In a recent interview, Bill Clinton expressed sympathy for the #MeToo movement (which, as various wags have pointed out, can be read off as “Pound Me Too”), and said it was “overdue”.
I try not to write much about the Clintons anymore — they are perhaps the vilest and most contemptible public officials to have blackened the pages of American history in my lifetime, and I expect nothing from their mouths but filth and lies — but to see this lifelong sexual predator, very plausibly a paedophile and almost certainly a rapist, climbing down from his carrion-pile of broken lives (and probably worse) to utter such self-serving pieties still has the power to sicken me.

In his own mind, I doubt he thinks of himself as any kind of predator at all- they were all coming on to him, obviously- those hussies. Author and former corrections officer Rory Miller relates an anecdote that illuminates the mindset of a typical rapist- a prisoner uttered something to the effect of “I’m not a bad guy. I asked her politely and respectfully for sex; I wouldn’t have had to do what I did if she hadn’t said ‘no’. You’re a man, you know how it is“. A man like Mr. Clinton is constitutionally incapable of assigning himself blame for anything he’s done- observe his lifetime record of evasive, weasel-worded, non-apologetic “apologies”. I don’t think he talks like that to just to save public face and bamboozle the voters, I think he talks like that because he really believes he hasn’t done anything wrong.
