Obsessive Clinton Disorder

You might think that former president and noted womanizer Bill Clinton doesn’t have much to do with Brett Myers’ arrest. Then again, you might not be obsessed with him.

Writing in today’s Evening Bulletin, Michael P. Tremoglie accuses Bill Clinton of beating up a woman, too, and whines that Clinton was allowed to make his next scheduled start in the rotation without any condemnation:

The reaction by feminists to the alleged spousal abuse by Phillies’ pitcher Brett Myers is an excellent example of vile hypocrisy. It would even be amusing if it were not so pathetic. The condemnations of Myers by feminists (and holier-than-thou hypocritical journalists) were swift, certain and loud. [...]

Contrast NOW’s reaction to a baseball player’s alleged spousal assault to their statements regarding similar allegations of assault against a female (albeit not his wife) by a President of the United States, Bill Clinton. NOW made this tepid 1998 statement about the alleged assault of Kathleen Willey, “If the chief executive of the United States uses that position of power in the way that’s been alleged, it has a very serious impact on women in the workplace.”

We will never know the truth about Broaddrick’s accusation of sexual assault by Clinton? Why? Because it was twenty years old? Or because he was a Democrat president who favored abortion? [...]

The only people who believe them are liberals - and to paraphrase Ronald Reagan - it is not that liberals do not know anything, it is that so much of what they know is not true.

If anyone comes up with a phrase that’s roughly 10 times stronger than “holier than thou,” let me know, because I’d like to apply it to Tremoglie. If this column weren’t so pathetic — aren’t columns supposed to convince someone of something rather than just preach to the choir? — it’d be amusing. Oh, wait. It is amusing.

If you’re wondering, yes, that headline says both men are guilty. I dunno.
