Bradlee Reveals Clinton Marriage Still a Sham

Former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee stunned Larry King Tuesday night when he revealed that Bill and Hillary Clinton continue to have a sham marriage.

Bradlee, as well as presidential historian Michael Beschloss, was interviewed by King immediately after King's CNN interview of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But Bradlee threw King for a loop when he revealed one of Washington's best known secrets: Bill and Hillary have still not reconciled since the Lewinsky affair.

Asked by King if Bill Clinton could become "First Man" if Hillary were to make it back to the White House, Bradlee responded, "I don't know. I don't know, the condition of the marriage, but it seems to me very difficult to pull this off. If they get back together again in any real way, I'd be stunned."

"If they get back together again" -- that's not what we heard on Barbara Walters this Sunday -- Hillary says she and Bill are suppose to be just one happy couple now.

King had a similar reaction to Bradlee's revelation: "You don't think they are a together couple?"

Bradlee stuck to his guns, answering King, "Well, I mean -- not by my definition."

Later in the interview Bradlee broached the subject of a possible Hillary-Bill divorce.

"Is there any possibility that -- do any of us feel that divorce is a possibility and she might try to run without him?" Bradlee asked King and Beschloss. Bradlee oversaw the Washington Post's coverage of Watergate and remains with his wife, society maven Sally Quinn, among the most well connected people in Washington.

If she had divorced him, after she was elected to the Senate, her popularity quotient would have risen.

[Keith in Iowa]

The Clinton's are "together" for 3 reasons:

1. Status
2. Money
3. Power

Neither of them would have much of the above on their own.

[SubMareener]

She can't divorce him. He knows too much about what she has done. There is no statute of limitations on murder.

[Destro]

Hillary CLinton should buy Chris Rock's CD and follow his advice as to what her corrective actions toward her husband Bill should be.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

They'll never get a divorce so long as spousal privelege is necessary to cover their crimes.

[whadizit]

Barf!! She does not even care if Bill has affairs as long as they remain private! She is not interested in anything with Bill except P-O-W-E-R!!!

[TigerLikesRooster]

Re #3

You nailed it. Their marriage is more like a business alliance than a real marriage.

[Momma Lou]

I always figured that the Clintons had an open marriage. He chased after girls and so did she. Their marriage was for convenience.

[b9]

What actions did Chris Rock recommend?
Probably too blue to post, huh!

[The Raven]

The whole point of this book deal is to get all Hillary all the time (the victim) - for a run at the 2004 slot. [I wouldn't doubt that this is all part of the original "plan" she and ol' Billy Boy drafted up years ago.

Perhaps we need some negative press to counter her plans? Trouble is - that just stirs up the Hillary talk even more. What's a concerned Freeper to do?

[Finalapproach29er]

Who is going to prosecute them? The Senate was too gutless to even call witnesses. Who would conceivably charge them?

[M. Peach]

You also didn't mention the fact that they are immune from having to testify against each other for any crimes...

[jrlc]

"Okay, Bradley," King should have asked, "then is it true as Washington rumored for years that HELLary is lesbian? Is that why the Clintoon Admin started with Gays in the Military and never got off the gay theme? Is that why HELLary didn't really care how many affairs BJ Bill had with women?" Let's really allow the Clintoons to reduce themselves to tabloid level, since HELLary has blasted the "stand by your man" trash in our face.

[IFly4Him]

Hellery's plan:

1) Use Bill to get to the White House
2) Divorce him after the Inauguration

[Just mythoughts]

The dirty little secret that Hillary has left out is who and what she really is and depending on how well the push to get "sodomy" as a civil right goes will depend on what path Hillary takes.

If this nation goes to the gutter totally and makes "sodomy" a civil right then Hillary will come out of her deep dark closet.

[mystery-ak]

These two(Clintons) would do anything to regain power and the Whitehouse...if they thought divorcing would do it for them, they would divorce.....The poor woman just couldn't take any more humiliation....another sympathy vote tactic.

[Trueblackman]

Two words on this ground breaking news: Well DUH!!!

I agree … the book, it’s high profile release, and Hillary’s softball interviews all point to her candidacy. And when anyone questions her sordid criminal past, she will cleverly respond: “I’ve already covered that in my book – it’s old news, and I’m looking forward.” She will get by without answering a single critical question!

[Miss Marple]

They will stay married, if for no other reason than her White House run. Part of the strategy is to convince the Clinton groupies that if they elect her, he will be there in the White House as well. That's why I think she is running this time...first her book comes out, sucking attention away from the other candidates and making the convention a big fight. She will get the nomination to "draw the party together."

Then HIS book comes out in 2004, during the campaign, so that he can go on all the talk shows and get free advertising for her campaign. The TV will consider him a separate person, so if W is interviewed she will also get to be on . W will have to fight BOTH of them to get re-elected.

I am hoping their scheme backfires.
