And he lets HuffPo’s Mayhill Fowler know all about it:
On the rope line, Clinton complained of those same issues to Fowler. “You know he didn’t use a single name, cite a single source in all those things he said. It’s just slimy,” he said. “It’s part of the national media’s attempt to nail Hillary for Obama. It’s the most biased press coverage in history. It’s another way of helping Obama.”
“They had all these people standing up in this church cheering, calling Hillary a white racist, and he didn’t do anything about it. The first day he said ‘Ah, ah, ah well.’ Because that’s what they do– he gets other people to slime her. So then they saw the movie they thought this is a great ad for John McCain– maybe I better quit the church. It’s all politics. It’s all about the bias of the media for Obama. Don’t think anything about it,” Clinton continued.
“But I’m telling ya, all it’s doing is driving her supporters further and further away– because they know exactly what it is– this has been the most rigged coverage in modern history– and the guy ought to be ashamed of himself. But he has no shame.”
Of course the Clinton camp has issued a statement saying that “President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article, but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it.” Not that he’s sorry he said it, he’s sorry he said it like that.

There are a lot of us who are sick and tired of all the Clinton bashing. Bill gets mad when his wife is attacked? Good. That makes him a real man in my book!
Read yesterday’s article in the NY Times by Stanley Fish, All You Need is Hate, and then read the comments. Most of the comments are in agreement; there’s been enough Clinton bashing already.
