Hillary Clinton plot to keep Bill in the spotlight

Hillary is horrible at speaking extemporaneously. She can't handle town mmetings let alone reporters.

Bill is necessary to handle everyday contact, speaking for Mrs Toon but always being able to deny anything he says.

"He said it, not me. I am the candidate."

But The Sunday Telegraph has learned that his role was carefully plotted with Mrs Clinton in the days before her shock victory in the New Hampshire primary election, three weeks ago.

This is so laughable. "Shock victory?" The Clintons had double-digit leads in NH right up to the Iowa caucus. So it was a shock victory alright. That it was only 2 points instead of 20 in an all-white state.

It should be noted that this article was apparently written before Obama's "shock" victory in South Carolina by 31 percentage points. Nobody saw that coming, not even the Clinton bum-kissers at the Telegraph.

Bill's the gift that keeps on giving. Having the flu, I listened to alot of liberal talk shows this weekend - THEY HATE HIM ... It was so fun to listen too.

He's the only hope for the GOP this year ...

[Izzy Dunne]

Mr and Mrs Clinton have decided together that the former president will stay in the spotlight for the rest of the primary campaign and then take the fight to the Republicans in the general election.

Hmmm. Aren't the voters supposed to have a say in who takes the fight to the Repubs?

Hillary Clinton plot to keep Bill in the spotlight ...

Hmmm ... but the current Drudge tease is just the opposite:

NYT LEAD MONDAY: Hillary's campaign will try to 'shift former President Bill Clinton back into positive, supportive-spouse role' he played before her loss in Iowa... Developing...

How do you spell "campaign in chaos"?

I’m partially color blind but it looks like Bill’s tie is the same color as Hillary’s pantsuit. Is it?

Are you suggesting that being sick makes you listen to liberals?

;->

"Just as, when she's president, whoever is her secretary of state will have to deal with the fact that Bill can just get on the phone to Gordon Brown and go to Britain and ask him to help out on an issue. That's a fact of life."

Aaaaaaaghhh! Romney was right: it's terrifying to envision ol' BJ in the White House with nothing to do. Except to meddle, meddle, meddle and try to create his own "new legacy" as First Blabbermouth.

Yep, canary yellow.

This sounds just like James Carville and/or Paul Begala. They can't wait to get their smarmy little butts back in the White House.

I think we have had more than enough of 'two for the price of one'.

[Texas Eagle]

That’s pathetic.

[kcvl]

No one and I mean no one is going to tell that fool what to do. These same people who are trying to get him under control are the same ones who were making excuses for him during eight long years of hell.

[Christian4Bush]

John Kerry, the Democrat candidate in 2004 whose campaign was derailed by a dirty tricks campaign...

Bloody hell, wha a bunch of git! The UK telegraph can bugger off, for all I care.

[advertising guy]

the fact she sucks ain’t why this is happening........

this is their last play............I’m serious

the media ain’t got the HillBilly’s back no mo’

> I’m partially color blind but it looks like Bill’s tie is the same color as Hillary’s pantsuit. Is it?

As Semper911 answered, yes. But it's worse than that.

Yellow and black -- especially in stripes (the block trim on Hillary's suit) -- is a color schema and pattern recognized throughout the animal kingdom as "DANGER!" Think HORNETS. In modern culture, think "POLICE LINE". Crime scene tape.

It is beyond ironic that Hillary would choose that color scheme and pattern. It's scary!

[dayglored]

> the fact she sucks ...

Now wait a minute. I thought she DIDN'T SUCK.

And that that was the reason for Monica and her predecessors.

If Hillary sucked they'd never have had those "Bimbo Eruptions"...

So... you're saying she's learned how???

[popdonnelly]

“Bill can just get on the phone to Gordon Brown and go to Britain”

I think I’d rather have someone who’s accountable to the President and Congress go to Britain. This sounds like Val sending Joe to Niger.

[Verginius Rufus]

Which dirty tricks were those? Buckhead here on FR disproving Dan Rather’s phony documents within minutes of when they were broadcast? Or the TV shots of John Kerry windsurfing?

[the invisib1e hand]

bill clinton is looking more evil all the time.

[SERKIT]

Evita. Banana Republic. Husband backs wife for El Presidente. Arkansas, being a third-world country anyway, was a great breeding ground for this kind of crap. Bill is going for his third term. He will carry more weight than Hillary. There will be a one-man cabinet. Flush these two like the foul turds that they are.
