Bill Clinton isn’t as sly as he thinks he is.

(By the way, how could someone who’s been linked to as many affairs as he’s been — Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley, Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones, at least — ever really think they’re sly? I’m just asking.)

It isn’t just Dick Morris, a former Clinton strategist, that sees what Bill’s doing. We all see it. Iowa threatened his precious “Clinton Restoration” dream down to its very core, scared the Lewinsky out of him. That’s why he came out guns a’ blazing as Hillary’s hitman during the days leading up to the New Hampshire primary, and has played that same role ever since.

The Clinton camp thinks this strategy it’s working, but it’s not. They fooled us twice already, but this time it isn’t going to work. You see, Slick Willy is serving as a similar diversion to the one that his wife provided him in 1992. Bill thinks that if all of Barack Obama’s focus is on him that not only will it not be on Obama’s inspirational message, but the heat will also be off of Hill. I’ll give him some credit — it worked for a little while.

But Bill’s political thug tactics aren’t working any more.

Why not? There are several reasons.

First off, Bill has reminded America of his true colors. He’s never been one of the good guys, and neither has Hillary. The fact that the two have switched their previous roles in the “good cop, bad cop” game proves this. These two will say anything, do anything, put forth absolutely any act to once again reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. By being so hellbent on winning, they’ve actually lost the respect of many voters — to Obama. This game the Clintons have played has only made Obama look that much more genuine. John Edwards as well. Hell, even Mitt Romney looks like Honest Abe in comparison.

Also, when the likes of high-ranking Dems like John Kerry and Tom Daschle are calling you out for “swiftboating” and unpresidential decorum, it looks bad. Real bad. Unpresidential decorum — I like that. It reminds me of when Bill got impeached by the House for lying. It reminds me of when Bill basically told Bob Dole to eat a fat one in the Oval Office (how many times did that happen) when he rightfully accused him of dirtball tactics in the 1996 election. It reminds me of our current Prez, George W. Bush. You know, Bill and Bush are more alike than we realize. Both have this I-act-like-a-good-ol’-boy-so-people-don’t-see-how-I-really-am thing down. Hopefully, this time around people won’t fall for the undercover Rovian tactics that got us into this shitty situation in the first place.

It also looks bad when people have to resort to launching websites such as this one in order to get your cheesburger-eatin’ ass to sit down. You had your turn, Bill. America wants you to sit out and let your wife run. He can be supportive, but that’s hardly what he’s doing. This is not only bad for Bill’s party, it is bad for his wife.

Bill’s making it look like Hillary’s not strong enough to fight her own fight. Like she needs him to hold her hand. What will she do on “day one” when America is attacked by terrorists? Come running to Bill and ask for his advice on homeland security and foreign policy? That will work wonders. Remember, America was hit be three terrorist attacks during the Bill Clinton administration. I’m not blaming him for them, but facts are facts. That’s two more than even President Bush saw on his watch. Additionally, the rest of the world isn’t nearly as fond of Bill as less than 50 percent of America is (remember, he never garnered 50 percent or higher of the popular vote). Don’t believe me? Fine, find someone with Serbian roots and see how they feel about the Clintons.

Back to Hill. Bill’s reminding everyone — and I’m not trying to be sexist here, but this is the message many are likely receiving — that Hillary is just another woman, and not the tough-as-nails politician she touts herself as. It’s like when the Million Dollar Man bought out Andre the Giant to win the WWF title for him. We all knew Andre was a badass, but it made the Million Dollar Man look like a little bitch. From where I’m sitting, it looks like even Bill thinks she’s not strong enough to take on Obamamania by herself. This is foul play. It’s Tonya Harding getting Jeff Gillooly to take out Nancy Kerrigan’s knee when she knew she couldn’t beat Kerrigan fair and square.

Then there’s this whole racial-polarization strategy Hill, Bill and Co. have employed. Talk about disgusting. Bill lets people call him “the first Black President,” yet he’s willing to pit the races against each other to get back in the White House. As I said, anything goes. Was he the first black president when he — and I’m borrowing from political pundit Roland Martin here — let 800,000 Rwandans die? He’ll kiss a black baby in the public’s view, then devise a racially polarizing strategy behind closed doors. That’s just the way he is.

People need to understand that many mental healthcare professionals clinically diagnose Bill as having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Why did he come on so strong after Iowa? Because he’s got a sense of entitlement, a grandiosity. Because he’s exploitive. Because the same rules that apply to everybody else don’t apply to the Clintons. C’mon, silly, everyone knows that. How dare anybody take on the almighty Clintons. How dare anyone think they can help the American people more Bill me and Hill.

That’s exactly the problem; Bill’s gotten so caught up in his narcissism that now he’s only trying to help two people — Bill and Hillary. Despite being a card-carrying Democrat, I won’t vote for the couple. I’d rather not vote at all than know I contributed to dishonest politics as usual for another four years. I’d vote for John Edwards if he wins the ticket. I’d vote Michael Bloomberg. Unlike the Bill and Hill show, I hold myself accountable for what I say and do. That’s precisely why they will never get my vote.

Obama was right when he said the Clintons have “higher negatives than any of the remaining democratic candidates.” He’s right when he says that he “will get the people who voted for her,” then asks about Hillary “can she get the people who voted for me?” The answer is no. I’m not going to lie, some will vote for her. But many won’t. Because of Slick Willy and HRC’s Rovian politics, it’s not just half of America that hates the Clintons — it’s now also half of the Democratic party.

That’s why even if Hillary wins the nomination — and my money is still on Barack — she and her red-faced political hitman will still get what all hitman eventually get in the end — justice. The Clintons running against the GOP without half the Democratic party having their back would be just that.
