The State of the Clintons' Marriage (Experts Debate Bill's Impact on "Hillary 2008!")
Foxnews ^ | 25 May 2006 | Susan Estritch

LOS ANGELES — It’s front page news in the New York Times. But what’s the news? There isn’t any, of course.

They’re married. They work hard to see each other. He tries not to upstage her. Sometimes, he wishes she had more time to spend with him.

This is news?

What makes it news, supposedly, is that unnamed Democrats are said to be worried about it.

Translation: is he still messing around? And does anyone care? Do you?

Bill Clinton isn’t running for anything. Hillary is. No one is even asking about her private life. So does it still make a difference what he does, if he does anything at all, in his private time?

There really are two distinct questions when it comes to the Clinton's marriage.

The first is historical: Will voters/women forgive her for forgiving him?

In her first run for Senate, in 2000, there was no question that one of the things that held her numbers down among women was the fact that they were angry at her for staying with him. No one understood this better than the then-president. I remember discussing it with him at length.

The MSM is going to be sad when the Clinton flame burns out in 2008 - they single handedly help sell so many newspapers.

But, anyone who watches CSPAN knows a single fact: Mrs. Clintoon is absolutely a screeching harpy when she campaigns. And the moneybags in NYC and LA who control the Democratic Party purse strings are not willing to burn a huge pile of money just so that they can claim the nominated a woman for President.

Hillary absolutely has no chance because she is disgusting to watch on TV, and Americans hate getting a sick feeling in their stomachs - they will not voluntarily vote into their Evening News night after night Cruella Deville.

It is highly unlikely she will even do a sustained run in the Primaries. The loss of resources for the eventually nominee will be not worth it.

I imagine he did most of the talking. If you know what I mean ...

What marriage?

It's been a business arrangement at least from the time that anybody started paying attention to them.

Have you seen Hildy's photo on the cover of Ostrich's new book?
She looks really life-like!

Marriage? Gimme a break.It's a strategic partnership and always has been.

The fact that they're still together clearly means that neither of them has yet outlived his/her usefulness to the other.

The first statement is true. The other two are alright falsehoods!

I really hope she or Al does get the nomination, or both of them together. I can see the bumper stickers: Vote Hillary, give Bill another Intern. Hillary will "Take it away from them for the common good". Hillary despises the Military, she will get rid of our Defenders.

Or how about Gore, Gore: Inventing the Internet and himself all over again. Gore: Global Warming Expert and Bore. Gore: Making all votes count except Military ones. Gore: The Impetus behind Love Canal and Polluter extrordinar.

As much as they try to make it real the more phony these 2 look. There's no reason to argue with any idiot that supports them as they are beyond any logic. I wonder if that guy, Larry Nichols is around. Will he be available when she runs. After all, he was the one that really exposed Bubba.

The Clintons, according to the Times, urged friends not to answer questions about the relationship and declined to be interviewed...

If only the rest of us had the intelligence and good judgment to follow the excellent example set by Bill and Hillary.

This explains why the Clinton Crime Syndicate has floated rumors about Bill's messing around...it keeps the attention off of Hillary's private life.

The fact that they're still together clearly means that neither of them has yet outlived his/her usefulness to the other.

And neither ever will ... spousal immunity ends with the granting of the divorce decree.
