Vodka: Bill Clinton is a cheap whore. HotMES: I concur.

I don’t usually show linky-love to those who don’t show it back, but since this guy can (sort of) be credited with my urge to start a blog in the first place, I guess it’s fair. Anyway, Vodka calls out Bill Clinton for his recent comments to Democrats that it is better to pass terrible legislation, knowing that it is terrible, rather than risk a loss that might make Republicans look good:

And that’s coming from a fairly left-leaning liberal who basically agrees that there ought to be a lot more government interference with health care. Meanwhile, here’s what that other august intellect, Bill Clinton, had to say on the matter:

“The point I want to make is: Just pass the bill, even if it’s not exactly what you want,” Clinton told Democrats. “When you try and fail, the other guys write history.”

Go on and betray your conscience. Go on and pass bad legislation. Go on and do potentially irreparable harm to the country. Because if you don’t, somewhere, a Republican might look good.

Oh, horrors, indeed.

There are statesmen, there are politicians, and then there are cheap whores who would sell out their country for a vote.

And here I always thought Clinton was just a politician.

And, I always thought Clinton was in the business of buying cheap whores, not being a cheap whore. I guess we’re all wrong every now and again.
