I use my time at the gym to catch up on my TV watching. Today, I was at one of those stationary bikes that have little TVs attached to them and watched a Fox News program on the 2016 election campaign. The show discussed whether a certain issue should be central to Hillary Clinton’s possible election bid in 2016. I thought I would ask you, folks, as a riddle what that crucial issue was but I realized it wasn’t humanly possible to guess.
The issue in question was the Monica Lewinsky scandal because, apparently, “that was real war on women.”
The idea that Monica Lewinsky should be discussed at length if Hillary decides to run was initially introduced by Rand Paul, another presidential hopeful. His PR team sucks something major (and yes, I could have made many very dirty jokes here but I took the high road). After this comment, poor Rand Paul has opened himself to endless discussions of how Bill’s oral sex act 15 years ago was the most memorable sexual experience Rand Paul has had in all these years. For somebody as pinch-faced and fussy as Rand Paul, this is a dangerous image to cultivate.

I almost fell off the bike because I couldn’t believe anybody would seriously bring up Lewinsky.

The media love a fight.
They think that the issues at state in an election are of no interest to their readers/viewers, so if therte isn’t a fight they will try to create one, or publicise something that has potential to be a fight. What policies the candidates stand for are relatively minor.

Meanwhile the French get their own anti-Semitic tea party:
“A block of protest is forming, a rebellion which is anti-elite, anti-state, anti-tax, anti-parliament, anti-press … but also, and above all, anti-Semitic, racist and homophobe.”

They’ve got to be pro-something, poor idiots. Or is life too confusing for anything but a “no, no, no”? 🙂

I have no doubt we will be hearing those, too.

Really the amount of right wing psychosexual fantasies the Clintons inhabit is ridiculous. Any hint of sexuality from a Democratic politician makes them slobber endlessly in speculation.

And this is quite a stale sex story, too. I mean, 1998! The expression “get a life” never seemed more apt.
The whole thing was puny and pathetic even back then but 15 years later? Come on.
