as the twig is bent

Howard Fineman on MSNBC: "I know, the Clintons are difficult to deal with and probably hope Obama fails."

In yet another example of the demonization of America's most recent Democratic president, Mr. Fineman is making the implicit assumption the Bill and Hillary Clinton are power-mad Doctor and Mrs. Evil types whose every move is a carefully calculated effort to destroy everything good and proper and make them Masters of the Planet.

You know, Howard, you have no fucking idea whatsoever of what is going on in the minds of two influential people who have left a trail of accomplishments behind them unmatched by anybody on the right.

I've often said that you can tell a lot about what a family is like by observing their children.

Chelsea Clinton is a well-educated, cultured, intelligent young woman whose modesty and virtue have never been impugned.

Now we have a vice-presidential candidate whose young daughter is known to be a drug user and party girl and who was impregnated at the age of sixteen by another young drug user and hell-raiser, who openly claims that he wasn't the only one that tapped that ass. Her eldest son, soon to depart for Iraq as US military, has been known to be a long-time user of oxycontin and crack cocaine.



Now tell me which family lacks character.
