Christopher Hitchens took Hillary Clinton to task earlier this week...it was rough. Click here for the article from Monday.
The article is basically an outline of why Hillary Clinton lied about her trip to Bosnia for her campaign. And it details things the Clinton administration during the conflict that were bad...Hitchens quite frankly paints Hillary as a monster.
It's hardly necessary for me to point out that the United States did not receive national health care in return for its acquiescence in the murder of tens of thousands of European civilians. But perhaps that is the least of it. Were I to be asked if Sen. Clinton has ever lost any sleep over those heaps of casualties, I have the distinct feeling that I could guess the answer. She has no tears for anyone but herself. In the end, and over her strenuous objections, the United States and its allies did rescue our honor and did put an end to Slobodan Milosevic and his state-supported terrorism. Yet instead of preserving a polite reticence about this, or at least an appropriate reserve, Sen. Clinton now has the obscene urge to claim the raped and slaughtered people of Bosnia as if their misery and death were somehow to be credited to her account! Words begin to fail one at this point. Is there no such thing as shame? Is there no decency at last? Let the memory of the truth, and the exposure of the lie, at least make us resolve that no Clinton ever sees the inside of the White House again.
And check out this article from the San Francisco Chronicle about Bill Clinton loosing it with the super delegates at the California state convention last week-end. Apparently, he feels that no one would ask Obama to quit if he were trailing by 1% among some other complaints listed in the article.</u>
Sounds like trouble in paradise, oh it's a beautiful day for anyone who was disappointed during the 90's.
Anyways, Oliver Stone (movie director) is working on a film about George W. Bush which one can assume will be flattering to the President. Eh. Stone's most recent movies have been rather unsuccessful so one can hope this movie is better. But the chances of that happening are rather low since the movies volition comes from the anti-Bush sentiment in Hollywood instead of the desire to make a good movie.
In fact the article describes that Stone has distilled down the war in Iraq into just being about Bush wanting to one up his father.
Stone, who mined psychological motives in his previous presidential movies, from the conspiratorial "JFK" to the dark character study of "Nixon," makes much of Bush's competitive relationship with his father and how it fueled his desire to invade Iraq.
Uh right, Stone, right, that's why the U.S. went to war in Iraq. Let's hope this movie is better than the movie he made about Alexander the Great.
