I hate ex President Bill Clinton. There, I said it. I think his policies rank him among the worst presidents in U.S. history. And, while I'm tempted to leave it at that, the truth is that I hate him for less substantive reasons, too. I hate the inequitable way he has come to his economic and political achievements and his utter lack of humility (disguised behind transparently false modesty) at having done so. His favorite answer to the question of his vocation -- "I feel your pain" -- conveys the laughable implication that he is doing a public service for us instead of himself. He reminds me of a certain type I knew in high school -- the kid who won a fancy sports car and believed that he had somehow earned it. I hate the way he walks--shoulders flexed, chest pushed out and eyes scanning the crowd for girls like a teenage boy feigning machismo. I hate the way he talks--blustery self-assurance masked by a pseudo-populist twang. I even hate the things that everybody seems to like about him. I hate his lame nickname-bestowing-- a way to establish one's social superiority beneath a veneer of chumminess. And, while most people who meet Clinton claim to like him, I suspect that, if I got to know him personally, I would hate him even more.

There seem to be quite a few of us Clinton haters. I have friends who have a viscerally hostile reaction to the sound of his voice or describe his existence as a constant oppressive force in their daily psyche.

etc. etc.
