Bill & Hillary Clinton: Ozark Hillbilly Politicians

To paraphrase an old saying, " You can take the Clintons out of the Arkansas Ozarks but you can't take the Arkansas Ozarks out of the Clintons". When Bill was president, he behaved as an Ozark's Caligula. And the Oval Office is now a double entendres. And according to 2 recent books about Hillary, she knew most of what he was up to but didn't care and actually helped herself to some of the abuses of presidential power.

Well according to recent The New York Times/CBS News poll , that history has been translated into Hillary having a higher unfavorable rating than a favorable one by voters, i.e. 42% vs 38% respectively. Hill-Billy are a metaphor for the Ozark hillbilly life style stereotype. The hillbillys of the Ozarks are typically depicted living in shantys with garbage, furniture, broken farm equipment strewn across the property. Hill-Billy don't physically live like that, but their personal lives resemble that untidy, careless and shameless attitude of the hillbilly.

YouTube Documentary:Bill Clinton & Monica Lewinsky

The 2008 presidential race has started. These times bring the best and worse out of candidates and their supporters. Last election saw non-profits attacking John Kerry's Viet Nam experience. And Dan Rather lost his job at for-profit CBS for his misplced exuberance over what turned out to be faulty data on George Bush's National Guard experience.

Recently Bill Clinton, potential First Gentleman, was interviewed about this perspective role. His coy, dutiful, boyish-oh shucks manner in his answer reminded me of the total fraud he was and still is. Hillary is just as bad. The fact she still is married to this Ozark's Caligula speaks volumes of the filth she is accustomed to. So in the interest of the public service, how about a documentary to refresh peoples memories of the Clinton's collective lack of judgement? And it would all be true.

The venue would be YouTube, the script would be the depostion given by Monica Lewinsky to Special Whitewater Prosecutor Kenneth Starr. The props would be few: a mock-up of the Oval Office; a cigar; herpes look alike make-up; a blue dress; a sink etc. The style could be porno or dramatic or my favorite, a campy send up with additional dialogue relating to Bill telling about details of his private and business life .
