7 deadly sins

Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth - 7 deadly sins - how many of them escape the Clintons? Novelist Kurt Anderson writes about Bill Clinton’s presidency as bungled and distasteful, his wife’s Presidential campaign the same, both husband and wife as incarnations of the "most unattractive attributes of their generation’s elite - blind ambition, cloaked in do-good self-righteousness, a sense of entitlement, high-handed snobbiness, ...hedonism,... narcissism.... They have become a bit of an embarrassment." To whom does shame apply other than to themselves? To America as a country that has endured their slings and arrows unused in their quiver and never aimed at the 7 deadly sins. Theirs is: arrogance, greed, lust for power as well as sexual satisfaction, angry tirades against Republican and conservative conspiracies, materialistic excesses and addiction to the good life, jealousy of the Presidency and its power and laziness to learn the facts about ‘real Americans, real patriots, real intellectual honesty and real moral, self-sufficiency that have made this country great.

Shame on you two Clintons. Does a third, Chelsea, stand in the wings? Oh God, no!
