fuck cnn: The problem with Bill Clinton

[spanone]

(CNN)Like a broken clock, Donald Trump is occasionally right. Who knew it would be about the subject of gender politics? Trump looks and sounds like a cave man in a business suit. But he's helped illustrate a Democratic double-standard on sexism.

This latest row started when Trump said Hillary Clinton had been "schlonged" by Barack Obama in 2008 -- schlong is a Yiddish word meaning penis. Clinton replied using a French word, saying that Trump had a "penchant for sexism." Trump then charged the Clintons with sexism in a back and forth that culminated with his assertion to CNN's Chris Cuomo that Bill is "one of the great woman abusers."

Pundits of left and right were suddenly divided. Was Trump articulating conservative bigotry towards successful women? Or is Bill Clinton fair game?

He is and he isn't. On the one hand, Hillary Clinton deserves to be able to pursue the White House in her own right. True, she is who is she is because of her husband -- their marriage leant her stature. But Bill is also who he is because of Hillary -- he would never have made it to the presidency without her political genius.

1. Surely no one is surprised that this stuff is coming up now - in a GE fight it will be tripled and

quadrupled down on, and no amount of explaining and scolding will make it go away. The GOP would be energizing their voters with this - right or wrong does not matter one little bit.
