Why are we listening to Bill Clinton in 2016
Heresy. I know. But don't think I'll get banned for asking the question here.
Why are we listening to Bill Clinton? Why does Bill Clinton get to lie, as he did about Obama in 2008, and now about Bernie Sanders in 2016.
Why do we allow this person to get away with anything? Why is neo-liberalism acceptable to the Democratic Party in 2016?
Bob Herbert asked the question years ago, and answered it: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/26/opinion/in-america-cut-him-loose.html
To paraphrase Herbert, I say "Cut Them Loose."
All this is by way of leading up to one of the best descriptions of the Clinton Administration, and Hillary's role in it, I've read, so far:

Love Bob Herbert,
it's too bad no one took his advice. Every time people start touting all the wonderful things Bill Clinton's administration brought us, they leave out all the downsides, along with the fact that he's one big reason we had eight years of Dubya (imo).
I agree -- Cut Them Loose is an excellent plan! Please Clintons, just go away.

Bill Clinton was one of the reasons...
The internet has its heavy corporate influence nowadays. It started as a DOD program, remember...
Then Bill and his buddies saw an opportunity to "Regulate" it, and it just went downhill from there. Is it unsalvagable? Hell no! I think the internet is the only reason that Bill is remembered with any vitriol at all.
We just have to break the stranglehold of the rest of the MSM. Far too many internet fads are manufactured offline by these schmucks.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Well, why are we listening to Cheney, or Kagan, or or or???

Because our politicians lack the moral courage
to censure one of their buddies.
It's apparently considered gauche to stick a guy in prison that you go to cocktail parties with and smile and laugh at their jokes.

Laughing - got a "flag" on GOS for this in a comment
Posted the link to the Salon article by Frank as a comment on a GOS diary, and got a "flag" ( I call them Windsocks!)
Guess they're practicing for 3/15
Every time somebody talks about TOP...
This runs through my head.

Wow.
In two days, it is going to get very busy. Is the plan to hire extra moderators? The ramp up is already happening, not to mention the drop off in postings on diaries not Bernie related.
