Both Bill and Hillary Clinton were sitting with him on stage in Flushing Meadows when Graham greeted them as his "wonderful friends of many years." "I told him," Graham said of President Clinton, "when he left the presidency, he should become an evangelist, because he had all the gifts." Graham paused, and added with a smile, "And he could [let] his wife run the country."
That remark caused such a furor in some quarters that Graham's evangelist son Franklin had to explain that it was meant as a joke.
But Graham had praised and defended both Clintons before. And in a new interview, Hillary

If Rev. Bill used my bathroom-- I'd have to get a new bathroom...
It was an October suprise and it wasn't a "buried" citation, not like the hidden Clinton documents. That October surprise certainly cost GWBush some votes. If that amounted to as little as 0.51% of the voters then it cost him the popular vote that Al Gore Junior loves to brag about.
What IS that, a hairdo, or an animal nest?
Cordially,
Of course he would have to love the sinner but hate the sin. I think however it is very dangerous to join at the hip with such powerful people that can do so much harm to the moral climate of this country. Maybe being in the limelight colors one’s vision and causes one not to want to fall out of favor with the powerful.
I think that sometimes very saintly people are so good that they can be deceived by the extremely polished and wicked among us. When you are good, you do not think ill of anyone. Reverend Graham has been deceived by these professional liars as many another good person has been. It doesn’t mean that the Devil was in him, just that he is old, gentle, and perhaps easier to fool now.
Clinton does have “gifts”. But he chose to use them for himself.
Well, there’s a certain truth in it.
Bill clinton was gifted with extraordinary abilities as a speaker, communicator, and persuader. All he lacks, apparently, to be a gifted evangelist is the Spirit.
Flannery O’Connor would have said that he would be absolutely perfect preaching from the pulpit of the Church of Christ Without Christ.
"Dear Lord, please help Hillary find those tweezers for her eyebrows. Amen".
“All he lacks, apparently, to be a gifted evangelist is the Spirit.”
Does being an evangelist require character? If so, then he also lacks that.
I think you may be right.
My sister is a habitual liar. When she hears something she assumes it is a lie.
I don’t lie. I assume that the things I hear are the truth. Those of us who try to live a good life have a hard time imagining that someone is not good at heart.
The truth about these hucksters is difficult to face until they’re indicted!
Well it is all well and good I suppose to love and respect, but this preacher does NOT know his Bible. There is nothing about OLD Bill Clinton that makes him a representative of giving Bible instructions. And further the anointing of Hillry Clinton as the first woman after already serving 8 years as co-president without ever taking responsibility for one act she made happen, demonstrates this preacher, well I let whom ever fill in the blank, but the preacher did not get the instruction from the Bible or from the Heavenly Father.
That was a good one.
His followers LOVED old bjclinton and they have been given marching orders to elect his in-name-only wife.
Billy: "Dear Lord..."
Hellery: "I'll just pretend I believe in God..."
Bubba: "I wrote down Monica's phone number somewh...oh, there it is."
