Here is Bill Clinton justifying identity politics. He makes sexism and racism sound so acceptable doesn’t he? This is classic Clinton.

I think he's saying we're more openly sexist than racist? Probably true, really.

On Republicans being blamed for a Democrat mess? I agree.

What if McCain offers Clinton a cabinet post?

Sec of State?

I REALLY hate to say this (ugh!), but ‘ol Bill is looking fit and trim. And all things aside, Clinton is a VERY smart man–like it or not.

Few ever questioned his intellect or instincts…and he may become a better politician out of office then in.

Go to YouTube and see the whole interview. I found it really interesting.
He could not bring himself to criticize McCain, he called him honorable, and even acknowledged that McCain supported him in opening ties with VietNam, something Clinton said was amazing considering what McCain had been through.
This is what you get when you decide not to personally attack a competitor. McCain never went personally at Hillary, he always took the high ground with her, because they are (he felt) in the end working for the same thing.
Obama has taken it to a whole level with the Palin thing, I don’t think McCain feels the same “honor” with Obama.

Don’t even begin to guess why Bill said what he did. But it’s a truthful statement for all that.

grits – so what you are saying is Clinton is the Lex Luthor of American politics. Hey, sometimes Luthor had to make some strategic adjustments to say his own bacon too.

Why didn’t they just start stroking his c*ck right there?

Please, Allah have mercy… take down that still frame. It looks like Joy just came up for a breath before going back to work…

Why didn’t they just start stroking his c*ck right there? We all know they wanted to, they could barely contain themselves.

Except Elizabeth of course.

I think this is the money quote, “You can’t tell someone else that the ground on which they make their voting decision is irrational.”

NO! Don’t question the person’s choice! Choice reigns supreme, regardless whether it’s in contradiction of another person’s decision or rationality. And we wonder why our narcissistic run country has problems.

Good grief, all the loud mouth rants are placed on hold as the wise one speaks, pathetic.

Whoo-pie aborted her child, what is this about being hungry and not feeding your kids? In the nineties, she was sitting pretty financially. My wife and I were struggling and managed to take care of two fantastic babies. That show spews nonsense.

The Clinton’s DO NOT want Obama to be elected – not by any stretch of the imagination – and so they talk around the edges with suggestions like Bill’s here – which is “hey it’s OK to vote for McCain because of Palin”

So subtle – as only he can manage.

Bill Clinton will be the guy that helps McCain win this election. Bill has done a hell of a lot for us in this appearance. He assured Hillary voters that it is OK to vote for Palin because she is a woman.
Boy did he shut those “ladies” up. He should go on the show more often, I can’t stand these women. Why do my fellow women subject themselves to watch this garbage?!
Bill is holding some kind of forum where both candidates will appear, yet McCain will be there in person while Obama is by satellite. What an ass Obama. GREAT for MCCAIN.
——-

Cat has a question.

McCain has been playing strategy while Obambi has been playing tactics. Palin vs. Biden, offense vs. defense, yadda yadda.

McCain seems to want to go down in history as the successor to Goldwater and Reagan – tough row to hoe given the current bailout-a-palooza, but maybe.

Question is this.

What if McCain offers Clinton a cabinet post?

Beyond the fact that he’d be peeing in the Republicans’ cereal bowl again (nothing new there…) and *maybe* be seen as “a uniter” (if the press are back on their meds) would this damage Hillary in 2012?

I was terrified at the thought of a Hillary presidency until I considered an Obama one. Obama is the reason I find myself agreeing with the Clintons these days (and showering more often).

Boy you can sure tell when Barbra doesn’t like what she’s hearing; She looked just like she did last week when McCain was talking- staring straight ahead, no eye contact, lips pursed. Compare that to when Obama was on- she was practically crawling into his lap!
