HARTFORD, Conn. --Former President Bill Clinton is sticking up for U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and his support of the Iraq war.

[snip]

"If we allow our differences over what to do now in Iraq to divide us instead of focusing on replacing Republicans in Congress; that's the nuttiest strategy I ever heard in my life," Clinton told the nonprofit cultural organization.

Audio of Clinton's comments was posted on the Minnesota Public Radio web site.

Clinton's only goal in life is to become the "First Gentleman" of the United States, except this time he may keep his bimbo eruptions out of the Nation's House, keeping flying flatware coming his way from his legal mate.

The Toon is nothing if not politically savvy...he knows the 'Rats attack on Lieberman, if successful in the primary, is politically damaging to the party's November prospects...

That's EXACTLY what they're doing...Mrs. Clinton gets to say one thing, hubby says the other...EVERYONE is covered. It's so obvious...will anyone fall for it?

But how hilarious: Bubba's statement on this is 180-degrees out from the Missus' statement.

ha ha ha

However, Bubba should watch his back.

I agree that Bubba is the worst kind of chauvinist.

Few have actually thought through the scenario you bring up: what it would mean to have Bubba as the spouse at the White HOuse.

However, I am sure that MRS BILL CLINTON has contemplated this. First, these two spend hardly any time together now and certainly don't live together. (Not that they shared living space while at the White House.) Official duties of the President, however, would more or less require MRS BILL CLINTON and Bubba to appear together quite frequently, else risk tongue-wagging.

That's gotta be a dreadful prospect for both of them, but especially for MRS BILL CLINTON as she knows that she cannot outshine The Bubba and that The Bubba cannot stop being a bigger PR-hog than she is.

So not only will they have to ramp up their sham marriage for public consumption, and spend time together smiling and nodding their heads in agreement with each other (NOT), The Bubba will still keep up his "friendships" and this will be a constant source of danger and anger.

Not only that, The Bubba will be constantly asked what his opinion is on this and that about the administration and he will not say "Well, that's up to The President (Hildabeast)." He's pathologically unable to keep his trap shut, although it's possible that if anyone could get him to shut up, it would be the Hildabeast.

Gawd, it would all be so ugly and icky.

And "first female president"? No way would MRS BILL CLINTON ever come off this way except to her moonbat base---she would constantly come off as a puppet or a shrill, shadowed by her adolescent husband, who also would be a constant reminder of the real reason she obtained office.

I honestly think these two (Klintoons) never do talk. That's what would be so painful for them if MRS BILL CLINTON by chance became president.

Bubba would have to be around more, at least for social events, etc. and the two would actually have to play nice, at least in public.

Gross.

Correct. Don't forget if Hillary gets elected, she probably won't withdraw troops from Iraq.

But she'll blame the problems on the previous administration aka "it's all bush's fault"

Bill and Hill are playing good-cop, bad-cop. Bill can stay the moderate while Hill runs leftward to appease the moonbats, in the hopes that he can then help her get back to the center in time for the general election.

I posted #31 before I saw your post. To any seasoned political observer, it's pretty obvious what the Clintons are up to.

B.J. Clinton is a real smart politician, make no mistake about.

By staking out a position on the WOT that allows flexibility in the likely event that the war situation is undeniably better by 2008, he's giving himself the best possible chance of being the first man to accede to the First ladyship.
