Nasty nasty-grams from Bill Clinton as Bill damages and embarrasses his sort-of good name, microwaveable measured servings of birdseed, those women I like (the lovely rachel and katrina) and no more erectile dysfunction commercials

BILL CLINTON IS MAKING HILLARY CLINTON - hillary RODHAM clinton - LOOK LIKE A WEAK WOMAN WHO NEEDS HER MAN TO COME TO HER RESCUE and do her dirty work. Bill Clinton is fantastically great at speaking to audiences and acting sincere. I think he is a sincere person who "feels your pain," but that is not contrary to being a damn good actor who can push the "feeling your pain" buttons at will. Bill Clinton, in his post-Presidency, has acquired so much good will internationally and nationally for so many good reasons - he didn't lie about what other countries were doing, he didn't invade a nation under false pretenses, he respected other nations and treaties the U. S. had signed, he inherited a huge G. Herbert Walker Bush deficit and turned it into a huge surplus, he appealed to many Democrats for his moderate to liberal views on social issues, he had GREAT APPEAL to Republicans (and great disdain from blue collar Democrats) for NAFTA and other free trade issues, and he was caught lying about getting oral sex from a young intern. But when you're an ex-President, you're supposed to DIGNIFY YOURSELF - have dignity, exude dignity, be a diplomat, a spokesman for all good causes, an ambassador of good will - fill in the many possible blanks with more platitudes and DIGNITUDES - don't be an ass, etc. And now Bill Clinton is being a pit bull for his his little woman. Obviously his little woman needs the help, although I don't quite understand why she needs help as I've always liked her and respected her - she's a Wellesley graduate and Yale Law School graduate and smarter than the average bear. Bill Clinton, like all ex-presidents, should not be a local campaign chair who fields questions from the local media and can launch nasty nasty grams at will. Even George Herbert Walker Bush rarely if ever came to the rescue of his least intelligent son, George Walker Bush, and the slowest Bush son surely needed help much more than the extremely intelligent Yale Law grad. Bill Clinton is misquoting Obama and acting like the "Slick Willie" character he was labeled by many Republicans.

When Rachel Maddow and/or Katrina Vanden Heuvel speak(s), I am thrilled.

As I am writing this at 8:45 PM Eastern, I heard:
I" know I have high cholesterol but I didn't know it could lead to my E. D. (erectile dysfunction)."
I often keep television on while I do this and that but I wish there weren't commercials about E. D. and Cialis and Viagra and the loss of that "fresh feeling," when I'm trying to write.
And to hell with Nutrisystem commercials and eating pre-packaged microwaveable measured servings of birdseed. Damn it - I'm turning off the TV and going out to cause trouble.
Love,
A composer
