Sadly Angie Bowie's getting

Sadly Angie Bowie's getting trashed by the audience of British Celebrity Big Brother for using Bowie's name all these years instead of switching back - some kind of parasite, eh?

Except she was with Bowie from April 1969, 2 months before he recorded Space Oddity (the hit version) until the month he started recording Scary Monsters in Feb 1980 - e.g. his creative non-pop years, acting as his default manager & creative director and of course fashion/love partner during some of the earliest of times when in New York at Warhol's with the Velvet Underground & while crafting Ziggy up to the Thin White Duke. Not sure where exactly she was during Bowie's Berlin Trilogy & collaboration with Iggy. But women should just accept their role and move on when they're used up, expecting nothing in return.

Hmmmm, that reminds me of

Hmmmm, that reminds me of some girls in a club in Vegas, caught me at the door with a 3 foot stream of some red-pink vodka shooter, had me down on my knees in no time flat. [only to get the Trump image out of my head]

The Clintons' problem is that Bill's side activities are imaginable, thus they will be covered by the press forever.

But take Trump and Murdoch---they would have to be pissing straight vodka to get a blowie from one of their Trophies. And who's going to cover that?

Wow, I just watched a lot of Bowie and rock 'n roll documentaries the last 2 weeks, and they were all full of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. I didn't think sex in the bathroom stalls or Oval Office changed much of anything. Much of the lbtg rights movement is about fucking, not just marriage, and high up in "what people like to do" from 14 to 90. Angie Bowie lived with David Bowie through all his queer/bi- days and helped him BUILD his career - she & Ronson's wife made him do his Ziggy haircut, thus a star was born. Was she just some groupie that had to accept Bowie or he'd find someone else? Pathetic summation - she picked him up when he was feeling shitty, overall stronger than him in many ways.

The stupid paleolithic sexism on the left really pisses me off. All the wailing about Trump and the left is frequently as 1950s June Cleaver retarded. People fuck around, have dicks and cunts they need to get off, (females) get abortions, have messy entanglements, and it's just 1 part of them and usually doesn't define their work or their ethics outside of relationships or much of anything else, though women have been putting up with men's shit since we crawled out of trees and men discovered they were bigger and nastier, so please give the misogynistic tut-tutting and marital second-guessing and backseat power relationship doctoring a rest. A man can be divorced 3 times and no one discusses why he did or didn't stay with some woman - they're just fashion accessories, someone in the background presumably raising kids and doing the dishes. Even Bowie had his fashion supermodel trophy wife - that is how our world works.

[Bowie before & after haircut - with Angie & kid, with Mick - which alien would you follow? and clearly disgusting, that guitar fellatio - what about the message it sends to children & young guitars? think how it's destroyed society since! Reality check - Bowie got more blowjobs in 1 night than Clinton got his whole presidency, and no one remembers Bowie as "oh, he had too much sex and banged an underage girl 3 decades ago and how his wife must have enabled all this tramping around". Bill should have been President of Mars instead - they're a lot more fun up there.]

Hal, you have trouble with answers like "I'll look at the situation and see". Hillary blew her reputation over health care when many wouldn't lift a finger or Shalala insisted on "abortion for immigrants", ie the craziest most difficult framing of issues. But you just want a soundbite, not solution, and whatever it is you want it to trash Hillary, so frankly I don't really care about your opinion - you've shown you're just out to find some arbitrary number and peg it on the wall.

They're two talented people .

They're two talented people .

Bernie is a transparently decent one. Hillary may be as well for all we know but in fact, that "all" is very little. Which would also have been the case with any other woman living with Bill . As with most of the string of marital- related " abuses" of which Maureen Dowd reminds us. And reminds us. And re.........At some point Hillary accepted that if she wanted to remain married to this guy, or better -if she loved this guy- then she had to live the way that any spouse of his would have to live.So she did. And does.

I don't even speculate about who would be the better president since -of the two -only Hillary can be elected.

Agree. So far this is turning

Agree. So far this is turning out well. I have no problem voting for Bernie if he is the nominee.

In reply to Why do you think she'd want

Thanks Mike. I'm going to chalk "epitome of cool" up as one of those humorous asides I'm too dense to get. Regarding her "maturation as a leader", I guess this is what you meant by "overlooked qualities" that come to the fore when she loses. Can we look forward to more maturation over the next few months?

Regarding the question of why she would want to walk back her recent foray into true progressivism, I think the better question is why wouldn't she. Nearly all Presidential nominees tend to campaign for President according to the plexiglass principle. They bounce back to the center after the primaries. There's no reason to believe Clinton will be any different.

Moreover, Clinton has never adopted positions as populist as she is now taking. Remember she was for the TPP and appeared to support the Keystone XL before she was definitively against them. She opposed raising taxes on investment income above 20% before she supported the current levels of 28% . Quite simply, she's "moderate and center".

It is funny. Also, Hillary

It is funny. Also, Hillary Clinton's maturation as a leader since the 2008 loss to Obama seems evident and it all started when she became the epitome of cool as SecState.
