Remember during Bill Clinton’s bimbo eruptions when Slick Willie’s defenders said what happened in the Clintons’ marriage was private?
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) channels his inner social conservative, as reported by NewsBusters:
Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) made quite a strong statement Sunday about the so-called “Republican War on Women” and the double standards by which the sexual escapades of both Parties are reported by the media.
Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Paul said, “One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses shouldn’t prey on young interns in their office. And I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this” …
[Host David] Gregory then read a snippet of a Vogue magazine piece referring to Paul’s wife Kelly claiming that Bill Clinton’s escapades with Monica Lewinsky should complicate his return to the White House even as a spouse. Gregory asked his guest if such issues were fair game if Hillary runs in 2016:
PAUL: You know, I mean the Democrats, one of their big issues is they’ve concocted and said Republicans are committing a War on Women. One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses shouldn’t prey on young interns in their office. And I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this. He took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office. There is no excuse for that. And that is predatory behavior, and it should be, it should be something we shouldn’t want to associate with people who would take advantage of a young girl in his office.
This isn’t having an affair. I mean, this isn’t me saying he’s, “Oh, he’s had an affair. We shouldn’t talk to him.” Someone who takes advantage of a young girl in their office? I mean, really. And then they have the gall to stand up and say Republicans are having a War on Women? So, yes, I think it’s a factor. Now, it’s not Hillary’s fault.
GREGORY: And, but it should be an issue…
PAUL: But it is a factor in judging Bill Clinton in history.
GREGORY: Right, but is it something Hillary Clinton should be judged on if she were a candidate in 2016?
PAUL: No, I’m not saying that. This is with regard to the Clintons, and sometimes it’s hard to separate one from the other. But I would say that with regard to his place in history, that it certainly is a discussion, and I think in my state, you know, people tend to sort of frown upon that. We wouldn’t be, you know, if there were someone in my community who did that, they would be socially, we would disassociate from somebody who would take advantage of a young woman in the workplace.
One wonders how Bill Clinton would have felt if someone with whom Chelsea had had an internship had had the same kind of relationship Bill Clinton had with intern Monica Lewinsky. One also wonders if Hillary Clinton would have helped cover it up in a similar situation, as she did by blithely calling the accusations the work of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
That demonstrates a lack of character on Bill Clinton’s part. And Hillary’s. And their supporters, who appear ready to excuse anything the Clintons do because of their stand on abortion rights.
Speaking of Slick Willie, what is he up to these days? Feeling dissed, reports ReaganCoalition.com:
It might have something to do with being impeached and letting an intern service him underneath his desk, but Bill Clinton believes he gets less respect than Ronald Reagan — and he isn’t happy about it. The surprising admission comes from a new piece in the New York Times Sunday Magazine, which quotes writer Amy Chozick after she spoke to sources close to the former President.
“People close to Bill Clinton have told me repeatedly that it irks them that Democrats don’t talk about the dignified, slimmed-down, silver-haired former president with the same reverence Republicans give Ronald Reagan,” wrote Chozick. The Washington Examiner also reported that Clinton “is aware that his legacy could be impacted by his wife, and also that he hasn’t been cheerleading her potential run, according to insiders.”
