Bill Clinton Pours On the Estrogen
New York Times ^ | 26 Jul 16 | Maureen Dowd

His life took off, he said, when he fell in love with “that girl.”

He told a familiar love story, recounted in his memoir, about springtime at Yale Law School in 1971 and a “magnetic” girl with thick blond hair and big glasses and no makeup and a long, white flowery skirt.

He said when he first saw her in a political and civil rights class that he wanted to tap her on the shoulder but he knew if he did, he would be starting something beyond his control.

With a sky-blue tie and silvery hair and an easy smile, the 69-year-old looked healthier than he has on the trail. And he was sharp.

The Big Dog basked in the unique historic moment: a former president and a husband and a wannabe first lad making the case for a former first lady, a wife and a wannabe first woman president.

In an act of amazing self-restraint, the man who relishes the word “I” managed to make the talk, as he prefers to call his folksy speeches, all about her. He was positively uxorious.

How much would you pay to have listened in on all of the negotiations between Hillary and Bill after any/all the affairs came to light. Hillary stayed for one reason, and one reason only, and it just paid off. If I were a woman, I would hardly hold her up as someone to admire. She sold her respect for a power grab. I just hope the American voter gets some intelligence between now and election day.

My pleasure. Nobody else seems to be following the rules, though.

He looked like a wax museum figure and his hands shook the whole time

If Hillary gets in, she shouldn’t hire any interns.
