Paul Begala.
Unfunny, Mean Spirited, Obnoxious Punk
This Clinton defender’s hatred of the President is malignant. I did, however, find his thoughts on president hating to be quite revealing. The following exchange took place during the course of a “hard hitting†interview of Mr. Begala by Buzzflash:
Buzzflash: How can you explain the virulent hate that so many people in the right wing have for Clinton? It just seems inexplicable. I mean, it is so bilious. And you think of people like Judge Bork who, at one conservative meeting said, he could have hung Clinton.
Paul Begala: You know what I’m thinking it is? I’ve thought about this a lot. My latest pet theory is projection — the psychological theory that says you take things you hate most about yourself, project them onto somebody else and attack them for that. So in other words, I think this is self-hatred projected on an innocent man. That’s what I believe.
Ergo, hate thyself, you piece of shit. He then applied this mindless psychobabble to Mr. Clinton:
I believe these people hate themselves. I believe they hate our country. I believe they hate our culture. And they can’t deal with that. They can’t accept the level of self-loathing that they have, and so they project it onto someone else. I mean, for all of his faults and the troubles in his marriage, Bill Clinton is still married to a girl he met in the library 25 years ago at school. Can we say that about many of our other leaders today in America, including on the right wing? I don’t think so. For all of his many faults, he is a man who, until he became the President of the United States of America, never earned more than $35,000 a year because he put service first. He is a man who, despite all of his many flaws and sins, has raised a good kid in as difficult a circumstance as you can possibly imagine. I mean, by any standard of measure, he is a good man. He is a decent man. He is a successful man. And yet they heap this hatred on him. I believe it is because they hate themselves. And for that, I’ll continue to pray for them.
Keep your prayers to yourself, punk.
…until he became the President of the United States of America, never earned more than $35,000 a year because he put service first….
Maybe never reported more than $35,000 of income. Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton and her cronies at the Rose Law Firm made a bundle, much of it legitimate…

There isn’t a more obnoxious, worthless snake oil salesman on our planet than this little prick.If I ever saw him, I would give him a punk slap, and wait for him to cry. He believes that because he sold the country a two term, good-on-TV President, that he is a superior intellect who had the right to interrupt people speaking,
accuse anyone of any bogus charge and take a tone of indignant rightiousness with everyone.
Come to New Jersey, and try that stuff here.

A marriage of convenience endures to permit both parties to do as they damn well please!
