Phil Bronstein: Hillary is Gay, Gay, Gay.
We're not sure what this bring to the discourse, except a self-satisfied smug smirk on Phil's face, but here you go!
Shorter Phil Bronstein: Hillary is a lesbian.
Title: Hillary comes out of the Bill closet.
Get it?
I've never been a huge Hillary fan, [ed note: no shit, sherlock. It would difficult to be even a tiny fan when Phil has been a thorough hater] but this was both heartbreaking and endearing, watching the cold steel and dispassion of the campaigner and too-often back seat passenger to power, explode into the molten lava that's been percolating all these years. Maybe it's been roiling around inside her, if you read Carl Bernstein's bio of her, since she showed up in Little Rock to marry Bill giving up her own promising DC career, and found him in flagrante with a young aide.
Oh yeah, Carl Bernstein's bio: out of the first four hits on google, one is for amazon, two is for an msnbc story: "Hillary is unauthentic," and one is for a London Times story: "Watergate reporter demolishes Hillary's career story." An unimpeachable source of unbiased information!
Even with the overlay of Mmes. Spitzer and Sanford, Hillary Clinton had remained the poster woman for the puzzlement of why anyone would repeatedly absorb such public humiliation.
Well, the answer of the puzzlement is in the subject line....Oh, Phil, you're so subtle.
Most recently, Bill arguably upstaged his wife yet again when he played the international broker in the freeing of two journalists in North Korea.
What does Phil mean, upstaged? Does Phil really think that Hillary's department was not involved in those negotation? Is Phil really such a rookie? Does Phil really think that Bill went there without his wife being part of the decision, either at the office or at home? Why Phil phrases this as a conjugal competition?
Phil freely speculates on the interworking of Bill and Hillary's couple, he's so definitely stuck in the past century, with his obsession about the Clintons and his reminding us at every turn he used to be a courageous war journalist. And he personally knows how it feels to feel upstaged by a glamorous wife. He must have been miserable married to a celeb.
After reading obsessively about it, I'm still not sure how exactly that went down. But it did appear that Bill had, as he often does, gotten applause for his role and snatched an inexpensive victory from the jaws of a larger lifetime of reminders of his self-absorption and incessant competition for the limelight.
It does not make sense, how do you snatch victory from reminders...that's poor, convoluted writing. But you have to admire how perverted Phil is: "incessant competition for the limelight." Bill used to be president of the US, so yes, he has a spotlight on him all the time, whether he wants it or not.
Let's rewind: Phil claims he read obsessively about it. So he read the Wall Street Journal. You know, North Korea Asked for Bill Clinton. Bill gracefully goes to rescue the hostages. Al Gore or Jimmy Carter were volunteered, but Kim Jong Il wanted the big dog. That does not square with Phil's view of Clinton. Clinton had to push away others so he could hog the spotlight as the savior of the day. So Phil just lies (and remember: that guy was editor of the Chron during the Clinton years!)
And something has kept this fascinating couple together all these years; I'm just as happy to believe it's love. I hope that's in there somewhere. But I also hope she feels better now. I certainly feel better about her after this dramatic blow-out. Maybe she's come out of her closet when it comes to Bill.
"When it comes to Bill." As for that other closet...
