipulated to cede her more power, fame and wealth.

She doesn’t care about the truth, the facts or the reality of the problem, just how she can use it.

But who cares?  The facts don’t matter, just the feel.

Feel free to parse through this list of links.  It is by no means comprehensive…maybe you can find the truth.

911 Truthers are the poster children of deranged conspiracy theory fools. 

They love to confront anyone to forward their insanity, like when Bill Maher turkey walked them off of his live show last week (strong language warning).

This week they tangled with former President Clinton, who was also in no mood for it.

Here are clips from both and as a bonus, the last clip is Bill’s opinion of the Truthers from his New Rules segment.

I admit I give many liberals a bad time for their ideology, but in this case it goes to show that even liberals have their limits on irrationality.  Maybe there is some hope.

One of my all time favorite TV shows is the 80’s and 90’s sitcom Roseanne.

Roseanne when it came out could have been a portrait of my life.  At the time I was not well off financially, and was dealing with a lot of stress and unhappiness with laughter and sarcasm.

It was one of the first sitcoms to portray what life for most working class people was like:  A struggle with highs and lows. It also, as Roseanne Barr notes in her DVD commentary, clearly showcases the disconnect in class in America.

But.  One of the things I do struggle with is Roseanne herself, the actress, the comedienne and the activist.

I perused her blog and was shocked at how she can flip from crazy to wacky in no time at all.

Here are some examples from Roseanne World.   WARNING:  EXTREME LANGUAGE AHEAD

On Anne Coulter:

Ann Coulter

She serves a purpose, and a part of that is disturbing. When any woman with opinions speaks up - including Anne (the mouthpiece for Aryan womanhood) - she is the victim of verbal sexual assault. Her genitals and sexuality are gleefully insulted: she has an Adam’s apple, she likes getting fucked in the ass… This is wrong in any case, even hers. It demeans all women to do it. She can be debated intelligently, and if she would allow me that, I would be honored to do it, as I think she makes some valid points about the failures of the left in this country.

A clear thinking, fair rational piece.  Now flip to:

Ann Coulter’s Anti-Semitism

The ultimate state of the perfection of Jews: they are all dead.

This is what is actually in the minds of Bush/Cheney and all Christians of the right who run this country, and ironically, are the major supporters of the state of Israel’s ride to ruin which is coming very quickly.

In all fairness to Mr Clinton here is an old video that Clinton actually approved of as he was leaving office, and it shows the man as having a very good sense of humor. 

Gotta Love Jay Leno.

Note, the original video was removed, but here is a longer one that showcases a lot of media reacoitn and has the leno clip at the end.
