The Current Crisis
Return of the Episodic Apologists
Rallying around the Clintons yet again.
WASHINGTON — They are back! I speak of the Episodic Apologists who have been a phenomenon of the Clinton Saga since its earliest days back when the Clintons were flipping real estate and exchanging bad checks in Arkansas. The Episodic Apologists, like the legendary Court Historians of Franklin Roosevelt’s time, are an essential ingredient of the era in which they labor. The Court Historians gave us Roosevelt’s “One Hundred Days,” “He Saved Us From Communism,” and other legends of the 1930s — forget not, “He Ended the Great Depression.”
The Episodic Apologists are admittedly somewhat different. Drawn from the ranks of journalists, historians, and politicians, they have contributed more actively to the soap opera of the Clinton Saga than mere historians, for they are active participants in the drama. After every disappointment that the Clintons perpetrate these saps go into an emotional tailspin: with all their trembling alases, forsooths, and oh-woe-is-me’s. The Clintons were reputedly prodigies of public service; before he got caught with the fat intern, or the Independent Counsel fingered Hillary lying to the grand jury or scores of other scandals: Travelgate, Filegate, Bill’s impeachment, the plundering of the White House, the presidential pardons. Then there was his performance in the 2008 election.
After every major Clintonian scandal the Episodic Apologists go through their sorry act. The boobs are crestfallen. They denounce the Clintons in the firmest possible terms — terms not easily erased from the public record. I have them all on file. Then slowly, steadily, hope springs anew. Bill is “President of the World,” according to MSNBC. Or Hillary’s 2010 was a “good year” claims the Washington Post. Now along comes someone named Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post to note that all three Clintons have had their “Best year” in 2011 — “Mental note: Stop counting out the Clintons,” he writes.
Cillizza brings in the hapless Chelsea who has just signed a contract with NBC and been widely panned on her first interview. He praises a “fully rehabilitated” Bill Clinton for his new book, Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy, a repudiation of much of what Bill did right in policy terms during his presidency when the Boy President said “the era of Big Government is over.” Yet he saves his most sanctimonious adulation for Hillary who never lied to anyone, never obstructed justice, and now in 2011 “managed to stay gold” — yes, gold, not golden. Actually, in foreign policy the problems are multiplying as she flies around the world — “some 60 trips abroad and nearly 600,000 miles” — in her ineffectual bustling way. This secretary of state is no Dean Acheson or John Foster Dulles or Henry Kissinger. She might not even by a Cyrus Vance. She is a frequent flier without a clue.
This week a day after our last combat troops withdrew from Iraq the fragile coalition there is falling apart as the Shiite-dominated government orders the arrest of its Sunni vice president. North Korea’s tyrannical Kim Jong Il assumes room temperature, making way for his 28-year-old son, and as John Bolton says, “in defiance of all logic and history,” the Obama administration continues to negotiate “food aide for more empty promises to denuclearize.” Secretary of State Clinton has blundered in Egypt and Libya and, having prevailed on Morocco to liberalize, gives the King there no credit while awaiting the Muslim Brotherhood to warm up to us. The Arab spring has come and gone and winter is upon us with fewer friends in the area than before.
Hillary famously tried to “reset” policy with Russia and now has Vladimir Putin crudely badgering her for supposedly sending “a signal” to marshal his enemies. Moscow has grown increasingly authoritarian, committed aggression against the pro-American state of Georgia, supported our enemies such as Venezuela and Syria and in response Washington has pulled the plug on American allies Poland and the Czech Republic for supporting an American missile defense on their soil.
Then there is Iran. It is fast approaching the status of a nuclear power. It is as intransigent as ever. It is aiding terrorists intent on killing Americans. And Secretary of State Clinton steadfastly insists “we want to see the Iranians engage…. We are not giving up.”
These Episodic Apologists were part of the Clintons’ supporting cast in the 1990s and they were inadvertently a lot of fun. Now when they encourage Secretary of State Hillary’s ineptitude in time of war, they are not so amusing.

When the White House was finally vacated by the Clintons and the horror stories began to circulate concerning the condition that they left the place, I breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, if that's the worst that it will ever get, good riddance to bad rubbish."
Oh, how wrong I was in my assumptions. As the alien returns from yet another vacation on the public dole, the Clintons are found training the little one for statehood-to-come. What they fail to realize; at the rate we are going, they need not worry about any further refinements to her abilities.
Nemo| 12.22.11 @ 7:02AM
Don't forget the Falklaands. A word from America there could defuse the situation. There is no sign that word will come.
Grouchy| 12.22.11 @ 6:44AM
Bill is a fascinating scoundrel. Hillary is the most boring politician in America. She has nothing to say that is of the slightest interest to anybody.

Sorry, Grouchy. She's the most popular admired political figure in the country today.

RCV:
"She's (Hillary) the most popular admired political figure in the country today."
Wronga! She's the most admired WOMAN!
Proves the old saying "that there's no accounting for taste".
" For the third straight year, President Barack Obama ranks as the man most admired by people living in the U.S., according to an annual USA Today-Gallup poll.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most-admired WOMAN for the ninth year in a row, edging out former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and TV host Oprah Winfrey, as she did last year.
mzk1| 12.23.11 @ 5:13AM
I actually thought she would do better than this. She is evil, hurting the "little people" to get ahead, but she was a good at being a"retail politics" Senator.
Now itis clear that she is the most incompetent Secretary of State in 50 years. Not the worst in policy (athough she's pretty awful, and in any case Obama is to blame for that), but the least competent.
She's managed to retroactively lose the war in Iraq is one fell swoop. When the call comes at 3AM, I wnat he nowhere near the phone.
Michael Tomlinson| 12.22.11 @ 6:56AM
The only thing Bill Clinton did right as President was to reject his own agenda and let Republicans run the government (the successes he took credit for).
The only thing Hillary did was marry Bill and ride his coattails reminiscent of Obama's beard Michelle.

Bubba is very clever. The title of his book, "Why we need a Smart government...." clearly implies Obama is not smart.

The Clintons keep repeating like a bad B-grade movie. How long Oh Lord must we be blasted with their ineptitude?
Hillary (named after the intreped climber by the way) keeps jet setting around the globe. What has she done? Very little except fly. No accords, no agreements, nothing. The blind Secretary of State.
Bill, well he has put out a book. Whoopie!! Get a life and take up handiwork, maybe building Habitats for Humanity, if he can saw and hammer a nail.
Chelsie? She can't do anything. But she apparantly has been placed on the fast track to be a reporter, and of course state management.
I would say they're like the three monkeys-hear no evil, do no evil, and see no evil, but that's completely wrong. They're all three very good at it.
Gregory DA| 12.22.11 @ 9:15AM
Hillary Clinton was born in 1947. Nobody knew of Sir Edmund Hillary then. His Everest climb was in 1953. Not so surprisingly, she has revised her own history to make herself more interesting.
Louis Jenkins| 12.22.11 @ 4:26PM
That's exactly what I meant. Hillary says she was named after him, but it is all poppycock.
USSAlabama| 12.22.11 @ 12:35PM
Isn't Hillary being named for Sir Edmund a little like Obama saying Selma, Alabama was the reason for his birth?

Ah, yes. There they are. The Hillbillaries. The Pail of Worms, the RAPIST, and the Jew Hating Congenital Liar. The veritable Cream of the Crop, of Liberal Royalty. And, who's that behind them? Is that one of Bill's Man Servants, from the Liberal Plantation? (His Mentor - William Fulbright - would be so proud.)
"Don't count the Clintons out"? Are you kidding me? Why would we do that?
We've got the Rapist Son of a DRUNK, and a WH*RE, as far as I can tell. His Mentor was a Civil Rights Denier who had Eye Slits in his Pillow Cases. He Protested against this Country, in MOSCOW, at the height of the Cold War. when he wasn't chasing Tail at Conventions, in the Oval Office, alongside the Oval Office, or with that Black Miss Arkansas, (who's kid looks awfully familiar) He was pulling down his pants and exposing "little willy". He's a RAPIST. And, if that wasn't enough? He's a treasure trove of Memorable Quotables. (Mine favorite being: "You might wanna put some ice on that?)
You've got Hillary. She, of the Battered Wife Syndrome. The Conservative Republican, turned Liberal Feminist Democrat. (That's what 4 years at Lesbian University will do to a girl.) She's incapable of telling the truth. Never met a Jew she didn't think was a "Bastard". And never earned anything ON HER OWN, in her life.
And, speaking of that. Let's not forget Amy Carter's fiercest challenger yet, in the Ugliest 1st Daughter Contest. How Screwed up is this poor thing? Her Dad is a Rapist, a Serial Misogynist, a Pathological Liar, an Indecent Exposer, a Crook and a Thief. And her Mother is a Pathetic example of a woman who's suffered a lifetime of Emotional Trauma, and Abuse, from a Husband in a Loveless Marriage. That's her DNA.
The poor thing is "Homelier than a Pail a Worms", she Married a guy who looks just like her father (Is there a Psychiatrist in the house?) and,( wouldn't you know it?) is having the same problems with the CLONE, as her Mother had with the Original.
But, hey. Don't count those Clintons out, just yet. After all...They're America's Dysfunctional Family.
Occam's Tool| 12.22.11 @ 12:09PM

Bill O’Reilly was so obsequious to Boy Clinton on Fox News that I had to check to see if I had mistakenly tuned to MSNBC. Are there any conservatives left on Fox?

There really aren't. I stopped watching a loooong time ago.
Nunya| 12.22.11 @ 3:51PM
Bill started sliding down that left-leaning rail some time ago, I stopped watching him years ago. Frankly, I think he just wants to be liked anymore, when at one time I thought he stood on principle.
Delta Zelda| 12.22.11 @ 8:30PM
Just look at the soft questions in his pre-Super Bowl interview. O'Reilly is about as conservative as John McCain.
mzk1| 12.23.11 @ 5:19AM
Look, he IS the President.
albert constantine jr.| 12.22.11 @ 9:07AM
I disagree with the characterization of Hillary as a victim of Battered Wife Syndrome (or as a “victim” of just about anything). I think she could more accurately be depicted as the Bonnie to Bill’s Clyde, willing to endure his serial philandering as his charisma has enabled her to get more access to the power to control others that she craves.
Zak Klemmer| 12.22.11 @ 9:14AM
Absolutely!
Claypoole| 12.22.11 @ 9:51AM
Hillary trades humiliation for power. Bill, of course, and remember when Obama gave her the finger during the 2008 campaign? And now she's his secretary of state.
The Paratrooper| 12.22.11 @ 9:20AM
In the Clintons we can see the depths to which America has descended. Mrs. Clinton is a hostile, angry person who suffers from extreme paranoia and lacks all but self promotional skills.
Mr. Clinton has the intellect of an over-sexed 16 year old and the same skill as his wife. But Like one of his most used appendages, his ego is gigantic and throbbing every minute of everyday. He truly believes himself to be The Great Statesman. The United States is awash in trailer park trash.
TrueBlue| 12.22.11 @ 3:01PM
Hey now, don't insult people who live in trailer parks like that...
mzk1| 12.23.11 @ 5:20AM
Amen. Bill and Hilary aren't trash, they are actualy evil, hurting the "little people" for their own benefit.
Anthony| 12.22.11 @ 9:41AM
The Clintons make all leftist reprobates feel good about themselves. Anyone of them can tower over the Clintons in high moral and ethical splendor, not an easy task given that most leftists wallow in the same moral and ethical swamp.
Maybe the trolls in the leftist media just miss their favorite re-run, "The Chapaqua Hillbillies".
I wonder of the OWS crowd, with their useless degrees, resent Chelsea getting the NBC gig over all those other unemployed B.A.s with jouralism and communications degrees?
Do they know that's the real 1% in action????
rhoetus| 12.22.11 @ 9:42AM
The Paratrooper: My parents lived in a trailer park and they were decent people. For pure humbug look no farther than Yale and Harvard.
Anthony| 12.22.11 @ 9:53AM
Good point rhoetus. And that's why I refer to Bill Clinton as "white trash with a Yale law degree", sans the reference to trailer parks.

Why doesn't AS have an article on why the House GOP is not extending the payroll tax cut - especially right before the holidays this uncertainty is killing the American people. Vote them all out in November
JimP| 12.22.11 @ 10:35AM
You don't really think that two months of contributions amount to anything significant do you? They passed the 1 year extension Obama asked for, but the Dems turned that down. This 'tax cut' has been in effect for a year and hasn't produced the jobs Obama said it would.
Purp| 12.22.11 @ 12:30PM
Ah, ya it has - CBO says it did and we will lose 400,000 jobs if it's not extended and .5 off the GDP growth for 2012. Do some homework ...
Nunya| 12.22.11 @ 4:01PM
Purp, you really need to stop sniffing glue. Really.
It is not possible for us to lose 400,000 jobs because they fail to cut the FICA tax by 2%. That's complete and utter BS. If you would learn some basic economics 101, you would learn that the government doesn't create the economy, the economy is created by private business. Only a socialist (or one who thinks like a socialist) thinks the government can or shouldcompletely control the economy. The governement influences the economy through regulation and a thousand other ways it puts its tentacles into the economy, but it is still private business that is the engine of the economy.
Purp| 12.22.11 @ 4:50PM
Go argue with the Congressional Budget Office - those are their numbers, not mine, not Obama's, not ever the Republicants numbers. The rest of you note is ridiculous - who said the government should control everything - that's all you guys ever say. Well, if you have a gun, you will shoot everyone, so you shouldn't have one. See how stupid it sounds.

Is this the talking point you received by email from teh DNC and Chuckie Schumer?

Won't the payroll tax reduction, which funds Social Security, create a larger deficit for SS?
Purp| 12.22.11 @ 12:31PM
No, it's paid for... 2 months is all they could agree on. But pass it, they have 2 months to negotiate the full year... geesh!
JmsA| 12.22.11 @ 2:40PM
Two months extension? Why not extend it for an entire year and be done with it? Could it be that you and you demosocialists want to interject another crisis in the middle of the Republican primaries?
Purp| 12.22.11 @ 4:53PM
Republicants wouldn't agree with Democrats on how to pay for it for more than 2 months, that's why. Your House of Republicants once again are trying to hold the American people hostage, just like they did for the Debt ceiling and funding of the government. If they and you think the people haven't figured out who is playing politics, you aren't watching the polls.

It's always been amazing to me that whatever an impeached and despicable ex-president has to say or think about any current event or issue should matter to anyone or any entity (?).
I remember Don Imus commenting on his radio show one morning -- a couple of weeks after the Clintons were showed the White House exit -- on something one of them had been quoted by the media, and he said, "Good Lord! When will these people just go away?"
Unfortunately, they still ain't "gone away", Don...
O Tamandua| 12.22.11 @ 10:54AM
Here's what I think so many remember during the Clintons' era, even though inside they were no less radical than BHO.
The 1996 Olympics were held in Atlanta, and I lived in that metro area when they occurred. The slogan for the city at the time? "Atlanta - Home of the American dream." And it WAS. Jobs were plentiful. Housing was economical. The cost of living never seemed high. Our standard of living seemed to keep going up. And, MAN, was there optimism for the future, with this new thing called the "World Wide Web" which gave us information at our fingertips we'd never seen the likes of, and promised (and delivered in many ways) far more. At the time, it was evident that this prosperity was not just limited to Georgia's largest metro area.
I think that was the biggest obstacle Sen. Bob Dole had for all the Clinton problems. But it's the starkest contrast I can think of between the end of President Clinton's first term and the same time frame for his successor, Barack Obama.
Occam's Tool| 12.22.11 @ 12:11PM
Yup--the Clinton era prosperity---brought to you, lest we forget, by Newt Gingrich.
Purp| 12.22.11 @ 4:54PM
As I recall, the Republicants in the Congress hated Clinton - he triangulated them so much they couldn't get traction. He played them like a bunch of patsies - Newt did nothing.
Marc Jeric| 12.22.11 @ 6:31PM
I confess that I do not like Gingrich too much; but, on the other hand, Gingrich shoved down the throat of that disbarred felon Clinton the welfare reform and 4 years of balanced budgets with suplusses.
rhoetus| 12.22.11 @ 12:49PM
O Tamandus: Those were good time indeed. We had the "Peace Dividend" after the end of the Cold War. It was good while it lasted until the Fed's policies spun out of control and its house of cards came crashing down.
skep41| 12.22.11 @ 1:51PM
Tyrell is getting lazy. Admittedly even a partial list of the Clints' failures and felonies would tax a Mencken or even a Gibbon but shouldnt the author of the subprime mortgage crisis receive a nod for his good work in making home ownership affordable for those with even the meanest incomes...people like Chinese street vendors who were so effusive in their support of Dragon Lady's bowlegged run for the White House? Just an add-on...I have to run. I've recorded Chelsea's appearances with Brian Williams and am doing a marathon. Now that she's old enough shouldnt Gillibrand resign and give back Hillary's Senate seat?

The pic that heads the article reminds of a scene from 'Gladiator.' Remember when Commudus returns to Rome in full regalia, after murdering Marcus Aurelius, with his sister on the chariot? The crowd is shouting - yes - but it is chorus of disdain: 'who the hell do you think you are?' Hillary still thinks there is a pleased crowd out there! No wonder most (not all) former Presidents and their families try to stay out of the way.
Marc Jeric| 12.22.11 @ 6:25PM
I remember Hillary's testimony under oath to the grand jury that lasted 2 full hours, and during which she declare 140 times "I don't remember" or "I don't recall". That's one such answer every 17 seconds. And that's who we have serving us as the Secretary of our State Department?
It is of small relief that in her work she is ably assisted by her husband, that impeached disbarred felon ex-President Bill Clinton. Both of them are a pride of our Democrat Party now in power, gearing up for another 4 years of rampant, prosperity-destroying socialism.

For all you Ron Paul fans. The reason we have the Clintons permanently ensconced on the public stage is due to third party candidate Ross Perot.

The Clintons have long since worn out their welcome. If Hillary is sooo wonderful, why couldn't she beat the Chump-in Chief? It's not like the two of them (Hillary and Obama) weren't willing to lie,cheat, and steal their way in office.

Merry Christmas!
The worst of the Clintons is they sold our Nuclear knowledge to the Chinese. They had over 155 people killed. Their Liberal agenda is to destroy America and Commie Obama is worse than they. Lies and Liars and America sleeps

Emmett,
As a fellow IU grad I want to thank you for this article. Hillary would be in the kitchen baking cookies-and probably making a mess of that,too-if she hadn't married Bill. She is clueless. I feel sorry for Chelsea, she just proves what a joke this whole family is.

"Understand, every world leader
who signed the UN charter, who
has sworn an oath to the private,
ultra-rich, TAX FREE foundations
and occult societies ---has sworn
on to work for world government.
Every one of them has already
committed TREASON against their
own nation."
THINK Bushes, Clintons, Obamas.
----And now, Barack Obama chairing the
UN Security Council, serving in 2 posts,
and to a foriegn entity, in DIRECT
and flagrant VIOLATION of the
U.S. Constituion.
Welcome to 'world govern---ANTS'.
Get ready for HUAC ---meets BEYOND
