Hillary Clinton Campaign's Biggest Challenge: Keeping Bill Away from the Interns


Clintonian
...the Clintons are unique in the annals of American politics: They are protected from charges of corruption by their reputation for corruption. (Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal, 5/8/2015)

That is a good line from Noonan!

We also like Rush Limbaugh's reference to Bill and Hill's charity as "the Clinton Crime Family Foundation."


Unbecoming
On an April night in 1960, Guy Carawan stood before a group of black students in Raleigh, N.C., and sang a little-known folk song. With that single stroke, he created an anthem that would echo into history, sung at the Selma-to-Montgomery marches of 1965, in apartheid-era South Africa, in international demonstrations in support of the Tiananmen Square protesters, at the dismantled Berlin Wall and beyond.

The song was “We Shall Overcome.”
...
On March 15, 1965, in a televised address seen by 70 million Americans, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced his intention to submit a voting rights bill to Congress.

Describing the legislation — which he would sign into law that August as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — President Johnson said: “Even if we pass this bill, the battle will not be over. What happened in Selma is part of a far larger movement which reaches into every section and state of America. It is the effort of American Negroes to secure for themselves the full blessings of American life.” He continued:

“Their cause must be our cause, too. Because it is not just Negroes, but really it is all of us, who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice.”

President Johnson added: “And we shall overcome.” (New York Times, 5/8/2015)

The New York Times reports on the death of folk singer Guy Carawan, the song "We Shall Overcome" and Democrat President Lyndon Johnson. Democrats are overwhelmed with pride at their own virtuousness. Of course, what the New York Times does not tell you - because it is a dishonest newspaper - is what President Johnson reportedly had said previously. Read on (with sincere apologies for the offensive language that Liberal icon Johnson used)....

Lyndon Johnson said the word “nigger” a lot. In Senate cloakrooms and staff meetings, Johnson was practically a connoisseur of the word. According to Johnson biographer Robert Caro, Johnson would calibrate his pronunciations by region, using “nigra” with some southern legislators and “negra” with others. Discussing civil rights legislation with men like Mississippi Democrat James Eastland, who committed most of his life to defending white supremacy, he’d simply call it “the nigger bill.” (MSNBC.com, 4/11/2014)

Yes, this comes from MSNBC!
