NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Former President Clinton said Monday his wife can handle the criticism from her presidential rivals even though "those boys have been getting tough on her lately."

Clinton's comment comes amid debate as to whether the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign's complaints about her rivals' "piling on" suggest the criticism is directed at the lone woman in the presidential race or the Democratic front-runner. Last week, Bill Clinton. in defense of his wife against political critics, cited the "swift boat" television ads of the 2004 presidential campaign that questioned John Kerry's patriotism and the campaign commercials in 2002 that suggested Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia was soft on terrorism.

Several Democratic candidates said they were surprised by the analogy.

"It's a great time to be a Democrat," Bill Clinton told more than 800 students and supporters at Trident Technical College. "Even though those boys have been getting tough on her lately, she can handle it."

Clinton said he loves campaigning for his wife and paying back for all those years she campaigned for him for governor of Arkansas and president.

1. Sounds like 'reverse sexism' if you ask me. And that's still sexism.

After all, nobody feels sorry for the male candidates that get piled on.

I know, instead of asking proper questions, let's give her flowers and candy instead. Yup, that'll work much better.

:crazy:

2. it's good that she can handle it.

But does Bill really need to play the gender card on her behalf? I swear it's like W sent out Laura or something

3. Sounds like a canny joke to me. n/t

4. How dare you.

5. And how did you reciprocate for Kerry's help in 92 that got you elected, Bill?

You know, it would be highly unlikely that a Dem would have won in 1992 had IranContra and BCCI not been uncovered and the investigations making consistent bad headlines for Poppy Bush throughout his entire term.

Then what did Bill do?

And in 2004, who did Bill defend and protect during his entire book tour?

And in Oct2006, who did Hillary side with to smear Kerry?

7. "Those boys" ????????

That is pretty insulting. They are not in junior high or high school. What is with Bill? How soon before HRC decides he is a mixed blessing.
