Oh come on Bill was entertaining. Soap opera writers couldn't have done better.
Actually, Bill did a pretty decent job as President for a donkey. How much of that was because Newt Gingrich and the elephants held him in check at the congressional level is debatable.
"I used to be disgusted. Now I'm just amused."
Since I live in a state where my vote literally doesn't count, I used to be apathetic but now I'm amused as well.
It is fun to watch the State Department drag their feet under orders from somebody in releasing Hillary's emails, milking them so that they'll last through the election cycle and not be forgotten by election day. (Her own party holds the White House, and you can only assume that someone in a senior role has a vendetta against her.)
It is fun to watch the political machine try to throw dirt at Donald Trump, and every attempt seems to only make his poll numbers higher. I think that their latest strategy is to just let him shoot himself in the foot.
It is fun to watch the new "super-PAC" rules playing out for the first time. Carly Fiorina's campaign manager made a statement in the press the other day that she hoped her super-PAC wouldn't spend millions of dollars on TV ads in Ohio, because the money would be better spent putting boots on the ground in Iowa and other early primary states. Super-PACs are a new fundraising loophole for politicians, which allow them to get around fundraising limits by letting fanboys/fangirls raise "unofficial" money and spend it however they want. They just can't coordinate or take orders from the politician's campaign itself, hence making the statement of how they'd prefer to spend the money in the press instead. (As for Carly's viability as a candidate, I credit her with single-handedly destroying HP while she was CEO, and wouldn't let her manage a bake sale if I have a say.)
The most entertaining thing of all is political debates, where moderators ask questions and politicians say what they rehearsed instead of answering them:
Moderator: Candidate A, can you tell me how you feel about the trade deficit with Bangladesh?
Candidate A: Today, I'd like to talk about the plight of Laquita the cashier and single mom, stuck in a dead-end job flipping burgers in a Chicago ghetto...
Unfortunately, the press lets all of this go on without question, because what was once a noble profession with at least a hint of high standards and ethics is now a bunch of un-trained blogging idiots and proving the theory about a million chimpanzees with a million typewriters. They look for a sound bite to quote, and not that the person completely avoided the question being asked.....
