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."

“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.

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”?

"I come from Arkansas, I get why she's hot out there," Clinton said.

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.

“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.”

I really though The Sink Emperor would be more subtle in his campaigning for McCain/Palin.

Bill Clinton demonstrating why he's known as a consummate politician. If the Dems, and their rabid fellow-travellers (MSM, Nut-roots, NOW, etc.) had taken this tack; they wouldn't have turned off so many women voters, independents, and other potential supporters.
