Hillary Clinton, in a remarkably craven moment even by Clinton family standards, has compared the purported plight of people who voted for her in Michigan and Florida to that of Zimbabweans:
While it might be fun to show how sloppy Hillary’s analogy is (Obama’s the one not abiding by the will of the people? Hmmmm…), it will be even more fun to mock the people who are surprised by her latest antics. For 16 years now, the Clintons have given a long-suffering nation an education in what happens when rapacious ambition weds itself to moral bankruptcy. People with anything other than selective memories may recall that Bill Clinton’s military responses to terrorism oddly corresponded with his domestic political needs. That is but one of countless examples that illustrates how the Clintons put their own interests above literally everything else. And yet some people are surprised — nay, bewildered — that Hillary is acting selfishly. Steve Benen of the Carpet Bagger Report offers this take on the Zimbabwe comparison:
A Clinton shameless? A Clinton without honor? These things surprise Benen? I know he’s only 35, but perhaps it’s time Benen stop believing in Santa Claus.
