NEW YORK - Bill Clinton said Monday he understands why Sarah Palin is popular in the heartland.
"I come from Arkansas, I get why she's hot out there," Clinton said. "Why she's doing well."
Speaking to reporters before his Clinton Global Initiative meeting, the former president described Palin's appeal by adding, "People look at her, and they say, 'All those kids. Something that happens in everybody's family. I'm glad she loves her daughter and she's not ashamed of her. Glad that girl's going around with her boyfriend. Glad they're going to get married."'
Clinton said voters would think, "I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They're wonderful children. They're wonderful people. And I like the idea that this guy does those long-distance races. Stayed in the race for 500 miles with a broken arm. My kind of guy."

You cannot make this stuff up.
This is Scrappleface, right?
Lol. This guy cracks me up.
“I get why she’s hot out there.”
And few things are hotter than a drop-dead gorgeous, intelligent, powerful woman you will never, ever get to have, Billy.
Wow! Bill - what a guy. Words escape me.
BJ Billy always did have sound political instincts. The key is sincerity. If you can fake that you’ve got it made.
What did Al Gore say? Did he say “Keep IT away from me”?
He wants Obama to lose so Hillary can run in 2012 thats all
Geez Bill, STFU. Well, OTOH, at least he didn't say that he thought she looked REAL good in those high heels...
The Slickster likes the Palins. They are a lovely, close-knit family. I hope they can recover from this.
Is this for real?
“There are two things I like in life: little Down syndrome kids and four-thousand year old mummies. Hell, if Palin would get herself a mummy, I’d vote for her.”
It’s kinda sweet and creepy.
I really though The Sink Emperor would be more subtle in his campaigning for McCain/Palin.
Clinton said voters would think, “I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They’re wonderful children. They’re wonderful people.
True.
He’s gonna vote for her.
Bill is driving the knife deep into Barry’s back! I love it!
Twilight Zone time.
