George Will called Bill Clinton an "Olympic Class Whiner"
He's a jerk but he really does say some things that are pretty funny. On Snugglepuss they were also saying that Bill is much better in defense of himself than anybody else (probably true) and that some of the people in the campaign are cringing and think of him as an overinvolved "Little League Dad", but who is going to tell him to stop?

13. You didn't address the anonymous sourcing for some reason?

16. How should that be addressed? If the source is anonymous, per
Alter, what could I possibly say to change that? But if you're suggesting he's lying, I think you're off base.

10. He didn't say good bye to you?
Just vanished? Must be because he said his goodbyes at the Mirage before the caucus as scheduled. He said good-bye and thank you to many and it wasn't a last minute plan.

Suddenly drop things and run back to Chicago? My you are clever.

He did have a particular reason. They're called daughters.

Sneaky man, thinks he has the right to be a father between campaign trips.

4. George Will Hasn't Had an Original Idea.........
......... since he implied decades ago that the real vote belongs to the dollar rather than citizen.

6. Amazing
how the MSM has no respect or reservations speaking about Bill that they would normally have for other former or sitting presidents. How easily could they say Reagan, Bush I and Bush II are "olympic class criminals" but there is never one negative comment?

8. Whiner isn't the equivalent of criminal
and Clinton is a lot more outspoken than other former Presidents. If George W Bush had brought his father around to campaign as much as Hillary has brought her husband with, people would have criticized that too.

But that said, yes, the MSM is bought and paid for. ABC's little turncoat Stephanopoulous is the #1 example- he was part of the Clinton White House and had absolutely no loyalty to it after they bought him.

9. Isn't that the Truth
He is certainly full of himself. Decades ago in my youth, I used to think he was an intellectual prowess. Now, I've come to think on my own and I have come to realize that his writing is full of his own insecurities. His ornate, gratuitous use of the English language masks his own fallibilities.

deaf to the daily whining, bitching, moaning coming from the right for so long that anyone who isn't one of them would sound like "world class whiner to him". Besides that who fives a flying f**** what he thinks.

15. George Will called Bill Clinton an "Olympic Class Winner"
I misread the captioning. :evilgrin:

I really don't care what George Will thinks, but he does make me laugh.

19. George Will is a loathsome, pasty faced asshole.
And why, exactly, is he being quoted like some sort of hero around here?
