Liberal media and politicos are hitting the fainting couches today over Sen. Rand Paul’s criticism of Bill and Hillary Clinton over the former president’s predatory sexual behavior while in office.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) called former President Clinton a sexual predator on Meet the Press.
These same reporters and politicos covered-up Bill Clinton’s ongoing affair in 2008 as Hillary competed with Barack Obama for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
During the Clinton impeachment investigation and trial as reports and accusations of Clinton sexually assaulting and raping women piled up, it was said by his liberal defenders that America needs to be more like the French when it comes to affairs by its leaders. Well, we’ve seen this month how having affairs in high office is working out (badly) for the French.
But at least the French know what is going on. In the 2008 campaign, the media chose to keep from voters the crucial information of Bill Clinton yet again breaking faith with his marriage vows.
It was the January 2010 publication of the book Game Change by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann which mentioned the affair that prompted the confession by Huffington Post reporter Mayhill Fowler that she knew about but did not report on the affair in February 2008. (Actually, it was a promotional confession as Fowler was pushing a new e-book of her own, Notes from a Clueless Journalist: Media, Bias and the Great Election of 2008, that was being released that week.)
In 2014 because of the media’s protective non-reporting we do not know whether Bill Clinton carried on his affair throughout his wife’s term as secretary of State, whether the national security implications of the affair were raised during her confirmation and whether Bill Clinton has yet learned to not sexually assault women.
I wrote about Fowler’s cover-up at Free Republic (picked up by Gateway Pundit) at the time it was published. Below is an excerpt of Fowler’s confession:
At the time I covered the rally in Victoria, I had decided not to follow up on another story about Bill Clinton that had come my way–one involving his longtime mistress. I mention the nature of the Clinton story with some specificity now only because months later, after the Democratic primaries, the National Enquirer wrote about the relationship. In Texas, staring this story in the face, immediately I turned aside. If I know all about this woman, then surely every national reporter does and is as wary of the story as I am. Nevertheless, I was careful never to mention anything to anybody at OffTheBus. I rationalized the refusal to follow through by telling myself that Clinton’s private life was peripheral to the race. But then there came a moment in the Texas primary when the nature of the Clinton marriage suddenly appeared front and center.
“A difference between Election 2008 and preceding presidential races is that only one political ad for TV had as much impact as any of half-a-dozen YouTube videos. The brilliant television ad was the “3 A.M. crisis phone call at the White House” that the Clinton Campaign ran in Texas before the primary. The Clinton team knew Texans–folks obsessed with all things big, including such big prospects as national security. So the red phone ad, as it was sometimes called, was powerful persuasion. If I heard a Texan say it once, I heard it a hundred times: thank goodness Hillary will have Bill next to her at 3 A.M. By late February, a piece that gave depth to this naïve view of the Clintons’ relationship was suddenly something to think about. But in fact I never really considered it. Executing such a story could have had consequences for the mistress’s children, who were still minors. There was no way I would write something that I knew in advance would mortify a high school student in front of his peers. My mother’s outrage and pain at the political sex scandal that had blighted her adolescence was just too vivid a presence.
“So I continued to rationalize. I told myself various truths: many different kinds of loving experiences make a good world; no one except partners themselves know what goes on behind the bedroom door. As a woman who has been married for thirty-six years, I appreciate the complicated and forgiving nature of long attachments. Nuance about the dynamic of a successful marriage had been one of the things lacking in the widely-criticized New York Times piece on John McCain’s supposed infatuation with a lobbyist. Therefore, I told myself, the presence of a mistress really does not tell us all that much about the rich relationship between Bill and Hillary Clinton. But, in the end, I passed on the story for personal reasons. And I came to see that family history, which had always been a penumbra belonging to the dead, was shaping my own storytelling.”
Rand Paul is a Republican with guts. The Clintons need to be mocked mercilessly. The country has suffered enough from the malfeasance of these two fakers.
It is scary to think of all the things the media is covering up that we do not know about.
If she isn’t even woman enough for her husband, how can she be strong enough to run a country?
She wants you to think she is man enough.
So, I clicked on most all the links and none of them ever actually got to describing the “affair” in more detail - only knowledge-of and ensuing coverups.
Is there a more complete treatment of it?
....they also refuse to cover a lot about Hitlery. Anyone ever read Ed Klein’s book “The Truth About Hillary”?
For you to be repelled is rational, but remember, Bill is just like her.
Hey Hillary! How bout investing in a nice moisturizer! yeesh!!!!
On February 21, 2007, in an interview with NYT's Maureen Dowd, Geffen described Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill Clinton in unflattering terms: "Everybody in politics lies, but the Clintons do it with such ease, it's troubling."
Geffen told Dowd that Hillary Clinton was "incredibly polarizing."
============================================
Geffen described Bill Clinton as "reckless" and cast doubt on those who say Clinton has become a different person since leaving office.
Clinton Foundations are a hint WRT then-Pres Clinton using govt power to profit a hand-picked few ---now indebted to the Clintons----who are large contributors to the Clintons' three "tax-exempt foundations," and are, in effect, financing Hillary's ambitions.
===================================
Billy Boy Clinton was grinning like a simpering fool at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation....even Boobomba was there hugging Billy like they were old pals.....all in the wake of the bombshell news that:
<><> the tax-exempt Global Initiative Foundation uses shady financing;
<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative had employed an active Muzzie terrorist named Gehad el-Haddad (The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad")
Gehad also knows how the Muslim Brotherhood launders money to finance terrorism, using "tax-exempt foundations."
==============================================
THE CLINTON FOUNDATIONS / MUSLIM TERRORISM CONNECTION --- The recent story that a Muslim terrorist was working at the Clinton Foundation AND conducting terrorist activities at the same time, explains why the Clintons just remade themselves into the hallowed "Clinton Family Foundation."
The Clinton's "Holy Family" act.
The Clintons' shady proclivities are unveiled in the recent NYT story. Corruption, greed, entitlement, nepotism, cronyism. The Clintons didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---never even had a home to call their own. Now they're multi millionaires.......the connivers have perfected the scam WRT gaming the govt system for themselves.
=====================================
There needs to be a thorough going-over of the three Clinton Foundations. We need to know who pays/funds the Clinton's lifestyle/political ambitions---- especially b/c Hillary is running for prez. It is important to know to whom the Clinton's are truly indebted.
NY POST EXCERPT ----The Bill Clinton Foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses — Bill Clinton’s foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses since 2003, an analysis of the nonprofit’s tax forms reveal.....includes $4.2 million in 2011 for the William J. Clinton Foundation (to which Hillary and Chelsea are attached); $730,000 for the Clinton Global Health Initiative; and $7.2 million for the Clinton Health Action Initiative (CHAI).
==============================================
How many ways can the conniving Clintons use their name to launder money?
<><> The William J. Clinton Family Foundation......
<><> the Clinton Global Health Initiative......
<><> the Clinton Health Action Initiative (CHAI).
More importantly, what is the connection between Corzine's MF Global, Teneo (which paid Bill Clinton $50,000 per month), The Clintons multiple tax-exempt foundations, and Muslim money-Laundering?
Did I read correctly that there are minor children with the mistress??????!!!!!!!!!
I recall Monica was no beauty queen but she still looked better than that, UGGGH!
Bill acts like he is Hillary's brother rather than a husband.
All I have to say about this is, Bill and Hillary have lived in different homes since she ran for the Senate. Both have kept those homes. And when Hillary was in DC, Bill stayed at his home in New York. Hillary maintained a home in upstate New York. Neither were seen together unless it was a political function. So it’s been obvious to not just me but most of the American people that the two have been separated for 10+ years. Why are the BS the lying and the coverups? Bill has been a sexual predator all his life. That will hurt Hillary if the people really know who Bill is. But I say air out the laundry, eliminate Hillary once and for all, and this country can move forward
“If she isn’t even woman enough for her husband, how can she be strong enough to run a country?”
Or if she isn’t woman enough to kick the scum bag to the curb. At this point Hillary qualifies as a battered wife from 30 years of serial public humiliation.
Gosh, Fowler, so glad you’ve confessed.
She does not look healthy.
Apparently Fowler’s cover up has been successful: Is the identity of Clinton’s 2008 adulteress publicly known?
Can you imagine the massive chip Hillary has on her shoulder?
She’s an angry, elderly marxist who thinks it is her divine right to be the first female president. She put up with being made to look like an idiot by Bill, and continued to stick by him in order to ride his coattails.
When her moment finally came, Obama came out of virtual obscurity, and pushed her out of his way. Again, she had to play second banana to someone she despises.
I’d hate to be one of the people who pledged support to her in 2008, and switched it to Obama. Those that did are on a list.
2016 is her last shot. She’ll throw everything she has at anyone who dares get in her way.
If she loses, I think she’ll have a total breakdown.
