Bill Clinton Says Media Is Overhyping Hillary Email Scandal
Time ^ | September 26, 2015 | Maya Rhodan

Former President Bill Clinton called the controversy surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email address and server while in office “catnip” for Republicans in an interview released Saturday.

“The other party doesn’t want to run against her and if they do they want her as mangled up as possible,” Clinton told CNN‘s Fareed Zakaria. “They know that if they leak things and say things they know that that is catnip to the people who get bored talking about ‘what’s your position on student loan relief.'”

Bubba wants you bad old Freepers to lay off the catnip provided by the World's Smartest Woman ... so that he can return to the executive mansion as First Lady ... and turn it back into a cat house!

Obama is taking down Hillary’s campaign run and Bill is whistling past the graveyard pretending it ain’t happening.

What happened to that “fairy tale”, Bill?

Au contraire, Bubba. Most of the GOP contenders are wiping the floor with her. Joe Biden would be a far more formidable opponent that that foul witch you claim as your wife.

Bubba is a hero only to the kneeling liberal press of two and a half decades ago. Most voters today don’t know a thing about the ‘Clinton Magic’ or how he led a compliant media to ignore corruption in the highest office in the land to believe in the fairy tale of a third Camelot. The fairy tale exists only in the minds of a few washed up pressers soon to go out to pasture. Bill Clinton is an angry old finger pointer to most seeing him today.

Bill, she had highly classified material on an unsecure, unsecured server. That is a big deal. Others who have done less have gone to jail.

I am reminded of Bill Clinton in his explanations about Robert Byrd's early dalliance with the KKK.

"They mention that he once had a fleeting association with the Ku Klux Klan, and what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means," Clinton said. "He was a country boy from the hills and hollows of West Virginia. He was trying to get elected. And maybe he did something he shouldn't have done, and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that's what a good person does. There are no perfect people. There certainly are no perfect politicians."

Didn’t he pretty much say the same sort of thing about his young intern scandal?
