Bill Clinton: "You would have thought, you know, that she'd robbed a bank"

Bill Clinton defended his wife during a stop in Boonville, Indiana Thursday


http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/11/clinton.bosnia/index.html




Bill Clinton continues to assist the Obama campaign by bringing up again Senator Clinton's Bosnia sniper fiasco. He also reminds the audience that she is 60 and that people that age get forgetful when up past 11:00:

The comments follow those he made in Boonville, Indiana, on Thursday, when he strongly defended his wife over the recent coverage surrounding her 1996 Bosnia trip claims, saying the media acted as if she'd "robbed a bank."

"I got tickled the other day, a lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me, but there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated and immediately apologized for it, what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995. Did y'all see all that? Oh, they blew it up," the former president said at a campaign event.

"You would have thought, you know, that she'd robbed a bank the way they carried on about this," he added. "And some of them, when they're 60, they'll forget something when they're tired at 11 at night, too."

Senator Clinton continues to beg her husband to shut up about it


clip
Sen. Hillary Clinton wants her husband to quit talking about her trip to Bosnia in 1996, the former president said Friday.

Bill Clinton defended his wife during a stop in Boonville, Indiana Thursday.

"Hillary called me and said, "I misstated it, you said I misstated it, but you got to let me handle it because you don't remember it, either.' ... I said, 'Yes, ma'am,' " Bill Clinton said in Terre Haute, Indiana.

One has to seriously wonder at this point if Bill Clinton wants his wife to win the election. Perhaps he enjoys the independence and the speaking fees he has gotten used to. Keep up the good work Bill.

2. I'd think more highly of
someone who robbed a bank -- an act of total desperation -- than of someone who facilitated some ethically questionable depleted uranium deal -- an act of total greed.

Bill Clinton: "Next, We'll See Him Run an Ad Saying: Vote For Me, I Don't Steal Cars." Fri Apr-11-08

Yes, he really said it, after laughing and making fun of one of Obama's PA ad about not taking money from Oil Co's

5. BCCI, BNL, one of those many offshore banks in the Caribbean, the Arkansas Development and Finance
Authority, perhaps some of the South Asian or Ukraine or Colombian organized crime banks-the Clintons have been all over the map when it comes to finding sources of $$$ without any questions being asked.

7. Oh goody, if she were to be prez we should be concerned if
anything happens after 11:00 pm, she won't remember what she did at that late hour or what her policies are or who she is talking to.

Forget that 3 am phone call, we will just shut down the world from 11:00 pm to what, 5 am?

:crazy:

8. Conspirators.
Covering for each other, lying for each other, manipulating things to their own advantage and both blaming somebody else, sticking together in their exploits...

Don't trust 'em, don't need 'em, don't want 'em.

10. He's still a funny guy
Despite squandering his reputation and destroying his wife's campaign. I still chuckle when I see him. He's amusing to watch. And it's good to know his criminally-themed analogies aren't reserved just for Obama.

He use to be so smooth. But I don't think he meant anything with that car comment. The other one however...
