WordPress doesn’t let me embed any videos but those on YouTube, so you will have to click on the link to see Bill Clinton, being grilled on “The Today Show,” access a basket of rationalizations to minimize his wrongdoing in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Co-author James Patterson (Bill is the latest neophyte novelist Patterson is teaming with for one of his cookie-cutter thrillers) even jumps in to add one.
I think I’ll leave it at that, and challenge Ethics Alarms Readers to identify the rationalizations Bill grasps at here. NBC’s Craig Morton should be commended for asking the tough questions, and not lobbing the softballs Bill expected.
The segment is here.
The Rationalization List is here.

“I did what I wanted, and I got away with it, NYAA-NYAAAA!”
I like: ‘Look at all the money I had to spend to cover it up: it took me lots of influence peddling before I had a million dollars to call my own. Pity me!’
Sociopath.
”NBC’s Craig Morton should be commended for asking the tough questions, and not lobbing the softballs Bill expected.”
That’s the first thing I said to my lovely and long-suffering wife after watching it this morning.
Clinton’s lost his fast-ball, but if you watched closely, you were still treated to at least one obligatory “Gosh I’m Humble While I Shit You Irredeemably And With Impunity” lip bite.
Patterson? Haughtily sniffing how long ago it was (still well within the “Paula Deen 27 Year Look Back Period”) and bringing up JFK & LBJ? What a smarmy fuckin’ prick!
Well said.

CNN Panel Tears into Bill Clinton for ‘Tone-Deaf’ Response to NBC

James Carville: “C’mon. He ain’t tone dayeff. The man can play the dang saxaphone!”
Porkers still hovering airborne:
Megyn Kelly & Mika Brzezinski both ripped Clinton a new one this a.m.
Old Slick Willy himself will be thrown under the bus by the #metoo folks: I just wonder how long his cover will last.
I bet ‘respect’ for (or fear of) Hillary is holding the hounds at bay, despite several clarion howls in recent months.
How exciting, to take down a former President! -same millennial SJW somewhere
How long the hounds remain at bay will become clearer as midterm Lefties begin lining up endorsements and invites to their prospective/potential districts.
There, we’ll see if and how far the Clintonistas have fallen.
Wonder if Hillary will be invited anywhere at all, except (maybe?) New York and Cali?
THAT will be some SERIOUS theater, am I right?
With the Clintonistas’ shadowy, strictly enforced Omerta, the Should I Stay Or Should I Go furious handwringing, feverish brow-furrowing, and semantic-spin gymnastics will be a wonder to behold.
On a far more serious note, America’s Dairyland may be considering bringing back Capital Punishment.

Hanging too good for a scoundrel who messes with da Brats…
You lost me at that prolific hack, James Patterson; the most corporeal ghost-writer in the business. Anyone who takes seriously any book that has his name on it (“co-” I don’t think) needs to finish their G.E.D.
