Bill Clinton: Wife's record not covered

By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago

Bill Clinton said Tuesday that if reporters covered the candidates' public records better, his wife's presidential bid would be far ahead of her rivals.

During a campaign stop on behalf of his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president said he can't understand why so much of the media coverage of the campaign ignores her experience — and, without naming him, the relative lack of experience of her closest Democratic rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

"One percent of the press coverage was devoted to their record in public life. No wonder people think experience is irrelevant. A lot of the people covering the race think it is (irrelevant)," Clinton said to students at Keene State College.

Clinton referenced a study from the Project for Excellence in Journalism that indicated much of the coverage of the race is dominated by daily horse race reporting rather than about policy issues.

"Sixty-seven percent of the coverage is pure politics. That stuff has a half life of about 15 seconds. It won't matter tomorrow. It is very vulnerable to being slanted and rude. And it won't affect your life," Clinton said.

Clinton also said his wife's bipartisan work in the Senate proves she can accomplish her campaign's message of change, and that records matter more than rhetoric. He said that when voters look at records and accomplishments, they will see clear choices between the New York senator and her rivals.

"I would pick her and be here if we weren't married," Clinton said.

If this guy drove by my house in an open motorcade, I wouldn’t leave the couch for a look.

Her experience is being ignored because she doesn't have any.

Senator Clinton constantly speaks of her 35 years of experience yet can't provide any specifics. Therefore, any other candidate of her age or older should be able to claim 35 years of experience also and get away with not providing specifics.

>>>Experience in what? <<<

Bill's just to modest to mention it:

1) Lamp throwing
2) Supressing bimbo eruptions
3) Conceiling more files (FBI and billing records) than
Sandy Berger ever thought of.
4) Developing Health Care Plans that the people love
5) Insulting Military staff in the White House

The list is by no means complete

“Well, she’s experienced decorating the white house Christmas tree with voodoo trinkets she picked up in Haiti while at the dictator’s (The Dictator that Billy boy propped up and replaced Haiti’s legitimate government with) baby roast he put on in their honor.”

What was she trying to say with those Christmas decorations of tiny little bent phallic symbols?

Actually for all the claims of the Bent One being an asset; he’s actually contributing to the other candidates.

Hmm, subconscious desire perhaps.

I honestly believe that is PRECISELY it. He absolutely does not want her to get elected. He wants to be free to chase skirts, make money and be as far away from that witch as possible, which will be impossible if he’s under the microscope back in the White House - not to mention no moneeee for speeches, etc.

He’s only got to put up as long as she’s in the race - hence, get her numbers lowered as soon as possible. That latest “experience” remark is a dead giveaway - everybody KNOWS she has no experience - the fact that she was in the White House while Bill was President doesn’t make her any more qualified for the job than if my cousin’s wife walked into the medical examiner’s office and advised she was ready to start an autopsy because she’d married him in medical school.

No kidding - if she’s so good, why didn’t she see that dot.com bust coming in the first quarter of 2000??

"I would pick her and be here if we weren't married," Clinton said.

If they weren't married, she never would have been elected senator of New York, and there not even be a remote possibility of her running for President.

This coming from a guy who said he would date an 800 year old mummy.

Yes what a bunch of bull$hi-. No one could possibly give her a second chance if you look at her 7 years in the senate. Hillary has absolutely done nothing, not any legislation of any significance and most of the time just marking time. As far as NY is concerned and I’m an upstater, her record of helping us is a big fat ZERO. Good old Bill as usual is so full of $hi- that his eyes turn brown. Amen.

Reason # 1,243 not to vote for Hillary!:

She can’t even fight her own battles.

Bill Clinton: Wife's Record Not Covered

I agree.

Let's encourage the Lame Stream Media to tell the world what a power hungry, lying, maniacal, homosexual, immoral, angry, evil woman that she is.

There are so many examples of what I stated above that it could fill 20 books.

Come to think of it - it has.

The MSM just don't care - because they support her atheist Marxist philosophy.

The only record she deserves is the one you get when sent to jail.

>Bill has seen the polls and is worried he..oops she wont get elected.

>So far Bill has been a albatross on her campaign. Reminds everyone how deceitful they are.

I remain convinced he doesn’t want her to win. If he wins, he goes into the history books as the first first gentleman. If she loses, he stays as president.
