The monstrous sun rises over the tableau, another da capo round of the daily quotidian’s diurnal recurrence. Hilari pauses her work of harvesting to savour a morsel of the dawn. Amor fati, she grumbles, of the eternal recurrence. She returns to the harvest.

Bill Clinton hates this portrait. So obviously I love it
AS EARLY AS 1993, I’ve thought Bill Clinton is a despicable human being.
Self-absorbed, manipulative, dishonest, vain, and driven by animal appetites and ego.
I remember him going out for a run, during his re-election campaign, and veering mid-way into a McDonald’s.
That’s Bill Clinton—a narcissistic boy-man who’s never met an intern or Big Mac he could resist.
Imagine having the power of an American President, and squandering it on Oval Office hand-jobs. Then, bombing Sudan to distract the country from your indiscretions.
The Clintons ate people who thought they were friends. Ate them and threw the bones to the wolves.
And for those who want to talk about Bill’s charity work—notice how he splashes his name in big bright letters over everything with which he’s associated.
THE WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON SUCH-AND-SUCH
So…I thoroughly enjoyed this Daily News article, headlined
Bill Clinton portrait in National Portrait Gallery has shadowy reference to Monica Lewinsky, reveals artist
Here are some of my favorite quotations:
“He’s probably the most famous liar of all time.”
“The country’s 42nd president was “terrified” to be painted by [Nelson] Shanks.”
“…he hid all fears with a relaxed smirk and bold stance…” [Bill Clinton almost always has a self-satisfied smirk on his face]
“When Clinton was not in the room, [the painter] says he set up a mannequin sporting a blue dress he likened to Lewinsky.”
“The Clintons hate the portrait.”
I wouldn’t be mentioning any of this, if Hillary were not likely to be running for President in the next election.
There should be a law preventing the Clintons, especially but not only Bill, from getting within 500 yards of the White House.
I wonder if they’d rent out the Lincoln bedroom, again, to their slick benefactors.
Also watch for the Clinton money to pour in, just like last time, from foreign dictatorships and oligarchs.
The Clintons. Yeck.
