Bill Clinton Stops Concealing Motives For Anything
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Bill Clinton will be on Larry King tonight, but we already know what he says because of the Internet. He’s postponing his Florida campaigning to honor the Jewish high holidays, because… well, let Bill himself confirm the very obvious political motive: “But I think it would be — if we’re trying to win in Florida, it may be that.” You know, offending the Jews during their party week or whatever. And then he says this: “You know, they think that because of who I am and where my politic[al] base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the ‘cracker vote’ there.” He is so insane.
