Isn't it great that Bill and Hillary Clinton have such a great marriage - that they can agree to disagree on important issues, even national security issues? OK, that's enough faux political correctness for now.
So let me tell you what I really think: It stinks that the ex-president husband and his wife, the junior senator from New York, have had such divergent positions in an important homeland-defense debate. Indeed, Hillary's foreign-affairs fecklessness, most recently on the Dubai Ports World deal, calls into question her fitness to be president, as long as Bill, too, is in the picture. If she can't lead him, how can she lead the rest of us?
On Feb. 17, Hillary denounced the Dubai deal, declaring, "Our port security is too important to place in the hands of foreign governments." But on March 2, the Financial Times reported that Bill was called in to advise the United Arab Emirates about securing the deal for its company.

she has a lot to answer for when she runs..the question is, will the MSM call her on it or softball the questions without delving into them..oh wait, it's a rhetorical question..sorry..
I can see at least ONE GOOD THING to come out of this ill-advised Dubai ports deal.
It shows that Hillary and Bill are only after their own self-interests -- and these may differ from time to time. Neither one has the integrity of a snake.
She's toast as a Presidential candidate. Best thing ol' Bill ever did for the country.
Again, I say it's just a way of fooling people into believing that Hillary will be a different president than Bill was. Nothing the Clintons do is unintentional.
Since our daughter graduated from college he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I am a lesbian.
What should I do?

Dear Clueless:
Grow up and dump him. For Pete's sake, you don't need him anymore.
You're a United States Senator from New York, act like it!

As long as BJ Clintoon is running loose, he will serve as a daily reminder of the previous nightmare we experienced with the Clintons.
Even the DUmbass liberals realize that and most of them with a slight amount of good sense are fully aware of it and don't miss a chance to criticize her.
Nope, her Thighness of the PantSuit may have a fearsome war chest full of money, but she is too polarizing, too disruptive, just too damned abrasive to convince anyone that she should be POTUS.
To hell with her and that idiot husband of hers.
Don't forget that Hillary has to deal with the internet and Fox News on top of talk radio. Bill never had those non-compliant media outlets to deal with before.
Bill is, after all, a regular in Dubai. The crown prince — that is, the government — contributed to his presidential library and pays him $300,000 per speech. Recently, Yucaipa, an American company that has Bill Clinton as a “senior adviser” and pays him a percentage of its profits, formed a partnership with the Dubai Investment Group to form DIGL Inc., a company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments.
If BJ is deeply involved in a "company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments," he and the Witch will be receiving millions of dollars of income in the following years from that very company. In other words, if she's elected President, the President of the United States will be on the Dubai payroll due to BJ's involvement in managing the sheik's personal investments. Her denunciation of the ports deal is nothing but cover for this raging, continuing conflict of interest. If the Pubbies can't take advantage of this, they can't take advantage of anything.
She spoke for almost an hour on her future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living, should she one day, become the first female President. She referred to her career as a New York Senator, how she had signed "YES" for every Indian issue that came to her desk for approval.
Although the Senator was vague on the details of her brilliant plan,she seemed most enthusiastic about her future ideas for helping her red,"brothers and sisters" At the conclusion of her speech, the Tribes presented the Senator, with a plaque inscribed with her new Indian name -Walking Eagle.
The proud Senator then departed in her motorcade, waving to the crowds.A news reporter later inquired to the grou of Chiefs, of how they come to select the new name given to the Senator.They explained that "Walking Eagle" is the name given to a bird so full of crap, it can no longer fly!
The part that blows me away is to think ANYONE would want to elect a person who remains in such a FAKE marriage.
WHY?
Why do they stay in that marriage? For their daughter who is grown up and knows that she is a lesbian and he is bi-sexual?
For the people who love being considered so stupid that they can't see this couple has no love for each other but a political partnership?
For the power they can gleam from each other?
Its disgusting.
If they were Republicans, the dims would go crazy.
Free Republic was around back in 1996/1997. The Whitewater Thread, linked on the Drudgereport page, was the compelling reason for me to join this site. We were onto Billybub back then and doing our damnedest around here to blow the whistle on him.
Perhaps the war chest is not for a run at POTUS, but her retirement fund. Retired canidates get to keep that money, right?
I guess Bill and Hillary will have to start speaking with one another.
I'm glad to see that it looks like a true conservative will get the nod to run against the Witch for the NY Senate seat in 2006. If that happens, he may actually attack her over this ports deal and the fact that she'll be deriving a great deal of income from BJ's being a "senior advisor" with a share of the income in an investment advisory company, the purpose of which is to advise the Crown Price of Dubai on his investments. Any investment advisor to a wealthy person necessarily develops a very close relationship with that person and, out of pure greed, becomes committed to that person's success. Thus, any government policy considered under a Hillary administration that adversely effected the Prince's huge portfolio would have a similarly adverse effect on the Clintons' wealth, meaning it wouldn't be adopted, no matter what the interest of the United States was.
Campaign finance laws currently prohibit politicians from receiving campaign contributions from foreigners. This investment advisor relationship of BJ's is far worse because it's hard income to the couple, which they can use any way they want. In other words, it's a giant, continuing bribe for the ever-greedy Clintons.
Their "marriage" will never break because it's held together by two powerful chains--their mutual, degraded, vile, immoral lust for wealth and power, which they can only satisfy by remaining "married."
A good point, but I submit that this BiOtCh has stolen enough to ensure that she will never go without, anyway.
Of course, as the real POS such as she is, too much is never enough.
Her kind steal for the vicarious thrills it engenders.
She ain't gettin' nothing from BJ the 'Toon, so she's gotta get her jollies somehow.
Screwing the gullible public is one way, I suppose.

I find it offensive. I don't get how everyone else does not find it offensive. It is saying "We think you are too stupid to see through this thin veil of dishonesty".
Its like... If someone is gonna lie to my face, they can at least make it a believeable lie instead of a bald-faced lie that demands me to want to challenge them... only to have them say "Wha? What do you mean 'bogus marriage'"?!?
