HILL TELLS BILL: CEASE FIRING & SHUT UP!

Former US president Bill Clinton said Friday he has been ordered to hold his tongue by his wife Hillary for reviving an embarrassing story about her trip to Bosnia in 1996 while out campaigning.
"Hillary called me and said 'You don't remember this. You weren't there, let me handle it.' I said, 'Yes ma'am," the grinning ex-president said during a campaign stop in Indiana, according to television pictures.
A series of gaffes have made Bill Clinton somewhat of a liability in his wife's campaign for the Democratic White House nomination.
And he put his foot in it again Thursday by raising the now-legendary story of how, as first lady, she had apparently landed in Bosnia under sniper fire.
Television footage last month debunked her claims, which Clinton used to emphasis her experience in comparison to rival Barack Obama, and her response that she had simply misspoke did little for her reputation.
The New York senator drew a line under the affair two weeks ago when she made a joke of it on a talk show, saying she was late because she had been "pinned down by sniper fire."
But Bill Clinton revived the issue once against Thursday, telling voters: "One time late at night when she was exhausted, she misstated and immediately apologized for it, what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995.
"Did y'all see all that? Oh, they (the media) blew it up."
Clintonthink.
Does this duo ever do anything that is not calculated? What else could they be trying to hide, or side-step, by bringing this up again?
This is why Bill Clinton was known as ‘The Lyin’ King’.
Bubba’s EGO is so large .. I personally don’t think he wants her to have the same title as he has: “former president”.
I’m basing this on his overall treatment of women - in general - not just his disrespectful treatment of his wife.
The overt attempts at silencing of the facts (ie: hiding who the clintons really ARE) are supposed to make the idiot-public believe that the facts don't exist?
"Why," indeed!
Good one!
