Bill and Belinda’s excellent adventure
The First Post ^ | 3/10/2007 | Eric Reguly

Posted on 03/09/2007 6:40:01 PM PST by Mike Bates

As potential girlfriends go, Belinda Stronach would rank as a true catch. She is single, youngish (she just turned 40), attractive, wealthy, impeccably well-connected and politically ambitious - glamorous in every respect. Two years ago, Time magazine listed her as one of the 100 most powerful people on the planet. The tabloids cut to the chase: they called her the "blonde bombshell" or "Bubba's blonde."

Bubba, of course, is Bill Clinton. He has been photographed with Stronach (right) several times. The sightings seem to be getting more frequent, leading to press speculation that their relationship has moved beyond official "friendship" - the description used by Stronach's PR people - to true romance. Poor Hillary Clinton. In the run-up to her presidential campaign, the last thing the New York senator needs is lurid stories about her skirt-chasing husband.

Two years ago, the woman Canadians refer to as "Belinda" quit both her job as CEO of the C$10 billion Magna International auto parts empire (created by her father, Frank Stronach) and her then husband - Norwegian speed-skating champion Johann Koss - for politics.

She was elected in a Conservative riding (constituency) just north of Toronto. More important, despite supporting abortion rights, gun control and same-sex marriages, she ran for leadership of the Conservatives - but lost to the right-winger Stephen Harper.

An acquaintance of Belinda's says: "Bill was always more interested in her money than her breasts."

LOL

Hillary as President gives us the Team of Clinton with the first man of Bubba and the first Mistress as Belinda.

A real troika.

All we need is the gardener to join in, and we can have all of North America represented in the White House.

The clintons are worth millions above the table, as the accompanying article says. But I suspect that they are worth billions under the table, in Swiss numbered accounts.

Vince Foster was their bag man, before things went awry and hillary had to take over that job personally.

Still, they are nothing if not greedy. I'm sure they would love the chance to stash away a few billion more.

I figure Hillary will make an announcement a couple of months before the election that she is divorcing her husband because of his philandering. That will get her the women's "victim" vote and give relief to some who don't want her husband back in the WH. ;)

Belinda should take extreme care to avoid being "Vince Fostered."

Belinda looks like a slightly younger Hillary in this photo:

She could be the "Hillary" that Billy-bob always wanted.
There is a striking resemblance. But Belinda is better looking.

Unfortunately, Bill has great political instincts and Hitlery has none. She needs him as her strategist.

I hope he has smoother moves now than those he used to try to charm Paula Jones, et al.
