Bill Clinton Not Happy With Convention Role

By Wyatt Earp | August 25, 2008

Oh, that’s a shame. Don’t you just love it when the Democrats are infighting?

DENVER, Colorado – Bill Clinton is perplexed and, frankly, not happy that he was asked to speak about national security Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention and not about the economy, the issue that he rode to the White House at another time of economic peril, a source close to the former president said Monday.

Well, who’s fault is that Bill? You and that harpy wife of yours rolled over without a fight this campaign season, even when it was obvious that you could have given The Messiah, Barack Hussein Obama, a run for the nomination?

The Clintons I used to know would have fought and clawed their way to the convention, and started a near riot to have Hillary’s case heard.

Some close to Clinton are encouraging him not to stick with the night’s theme of national security and add language about the economy in his remarks, in a way that Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, would frame it, the source said. It’s no secret that Clinton considers himself a highly effective communicator on the politics of the economy.

Yeah, that’s a nice idea, but the castrated version of Slick Willy will bow his head and do his Lord’s bidding. Damn, what the Hell happened to Bill Clinton?

As word of his displeasure was reported Tuesday, aides tried to suggest it was being overblown. It’s a pattern strikingly similar to reports of Hillary Clinton’s unhappiness with the way she was treated by Obama during his running mate search, which has contributed to intense talk of tension between camps Clinton and Obama leading up to a convention that’s being billed as a chance at unity.

Obama would have run away with this election if he chose Hillary as his running mate. As it is, he dropped the ball and picked up the only person in politics that makes more gaffes than he does. (For the record, I still think Obama will win, if for no other reason than far too many people will vote for the African-American candidate – no matter what his policies.) Hillary then leaked that she was pissed, and now Bill is doing the same.

You know what I say to that? Tough crap. If you two are so angry about the way you’re being treated, then why are you participating in the convention ceremonies at all? Why are you still promoting The Messiah on the campaign trail?

If the Clintons are really angry and hurt about they way they have been treated, they should do something about it, or shut the Hell up already.
