Bill Clinton Bashes Man Behind 'Stop Hillary' Push Mon Apr 11, 2005 04:35 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton took aim on Monday at a powerful political opponent of his wife Sen. Hillary Clinton, saying a surge of "Stop Hillary" efforts "can't stop her." Clinton called one of the leaders of the movement, New York powerbroker Arthur Finkelstein "sad," after reports over the weekend that the Republican consultant married his gay lover. "Either this guy believes his party is not serious and is totally Machiavellian in his position or there's some sort of self-loathing there," Clinton said. "I was more sad for him. The New York Times reported on Saturday that Finkelstein, who has worked to elect strongly conservative Republican politicians, married his male partner in a civil ceremony in Massachusetts in December. The Republican Party opposes same-sex marriages. Hillary Clinton, a Democrat from New York, faces re-election next year, and many believe she will make a run for the U.S. presidency in 2008. Clinton added that he wasn't worried about the "Stop Hillary" campaign, which includes direct mail and Internet-based fund-raising efforts. Republicans say Finkelstein, a long-time ally of New York's Republican Gov. George Pataki, is a key force behind the "Stop Her Now" anti-Clinton campaign and moving behind the scenes to help raise money. Finkelstein rarely speaks to the press. The former president said his wife has worked hard as senator, especially in strongly Republican areas in upstate and western New York. "She's been great and he can't stop her," Clinton said. Clinton made his remarks at his New York office where he announced his foundation was donating $10 million toward treating children with AIDS in rural Africa.

Business as usual for heir Klinton and co.
He wasnt there in support of his wife, He was plugging his foundation. WHAT A TOOL..
Oh, and by the way, did you know he's gay?
Enough about Hillary, let's talk about me, me, me.
Did you know I'm given 10 million dollars to fight aids?
I predict Hillary will stop herself.
And the Clintons screw anyone, straight or gay, who opposes them....
"Did you know I'm given 10 million dollars to fight aids?"
Ya, giving away money to fight disease, wadda jerk. /s
Does this seem a bit like John Kerry mentioning that Dick Cheney's daughter is gay during the debates? That backfired on the Rats, here's hoping this one does, too.
Come on1 Bill Clinto doesn't want another bush in the White House.

You probably know that that wasn't my point.
I hope so.

Whatever happened with the tainted blood scandal? This link goes as far and the RCMP announcing it was opening an investigation in 2001, then nothing. Is the investigation ongoing?
The $10 million may be something to ease a guilty conscious.
Not " I"--My foundation !!!
ndt, trolling since March 16th, 2005....
I'm waiting for Karl Rove to set up an interview with Diane Sawyer and Monica on discussing Monica's feelings about Hillary running for the White House. ha.
