The only one that has truly victimized Hillary Clinton is Bill Clinton...

[Bread and Circus]

as far as we know.

He is the one that fucked around on her twice (and he is on record admitting it) and embarrassed himself and his family in the process. Frankly, it's not anyone's business but theirs but it's true and it's there. She forgave him (apparently) and I guess that's great (although I'm not sure if it was Stockholm Syndrome or just political expediency).

However, Obama and Edwards have not victimized Hillary one iota. And certainly not anymore than she has done to them. The bullshit, the mud, the half-truths, and the lies... the shit they all sling... it's just politics. None of them are clean, none are guilty.

Even the RW smear machine has not victimized Hillary. Sure, they victimized all of us and the constitution. But I think Bill and Hillary, despite all their crying and self pity, have had more than their fair share of fame, money, power, and access.

The real victims of the last few decades are the poor, the working class folks, the middle class folks, the voters, and lovers of the constitution. The largest victim is Democracy itself as we were once its shining light, its vanguard.

It's astounding to me that anyone buys the "Hillary as victim" canard. Same for Bill, President of the World, Presider of the Biggest Economic Expansion of the World, Clinton.

If she wins the nomination and even the GE, then good on her.

But don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
