Hillary Clinton orders Bill to keep quiet after remarks on Bosnia 'sniper fire'
NY Daily News ^ | April 12th 2008 | KENNETH R. BAZINET

The Big Dog has managed to land himself in an even bigger doghouse.

Hillary Clinton ordered her husband Friday to keep his mouth shut and stop making excuses, which compounded her false claim that she landed "under sniper fire" on a goodwill trip to Bosnia as First Lady.

"Hillary called me and said, 'You don't remember this, you weren't there. Let me handle it.' And I said, 'Yes, ma'am,' " a sheepish Bill Clinton told reporters outside a campaign office in Terre Haute, Ind., hours after it was destroyed by fire.

During remarks Thursday night, Bubba revived the all-but-dead tall tale of Hillary's travel to Tuzla - a whopper his wife repeatedly told on the campaign trail before a video forced her to admit the mistake.

"He doesn't know when to shut up," a Clinton administration veteran groaned.

I don’t think this was staged, either. Why would Hill want to risk bringing something up that was cycling out of the news by having Bill bring it up again?

Her campaign has been such a comedy of errors. I cannot wait until someone writes a book on the behind-the-scenes. I’ll be the first in line to snap it up.

You don't remember this, you weren't there.

Hillary was there and apparently doesn't remember what happened. Way to go Bill. Since you can't tell the truth at least say something interesting.

Of course he is tying to sabotage her. He is afraid that if she actually were POTUS she would go down in history as the better Clinton President.

"Much of what he does baffles me. Sometimes I can't tell if he is trying to sabotage the campaign or is just off the range. I thought they had him on a short leash, but I guess not," said author and former Clinton White House aide Keith Boykin.

Bubba is dying to get into WH again, he is not sabotaging Hildebeast champaign, poor Bubba just doesn't have any brains left - coke, syphilis, and else. Bubba never released his health records.

LANDING ON A JET PLANE
Tune: "Leaving on a Jet Plane" Original

All the odds are stacked, I'm ready to run
I'm standin' here, holdin' my gun
I hate to call you up to say goodbye
But the battle's ragin', I hear the sounds
The tank is waitin', he's shootin' some rounds
I know there's so much danger I could die

So send me to Bosnia
Tell me they'll be bombin' us
Sniper fire will never get me down
I'm landin' on a jet plane
I don't know if I'll be back again
Oh, Bill, we're on the ground

There's so many shots, it takes my breath
So many times I've cheated death
I tell you now, we just lost a wing
Every combat zone, I pay my dues
Every mission flown is stuff I'll use
Some day I'll throw my pantsuit in the ring

So send me to Bosnia
Tell me they'll be bombin' us
Sniper fire will never get me down
I'm landin' on a jet plane
I don't know if I'll be back again
Oh, Bill, we're on the ground

Now the time has come for battle
My future's not as bright as cattle
I'll close my eyes, while the cannons boom
I'll dream about the campaign trail
When I can tell my wartime tale
About the time I faced death and doom

So send me to Bosnia
Tell me they'll be bombin' us
Sniper fire will never get me down
I'm landin' on a jet plane
I don't know if I'll be back again
Oh, Bill, we're on the ground

Have to wonder if it is because he knows Hillary, as good awful as she would be would still be a better President them him,

or if he realizes Hillary in the WH means he will go down in History as the 1st “First Husband”

or if he realizes he will have to give up his screwing around and money making scams and actually live with Hilly again for 4-8 years.
