What If Bill Clinton Had To Deal With Blogs?
Posted by Dirty Harry on Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
Townhall: “The Clintons perfected the “attack the messenger” strategy while in office. How well will it work with bloggers, who still have a heavy underdog streak? How would they have handled CBS memogate differently? Would they have attempted to smear Scott Johnson as a tool of rightwingthinktanks and Free Republic as inherently not credible? This might have worked in a media-scarce 1992 environment with the MSM to carry their water, but not as well with pesky bloggers demanding a substantive response.”
Watching Bill Clinton’s red-faced rebukes of Hillary’s critics and his hamhanded attempts to blame himself for her failures regarding national healthcare, etc… has been fascinating in their ineffectiveness. Is this the same guy who campaigned so brilliantly in 1992 and stayed afloat after lying under oath? Or, are we just on to him now? Whatever it is, Bill Clinton is not the man or master politician he once was; Hillary isn’t the Bill Clinton of any era; and the blogs combined with Youtube may just allow America to once and for all be rid of both.

There are a number of reasons for this but the main one is his legacy as President. It isn’t very impressive and I don’t think he wants to take the chance that she could be more highly regarded in an historical sense. His ego couldn’t handle it. I’ve felt for sometime that he would eventually sabotage her campaign and this could be the beginning.
Of course, this is only speculation on my part.
