And Bill Clinton told an Iowa crowd that when they were first dating, he advised Hillary to dump him. I wonder if Ron Burkle gave the same advice to Bill. And a reminder to all readers: our Bush Years posters are selling like Lawrence O'Donnell dolls at a Salt Lake City voodoo shop, so order yours today. They make great political stocking stuffers.
