Day of Reckoning: the
time when one is called to account for one's actions, to pay one's debts, or to
fulfill one's promises or obligations.
When the Harvey Weinstein story broke about a month ago, I
offered that the reason for such a story to break now – after decades of
such behavior – might have something to do with the democrats getting tired of
telling Hillary to go away.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on Thursday
went to a place that few Democrats have dared or cared to go when it comes to
allegations of sexual assault: Calling out Bill Clinton.
The initial story on Weinstein broke in the New York Times; this story is in the Washington Post. In other words, this isn’t some wacko like
bionic mosquito or some such. Someone is
on a mission.
It's difficult to overstate the
potential significance of Gillibrand's response to the question about the
former president.
As you would expect, Gillibrand is being threatened by
Clinton loyalists. I say this is irrelevant
– and not only because the democratic party establishment wants to make Hillary
go away:
Suddenly, other Democrats will be
asked if they agree with Gillibrand's comments that the former president should
have resigned.
Stuck between an oval-office desk and a hard place….
If a reasonably large number of
Democrats decide to rewrite their view of Clinton's legacy as one that should
have ended in disgrace, that turns Clinton from a statesman into something
closer to what many Republicans have long alleged.
“Alleged”? You must be kidding.
It may never come to that,
especially if other Democrats don't join in Gillibrand's statements about
Clinton.
They won’t have a choice.
They will have to make a public statement: side with the predator and
his (nominally speaking) wife, or protect their own tails.
Conclusion
But in one fell swoop, [Gillibrand]
put that debate squarely on the table. And you can bet the Clintons are
apoplectic about that right now — especially considering the source.
Any tears out there?
Maybe tears of joy, but not yet.

Like I said: WAY. BIGGER.

Where was Gillibrand in 1998?
ReplyDeleteI really know nothing of her, but if I was to use the (relatively) safe stereotype for a politician - everything is based on political expediency.
DeleteMaybe not true in this case?
High school.

ReplyDeleteROFL!
I had a few others that I thought about including, but my editor said I was going a bit too far.
DeleteAt first it was just Hillary being thrown under the bus...now Billary too! Seems to me like a certain "Magic Negro" is making a play for absolute control of the Dem Party.
