This being L.A., a suburb of Hollywood, we thought it worth nothing that Spike Lee has some opinions of the Clintons, which he’ll be discussing tonight on Bloomberg TV’s ‘Night Talk’ at 10 p.m. Eastern (and yes, we know Lee is a New Yorker, but still, it’s the movies).

Lee, a former Bill Clinton supporter, has slapped the Clintons around before, but the release pushing tonight’s interview sounds like it might be worth checking even if just for giggles’ sake (also on podcast for you tech-savvy folks).

During the interview Spike talks about why he no longer supports Sen. Clinton in the Presidential campaign, ‘if you know anything about the Clintons and what they’ve done in politics, they are gonna knock out some kneecaps.’ He said Bill Clinton has been ‘playing his whole thing like he is the great white father.’ ‘I think that they thought this thing was going to be over Super Tuesday, and Obama’s a nice young guy, but they didn’t see him as a threat, but when things started to play out the way they did, then they saw their whole thing was in jeopardy, and that’s when he isn’t just the nice young little guy anymore ... he’s our blood enemy -- and then that’s when you start to see the things come out the side of President Clinton’s neck, comments he meant in South Carolina.’

Well, that should add to the calm and dignified political discourse of the campaign, no?
