Eighteen years into his post-Presidency (and 1.5 years into his wife’s second non-Presidency), Bill Clinton has taken a break from his job as Chief Justice of the Hawaiian Tropic Bikini Contest, to write a “thriller.” Well, actually, the ghostwriter who wrote for James Patterson and Bill Clinton wrote the novel for the both of them. And they want you to know that their cyber-Jihadist villain is . . .

. . . NOT Muslim!

For the past several weeks, The President Is Missing: A Novel, ostensibly by Clinton and Patterson, has been atop the best-seller lists. It’s been selling like hotcakes.

Bill Clinton in 1998 . . .

Bill Clinton in 2018 . . .

But the plot is your typical “the bad guy jihadist is not Muslim” pretzel contortions that you typically see in Hollywood movies and TV shows. Even the very liberal New Yorker notes the PC move:

{President] Duncan is facing possible impeachment, partly because his opponents are careerist weasels but mainly because, according to leaked reports, he held a telephone conversation with “the most dangerous and prolific cyberterrorist in the world,” Suliman Cindoruk, who leads an organization known as Sons of Jihad. (“He’s Turkish-born, but he’s not Muslim,” Duncan says. That faint sound you can hear is our two authors treading very, very carefully.)

Um, here’s a tip: jihad is Islamic violent struggle. It ain’t Christian violent struggle. And it’s not Wiccan violent struggle. Why have a Turkish guy with a Muslim name and an organization with a name clearly connected to Islamic violence, and then tell us that “um, hey, he’s not Muslim”?!

I’ll tell you why. The same answer as we’ve seen in nearly two decades since 9/11: you can’t tell the truth about the religion of WTC bombings, Pentagon bombings, Boston Marathon bombings, Fort Hood mass-shootings, San Bernardino mass-shootings, etc., etc., ad Nauseam. So if anything screams “Muslim!” at you, just ignore it. All terrorists are anything but Muslim . . in the world’s of Hillary’s husband and that other guy who factory-farms thrillers.

Well, it’s definitely fiction.

I’ve read some reviews decrying that this thriller (not really written) by Bill Clinton, doesn’t have any sex in it. Yup, that’s probably what you’d first look for from the king of Monica cigar sessions and Oval Office rapes.

I’ve also read several reviews that say the book is mediocre. Shocker.

BTW, since he’s all about whitewashing, who did the first WTC attacks in 1993–you know, during Bill Clinton’s Presidency? Well, by his current PC revisionist weltanschauung, Ramzi Yousef and Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman were . . . Protestants?

Twenty years ago, Bill Clinton fraudulently told the American people, “I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

Now he’s fraudulently telling us, “I do not see terrorists and jihadists who are Muslim.”

By the way, all of this is doubly sad because, as I’ve pointed out on this site repeatedly, Bill Clinton was actually tougher on Islamic terrorists than any other President. He had the toughest and most effective sanctions on Iran, and he enforced them. And he signed into law a counterterrorism package that made it illegal to donate to and/or money-launder to terrorists and he put teeth into it to enforce the laws. Before this, it was actually legal for Americans to contribute directly to HAMAS, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc. Some of the toughest U.S. Customs, Secret Service, and INS operations agains Islamic terrorists occured during his Presidency.

But, now, he’s done the complete conversion to lefty PC dogma.
