Looks like the “first black President” is having a hard time adjusting to the thought of a possible second black President:
Bill Clinton is so bitter about Barack Obama’s victory over his wife Hillary that he has told friends the Democratic nominee will have to beg for his wholehearted support.
…
A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could “kiss my ass” in return for his support.
…
But his lingering fury has shocked his friends. The Democrat told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.
Bill Clinton, the Norma Desmond of politics: You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!… All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.

OMG! A conservative newspaper cites an “unnamed source.” It must be true.
“I am big! It’s the Democratic Party that got small!”
Of course, BC is just going for the experience of someone doing something near his, um, his–ahem, of being close to his… /blushes
#1 A conservative newspaper??? In the UK??? That’s a good ‘un
#1 - Probably the same source that heard McCain call his wife the C-word.
4 - “The Daily Telegraph has been politically conservative in modern times. The personal links between the paper’s editors and the leadership of the Conservative Party, also known as Tories, along with the paper’s influence over Conservative activists, has resulted in the paper commonly being referred to, especially in Private Eye, as the Torygraph”

I get it! Sort of like CNN being known as the Clinton News Network.
Thanks!
You knew Bill would be a sore loser. During the campaign he gets branded a racist, cameras catch him saying all kinds of things and the “Clinton War Machine” gets crushed by some novice with barely two years experience in the Senate. What should have been a foregone conclusion evaporated right in front of his eyes. And worst of all, Bill was denied his third term and possibly fourth terms as President of the United States. Think about all those interns and that end of term pardon money all gone because of “BO”. I mean wouldn’t you be pi$$ed off too!!!!!!! That’s what Bill gets for pi$$ing into the wind!!!!!
Now you’re using Wikipedia as your source??? Man, you’re on a roll today, Houstondem!
But in all, uh, seriousness, this was supposed to be funny. I see humor is still lost on you.
7 - Not exactly. One is a fact. The other is a mindless monkey hear, monkey repeat cliche.
9 - “The Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph are, quite simply, the best conservative newspapers in the English-speaking world.”
http://www.nationalreview.com/jos/jos200312110800.asp
“The Daily Telegraph is famous – or notorious, depending upon your politics – for its strongly conservative outlook.”
http://www.britishpapers.co.uk/quality/daily-telegraph/
“It is a conservative newspaper for the older middle classes and it shouldn’t try to be anything else.
Lord Black also injected the neo-conservative values espoused by President George W Bush into The Daily Telegraph’s opinion pages.”

Is that better?
#10 That’s better. But it should be noted that John O’ Sullivan is British, as is Andreas Wittham Smith, and the review of British Newspapers you linked to as well. I think that “conservative” in the UK is decidedly different than “conservative” here.
I have some friends from the Homeland and on a scale of:
Kennedy = Liberal
Reagan = Conservative
A “conservative” in Britain is right about where McCain is - a Liberal Republican.

You bet (BC a sore loser). I think, though, that saying he was beat by the inexperienced BHO is not telling the whole story. BHO was just the club that the Democrat power base used to knock the Clintons out on their collective rear-ends. It could have been any photogenic, well-spoken, young senator, governor, what-have-you. That BHO is already a Marxist and America-hater is all the better for them.
#10
Much better. I know now that you’re a nutjob for thinking that CNN is an unbiased news source.
I just have to laugh my butt off when liberals and leftists complain about a news source that is unabashedly conservative for being conservative, when nearly all of the alphabet soup news sources have such an obvious slant to their way of thinking.
Dave, I may put British conservatives even to the left of McCain. McCain is clearly pro-life as are most US conservatives. I don’t think the same can be said about the Tories.
Reply to No. 13: You’re right it could have been anybody. The Dimwit base was in this “ABH” mode.
But why didn’t the pick the fair haired one, the “Breck Girl” John Edwards. Was it because he had already lost once and “BO” was a fresh face who could talk pretty and look pretty. I hope nothing happens to “BO” because I think he more beatable than HELLary, the supposed “smartest woman”.
Any bets on which “networks” will cover the event (Oboma puckering up and delivering requested kiss)? It will probobly take place behind closed doors…..but I don’t doubt it will happen. We’ll know for sure when Bill officially endorses his higness. Hope it’s soon, it could be the “kiss of death”.
Regardless of whether or not he made those statements - and I’d withhold judgement as everything we read is not true - his lack of an endorsement at this stage is clearly a statement in and of itself.
But I don’t think he’s that upset that Hillary lost - in that I don’t think he’s sad she wont be President. I think he’s sad he won’t get to be co-President or in the white house again.
Any bets on a Clinton divorce?
I got a crisp new ‘Franklin’ that sez both Ron Brown and Vince Foster are ROFLTAO.
#11 Hamous - I actually lived in the UK for a period. From my perception, here is rough mapping of political philosophies:
US Republican = Really no organized equivalent in UK
US Democrat = UK Conservative
US Socialist/CPUSA = UK Labour
US DailyKos/Moveon type = UK Liberal Democrat
The Daily Telegraph was the paper I read, as it was the best ‘conservative’ paper. If I wanted a good laugh, I read the Guardian (think DailyKos types writing the articles).
TheRip = but did you “read” Page 3?? :-p
StacyE #17
No bets. That should have come years ago. Too late now, she’s made her bed…now she’s stuck with it. For supposedly “the smartest woman in the world”, she has yet to show it.
#20 dave
That’s the best part.
#20 - I may have ’skimmed’ it (for the articles, of course) once or twice
Bill Clinton committed treason, rape, sexual assault, indecent exposure, perjury, fraud, witness tampering, was impeached and disbarred.
What Clinton is really mad about is that he won’t get to be back in the WH for another shot at some of those interns.
Pssssssssst hey Slick……..
Dial 1 - 800 - WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
If we didn’t know before, we know now. Bill has a giant personality disorder. He and the supposed Mrs C. also exhibit signs of being disposessed Royalty. IF Iwere Mr. Obama, I’d keep mt head down. It could be Bhutto all over again.
pimlico, since your from “across the pond”, does #19’s comparison seem reasonable? I thought it did.
Oh Hamous your relating Bill to Norma Desmond is perfect. It’s Bill, always Bill, all about Bill.
Bill Clinton was the first Black president.
Barack Obama is the first Black Clinton.
