The state of Bill and Hillary Clinton's union is apparently strong - at least judging by the mongo diamond that Hillary was sporting on her ring finger yesterday. Sources say the former President quietly gave the iceberg-sized bling - thought to exceed 3 carats - to his wife months ago, in advance of their 30th wedding anniversary on Oct. 11 last year.
But the sparkling stunner is so big that the former First Lady has been nervous about wearing it and hasn't broken it out of her jewelry box on a regular basis until recently.
The big bauble was on full display yesterday, when the junior senator visited University Settlement, an outreach center on the lower East Side, to talk about cuts to early childhood education proposed by President Bush.
"It was a gift from her husband," was all Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Hanley would say.

OTOH, a diamond on a Pig.. is still a Pig..

How nice that she waited until JUST the right occasion to wear it after such a long time... especially since she was afraid to wear it for security reasons...
An OUTREACH CENTER would be a very safe and special place to preview your rock, don'tcha think?????
Bling - new word for BIG BRASS ONES?
:-)
Are we sure it is from Bill?
Trying to pass the Clintons off as the happy couple ought to offend most people's sensibilities.
Diamonds are forevever... so is hell.
WTF??? Like there is any chance she is going to be robbed at knife point while surrounded by security and SS protection? The reason she must be nervous is that the sheeple who vote for her can't see she is better than them, not just one of the common folk who couldn't afford anything more than a 1/2 carat.
The True Story of Bill and Hil's 30th Anniversary:
When Bill and Hillary first got married Bill said, "I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it."
In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. On the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were 3 empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash.
She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as to why there even was such a box with such contents. That evening, they were out for a special anniversary dinner.
After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry, Bill. For all these years, I kept my promise and never looked into the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know, why do you keep the 3 beer cans in the box?"
Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again."
Hillary was shocked, but said, "Hmmm, Jennifer, Paula and Monica. I am very disappointed and saddened by your behavior. However, since you are addicted to sex I guess it does happen and I guess 3 times is not that bad considering your problem."
Bill thanked her for being so understanding. They hugged and made their peace. A little while later Hillary asked Bill, "So why do you have all that money in the box?"
Bill answered: "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash.
Actions speak louder than bling.
Bill's behavior doesn't support a "strong" relationship.
This is pre-election B.S., and Hillary probably bought it herself.

Don't cheating husbands buy their wives
expensive gifts to throw them off track?
Is ol' Bill out roaming sweeter pastures again?
Oh please... she has secret service protection 24/7 - if she isn't safe wearing a diamond ring who is????
