Clinton Campaign Advisers: Bill "Needs To Stop"

CNN's Political Ticker:

Democratic sources supportive of and regularly in touch with the Clinton campaign describe what one calls "a huge wave" of sentiment that Bill Clinton "needs to stop."

The sources -- who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject -- act as either unpaid advisers or surrogates for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Interviewed separately, they agreed that the former president's recent headline-generating statements "hurt more than helped" his wife's South Carolina campaign.

They kept saying Bill was an asset. But he's really proven himself to be a jackasset. Seriously, the man hasn't touched Hillary since Chelsea was conceived, and NOW he decides to fuck her?

HuffPost is joke...it is so biased that it has no credibility left. It used the ugliest photograph it could find to create its imaginary headlines. I think its anti-Hillary crusade is reaching the level of insanity for its staff.

now let me see Obama is like JFK who had multiple liaisions while POTUS. teddy boy
left a gal to drown in a car & Patrick was found w/a gun in his car. Give me a break. At least RFK's children are backing Hillary re: LA Times.That should give all something to think about.

No doubt, the Clintons were personally hurt by the Kennedy endorsements given to Senator Obama and
embarrassed by the public chastising by Senator Kennedy regarding their words and behavior.

What happened yesterday was a good thing for Senator Obama but also a good thing for the Democratic Party.

Basically both of the leading candidates were put on notice to get back to honest campaign issues and to
stop the childish mean spirited word fights.

One of these two candidates will be our next President.

Both are highly qualified.

If Hillary wins the nomination, Obama, after yesterday's
Kennedy blessing, will become the Vice President.

Hillary will not have a choice. She will have to have Senator Obama as VP and it will be good for the Party and the country. It will happen and be the right thing.

DEMS WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER!

Let me get this straight. ALLLLLL the other candidates spouses can support, defend and speak for their spouses, but he cannot. Ohhh but I forgot, the Clintons are the Dark Side of evil. ( Call me crazy but I could have sworn that was the Republican­s).....and yes, sarcasm was intended. yoiu Obama fans are ridiculous with your vitriol.

Why is it acceptable for people to speak for Obama but not for Hilllary? Honestly I don't understand what makes one acceptable and the other not. Further when I actually listen to what the media portrays as President Clinton's "stinging" criticisms, it all seem rather level headed, well considered, and on point? What is the problem? It sounds to me like the equivalent of telling President Clinton that he is being too mean to the new kid, or that it is unfair because President Clinton gets so much attention. If so, so what? What gives here?

Hey Bill! Here's a couple of bucks!

Go buy an ice cream, we've heard it all before!

Even the dogs in the street are yawning!

Bill always was a master at whoring himself out for a campaign donation. Just look at his last minute pardons in late 2000.

He has only been bested by Bush, who turned political prostitution into the only subject he's ever mastered. Just watch on New Year's Eve whom he pardons.

[OtayPanky]

Yes indeed.

Bill needs to stop.

And Hill needs to stop, too.

Like the Glenn Close character in DANGEROUS LIAISONS, they've been exposed for the dark-hearted narcissists they truly are.

We don't want that in the White House yet again.

They both need to stop.

Exactly does Bill need to stop doing? Stop the media, blogs, and rightwing from selecting a Democratic candidate who can not win the general?

The truth trickles out on Jesse Jackson comments:

I think people need to stop acting like sheep and stop believing all the lies that have been touted against the Clintons, that is if you want a Democrat in the White House next year.

[mrJJ]

Wait... If Bill stops speaking then Billary looses her "found voice". Whats wrong with you people? Don't you understand the all about me candidates have to regain the White House for a 3rd term!!!!!

My dad used to have a saying.

If one person told you you were doing something wrong, that was just their opinion.

When it was two people, that was likely just a friend of the first.

But when every - single - person - you start to run across, from your enemies to your friends, start to say "Dude, you're doing something wrong and stupid - knock it off", then *you* are probably the one with the problem.

Hopefully Bill got it.
