Thanks Greg for posting this.

I'm really concerned about the Clinton campaign, and I'm not alone in believing it totally unprepared to handle a 21st Century White House.

I've been watching Bill Clinton on the campaign trail for awhile and to me it looks like he is drunk quite often. I could be wrong, it could be blood pressure medication or some other pharmaceutical, but he's on something.

Get OUT of MY YARD!! IS EXCELLENT NEWS!! FOR HILLARY!!!

Last dog dying of Alzheimers

I just heard Joe Scar quote Hillary as saying "We have to win in Iraq and we have to win in Afganistan." Is this true? Has anyone else reported on this?

I don't believe it, but he just said it right now on MSNBC.

I don't think Hillary wants to "win in Iraq"!

I'm sorry to see this. I don't think this is just ordinary forgetfulness. I hope that he is healthy.

And no, the country doesn't Bill Clinton in the White House. Or in the VP residence, either.

But the best part of this is that in the same interview quoted above by Greg Bill actually goes on to say the thing he is denying to have said.

NBC/NJ: “Sir, what did you mean yesterday when you said that the Obama campaign was playing the race card on you?”

CLINTON: “When did I say that, and to whom did I say that?”

NBC/NJ: “On WHYY radio yesterday”

CLINTON: “No, no, no. That’s not what I said. You always follow me around and play these little games, and I’m not going to play your games today. This is a day about election day. Go back and see what the question was, and what my answer was. You have mischaracterized it to get another cheap story to divert the American people from the real urgent issues before us, and I choose not to play your game today...."
[testy back-and-forth ensues]

INTERVIEWER (RE: Jackson comment): “Do you think that was a mistake, and would you do that again?"

CLINTON: "No. I think that they played the race card on me....

Some one needs to hand Bill a post-it before every interview with the words: "YouTube/Internet/24 Hour News Cycle" on it.

It's not 1992 anymore.

Who are you going to believe Bimbo Bill, the guy who lies under oath or the audio tape of what he said?

"I did not have racial insinuations with that recording, Miss Replayski"! Bimbo Bill Clinton.

Aha, the backtracking begins ... he must have heard an earful from his wife. I really do feel sorry for him - he is out of touch and slightly delusional, and the world he knew no longer exists. Sad, really...if he had stuck to his Foundation work and taken a less visible role in the campaign he would have faired much better.

So...

playing the race card is the new race card.

What I mean is that, at the end of the day, Clinton has managed to get us (and PA voters) thinking about race yet again, just in time for the undecided voters to break.

I'm amazed.

President Clinton is the main story on MSNBC.

The truth is Obama and his media played the race card for his radical spiritual adviser wrightgate.

Good for President Clinton on taking the high road to focus on today's vote.

Exactly. Letting what he said just LAY there would be better than contradicting himself and lying and coming off all assholish.

Please stop Bill, before I have to eat EVERY nice word ever uttered about you.
Now really, if Bill had NEVER SAID A WORD this campaign season, where would HRC's candidacy be right now? Surely no worse than it is already.

Just wave Bill. Just wave. Cut his mike!

All this is good for the Clintons. We have you right where we want you. We have you just in our sights. Just you wait and see. Muhahahahahahahahahaha. Be right back gotta go count my money.

Bill has lost his goddamn mind!

Or perhaps more likely, the whole family has a perverse pathological addiction to lying:

LOL

Clinton gets caught bold-faced lying and tries to play the "let's talk about the real issues" line which from him is the very definition of hypocrisy since the man had no problem bringing up every distraction in the book, including whining about the mean mean OBama camp allegedly "playing the race card" and then lying about saying it, then in the next breath saying it again, just in the past 48 hours.

BTW, how's Hillary and her Col. Kong imitation riding the bomb down onto Teheran (ala Dr. Strangelove) policy working for us all?

The Clintons' statements do make more sense when you realize they assume everything they say is immediately forgotten by voters and the media by the time the next speech or interview rolls around. They'd be the favorite candidate of the guy from "Memento."

"I. Did. Not. Have. Sexual. Relations. With. That. Woman."

Bill has a history of having a fairly casual relationship with the truth, but this is just NUTS.

Great.

H-Bomb Hillary is threating to nuke a country that doesn't have nukes yet if they use their hypothetical nukes against a country that does have them and would obliterate them before we could even launch and Bill is apparently losing his mind before our pitying eyes.

Yeah, we totally need this team back in the White House again.

The disrespect of a great leader and President of your party proves you are trolls and should not be posting on a Dem blog.

Wait for the lizards to open their doors and post at the lgf trolls.

You are not Dems and they agree with your hate over there.

Or ARG and Zogby... the two worst.

I find it amusing this CLinton troll thinks that posting polls which show Clinton failing to make any real gains in PA as amusing by failing to win in double digits (the baseline was her winning PA by 20%) is an example of moving the goalposts writ large.

Well! What happened to your idol anyway? Getting crushed in a humongous electoral state he outspent her 4:1 is a victory only if it's by 20%? You guys are fucking HILARIOUS. I never heard her say once she had to win by any percentage, certainly not 20% - but the artificial baseline set by Lord Kos isn't moving the goalposts? I wish it were possible for you to see how utterly clueless this post looks in the real world.

There is another, more serious, explanation, which I'd feel bad about if it turns out to be true. Bill Clinton could be showing the symptoms of early onset Alzheimer's, and he could really have no clue that he had said the things he has said. Although he showed the same symptoms back in the 90s when he couldn't remember his protracted affair with his intern, which takes us back to the original diagnosis. For his sake I hope he is just a pathological liar because seeing him make an ass of himself in such a public way due to the effects of a serious disease would be pretty sad. I would really feel bad for him. Although he could perhaps make some good out of it by becoming a spokesperson for Alzheimer's awareness, kind of like Bob Dole was for erectile dysfunction. Either way, they should probably take him out of the field.

That's just creepy freaky. Bill Clinton is obviously losing his mind. I think he needs a nice long vacation. I hear Colombia is lovely this time of year.

Wow. You know, when everyone was elated about Bill getting elected the first time I thought, "Suckered dumbasses." I thought his character was obvious... he wore it on his sleeve. I don't think he has ever changed, really.

I cannot believe the press has not picked up on the one racist fact of this campaign. Black people are voting for Oilbama primarily because he is black. Forget about the issues. How racist is that?

This just in ... Hillary has just nuked Bill into oblivion.

OK:

Let me get this straight:

This is a memo from SC?? 4 life times ago??

From Politico's mouth to Election Central's page.

2nd: From Bill's mouth/Clinton campaign to TPM's ears and Election Central's page.

Don't you know that you are being played?? That race has reemerged (in this particular way) upon returning to the South (NC)and near-South (Indiana)??

Geez! Will you never learn and stop allowing the Clintons' to use you ("you"=TPM and supposedly "independent" media?).

Don't you ever feel insulted??

It's just how white folks are. Black folks: never forget that this is the end result, no matter how nicely they talk to your face.

Bill said they playED the race card on him not that they are playING the race card on him.

You gotta focus on the tense...just like it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is.

My thing is that the Obama camapign could not have compiled a list of race-baiting statements had Bill not made them! So the Obama campaign never playED the race card they merely wrote up a list to show the pattern of Bill's racial remarks.

So how could it have been their strategy to compile race baiting statements made by Bill when they would not have any idea of what would come out of Bill's mouth until AFTER he said it? Why wouldn't a master politician like Bill know they were going to do this and not give them the opening?

What Bill wants us to believe is that the Obama campaign had a strategy all along that knew Bill was going to appeal to racists and planned write a memo on it to give to the media? That is crystall ball strategy...and if true says they underSTOOD how racist Bill is even if the public image of him is otherwise.

What I do not get is why folks are befuddled about why Bill is bringing race up again. It was always Bills intent to pander on the basis of race to create white racial solidarity for Hillary to win over the BLACK candidate.

His comments yesterday were nothing but the 'reverse discrimination' dogwhistle to the blue collar ethnic white boys! Recall Stepinfetchinopoulous played the 'affirmative action' card in the debate. So, clearly this was part of the Clinton campaign strategy in the last days before the vote.

Bill's appealing to the 'otherness' animosity and racial blame game of struggling white working class whites, which he knows WELL having grown up with this white mentality as it is pervasive in the south.

Just more Archie Bunker politics.
