Friendly Fire
In Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye, Marty Augustine smashes a Coke bottle into his girlfriend's face and tells Phillip Marlowe “That’s someone I love. You, I don't even like.”
I felt that logic a bit checking out Vanity Fair's hit piece on Bill Clinton.The whole thing, even if generally true, seemed pretty sleazy. The same people who saw Bill through every scandal are now so besotted with Obama that they'll do whatever they have to do to hurt Hilary's campaign. (It's too late for the article to make any difference now, but when it was being written who knew?)
Just imagine how scorched the earth is gonna get when they start attacking people they don't like.

Gee where was the hit? The article seemed to be nothing more than a rehash of stories circulating on the airwaves and print for the past 6 months. Would have been overlooked and forgotten if not for Bill's (over) reaction. Guess it hit a nerve.
Since everyone in the world sees this as a hit piece but you, I'm not sure what you're missing. And it all would have been overlooked if VF hadn't decided to put it front an center.
As far as the hit a nerve argument, if someone publicly accused you of, say, molesting children, and you got really mad about it, how should I interpet that?
New England Guy is a child molester? Who knew?
So, when did you guys stop beating your wives, anyway?
