It’s been most comical lately, as the silly season has kicked in full blast for Team Clinton on the rec list. The latest major scandal for Clinton fans….Sanders got invited to the Vatican! And, and it’s during the campaign in NY! And, and, and there’s a person at the Vatican who feels excluded from the process! This is really substantial and potent stuff, surely worthy of more rec listed diaries than the mere four or five that we’ve seen. Especially, in the wake of qualified-gate, where Sanders dared to use rhetorical speech…… during a rhetorical speech.
Please Clinton camp, I know Bernie’s led an unimpeachably righteous life full of consistent and dedicated public service so there’s not anything actually scandalous to write about. But, at least when us Bernie zealots write about a Clinton scandal, it’s about something substantive — like her godzillions of dollars in corporate funding, her constant $30,000/plate fundraisers, her flipping, flopping, and then flipping again on issues such as gay marriage, NAFTA, TPP, Keystone, etc. Her bad votes on the Iraq war, the Patriot Act, and the bankruptcy bill, her failure to pass a single bill of any substance during 8 years as a senator, her unwillingness to disavow creeps and cretins like Debbie Wasserman Shultz and Rahm Emannuel, her lies and distortions about both Obama’s and Sanders’ records during the campaigns, her husband’s offensive statements as he stumps for her both now and in 2008, and how she stumped for her husband’s offensive policies when he moved the Democratic party to the right in the 90’s.
I know there’s really nothing there, but at least try to come up with something like that about Bernie. Maybe his average donation is really $28, not $27, and he’s been lying this whole time. That might stick. Because, right now, you’ve got nothing. And I’d be embarrassed if I looked like you folks right now.
