It's funny how the wingnuts think Clinton's reputation as a "playa" makes the public like him less.

[bud]

hehe, and scalito's son's neck is resting on clinton's crotch. that shit is sooooooooooooo funny.

Joe,

Don't disparage Clinton dick-jokes. If not for them, then Jay Leno would be doing weak standup at some shitty improv joint in Sioux City right now.

Wait, yeah, go ahead and disparage away.

"It's funny how the wingnuts think Clinton's reputation as a "playa" makes the public like him less."

Yeah, you know, if I were a 'publikan trying to smear Clin-Ton's image, and I had to choose between the "horn-dog" theme and the "4 different failed hyper-interventionist nationbuilding blunders" theme, I'd definitely go for the latter.

Except that their man is actually worse in that department. So, Joe, you should be glad that the worst they can do is, um, stale 8-year-old Clin-Ton dickjokes.

I thought this might be titled "Wednesday Fun Link, Unless You Knew The President In Question, In Which Case I Offer My Deepest Sympathies."

joe:

What makes you think "the public" gives a shit about Clinton one way or the other?

[shecky]

"The public", as in Newsmax constituents, have nothing but Clinton to whip these days.

jf,
The US public in general keeps an interest in popular ex-presidents. Nothing unusual about it.
(and isn't Clinton the most popular President since JFK? (when leaving office - not peak by which measure the current POTUS would be greatest POTUS EVAR!)).

[Mr. Nice Guy]

It was said in the WaPost that it's clear who Clinton favors in the group, given how his right hand is resting. I'm just say'n.

I can understand how a photographer might miss the hand position thing. But what professional in his right mind would pose the Alito family in front of Clinton's portrait? Joke overload is inevitable.

It's not quite as bad as posing Strom Thurmand in front of a portrait of Rosa Parks, but it's in the ballpark.

Because the still find Clinton jokes and Monica jokes funny.

Evan, I'm not disparaging Clinton dick jokes. That's some funny stuff.

[ralphus]

I'd give Alito's daughter a permission slip for an abortion any day. Wow! Nice piece.

And no matter what you think of Clinton, the picture has chuckle value.

joe hit the nail on the head. The wingnuts think this stuff brings the guy down when in reality it just builds on his fun, dirty uncle persona.

[Niece]

If you had a dirty uncle, you wouldn't think it's that fun!

[Dirty Uncle]

If you had a dirty uncle, you wouldn't think it's that fun!

Don't be so uptight.

You and your girlfriends want to come over and swim?

I've got wine coolers.

It makes me like him less. Plenty of women have a distaste for married men who engage in sleazy affairs. Has nuthin to do with him being WJC, has lots to do with me being a woman.

[joe]

Hmph. Must by a dyke.

Kidding! I'm KIDDING!!!

This is going to sound like an urban legend because of the degrees of seperation, but I trust the source. He's a co-worker who is the very stereoptype of the intellectual, Volvo-driving, NPR-listening, Bush-hating liberal.

He used to work in D.C. with a friend whose wife got her ass squeezed by Clinton. They'd never met before, but they were at some function, and Clinton was there, and the couple asked if they could have their photo taken with him. So they're standing together, posing for the photo, and the wife later reported that the president reached behind her and squeezed her ass.

At the time, she didn't know what do about it. If she reacted suddenly -- even by yelling "Hey!" -- she was afraid a bunch of Secret Service guys would pile on her and throw her out. And afterward, there didn't seem to be any point in making a big deal of it.

But, my friends report, Clinton is definitely a horndog. I wouldn't want him around any females I care about. And that's only one of several reasons I don't like him, but I don't find it endearing.
