KINGSTREE, South Carolina: During a day marked by sparring with reporters, Bill Clinton fielded perhaps his toughest question from a 5-year-old.

"What do you do when you get married?" McKenna Chance asked the former president Wednesday.

Laughter erupted from the crowd of about 400 people gathered at a recreation center. Clinton paced the stage for several moments. Then he pointed to the back of the room at the media horde that has been following him as he campaigns around the state for his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"The best moment of my life, I think, was that I was in the hospital, in the room, with my wife when our daughter was born," Bill Clinton said.

Probably had to fight Web Hubbell at the hospital for a bedside spot.

It sure as hell wasn't when she was conceived.

“What do you do when you get married?”

Clinton: Ask someone who is married.

What Clinton almost blurted out: “Cheat on your wife.”

X-42, "You put up with the wife and later in life, you go out and chase interns around the governor's mansion in Arkansas and then chase more in the Oral Orifice."

The best things about being married, he said, are spending your life with your best friend and having children.

And we know how well Clinton treats his friends.

Many years ago when Fox News Sunday was edgier and more fun, they used to go into the commercial with an carefully chosen song clip based on the news. One of the funniest was when they chose "Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady" for XXX-42.

A better question for Bill, would have been “WHO do you do when you get married?”

How would Rudy answer a similar question? Or McCain? Face it, the only candidates on the trail that could be said to have normal, stable marriages are Romney, Obama, Hucklebee, Edwards, and Ron Paul.

Nevertheless... that little episode served to remind everybody just how big and stinky a lying POS Bill Clinton is.

Funny how this POS still manages to stay in the news. Will we ever be free from having to listen to his BS?

No probably not. We’re still having to listen to Jimmy after all.

Surprised that Klinton didn’t wag a scolding finger.

Drop Edwards out as apparently there may be a scandal there. Rumors of an affair a-brewing.

"See all the press people back there? They put me through the wringer this morning, and everything I said is about to pale in comparison to what I'm now going to say," Bill Clinton said.

But the remarks were rather innocuous. The best things about being married, he said, are spending your life with your best friend and having children

Ol' Bill probably did actually think that such 'innocuous' statements were indeed going to cause his earlier statements to pale by comparison.

Earlier Wednesday, during a heated exchange with a CNN reporter, Clinton said his wife's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama, and the media had stirred up tensions over race.

The difference being that the racial dust-up was a very real event, whereas his statements about marriage were more than likely fabricated to a very large degree, if not entirely. He's accustomed to his lies causing endless howls from everyone except the dinosaur media and his Leftist / Socialist pals, but in this case his lies were, from the perspective of most people, perfectly innocuous and unremarkable.
