Well! No sooner do I write about how Bill Clinton seems to be gliding smoothly across the surface of our latest moral panic, than prominent Democrats seem suddenly to notice that the man is in fact, as so many of his victims had been trying to tell everyone for decades, a loathsome sexual predator. I had no idea this humble blog was so influential!
Here, for example, is New York’s junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, honking that Mr. Clinton should have resigned when his usage of Monica Lewinski as a disposable sexual plaything became, despite his lies about it all, public knowledge.
Sorry, toots. If that’s the way you really feel about it, you should have distanced yourself from these grifters long ago, rather than toiling last year to return them to the White House. To do so only now is, obviously and insultingly, naked political self-interest and nothing more. What do you take us for?
Meanwhile: Al Franken. As someone said online today, this will give us all chance to brush up on how to spell “schadenfreude”.
Is it any wonder that people despise politicians?

“I had no idea this humble blog was so influential!” Oh but it is in a subtle way. I saw a Twitter entry right after the Weinstein scandal got so big that also mentioned Trump. I don’t recall verbatim, but it went:
We tolerated Harvey until you found out about us. We tolerated Trump until we found out he was a Republican.
I can’t help but think that the consequences of the 1960s-1970s sexual permissiveness are starting to reveal themselves. Hugely!
Yes, Whitewall, isn’t it amazing how suddenly after 30-40 years morality comes into play. But then again it always seems like the left eventually eat their own.
Robert,
Yes, just ask Robespierre. Jacobinism is a dangerous game.
Al Franken as inspiration for “schadenfreude”? It actually warms my heart.
