The liberal-media adoration of Bill Clinton never ends. You can easily tell by all of the embarrassing facts they always leave out: the impeachment, the disbarment, the rape charge, the Clinton Foundation cronyism. The televised debates after his speeches seem to center on whether he is the greatest orator of our time, or the greatest orator of all time. If you think of him as the most notorious liar of our time, or the worst possible character witness for his wife, then you're just a Clinton hater.
Tuesday’s Quote of the Day goes to ABC Hillary-beat reporter Cecilia Vega, who toed the DNC spin line precisely by hailing Slick Willie as “telling a family story at a bar, or around the dinner table at a holiday.” She also recounted their antiquated “secret weapon” spin (what’s secret about it?) that the Clinton camp used to employ the other way about Hillary. She should ask for a gratuity for that service.
"I have to tell you, sitting out here, this felt very much like Bill Clinton telling a family story at a bar, or around the dinner table at a holiday. It was a play by play of their life and he started by saying, I met a girl back in the spring of 1971, talking about the three times that he had to propose to her before Hillary Clinton finally said yes. We knew this was going to be a personal story but we didn't know this was going to be Bill Clinton attempting to reintroduce one of America’s best known politicians to this country. George, her campaign has long said, behind the scenes, that he is the secret weapon for her on this campaign trail and tonight, he proved himself to be a very valuable asset going forward." -- ABC campaign correspondent Cecilia Vega.
Runners-up included leftist CNN analyst Van Jones, who called the Republican convention a "hatefest," but was willing to sound like one of those dummies who's just figuring out who Hillary Clinton is, thanks to the oratorical brilliance of Bill Clinton:
"Hillary Clinton is just like a bunch of dots until tonight. She's this, she's that, she's this, she's that and she's kind of allowed herself to be interpreted by her enemies way too much…I never actually heard the dots put together in a way where I do, “oh, that's who she is, she's kind of like this workaholic do-gooder chick. Like, hey great! I know people like that.” Up until now she's been like this mystery and almost you're able to project what you want to on her. This is the most—Tonight was the first time I actually saw the dots put together in the right way.” – CNN analyst and former Obama staffer Van Jones.
“Bill Clinton will give what could be his most personal speech ever as he talks about his wife, later tonight. A woman still so unknown to many in this country, will he say anything that changes their minds?” – ABC World News anchor David Muir during the evening newscast.
“I must say, move over, Alfred Hitchcock!. The new master of suspense is Senator Bernie Sanders because he was letting everybody wait, the people in his corner, the people in the main, larger group, the Hillary people, will he or will he not make this by acclimation? Will he follow tradition? And he did. And I think everyone likes him now and I think it’s amazingly, very powerful politics.” – MSNBC’s Chris Matthews right after Sen. Sanders put the Clinton nomination over the top.
