No...there was dissension. Problem was white people ate that shit up and self-appointed Kings of Blackness rolled with it instead of giving the Morrison the smackdown she deserves for saying such stupid things. Add to the fact that sAKoBs never corrected the chuckleheads of the media whenever they said it, it grew. But trust...there's a lot of people who were pissed when it was first said and have been speaking out against it all these years.

I'm sure you read what Morrison actually wrote. Right? Didn't seem to me to be a compliment at the time. I sort of thought her point was that the white establishment was treating Clinton the way they always treat black men. And that's what she meant by first black President. But maybe I didn't get it right. I'm always willing to learn. What part of what she actually wrote do you object to?

It's possible you're right, but the thing is, Bill's always gone into purple-faced rages, always wallowed in self-pity and victimhood, always been a narcissist. It's just that when he was president and the people attacking him were crazy right-wingers, it was easier to overlook or forgive these flaws -- flaws which, along with a lack of self-discipline, ultimately undermined his presidency. My theory is that Bill hasn't really changed; rather, this campaign has shined a brighter light on what has always been his dark side.

Dr. Frist. Paging Dr. Frist.

gag me.

That's not his only "senior/Bosnia moment" in the interview. It's chock full of them.

I said, if you go back to what I said … First of all, there was a conversation that I engaged in that included two African America members of Congress, who were standing right there, who were having the conversation with me.

Uh, no, it was not "a conversation" with "two African America members of Congress" that was somehow picked up on video; it was Bill's answer to this question from a reporter:
"What does it say about Barack Obama that it takes two of you to beat him?"

We didn’t even know what the vote was gonna be at the time. We were all sitting around drinking coffee. We’d just been to breakfast. We were talking about South Carolina political history. And this was used out of context and twisted for political purposes by the Obama campaign to try to breed resentment elsewhere.

As you can see from the video, he is standing, not sitting; outdoors, not eating breakfast; and those two AA congressmen are nowhere in sight.

Didn't they learn from Bosnia that you shouldn't rewrite history that has been recorded on videotape?

And this was started off because people didn’t wanna -- they wanted to act like, for reasons I didn’t understand, that Senator Obama didn’t have this African American support, or they thought his white support was better because Jesse Jackson had blue-collar working people, and most of Senator Obama’s support were upscale, cultural liberals.

OK, it's unclear what the "this" refers to in "this was started off..." but I would really like to know who made the claim 1) Barack Obama did not have African American support or 2) Obama's white support was "better" because Jesse Jackson had blue-collar working people.

Please, please, please, Bill, who on earth made EITHER of those claims?

And I called [Jesse Jackson] and asked him if he found anything offensive, and he just laughed and he said, ‘Of course I don’t. We all know what’s going on.’”

This implies that Jesse Jackson tacitly admitted that the criticisms of Clinton were a political ploy on the part of the Obama campaign. But I bet $100 that Jesse Jackson did not say, "We all know what's going on." In fact, while Jackson did tell the NYTIMES that he was not offended by the comment, he also said:

In his conversation with Mr. Obama on Saturday, Mr. Jackson said, “He told me what Bill had said. And I said to Barack, as a tactical matter, resist any temptation to come down to that level.
