Clinton envy

When are the right going to get over William Jefferson Clinton?

Last night on "the situation with Tucker Carlson" the conservative morphed back into his usual self while describing his tendency to vomit whenever the former president makes an appearance: (courtesy msnbc.com)

"Almost aesthetic level, aren’t you repulsed by Clinton’s never ending self-righteousness? The other day, over the weekend, he says essentially, I would have done a better job responding to Katrina because I am a better person, great guy, look at me, great administration. Doesn’t the constant bragging make you want to throw up? "

His guest, Bill Maher replied the only way he can:

"You know what makes me want to throw up, seeing dead bodies floating in New Orleans, that makes me want to throw up."

Maher went on to state the obvious:

"That kind of stuff that would not have happened under Bill Clinton. You can’t tell me that you think that FEMA would have not been a completely different agency and that Clinton would have been all over this situation from minute one like white on rice. You don’t think that’s who Bill Clinton is? He would not have slept from the moment this hurricane started to hit until we could do the best we could with the situation. "

That's the difference between our current commander in chief and his predecessor: competence.
