Billary Livid About Comparison to Weiner
Headline of the day: Bill and Hillary Clinton are ‘livid’ at comparisons to Weiner’s sexcapades and Huma’s forgiveness.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are angry with efforts by mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner and his campaign to compare his Internet sexcapades — and his wife Huma Abedin’s incredible forgiveness — to the Clintons’ notorious White House saga, The Post has learned.
“The Clintons are upset with the comparisons that the Weiners seem to be encouraging — that Huma is ‘standing by her man’ the way Hillary did with Bill, which is not what she in fact did,’’ said a top state Democrat.
Hahahahahahaha.
P.S. I already explained how Bill and Hillary were nothing like Weiner and Huma. They were far worse.
Hillary!(tm) does not want anyone stealing her mojo.
SPQR (768505) — 7/29/2013 @ 8:17 amYou know, it is important at this time to remind EVERYONE about the “vast right wing conspiracy” bit that Hillary invented during an interview…about Bill’s bimbos…which turned out to be true.
I used to get so sick of the MSM demanding that GWB “apologize” for things. Maybe Hillary should.
Except we know the drill: deny, divert, and the claim it is ancient history.
Which is why they are mad at Huma right now.
Simon Jester (e7ff72) — 7/29/2013 @ 8:23 amWeiner and Huma are the ones who should be livid.
Far as I know Weiner didn’t lie under oath, subjugate helpless interns/subordinates, threaten same when exposed nor require a bimbo brigade.
harkin (576452) — 7/29/2013 @ 8:30 am“They were far worse.”
Indeed, the likes of O’Beria would merely have fetched their coffee.
gary gulrud (dd7d4e) — 7/29/2013 @ 8:30 am“Hahahahahahaha”. Right on. Now because Huma is a Muslim, for the forgiveness and tears tour, does Weiner have to substitute out black preachers for Louie Farrakhan?

nk (875f57) — 7/29/2013 @ 8:43 amBill: Yes, dear.
Hillary: If you’d been married to Huma instead of me, would you still have uh you know …?
Hillary: Oh hell yeah, honey. Ain’t no way I can keep it in my pants, no matter who I’m married to.
Bill: You always know how the say the nicest things, Bill.
No, I did not mess up the names on purpose but maybe I should have. Two bodies, one soul.
nk (875f57) — 7/29/2013 @ 8:46 amI don’t get it. I would think that having Bill Clinton officiate at your wedding pretty much announces that it is a sham arrangement built upon political expediency.

AT BEST.
She may have been an enabler for his alleged sexual assault and definitely aided in covering up and/or discrediting any possible witnesses/victims.(see: bimbo eruptions)
She and he have had a political marriage almost since day one at Yale.
An examination of her “career” and various escapades at the Rose Law firm would indicate that she used her marriage/relationship with the Governor of Arkansas to perpetrate illegal schemes for the sole purpose of financial and political gain.
She is a mediocre administrator, a weak and ineffectual speaker and is unable to stand up to any scrutiny of her past or present.
Her appearance on tv for that critical interview made the difference and she lied throughout.
Just like HUMA has.
Jcw46 (6106c6) — 7/29/2013 @ 9:07 amSomehow I think the old monogamous married couple model is not generally believed or followed by progressives. Which makes me suspect their overall agenda in tinkering with the institution.
Feel free to link this to the 72% unmarried birth rate in the progressive Black community, compelling religious objectors to pay for birth control, and general support for euthanasia-abortion.
They are leading us to Generation Z, the end of the line.
Amphipolis (d3e04f) — 7/29/2013 @ 9:09 amIf the Democrat Party really wanted Weiner out, he’d be gone. Instead, they allow him to remain unzipped and flopping around, pretending they’re disturbed at his behavior while working behind the scenes to paper towel the mess. HA is incredibly valuable to the Left. That’s being downplayed for the moment. Weiner has left elites and little people feeling dissatisfied. But, his worth has not been destroyed in entirety.

Steve57 (a65996) — 7/29/2013 @ 12:34 pmThe Left own these walking catastrophes in their party. At what point does the hardcore Left decide enough is enough and put an end to propping up spent members of their party. What does humanity have to endure before the people in charge stop the assault, pull the plug and end the pain. Keeping seats blue at any cost no matter how many women get hurt by coddling overly sexualized middle aged toddlers is repugnantly irresponsible. We taxpayers simply cannot afford what will come down the pike.

Also, Mr. Feet, the rumor dating from the Paula Jones testimony is that Bill’s member is dog-legged left (naturally), whereas the pictures of weiner’s Weiner from The Dirty indicate that it is — how to say — traditionally shaped.
JVW (23867e) — 7/29/2013 @ 12:58 pmGotta be careful here, some of this is the Left’s refusal to actually uphold any ethical boundaries on its darlings. But some of this is the power elite’s contempt for the masses, regardless of ideology.
Weiner and Abedin are prime examples of the crony version of politics. They got into the corridors of power and are now tapped into the corruption troughs full time. (That’s how they pay for that tony lifestyle without ever having a real job in their lives) Those troughs are tended by the power elites bagmen and those bagmen don’t want to lose their investment.

You know, if the Left wanted it to be, there’d be a dirty prick lying flaccid in the bush, adjacent to a driveway while HA hurriedly backs out and peels out of the neighborhood at the speed of light.

gary gulrud (dd7d4e) — 7/29/2013 @ 3:20 pmOT, but remember how the usual suspects were OK with the food stamp fraud because it was allegedly helping feed people, even if it was a violation of the law?
turns out that most of the food is being sold on the black market.

htom (412a17) — 7/29/2013 @ 5:08 pmI’m still ok with it, redc14. I don’t care how hungry people are fed as long as they’re fed. And I’ve already pointed out that it’s American farmers and agribusiness and the politicias from agricultural states, more than sucka** bleeding-hearts like me, who are responsible for the food stamp programs.
nk (875f57) — 7/29/2013 @ 5:26 pmThe reason Weiner Waver is still in the race is he has a $4 million campaign kiddie and matching funds that he can spend freely as long as he is running for office. Once he drops out they take away that ATM card.
Bugg (b32862) — 7/29/2013 @ 5:53 pmand i’m not okay with it because fraud is fraud.
the immorality of the program is different than criminals stealing from it: both are wrong and neither is acceptable, no matter how many excuses you come up with.
redc1c4 (abd49e) — 7/29/2013 @ 5:56 pmWhy does anybody think that black market food is feeding the hungry?
elissa (399805) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:01 pmBugg #34 – Wiener has a card for being All-Terrain Meshuggeneh ?
Alastor (bec714) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:03 pmBecause only the hungry would pay black market prices for rice and beans, maybe? We’re not talking rhinoceros meat, here. Just what exactly is the difference between “black market” and “free market”, anyway? The black market would not exist if there were an adequate “white market” food distribution system.
nk (875f57) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:06 pmnk #33 – I could possibly be OK with it if it was feeding the genuinely-hungry, rather than feeding the prosperity of varying levels of thieves, fraudsters, and other forms of money-hungry criminal exploiters of others …
Sadly, too much foreign aid ends up feeding dependency, not the genuinely-hungry …
Alastor (bec714) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:06 pm“Just what exactly is the difference between “black market” and “free market”, anyway? The black market would not exist if there were an adequate “white market” food distribution system.”
nk – As described by redc1c4 above, the criminal act is just like buying designer dresses that fell of the back of a truck at a huge discount to retail. The concept is not rocket surgery. It’s is a fraud on the taxpayers if the person reselling the food should not be eligible for food stamps in the first place, but Dems don’t want to look at food stamp or other government fraud because it implicates part of their base and besides, who needs another “phony” scandal to distract people from President Trayvon’s 573rd pivot to jobs and saving the middle class from his economic policies.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:16 pm“The black market would not exist if there were an adequate “white market” food distribution system.”
nk – The issue is an entitlement program, not a food distribution system.

what does it matter!!!!!
actually, if you read the story, the food we pay for is being sold below market prices, and off the books, thus damaging the local businesses there, and their employees, plus what ever revenues the government might be due, so we are subsidizing several bad outcomes for the price of one.
this is not some “victimless” crime that we can nod & wink at…this is wrong on many levels.

Red said it.
This kind of ‘charity’ is actually destructive to the food infrastructure of other countries. It leaves these other places in a permanent state of begging and starvation.
Instead of donating food, or in this case seeing it defrauded from us to enrich criminals among us, we should push for reforms to corrupt governments. But the USA doesn’t have a lot of credibility on corruption these days.
Dustin (d00b49) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:35 pmDear Mrs Former Speaker.

Or you could grab a wiener on the streets of New York while singing that insipid NNNeeeewwww York song. Or maybe you could go to the Deomcrats who tried to block the time immemorial photo of the three fire fighters raising the Stars and stripe (that’s what patriots call the flag)

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:36 pmMD and Beldar made the arguments much more cogently in the original thread.
nk (875f57) — 7/29/2013 @ 6:44 pmP.S. I already explained how Bill and Hillary were nothing like Weiner and Huma. They were far worse.
That’s why various forms of corruption — both social and economic — are more likely to flourish when the left is ascendant and in charge of things.
By contrast, I can’t think of any major, prominent right-leaning politician — a registered Republican or otherwise — who has the smarmy, scroungy background of a Bill and Hillary, but who has nonetheless remained in good keeping with the conservative establishment and been feted by it and much of the rightist populace.
Mark (938403) — 7/29/2013 @ 7:19 pmNot only is the comparison appropriate, the Clintons made it possible for politicians like Weiner to engage in questionable sexual activity and believe they could resume their political careers. Resuming a successful career after a sex scandal was impossible before Bill and Hillary came along. Bill and Hillary not only made it possible, they made it look reasonable.

Aaron "Worthing" Walker (23789b) — 7/29/2013 @ 10:23 pmInspired by elements of this discussion, here I am, recommending another book to my fellow commenters. The Known World by Edward P. Jones won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Jones explores an oft-neglected chapter of American history, the world of blacks who owned other blacks in the antebellum South. Most interestingly it is a book written by a black man about free blacks who became black slaveholders.
Set in Manchester County, Virginia, 20 years before the Civil War began, Edward P. Jones’s debut novel, The Known World, is a masterpiece of overlapping plot lines, time shifts, and heartbreaking details of life under slavery. Caldonia Townsend is an educated black slaveowner, the widow of a well-loved young farmer named Henry, whose parents had bought their own freedom, and then freed their son, only to watch him buy himself a slave as soon as he had saved enough money. Although a fair and gentle master by the standards of the day, Henry Townsend had learned from former master about the proper distance to keep from one’s property. After his death, his slaves wonder if Caldonia will free them. When she fails to do so, but instead breaches the code that keeps them separate from her, a little piece of Manchester County begins to unravel. Impossible to rush through, The Known World is a complex, beautifully written novel with a large cast of characters, rewarding the patient reader with unexpected connections, some reaching into the present day.

Dustin (303dca) — 7/29/2013 @ 10:38 pmspeaking of liberal perverts,
There have been cases of conservatives (who presumably should have known better) being stung by licentious behavior, which makes me think if it can be bad or unpredictable on the right side of the ideological spectrum, it must be an outright zoo, carnival and three-ring circus on the left. It must be really bad for those who not only don’t intrinsically have much or any shame about bad behavior (theirs or others–certainly if they’re also on the left), but who even sneer at the idea that so-called decorum should be taken seriously.
Too bad Kimberlin is a parasite that tries to attach itself to innocent people — you being one of his many victims — and then bleed them dry. A deranged leftist must be a sickening, contemptible species to observe up close and personal. And although I suspect that is true of any extremist, left or right, ultra-liberals seems to have a corner on that market (ie, perversion).
Mark (938403) — 7/29/2013 @ 10:47 pmSo. Hillary could be said to be tumescent?

There was also Relaynet (linked BBSs) which functioned better than Internet newsgroups and e-mail (a public TO: field)

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/election/hamill-weiner-opens-campaign-article-1.1412236
On this question:
Sammy Finkelman (a1e8fb) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:32 amAlso:
Sammy Finkelman (a1e8fb) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:33 amWhat a jackalope, that stupid law he passed, makes them go to part time, QE 2 makes the food budget that much smaller, and if he has his ways, the cops will be utterly unable to protect the citizenry.
narciso (3fec35) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:35 amThere is a discrepancy between what Weiner says and waht Sydney Ltherss says. Sydney Lethers says this continued until November. Anthony Weiner seems to say this was over a year ago. (of course he could be talking about one of the other cases))
Later in the interview:
I see. The beginning was almost two years ago (soon after he left Congress) the middle was a year ago (last July) and the end was maybe last November.
Sammy Finkelman (a1e8fb) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:42 amI don’t think this other stuff really matters that much. I’m betting the house that it doesn’t.
— And this would be the multi-million dollar ‘house’, owned by a friend of the Clintons, in which you and your family live rent-free, would it?
Icy (889ed4) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:46 am74. THe New York Times writer just assumed it stopped when he was publicly exposed. It’s not really his fault.
I assume that the way Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin talked about it strongly implied that that was the end..a better question is why didn’t he check the record or why was he not more skeptical in general.
Sammy Finkelman (a1e8fb) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:47 amWith the accent on “maybe,” Sammy.
Icy (889ed4) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:48 amI had the opportunity to work with a secret service agent for a two day period in a charity event. He currently works the Bush II detail. I asked him what it was like to work for the various individuals. he made the following comments – though in very guarded and diplomatic terms.
Bush I & II – both genuine and nice
Barbara & Laura – both genuine and nice
Obama – He had not worked the obama detail but the Washington detail reports that he is much nicer in person than depicted (I interpreted that as O being okay and not the jerk as often depicted)(I did not ask about michelle)
Bill C – great as long as you let him be the center of attention
Hillary – “she is not a nice person”
Keep in mind that his comments were both diplomatic and guarded. His comment regarding hillary was both blunt and as diplomatic as it could have been. Draw your own conclusions regarding Hillary.

And this would be the multi-million dollar ‘house’, owned by a friend of the Clintons, in which you and your family live rent-free, would it?
This is obviously a term borrowed from poker, meaning he’s putting in all his chips, meaning he’s staking his whole political career on this.
He’s not living rent free (ina condominium I think)
He and Huma Abedin have enough Clinton-arranged and inspired income to cover the rent.
He is a little bit rich right now (thanks to Billary of course) and in a New York Magazine profile written before the latest revelations you can read:
http://nymag.com/news/features/anthony-weiner-2013-7/index5.html#print
Sammy Finkelman (a1e8fb) — 7/30/2013 @ 6:57 amKeep in mind that Anthony and Huma aren’t really married. Bill Clinton officiated at the fancy Long Island (dog and pony show) ceremony, but Slick’s not recognized to perform marriages in the State of New York.
Maybe that wouldn’t be a big deal, or much of a deal at all, in ordinary situations involving ordinary people, but anything to do with the Clintons or with Wiener and Abedin isn’t ordinary and can’t be taken at face value. When the Clinton’s are involved values often get short shrift.
We’re talking about people who’ll quibble over the meaning of is when the chips are down.
Nothing is beyond them, nothing at all, from organized character assassination to strong-arm tactics to lying under oath to cold-blooded murder most foul, and with a Hillary run for the Dem nod in the offing you can bet your bippy Hillary’s revisionists will be working overtime to consign all those Arckacides to the memory hole. Anyone remember the strange death of Ron Brown?
MSM was able to frighten the GOP into silence on the issue of Obama’s birth certificate, his relationship with Reverend Wright, and so far on Fast-n-Furious, the suppression of the TEA Party, NSA, and Benghazi. Success breeds success.

carlitos (49ef9f) — 7/30/2013 @ 7:03 amI said that Bill and Hillary Clinton were managing his entire life. Someone asked why would they do it. Maybe that could be a question, but they definiteky seem to be doing it.
At the time the marriage was arranged, Weiner looked like someone with very good prospects for becoming mayor, especially with Clinton help in fundraising.
I would say Bill Clinton knows that election races can be lost and still a career continue. Not everything he tried succeeded.
He ran for Congress in 1974 on the watergate – the issue and lost. And before that Senator J. William Fulbright, whom he undoubtably had hoped to succeed in 1980, lost the primary to Dakle Bumpers. There went Plan A. So he set himself up to be leader of the freshman class of Democrats in 1975, which he was almost instrumental in creating as a distinct group – and then didn’t win the House election. There went Plan B.
So he picked himself up and ran for Attorney General of Arkansas 2 years later and then Governor in 1978 – and then was defeated for re-election in 1980 to a Republican. He had counted om yellow dog democrats to vote for hm but they were upset about a rise in the price of license tags, as they are called there, and the riot oin Ft. Chaffee. It looked like his political career in elective office was over. But he turned down the opportunity to become Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 7/30/2013 @ 7:16 amThen he ran again. Ths is when he got money from someone who was a cocaine dealer, Dan Lasater.. He was imporeting cocaine by plane into Mena Arkansas I would guess. Not the CIA and certanly nt for the contras. It was all over by the time the cntras needed money in 1985.
There was damger of him not making the runoff but Mary Lee Orsini, who had arramged the murder of Alice McArthur claimed to be carrying on an affair with Jim Guy Tucker, so Tucker didn’t make the runoff. The first attempt to murder Alice McArthur was made by bomb, and that was inestigated by J WIlliam Buford head of the BATF in Littl Rock, who later on became the chief instigator of the Waco raid. He was a Friend of Bill.
Anyway, after managing to gte re-elected in 1984 by having his opponent in the democratic primary be Orval Faubus, and geeting the Arkansas constitution amended so as to give the Governor a 4-year term starting in 1986, he created Super Tuesday intending ti run for President in 1988. He then didn’t run allgedly because his daughter was young and later they said bimbos, but bimbos were still a problem in 192 – I think the real reason was he was not the only southerner in the race – there was also Al Gore – and his whole strategy depended on being the only southerner in the race plus a secret alliance with Jesse Jackson. (they both got money from BCCI)
And in 1992 there were downs and ups.
Bill Clinton knows that not every plan has to work for the ultimate plan to succeed.
But Anthorny Weiner doesn’t really have other chances. The money he raised for a race for mayor before June 2011, won’t come to him again.
He’s betting he whole pot.

They are not perfect. The coming ot of Huma didn’t work too well. and then they are dealing with Anthony Weiner.
Anthony Weiner may have fooled them about the sexting continuing, or at least about the ability to keep that hidden.

Color_Me_Cuckoo (96b0c0) — 7/30/2013 @ 7:30 amThe Clintons can play us for suckers, saps and fools because too many of us (ie, the elite that hovers around and hugs them, the large portion of the public that gives them nice ratings in the polls, people like Barbara Bush who treat them like loveable rogues) are, in fact, suckers, saps and fools.
Too many of us have the subtle, hidden reactions of someone like a “Forumer Conservative” mixed together with a bit of Sammy Finkelman, with an added touch of EPWJ (or that forumer who generally is of the right but who treated Zimmerman like he was the devil incarnate and, in turn, made Martin out to be a sad little soul). Hell, Patterico has noted that a crucial part of his personal life — his wife, no less — leans left, and he is comfortable with the concept of same-sex marriage.
It wasn’t all that long ago (and certainly when I was growing up) that I fell for the idea that liberal biases made a person perhaps more humane, generous, tolerant and compassionate than he or she otherwise would be.
Mark (938403) — 7/30/2013 @ 7:30 amPoor Anthony. He must be a bundle of nerves. This just proves that having old “girlfriends” who are “composites” is much safer than having real ones you carry on with over the internets.

Elissa, she is very much the type of person who I was describing, and that isn’t meant to be an insult but a characterization of hard reality. She’s a person who isn’t of the left, is generally (presumably) more conservative than liberal, yet who has gut reactions that lead to…
Why did you imply I was calling Barbara Bush names? That my describing what makes people like her tick is somehow casting aspersions upon them?
I’m not totally sure if the core of your response is what leads to the phenomenon of political correctness, but it’s leaning in that direction. Moreover — and this is the point I was making above — you’re not even a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. Therefore, you and others should fully understand why political correctness is running amok, and why it probably is gonna get worse before it gets better (hello, Nidal Hasan!).
Mark (938403) — 7/30/2013 @ 7:58 amOh I dunno. Your inclusion of BB in with the “suckers saps and fools” category kind of smacked of unnecessary name calling.

Keep in mind that Anthony and Huma aren’t really married. Bill Clinton officiated at the fancy Long Island (dog and pony show) ceremony, but Slick’s not recognized to perform marriages in the State of New York.
I think it is unlikely that they are not officially married, because the marriage took place while he was still in Congress, and if they were not married his financial disclosure or other forms would be wrong or unnecessary.
That story about Bill Clintonmarrying them doesn’t make sense but i am not sure of teh siurce. The Wikipedia article that says that Bill Clinton married them links to a Daily News story about their engagement.
Now I could think of a reason why they might lie about how exactly and by whom the marriage was performed.
Perhaps they were married by an imam, and for these purposes, Anthony Weiner pretended to be a Moslem.

He’s not a judge, and he holds and never held any office in New York State. This may have been a cover to hide how they were really legally married. BUt I don’t have asource for the claim that Bill Clinton married them.
Wikipedia claims that buit the footnote foes to an article about their enbgagement.
The wazshington Post says that today:

But what they are actually doing is quoting a comment from somebody named Rachel Weiner (apparently no relation) poossibly working for the Qui
The connection is real; Bill Clinton officiated the couple’s wedding.
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/NEWS/w8_letter.pdf
The ceremony may have been irrelevant but they did probably get married because he was still in Congress at the time and he needed to file financial disclosure forms and all sorts of other public documents identifying her as his spouse.
I think it’s possible maybe they were married by an imam, but Anthony Weiner couldn’t publicly say that, so it was arranged for Bill Clinton to enact a public ceremomey.
Maybe that wouldn’t be a big deal, or much of a deal at all, in ordinary situations involving ordinary people, but anything to do with the Clintons or with Wiener and Abedin isn’t ordinary and can’t be taken at face value. When the Clinton’s are involved values often get short shrift.
We’re talking about people who’ll quibble over the meaning of is when the chips are down.
Nothing is beyond them, nothing at all, from organized character assassination to strong-arm tactics to lying under oath to cold-blooded murder most foul, and with a Hillary run for the Dem nod in the offing you can bet your bippy Hillary’s revisionists will be working overtime to consign all those Arckacides to the memory hole. Anyone remember the strange death of Ron Brown?
MSM was able to frighten the GOP into silence on the issue of Obama’s birth certificate, his relationship with Reverend Wright, and so far on Fast-n-Furious, the suppression of the TEA Party, NSA, and Benghazi. Success breeds success.
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 7/30/2013 @ 9:51 amMeanwhile Hillary Clinton has been in Washington (Huma too, indicated Weiner!) meeting and being photographed first with President Barack Obama, then with Joe Biden, purpose unclear – a mystery to reporters.

JVW (23867e) — 7/30/2013 @ 7:12 pmand educated by you concerning my many faults
Elissa, your faults are evident in just about any and every human out there. For example, Ronald Reagan’s biggest blunder was when he allowed his do-gooder sentiments to get the better of him and he went against his own publicly stated policy of never dealing with a hostage-taking nation. From that was born the mess of Iran-Contra.
Mark (938403) — 7/30/2013 @ 7:34 pm==Elissa, your faults are evident in just about any and every human out there.==
O Really? Fascinating. So, just to keep the convo going what are your human faults, Mark? Do you yourself have some hangups or biases or tics that are obvious to you in the same way you seem to pick up vibes about other people and what makes them tick? Self analysis is probably not as much fun as passing judgement and criticizing others but have you ever given it a go?

Colonel Haiku (eb3ee0) — 7/30/2013 @ 8:24 pmSo, just to keep the convo going what are your human faults, Mark?
Elissa, exactly as I described in the post you’re referring to. That is, my originally falling for the idea that liberal biases made a person perhaps a bit more caring and compassionate — a bit less likely to be stereotypically intolerant — than he or she otherwise would be. It took me quite awhile before I realized that not only was that not the case, but just the opposite often was true and evident.
And now I see the madness and derangement of — and am living in the middle of — a Nidal-Hasan-ized society.
Mark (938403) — 7/30/2013 @ 8:32 pmI don’t know. You just don’t come across as a very happy or fulfilled person, Mark. Are you able to find beauty in the world? Do you have any hobbies or interests or passions that do not directly involve Alec Baldwin, Nidal Hasan or President Obama’s sex life?
elissa (861226) — 7/30/2013 @ 8:47 pmAre you able to find beauty in the world?
Elissa, do you think that musing about things like that would be pertinent or make sense in a forum focusing on politics? I get the feeling you’re analogous to someone who is browsing a blog on, say, cooking, and is miffed that certain posters are raising the issue of why some foods taste good, some foods taste bad.
Mark (938403) — 7/30/2013 @ 10:13 pm116.118.119.120. Mark, I do think there’s a great deal more to life than politics, even though as with most posters here politics is a particular interest of mine. Many posters here (including our host) regularly comment on such wide ranging topics as music, children, our parents/spouses/exes, higher education, books, sports, business, our professions, illnesses, vacations, recipes, cars, plane crashes, death notices, pets, etc, etc. It makes the blog fun, human, and over time brings the on-line commenters to life even though we wouldn’t recognize them if we walked by each other on the street. And you know, it’s funny–in contrast, you’ve said very little about yourself; we know nothing about you–your general age, where you live, educational background, or what you do/did for a living.
I’m certain I’m not the only one who is starting to find your particular assumptions and obsessions coupled with overly personal “musings” about what makes other commenters here tick to be creepy and inappropriate. You just couldn’t resist telling me the “feeling” you get about me @120 even when I asked you to quit it up at 103 after you insultingly “characterized” me, a lifelong conservative, as “not even a dyed in the wool liberal” in 102 apparently because I stood up for Barbara Bush. WTF? Was I too subtle? You just did the analysts couch thing again to Ag80 on a newer thread. And you can’t resist analyzing Sammy and others as well. Did you know it is possible to make points and even to argue with people’s positions without dissecting them or treating them as lab specimens? Yes, one can! It is done by commenters here all the time!
