Bill Clinton Pours On the Estrogen
New York Times ^ | 26 Jul 16 | Maureen Dowd

His life took off, he said, when he fell in love with “that girl.”

He told a familiar love story, recounted in his memoir, about springtime at Yale Law School in 1971 and a “magnetic” girl with thick blond hair and big glasses and no makeup and a long, white flowery skirt.

He said when he first saw her in a political and civil rights class that he wanted to tap her on the shoulder but he knew if he did, he would be starting something beyond his control.

With a sky-blue tie and silvery hair and an easy smile, the 69-year-old looked healthier than he has on the trail. And he was sharp.

The Big Dog basked in the unique historic moment: a former president and a husband and a wannabe first lad making the case for a former first lady, a wife and a wannabe first woman president.

In an act of amazing self-restraint, the man who relishes the word “I” managed to make the talk, as he prefers to call his folksy speeches, all about her. He was positively uxorious.

Maureen please try to keep up. Nobody is talking about the rapists’ speech anymore. Today all anyone is talking about is TRUMP.

Backstage with 'Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly. All those eager actresses, you couldn't keep him away with a tank of mace.

I'm amazed that anyone takes Bill Clinton seriously...

For some reason, her husband didn’t mention anything about 1998 in his speech.

Times editors are too busy trying to write hit pieces.

Am I only one who sees grammatical errors?

It looks like the years of snorting and sporting are beginning to wear on ol’ Bill doesn’t it?

I’m just glad to see the Dems rallying around the old pervert; they’ve lost any moral high ground whatsoever...

Maureen needs to read Crisis of Character, the recent release authored by Gary Byrne.

Mr. Byrne is a now-retired member of the uniformed Secret Service who had the unpleasant duty of protecting the Clintons during their disgraceful occupancy of our White House.

Byrne describes the relationship between the Clintons as being, from the beginning, a marriage of convenience.

Bill had the charm, Hillary had the funds, and together they formed an alliance that has left a trail of broken lives, ruined reputations and dead bodies unrivalled in our history.

No, you’re not. Journalistic standards are fairly non-existent.

If Hillary is so great, why did Bill cheat on her all the time?

I’m sure she would give him a BJ for keeping abortion legal... or just for the hell of it.
