WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton says angry anti-government rhetoric has led to a worrisome increase in threats against the president and other elected officials. Clinton says people should be careful that the words they use to criticize officials don't demonize them.

Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) and state Sen. Scott Brown (R) are pulling out the big guns ...Former Democratic President Clinton and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani are both in Massachusetts Friday to campaign for their party’s candidate in the Jan. 19 special election. ...The Suffolk University/7News poll has found 50 percent of likely voters now support Brown, compared with 46 for Coakley.

In last Sunday's Parade Magazine, in the Personality Parade section, a reader of the magazine asked the question: If Sen. Hillary Clinton is elected President, will her husband be called the First Gentleman? The magazine suggested that it be left to the readers, with the short answer of: Bill Clinton hasn’t expressed a preference. Some suggest First Man or First Husband. Readers, pick your favorite in our poll at right. I feel that the people best qualified to answeer are the FReepers. :

<p>FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON ON NOT CAPTURING BIN LADEN: 'At least I tried. That's the difference between me and some, including all the right wingers. They ridicule me for trying. They had eight months to try, they did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed'...</p>

In our urgency to deal with really urgent stuff over the past few weeks, we have been piling up news articles regarding what some regard as a universal urgency. That would be global warming or Global Warming or GLOBAL WARMING, depending on one's perspective, provided that one has a perspective. Bill Clinton, speaking last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that mother of all junkets for rich folks who take themselves very seriously, said that GLOBAL WARMING bothered him a bunch. "It's the only thing that I believe has the power to fundamentally end the march of...

WASHINGTON - Former President Clinton (news - web sites) told Demoncrats Thursday night it won't take any special magic, just Hillary's BLACK MAGIC, for them to win steal the White House again. "All that has to happen is you have to have a clear vision confuse and misinform the public about the issues, always claim you have a better plan for the future, abandon what is good and right--and use filthy wicked campaign tactics and fight like the devil you really are," said Clinton. "We need to brand ourselves better, with brands like Kool-Aid Lite, GOP Lite, Abortion Lite and...

Reacting to Monica Lewinsky's newly harsh criticism of ex-President Bill Clinton, Kathleen Willey expressed her sympathy on Saturday, saying that Lewinsky's recent comments to British interviewers show she finally understands the truth about the 42nd president. "I feel so sorry for her. I really do," Willey told WABC Radio's Monica Crowley. "She was so young. She just got taken in. She was in over her head and she just got absolutely bamboozled by this guy." But now Lewinsky is acknowledging that she's one of several former Clinton allies who paid dearly for the association, said Willey, who was victimized by...

Today was a very special day. I had the supreme opportunity to meet Hillary Rottenbottom at Miejer's Thrifty Acres, in Auburn Hills, Michigan. I arrived around 10:30 am, for her 11:00 am book signing. The parking lot was packed. I went into the store and was confronted by a sea of overweight housewives in white T shirts and shorts. You would have thought that this was an e-ticket ride for DisneyWorld. Fanny packs abound. The line wound around the perimeter of the store. Hundreds upon hundreds of clones. All so very excited. They were there to meet their Queen. I...

Just hours after the Northeastern power grid went down shutting off electricity for 50 million Americans, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took to the airwaves to blame President Bush and his administration's energy policies for pushing deregulation and coddling corrupt power companies like Enron. "I happen to think that making sure we have a reliable, affordable system of energy is a national priority - and I don't think that this administration sees it that way," Clinton told CNN's "Larry King Live." "They have continued to try to push deregulation and privatization, and to try to undo a lot of the...

BUFFALO, N.Y.

The New York senator and former first lady was to be the star attraction on Day 3 of the biennial convention of the Young Democrats of America, being held this year in Buffalo and expected to attract about 850 people. ``Hillary is a symbol of where we were and where we are going,'' said Lauren Worley, executive vice president of the more than 43,000-member group. ``She will meet...

Sean and Pete King really destroyed Hildebeast. Her attack on Bush last night could really hurt her. Woo-hoo! Justice would be nice for a change!!

Hillary Rodham Clinton was not openly campaigning last night in Cleveland's Shaker Square. Instead, a lot of people were doing it for her, wearing "Hillary for President" buttons, cheering "Hillary in 2008" and signing up for Clinton booster groups at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, where the former first lady drew a crowd of about 2,000 for a book-signing of her recently published autobiography, "Living History." Clinton, now a Democratic U.S. senator from New York, made an entrance by descending from the store's second floor to the first in a glass elevator to the delighted screams of onlookers who had begun gathering about...

At the JospephBeth in Shaker Heights (just south of Cleveland) bookstore Hillay was signing her Books. Is it just me or is this like the phony "listening tour" before her Senate run. We had 5 Freepers there myself, DollyCali, Commiewatcher; Common Tator; and TypeLouder (he guys am I missing someone?). In addition there were two very nice ladies who joined us to hold signs. In addition, a Right to Life group, had a large contingent with very attention getting signs...very attention getting. And lastly, there were two guys from the 92.3 Xtreme radio morning show; they were there with signs...

Clintons Lose Whitewater Appeal By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 10:49 a.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government does not have to pay for the bulk of former president Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton's legal fees arising out of the Whitewater independent counsel investigation, an appeals court ruled Tuesday.

<p>Former President Bill Clinton yesterday said he had been "demonized" for trying to change the nation's health care system, and called for an attempt to find a "bipartisan solution" to improve health care in the country.</p> <p>"I think it's quite interesting that the worst congressional losses that the Democrats suffered in the last 60 years was the midterm for Harry Truman and my first midterm, and it both happened after we tried to fix health care and we were demonized" for trying to have the government pay for it, Mr. Clinton said.</p>
