Bill's Defense Of Hillary: 'It's A Southern Thing, Not A Gender Thing'

New York Times:

It's a Southern thing, not a gender thing.

That was the explanation from Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign for a new remark by former President Bill Clinton, who had this to say yesterday about his wife's (all-male) presidential rivals: "Those boys have been getting tough on her lately."

Southern thing? Bill's concern about how the "men" are treating Hillary is total hypocrisy, coming from a serial adulterer. Hillary doesn't like anything she can't script & control. We already have a president that can only handle speaking events if totally scripted & look where we're at.

Here's questions for the next debate:
1) What happened to the release of her records from when she was First Lady? What is she hiding?
2) I read on a credible web site that many of the big donors to her campaign are the same REPUBLICANS that gave big donations to Bush. Why are rich Bush Republicans backing Hil??
3) I read on Huffington's site that Bill had a recent meeting with one of the biggest anti-Clinton critics from his former presidency, Richard Mellon Scaife. Why were the 2 of them meeting? It was supposedly about charity, but was it really more to do about the fact that Mellon Financial is one of the top 10 financial companies drowning (subprime loans = more than 3 times their assets) in the subprime loan mess? Is he looking for a pre or post election bailout or payoff??
4) Mark Penn, Burson-Marsteller's top executive, is chief strategist for the Hillary Clinton campaign. A article in The Nation explained how Penn uses bogus polling and other dirty tricks to manipulate pubic opinion and "sell" candidates & ideas. They claim he is the man behind the PR campaign that created a false illusion, as far back as January, that Clinton was the "front runner" and had broad support with the public. Why is Hillary using an executive from this PR firm? A firm that has represented an Argentine military junta, Union Carbide after the 1984 Bhopal disaster in India(thousands were killed when toxic fumes were released), Royal Dutch Shell, which has been accused of massive human rights violations in Nigeria? A firm close to the White House & Karl Rove?

Hillary's campaign contributions, voting record & investments say everything about her candidacy. She is a champion of the rich, corporate Republicans (and Democrats). You want change? Find a real candidate.

Sorry Bill, but with you it's not a Southern thing, it's a Bullshit thing.

Where was the Southern thing and manly defense of the wife when he was not having sex with Lewinsky and others?

Bill wants back in the White House in the worst way - even if that means rising to the defense of the Harpy.

If our Former President does not stop talking...­.and I emailed the Campaign about this, he is going to ruin it for her. The Media in this country will do the rest of the damage.

The Clinton spin machine is now in full on crap mode. It seems that a Clinton is incapable of telling the truth. Fortunately there is a democrat in the race that is not a pathological liar. Vote for Dennis.

So if Hillary gets elected, how will she Bill on the reservation? Can't have him wandering the halls, poking secretaries, or flying out to Colorado to give Sharon Stone the high hard one? Maybe Hillary will make him wear a big gold chastity belt emblazoned with the presidential seal, and the key will be kept in the box with the nuclear codes. Or maybe she'll appoint him Governor of Iraq. He'll wander around in the desert surrounded by women wearing black who can't get laid.

Bill is not chivalrous, he just likes Hillary's big butt.

Is there such thing as a dependant feminist? Lets not act like everything Bill says isn't scripted by team pant suit. Seems everything they do is scripted these days. They aren't going to throw out the Bush way of doing press conferences, they are going to perfect it!

Chivalry is not dead.

Southern guy puts pecker in mouth of young girl. Commits perjury and obstructs justice when asked about it. Embarrasses wife. She can't divorce him, though, since she needs to ride his coattails a bit more. She stumbles while riding said coattails. He gallantly helps her up. She continues on while he looks for new young mouth. End of story.

Hysterical. Priceless. Clinton.

The Clintons to libs are like that water to the frog. It keeps slowly getting warmer and warmer until it boils away their lib values ala Kucinich. All the while the libs are croaking their praises to the Clintons.

It appears that liberals are not that different from Anne Coulter!

[VogonsCryptolect]

The Clintons are just bad for America.

[FirstBlowupDollLaura]

Leave Bill alone for speaking up for his wife. She doesn't need the support, she can hold her own, but what kind of a husband or wife would NOT do this?

People are picking this apart because she is a woman. Not fair.

Kucinich '08 - and hope he picks Edwards for VP

[midwestvoter]

Support a Right Wing talk show host and "author", keep the Clinton hating going for another 8 years! Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh thank you. Americans desperately wanting to get to solutions, not so much.

[rh654]

A Southern thing? Now Bill is a very bright guy - certainly he knows that his "little woman" isn't running for President of the Confederacy and that that there states to the North and to the West of the "South".

[VogonsCryptolect]

Face it boys and girls anyone with half a brain knows the facts.

The Clintons are just bad for America.
