Thanks for that distillation of nonsense, Dugger. >>Those who purport to be morally superior to the Clintons (yes, Hillary gets bashed even more than Bill, at times), are, in actuality, morally inferior. It is to their infinite credit that Bill and Hillary rarely return fire at their detractors. You had me going until you hit that last line above! Gee, like we all don't know that the Clintons are the masters of smearing people! That's what their permanent goon squad is for. That's their blood sport! We can all see that you're doing a parody of one of those "never mind the facts" folks. That's O.K., those folks have a right to be wrong. Too bad that, just like your parody, they not only have to flaunt just how wrong they are but also their moral and intellectual inferiority as well. Here's one of many concepts that those people have never met: We are a nation of laws, not men. That means laws are supposed to apply to liberal Dems too. Sorry to intrude on that ignorance. Thanks to people like them and the Clintons, lying is now considered a public virtue. That'll be their only legacy besides their historic corruption. National denial will become national outrage at both Clintons. Thankfully for civilization, the polls are already moving in that direction. Good name Dugger. You can stop digging now, Dugger, you've gone as low as possible for parody. Critics note: Good parody must be based on truth. But it's very difficult, if not impossible, to parody a parody. That's where both you and they lost control.

Clinton Sycophancy Sycophancy is a common activity of some folks. Perceiving perfection in another, the sycophant thinks, with enough praise he can somehow elevate himself. In fact, from a moral standpoint, the sycophant is degraded by the very activity he believes will elevate him. The current level of Clinton sycophancy in this country is a case in point. As the sycophancy has increased, Clinton's popularity has also increased. This should not be a surprise. Most folks view sycophancy as a vile and revolting act, and they are correct. Those who shamelessly praise the Clintons, are, in actuality, morally lower than the Clintons. (Yes, Hillary gets praised even more than Bill, at times.) It is to their infinite credit that Bill and Hillary have fooled so many for so long. Hillary's comment that there is a "right wing conspiracy" aimed at bringing down her husband is probably one of the lamest and shameless spins they have tried to date. One can ask, too, what exactly it is that this sycophancy is supposed to accomplish? Is it good for the country? Hardly. The sycophant's aren't interested in what is good for the country. They have an agenda, and that agenda is to suck up to anyone who they think can give them something or allow them to continue their delusions, at any cost. Is this a patriotic concept? Hardly. And that is a great irony, in that most of these folks are liberal types who have always pretended to be better than the "average" American. There will always be people who stand "holier than thou", ready to suck up where needed. These people would do better to examine their own lives, try to impress themselves rather than others, and volunteer to help others. Volunteerism in this country is at an all-time high, despite what the Clintons have done to it. The Clinton's have played this charade for too long. And all the while feeling smug and invoking executive privilege to hide the facts. Wouldn't it be nice if they would, just once, stand up to those "morals" the sycophant's claim they have? Now there's a concept!
