Boilerplate Republican harassment of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton during last week’s House Oversight Commitee’s Epstein probe…flatline. Nothing to see or hear…please move on.
What impressed me, sadly, is (a) Bill’s shocking physical and mental decline, based on the last time I saw him speak at length about 10 years ago, and (b) how much sharper and spunkier Hillary is.
Bill and Hillary are both roughly the same age, born in the mid 1940s (Bill in August ’46, Hillary in October ’47). But Hillary is tough and feisty and sharp as an axe blade while Bill is a doddering, hoarse-voiced guy sitting in a lounge chair at an assisted living facility. I’m very, very sorry to see this. Bill seems weak and drained…he might as well be 85 or 90, and has pretty much become drooling Joe Biden. Hillary, on the other hand, is like snappy, never-say-die Bernie Sanders.
We all have slightly differing constitutions, and we all age at different paces. It’s all in the genes.
