There are some rhetorical roads people just shouldn’t start down. Hillary Clinton got herself caught on just such an treacherous by-way today. But there was no turning back, and so on she plunged, much to the amusement of the assembled crowd.
The occasion was her swearing in as Secretary of State. After thanking her mother and Chelsea, it was time to talk of Bill. Ruh-roh.
HILLARY CLINTON: And finally, my husband, who understands so well the awesome responsibilities on the shoulders of President Obama and Vice-President Biden and all of us who serve with them.
I am, um, so grateful to him for a lifetime of, uh, all kinds of experiences [general mirth and hilarity ensues], which have given me, which has given me a, an extraordinary richness which I am absolutely beholden to and grateful for.

Hillary thanks Bill “for a lifetime of, uh” ping to Today show list.
Yeah, you can bet the Today Show will be all over this story tomorrow, right? Hello? Bueller?
Did she also thank Monica?
LOL a whopper so big Hillary even Hillary couldn’t tell it with a straight face.
I wonder if Monica is still pining away for the guy she thought was going to leave Hillary for her.
Hell, I’d of left Hillary for a bag of day old donuts.
Well, Bill has helped out a lot of young women over the years who’ve had protein deficiencies.
It's even better than that, because it wasn't a whopper -- she spoke volumes of truth by dodging around what she didn't say outright.
Hillary! is absolutely correct to thank her philandering POS for her political advancement.
Her brilliantly cynical use of her marital problems allowed her advance her career far beyond where it could otherwise have gone. It is safe to say that her present position would not have been possible had not Bill's zipper problem come to her rescue.
Good thing Hillary wasn’t wearing a blue dress...
No one would have heard of hillary clinton if she hadn’t been married to a president. That was her sole qualification for being named Secretary of State.
These two have stuck together because their partnership has gained them huge piles of power, fame, and money.
Better put some ice on that Bill.
Wonder if he’ll be ducking lamps tonight.
She should have already learned her lesson just to NOT bring him up; she may just want to remind everyone on occasion about her victimhood. Yeccchhhh to the X42s.
“she may just want to remind everyone on occasion about her victimhood.”
GMTA—after originally posting the item at FinkelBlog, I added this afterthought: “On reflection, could it be this was no stumble at all, but Hillary’s way of humiliating Bill in front of his mother-in-law and the world under circumstances in which he could do nothing but grin and bear it?
Does Chelsea EVER go to work?
The apple does not fall far from the tree.Her folks have been sucking on the government teat for a long time.
I think Slick relishes his role as the former Bad Boy of the White House. Probably wishes he were still capable of misbehavin’
Did you see his gig last week w/41? 41 gave a hilarious presentation that was only mildly off-color, and Slick had to come on and comment “imagine if *I* said that?”
Ha! Even better: a twofer for her...”Just to quickly remind everyone, I’m the victim, and he’s always been a piece of sh!t.”
Yep, she wouldn’t have had a career if it hadn’t been for Billy.
No doubt. How many wives get the opportunity to intimidate one of their husband's rape victims? It must have been a very empowering feeling to scare the hell out of Juanita Broderick.
Ouch, she should have rehearsed her comments. Better put some ice on that Hillary.
