Bill Clinton: the world will love us again if we elect Hillary
2007-09-23
Ann Althouse

The world, tired of hating America, wants Hillary to win.
That's the way Bill Clinton tells it:

"Every African leader I talked to, every single one when I was there, without any prodding from me, said, 'For God sakes, I hope Hillary wins. We don't like disliking America here,'" Bill Clinton said at a fund-raiser for her last month.

"I called the outgoing French president, and he said, 'Oh, tell me Hillary's going to win. I'm so tired of disliking America,'" Bill Clinton told the crowd.

Bill Clinton also quoted the immediate past prime minister of Singapore as saying, "'Please tell me Hillary's going to win. We need America leading the world again.'"

Aides to Jacques Chirac, the former French president, and Goh Chok Tong, Singapore's former prime minister, told The News they could not confirm Bill Clinton's assertions - and, they said, it's general policy to stay out of other countries' elections.

But the Daily News, reporting this, says "Yet none of the leaders the former President cited will back him up." So what are you saying, Bill Clinton's a liar? Oh, my.

But what does this lie/exaggeration/statement imply? Bill Clinton thinks we want to have the President that leaders of other countries will love the most, and we will believe that Hillary Clinton will inspire world love. That's all rather odd.

#22  Some aspire to the most powerful job on earth because they feel they can LEAD, some because they think they can save the Nation. Ahh, but the Klintons; their only desire is to RULE and subjegate (they already have the power via their proxies). It would be Arkanscide at the National level if we were to allow this harpie to squirm her way upstream to POTUS. She's spinning, triangulating, cajoling, faking, comprimising the USA and avoiding inconvenient discourse. The real, yet invisible, powers of evil, hover around the klintons wherever they go. Don't be afraid. Be aware. Fight them. Pray for the USofA

#21  "And that doesn't count the lamps and other furniture she threw at Bill."
Well, did she actually score a hit with any of those? I'd like to know if the Demo's 'anointed' does have good aim, at least.

#16  "the world will love us again if we elect Hillary"

'Cuz she's such a lovable person donchaknow.

People in the White House staff said every second word out of Hillary's mouth was "f**k". Apparently the MSM worked overtime to keep her looking charming.

She continuously insulted and abused her Secret Service bodyguards. And that doesn't count the lamps and other furniture she threw at Bill.

#13  "You sure it's not "Imagine," Dave D.?"

I'm sure. Everything is Beautiful (In It's Own Way) and People are the Holiest of Holies. They're all about feelings, after all. Imagine is just cheap anti-Christian propaganda set to music.

"All you need is Love ..."

That's not their anthem, it's just proto-bubblegum poppycock for zoned-out dimbulbs (i.e., half our generation).

#11  their most sacred hymn, and the certainly the one without peer in sheer vapidity, is Everything is Beautiful (In It's Own Way).

You sure it's not "Imagine," Dave D.? To call it "succinctly packaged idiocy" is putting it mildly . . .

#10  Well, that depends on what the meaning of the word "love" is. And "again" is. And "the" is. And "will" is. And "world" is. And...

#4  "But what does this lie/exaggeration/statement imply?"

I don't think it "implies" anything; it merely reflects the liberal mind's sincere, moist-eyed belief that the highest, most noble state to which mankind can aspire is to be... Emo.

From the liberal's second most sacred hymn**, People:

People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside


All the "need" inside; we're just little children. Jeez...

The sorry truth is, Democrats WANT Americans to be needy and insecure, so they can make soothing noises and pretend to "help" us. And anyone who does NOT need their "help"-- or who doesn't give a candy-coated crap whether the "leaders" of all the fetid, basket-case shitholes around the world "love" us or not-- is deemed an enemy.

Fuck you, Hillary.

** -- their most sacred hymn, and the certainly the one without peer in sheer vapidity, is Everything is Beautiful (In It's Own Way).

And they think Bush is stupid? He's talking to the outgoing French president. Did you check with the incoming French president? Bill then might have noticed that in France and in Germany the Anti-American parties were on their way out, not in. YJCMTSU
