yeah,
right.

and Terry McAuliff is soooooo RRRELEVANT!!!
lol

That little weasel will say anything to anyone depending on the bottom line. Period. I don't know why anyone even listens to him. He's the Democratic Bill Kristol.

Well we're all waiting for President Clinton to put all the rumors and innuendos circulating around to rest.
Here's to hoping that with Bill on the campaign trail, the skeptical blue collar voters can be reassured (to the extent possible).

If there is true why Bill Clinton come out and say himself!

[Marlyn]

Terry McAuliffe will say anything.

[Felicty]

Yeah -

I read this story last Friday. Barack doesn't need Bill, if this is the case.

Have a dance off!

The Democratic Party should hold an event and form two lines, and allow Sen.Obama and Bill to dance their way through the line.

You know like Soul Train!

Well, it took WJC an awful long time to respond to this story.

Probably because he was out of the country meeting with Nelson Mandela. Ex-Presidents do have a life beyond the White House.

WJC is yesterday. HRC is today. She should replace Reid as Majority Leader in '09. BHO is the future. WJC's snits are tiresome & old; Slick Willy is into the irritability of impotence since he can't be accused of being possesed by the arrogance of power; he's no longer POTUS. The lot of a former POTUS isn't in the lime light. Slick Willy is trying to get back to center stage. It ain't gonna happen, Willy.

Cindy, Bill was partying, which is cool, but let's not make excuses for him. He's overplaying his position. Having a former President campaign for you is an incredible honor, but not necessary.

Or possibly Nursultan A. Nazarbayev. Some ex-presidents have a life beyond the bounds of American foreign policy.
