There is an awful lot of stuff out there regarding Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Ward Gracen, however with mixed results as to their significance. These are generally summarized as:
1. Allegations made that he raped her
2. She goes public stating it was a consensual
one night stand
3. She subsequently rescinds her statement that
it was consensual
4. She is shortly thereafter audited by the IRS
The truth is probably intertwined among the 107000 hits you get when you type Elizabeth Ward Gracen Bill Clinton into Google.
They were starting to call the IRS the "Internal Revenge Service" under Slick's admin. That's another whole can of worms in itself. They used to accuse Tricky Dick of misusing federal agencies and Dick never came close to what Slick was doing.
You've got CapitalHillBlue and a couple of hundred other websites calling Slick a serial rapist and documenting a couple of dozen cases, and you have to assume these outfits would have all been sued out of existence by now if there were any shot at claiming Slick was innocent of any of it.
You've got the woman who facilitated all this rape and pillage preparing for a run for the presidency. The Hillary Clinton story in fact can frequently be seen on Saturday nights on the grade B horror flicks. These usually show some poor old crazy woman living out in the Bayou swamp in a cabin with two grown sons who go out and rape and pillage at night and the poor old crazy woman has to keep the lid down on it. Substitute Slick for the two sons and you've got the Hillary Clinton story.
Part of the problem has to do with Slick's conception of social class and caste, and this has ramifications beyond Slick's treatment of women.
The problem is that Slick never spent a minute of his life in the middle class; he went straight from outright trailor trash to what he perceives as some sort of "elite", courtesy of Cecil Rhodes. Slick has nothing but contempt for the middle class and does not even view it as having any right to exist. In Slick's scheme of things, there are peasants, and then there is the government which rules them, and a natural aristocracy consisting of government wonks, weenies etc. etc. at different levels which Slick views as something like medieval nobility.
Naturally enough, Slick feels entitled to treat what he views as peasant women in much the manner in which medieval lords did. In medieval times, that was called 'le droit du seigneur' or something like that.
Likewise, in any instance in which the interests of middle class people and of trash conflict, or, for that matter, in any instance such as Kosovo in which the interests of a nation like Serbia with a middle class model of society come into conflict with a nation or group of people such as Albanians with a trash model of society, i.e. a nation or group of people attemnpting to breed their way to power by averaging ten or twelve children per family, Slick Clinton could absolutely be counted on to come down four-square on the side of the trash.
In other words, Slick can emphasize with his fellow 'aristocrats", and also with what he views as his fellow trash, but as a general rule, not with you or me.
