Clintons still fuming over Reich's book

How bitter is former president Bill Clinton about his ex-friend, Robert Reich? Still pretty bitter, Democratic officials here and in Washington found out recently.

Democrats are counting on Clinton to appear at a Boston fund-raiser this fall for the party's gubernatorial ticket. But as a date for the event was being set, it dawned on Clinton that he would have to embrace Reich, and say nice things about him, if the former labor secretary wins the Sept. 17 primary.

That is nonsense. The Clintons do not have friendships. They have "fawnships." Reich, and others, found that out the hard way.

[patj]

Clinton relented, sources said, after party officials argued Reich was unlikely to win the primary.

Oh yeah, I believe that.

[johnny7]

And Senator Hillary Clinton was even less eager.

Would Mr. Reich happen to be one of “those people”? Just a thought.

I wonder when the media will accept that the world no longer considers every thought, gesture and word from a Clinton to be "news" worth reporting.

I pray it is sooner rather than later.

Who Dat? Bill and Hillary who?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Good Lord, I love the sound of that!

The Clintons do not have friendships. They have "fawnships."

Hammer-firmly-and-accurately-hitting-nail-head bump!

[Stultis]

But Democrats desperately need the Clintons as they try to battle GOP candidate Mitt Romney, and hope to raise $1 million with the power couple.

The Dems still have the Clintons to represent to the public the ideals and standards of their party, and we no longer have Nixon! It ain't fair, I tells ya. [chortle]

Can anybody think of ONE person the Clintons haven't said this about?

and their nearly 30-year friendship abruptly ended.

Their Christmas card list just gets shorter and shorter.

"Their Christmas card list just gets shorter and shorter."

LOL!....And, it gets shorter by every minute they're not in the White House

[PackerBoy]

Loyalty, with the Clintons, is street that runs one way, is often short, and all too often dead ends.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! They said someone was "untruthful"????

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

[mware]

Hillary views Reich as a possible obstruction to her power play. If I was Robert Reich, I would not count on their support. They may show up, but behind the senses, he better watch his back.

[Dustbunny]

The Clintons are users, they go from one 'friend' to another 'friend', discarding 'friends' they have used up.

My a$$ !
Reich, have you ever heard the phrase"I want to spend more time with my family"? I get a laugh when I read these people complain about the Clintons and how they were abused, lied to , etc.

If any of them had had any principles they would have left. They either were being blackmailed (possible) or they liked the power and being around it.

That said, I sort of like Robert Reich. He is a very witty and laid back. I don't agree with his politics, but he seems sincere and honorable.

You said, "Their Christmas card list just gets shorter and shorter."

Thank heaven for small favors...they don't even have to buy stamps!

[Movemout]

Robert Reichhhhhhhhh gets shorted by the Arkansas Mafia. Who cares what the Rats do to each other in Kennedy country?
