For the first time in history, a former president has a good shot at getting back into the White House … as a spouse. And that's just one reason why Bill Clinton is one of Barbara Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People of 2007."
If his wife wins the 2008 presidential election, would the former president sit in on cabinet meetings?
"Only if asked," Clinton told Walters. "And I think it would only be wise if it were on a specific issue. I think it's better for me to give her my advice privately most of the time."
Clinton says he would weigh in if he disagreed with a decision his wife planned to made as president, "but when she made it, I'd do my best to support it," he said. "I'd keep my mouth shut."
"Mr. President, is your wife really smarter than you are?" Walters asked.
"About some things," said Clinton. "We have different kinds of intelligence. She has a great organizational intelligence, and we've always worked well together. … I said the other day -- we celebrated our 32nd anniversary -- I'd rather spend the night talking to her than anybody I can think of."
Clinton said that before Hillary decided to run for president, and if the laws were changed, he might have liked to run for a third term in the White House.
"I loved being president," he said. "I loved it. And I thought I was well-suited to the time."
The man some call the rock star of American politics hasn't lost his magic touch.

"Mr. President, do you think you've been a very good ex-president?" Walters asked.
"Oh, I don't know, but I've had a good time trying to be," said Clinton.

She’d kick him to the curb as soon as she got elected. I’m pretty sure she’s one of those wives with the “His money is our money, my money is mine” mindset.
Anything else I outsource.
Hmm, what about Grover Cleveland - 22nd & 24th President...
I want the Supreme Court to weigh in on this BEFORE Jan 21, 2009.
IOW: Some people you just don't want to be (sexually) intimate with... Hillary is one of them...??
ENOUGH, don’t you know that the Stalinst media is never wrong? You need a revised history textbook. That never happened. < /sarc >
On how many levels is there a grain of truth in this statement?
I would rather talk to her than ... her."
I can't think of anyone else at this moment but her and you, Babawawa."
"I celebrated our 32nd anniversary with another woman, and so did Hillary."
"I said the other day, while with another woman"
And probably hundreds of other well hidden partial truths.
only if the meetings were being held on Hillary’s face...
Forgot to mention—was on a flight the other day and guess who was sitting in front of me? Ol’ Serpenthead himself, James Carville.
If she gets the nomination, we’re going to hear a lot about their “Two-for-One Special.”
Of course, Slick prefers a “two on one...”
“Boy, there are some real howlers in this one”
Ha ha! I thought so too.
Bill's private advice: "No Hillary, grab Huma from behind, like THIS!"
I have no doubt that Bill wouldn't sit in on cabinet meetings. With Hillary guaranteed to be occupied, that would be top on XXX-42's "frisky time".
Giving him the option to go to a cabinet meeting would be like a giving a teenager the option of staying home or going with his parents to play cards with some older neighbors. Woohoo! A couple hours of no adult supervision.
Wow, somebody stabbed Helen with a flag and she didn’t even flinch.

I hope you’ve had your shots.
IIRC, Castro was her all time favorite.
Why would Hillary! even HAVE cabinet meetings? The Rapist had only one cabinet meeting in 1998, didn’t he?
More parsing...Has anyone attended a cabinet meeting who has not bee asked to come?
