From ABC News’ Political Radar:
Appearing on Good Morning America Thursday, Clinton told ABC News’ Chris Cuomo that McCain’s push to postpone the debate would only be a good political move if both candidates agreed. McCain announced on Wednesday that he would “suspend” his presidential campaign to come to Washington to help negotiate a financial bailout bill […]
“We know he didn’t do it because he’s afraid because Sen. McCain wanted more debates,” Clinton said, adding that he was “encouraged” by the joint statement from McCain and Sen. Barack Obama.
“You can put it off a few days the problem is it’s hard to reschedule those things,” Clinton said, “I presume he did that in good faith since I know he wanted — I remember he asked for more debates to go all around the country and so I don’t think we ought to overly parse that.”
If the debate moves forward as planned for Friday night, Clinton says “they should be able to talk about this some of the debate because it is a security issue.”
The former president thought Bush’s address Wednesday night on the economic crisis had a “positive reaction”.
“I thought it was the clearest statement of why we’re in the fix we’re in, at least what the nature of it is and why some national action is needed,” Clinton said.
He said that both Democrats and Republicans “should move as quickly as they can” on the president’s economic rescue plan but that both parties “want to know exactly how this $700 billion is going to be invested..to stabilize the system.”
President Bush’s bipartisan meeting on the economic crisis will take place at 4pm at the White House, both Obama and McCain will be in attendance.

Predictably, those who backed this guy’s “right” to stuff his penis in the mouth of an intern as a matter of “privacy” that they would never normally grant — including a host of self-styled “feminists” who sold out their principles for partisan power grabbing — are outraged that their loyalty has been betrayed.
This, evidently, is not the Bill Clinton they knew…
The “penis in the mouth” crap was private. Lying about it under oath was not.
But we see how the argument was re-framed over the years…
Bill Clinton: Will respect Jewish holidays, then ‘hustle up … cracker vote’ in Florida
The Bill Clinton we’re seeing these days is a bit different from the one I’m used to, but of course much different than the one the progs thought they knew. It appears to be more about getting media attention than anything else, and appearing to be neutral makes him look “statesmanlike.” One wonders if the media will keep going to him after the election is over, no matter what direction it takes, but since he is more likely to get attention with a McCain win, he would probably prefer that.
Thump…. Thump.
“Statesmanlike” is the word. Billy J needs himself a legacy, his terms are being overshadowed by events and he is rapidly diminishing in stature. He’s pinning his hopes on playing the ‘elder statesman’ role over these interesting times.
Well, by some metrics, sure. But not by the metric of establishment feminism, given that there was a power relationship at play here that left poor Monica vulnerable and unable to decide who she’d like to suck off without feeling that, unconsciously, she was being compelled to.
Penises are like that. Always dangerously close to harassing women by their very nature.
The “penis in the mouth†crap was private.
Fuck that. It was done in the main office of a house I own, the tenant of which gets free room and board and is answerable to me for his behavior.
Well, I screwed that up.
Sorry, I am “Barry,” “Barry: is me.
Did anybody really believe that Bill and Hillary were going to lift a finger for Obama? I mean, anybody who’d been half-awake during the 1990s should have bloody well known better. Sure, the Clintons made a halfway decent show of it for a while, but their hearts weren’t in it, and intelligent people knew that. Intelligent people predicted it.
Leopards. Spots. Learn it, live it, love it, people!
And the word of the day is “sockpuppet.” Let’s use it in a conversation.
“Is that your sockpuppet?”
“Yes, that sockpuppet belongs to me.”
Bill Clinton is to the Obama campaign was a thumbtack-lined ceiling is to a balloon release.
O! should have written Billy Jeff the check for Hillz campaign debt when he had the opportunity…
You see, now that Bill doesn’t need the cover anymore, it doesn’t matter how much the establishment feminists bent over backwards, ahem, to prypo it up…
here
ROVE !
Billy Jeff didn’t like being called a RAAAAAACIST !
After all, he was the first black President…
I noticed these choice Clintonian words to Larry King of CNN:
I live in the very center of Cracker country, a place where the natives with a few generations behind them are proud to be called Crackers and quick to offer their etymological interpretations of the term. Personally, I buy the “cattle drovers with bullwhips” version, but I don’t think the Crackers are going to go for Obama in any big way, which may mean that Bill is merely indicating he’s planning on wasting his time spent on behalf of B. Obama.
I hear “Call me a race-baiter Sucker and see what it gets you.”
That actually sounds like one of the Bill Clintons I know. From time to time he can still surprise me by giving a lucid explanation and answer to a political question, one that you find yourself having to agree with. When Bill does that it is easy to understand why he got elected and re-elected. He is a good communicator, and he has instinctive political understanding.
If you could keep him focused, he would be a great political chief of staff.
With a name like Schmucker’s, you know it’s got to be good! Blowjobs for all my friends!
If you could keep him focused, he would be a great political chief of staff.
The problem would come from him sticking his staff into things.
Them heavy cotton bales didn’t used to get to to Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans by themselves. They was driven on wagons pulled by large teams of mules. A cracking whip was used to control and encourage the mule team. Many bales of cotton meant lots of wagons, several mules, and some few “Crackers”, which resembled a southbound mule-train. Different days, Bubba.
[…] Jeff has a better take on this. As I’m posting at 7 PM or so, I think, according to this site, I might as well admit I […]
Is that your sockpuppet?â€Â
I’ve seen other Barrys here, so he’s not always mine. Mine usually has a southern drawl and talks about pigs. Jeff knows.

He had amazing potential, and totally blew it. Or let it be blown, whatever.
Billy Jeff is just a good ole boy at heart. Of course, there’s not much heart there.
Bill ♥ Bill
I supported Bill in 96. Then left the country for a few years. Seemed like a good time.
Why do you neo-theocon RethugliKKKan racists have such a problem with a blow job?
NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER!
““Is that your sockpuppet?â€Â
“Yes, that sockpuppet belongs to me.â€Â
And ME!
And me….
AND me!
and ….ooooo, shiny spoon…..

So it was your fault.
I think that the Clintons are looking at a possibility of Hilary vs. Palin in 2012. It would be to Hilary’s advantage if Obama was to lose this election because a lot of Dems thought she was the stronger candidate this time. Bill and Hilary will go through the motions of supporting Obama but will not put any serious effort into it and may even try to sabotage his campaign if possible.

My main problem was it made this:

A femme fatale worth risking the most powerful job in the world.
It isn’t possible for W to damage our world image more than that little episode.
cause who knows where that thing has been.
Billy-Jeff Bentpecker couldn’t resist the fetching attractions of the plump little pepper-pot, Ms. Lewinski (then again, perhaps he really was just “ministering to the needs of a young intern” as the Hildebeast once claimed, but what of Paula, Juanita, Kathleen, Jennifer…in fact, Billy-Jeff, our first Sex-Offender-in-Chief, proved to Obama that picking ANY woman other than Hillary was the right move.
As to the left’s specious claims that is was “just about sex”, just try and imagine what would happen if GWB got caught using a 20-year old intern as a humidor in the Oval Office….hypocrisy, thy name is “liberal”.
Payback is a royal bitch.
Especially when you are married to one that wants to be President.
If someone had told me 2 years ago that I’d be defending John McCain and nodding approvingly to what Bill Clinton says in interviews. Worlds Collide!
You paid with your hide and my heart, Billy boy,
For your taste of pink and white honey.
I probably would have liked him for it. It shows that he’s human. Free will people, free will. If a woman sees a powerful man or vice versa, a man sees a powerful woman and he or she acts on it because they are turned on by power, then it’s their choice. The same with the person in power who decides to allow it or act upon an open invitation whether vocally or by body language. It is free will for both parties. Was it smart for the person in power, no because even if the world does not find out, the person not in power can black male the person in power. Once it came to light, however, Billy should have not lied. I would said ” Hey I just finished revising a NAFTA agreement, just met with some Bosnian leaders, and just figured out a way to give this country a surplus, I was definitely spent, the wife was a way and she just wanted to be a helpful citizen and thank me for being such a great president. I wish we had more good citizens like her, the world would be a more caring and loving place.”
Sorry that previous post was a response to:
proudvastrightwingconspirator’s post
Bill is adroit. This whole deal though is on the far side of whatever. Debates are superfluous when you got a socialist on the one hand and a for real American on the other hand I think. Throw in an economic crisis and the whole idea of debating a socialist about it? You are so pulling my dick.

Sometimes I wonder who got offered that cigar.
“Damned with faint praise” ring a bell?
Bwahahahahaha! Clinton is the titular head of the Donkey party!
Politics, bedfellows, etc.
And I just threw up in my mouth a little from using the word “bedfellow” in conjunction with Bill Clinton.
Sometimes Clinton shows the kind of remarkable political qualities that made me vote for him when he ran the first time–and then I remember how deeply flawed and amoral he is, and I get sick. Like rare vase with an obvious crack in it.
You paid with your hide and my heart, Billy boy,
For your taste of pink and white honey.
I feel your pain, O Gwendolyn girl.
What’s left of your heart knows it’s true.
Though my hide has been flayed, my legacy, too,
I still burn for that sweet honeydew.

Bill Clinton is a deeply flawed human being, but in this field he is an expert. And when he speaks, objectively, in his field of expertise he should be given a measure of deference. The s.o.b. knows of what he speaks.
Horatio Nelson was another flawed human, but as a tactician with sailing battleships he was an expert.
Gah. I hope Bill isn’t trying to help McCain like he helped Hillary. Or any other Democrat he’s endorsed since being Prez.
[…] Jeff has the link(s). […]
#50 TSI:
What is astonishing that anyone could use the word ‘fear’ in the same sentence as ‘John McCain’ without placing the word ‘no’ in front of ‘fear’.
What fear would he have now? Really, what fear could be left in him at this point?
Mikey,
That’s so right. Certainly no fear of Obama in a debate.
Metric?
Not that I’d wanna know, but I’m sure Monica could come up with a pretty good guess.
Hillary? She’d cut that number in half
Was probably the first time I’ve ever cheered on William Jefferson CLinton.
Personally, I think a. they know Obama is grossly unqualified and dangerous
b. Hillary wants a shot at the title in 2012 and she doesn’t want to run against a black incumbent.
Also, I’m sticking by my prediction – McCain by at least 4% if not more …
Billy Jeff is looking forward to becoming the First Husband in 2012. Can’t really do that if Barry wins in 2008.
To be fair to Clenis, he actually said the right things, regardless of his reasons.
Salt Lick, all the way back at #7:
“Fuck that. It was done in the main office of a house I own, the tenant of which gets free room and board and is answerable to me for his behavior.”
Me too.
You know, if Al Gore had said that, none of us would be having this conversation.
I’d buy the “It’s a private matter” except that Billy Jeff signed the law making it a Federal offense…
Some good did come of it. We found out that the Republicans in the Senate were eunuchs. Still don’t know where the testicles are, come to think of it…
Clinton’s behavior would be some much easier to understand if this was a low budget horror movie. O! is tied to a post, and ol’ Bill; well, ol’ Bill has himself a banquet table chuck full of sharp and poky things, and from now until November 4 whenever Bill sees a microphone or a camera, he’s going to pick up a random instrument and stick it in O! just to watch him squirm.
I heard an excerpt of the King interview. I guess it might be a southern thing, but thirty seconds of Clinton’s words and delivery were enough to tell me he’s got zero respect for Obama, and is actually kind of savoring the fact that Obama will never, ever call him to task for anything he says.
Bill actually is closer to being the first black prez than O! is, or ever will be. He knows it. And further, he’s probably already told O! that, too. There’s a hugeous vacuum of moral courage in Bill Clinton, but make the fight political… hell, I wouldn’t bet against him. Nossir.
I’m interested to see how far Clinton’s going to push. It could get bloody.
– Watch for all the screaming after O! gets his semi Black ass kicked. “Its the Brady effect….every one who didn’t vote for me is a racist. The 97% of the blacks who did were just following their political choice.”
– BTW. Bubba’s actions for the past couple of months since the Obama people, in cahoots with the far Left and the DNC, fanagled the primaries at His wifes expense, is quiet;y ripping Obama a new ass.
I’ve said previously that if Hillary Clinton were one heartbeat away from the Presidency, I wouldn’t want that heartbeat to be mine.
I was thinking that it applied only after the election.
It seems I underestimated the situation. There was a moment in time when a single heartbeat separated Hillary from being President. That line has been crossed.
It appears that said heart will now be removed by way of a new asshole, and unceremoniously tossed under the bus.
Bill seems to be giving the DLC types all the reasons they need to vote McCain.
