Barry takes shiv in the back from Bill Clinton
2008-09-19
Time for the Dems to seethe like a Palestinian...
FORMER US president Bill Clinton has cast an approving eye at Sarah Palin's political skills, but would not be drawn on whether his wife Hillary could run for the White House in 2012.
But ah'll do all ah can to make it possible...
Mr Clinton, acclaimed even by his enemies as one of the most consummate American politicians in recent history, said he did not agree with Republican vice presidential pick Mrs Palin on politics, but warned fellow Democrats not to underestimate her. "She's an instinctively effective candidate and with a compelling story," Mr Clinton said in an interview with CNBC."I think it was exciting to some that she was a woman," said Mr Clinton."I think she, I get why she's done so well. It's a mistake to underestimate her. She's got good intuitive skills. They're significant."

Mr Clinton said he thought Republican presidential candidate John McCain, a Vietnam war hero and veteran lawmaker, was a "great man" and that the election on November 4 would be close, but he predicted Democrat Barack Obama would emerge triumphant.
wink...wink
But if Senator McCain should win, would Hillary Clinton, who narrowly failed to capture the Democratic presidential nomination this time around, challenge the Arizona senator in 2012? "I don't know," Mr Clinton said.
Suuuuure ya don't...

#7  You now have two of the saviest, most dishonest, and dispicable politicos in American history, Billy and Willie, warning the Dummos, of which they are a part, to be careful in their treatment of and valuing of Palin's political worth. That should count for something, say a couple of warm french fries.

#5  I tried to tell ya all Hillary would make a better candidate but oh no, you wouldn't listen to the ol pro Billy. I been around the political block (and a few other blocks too) a few times. I know how to make the Hollywood elite sing and cough up their dough. I got the African Americans, Hispancics, The MSM are in the tank for me or whoever I say, unions, the gays, the poor in my pocket. I am the first black president if you remember. Ya remember that bit with the saxaphone I did on late night TV. Ya got to agree that was sheer genius. Ya all dissed the missus and you had to pay for it. Next time ya al will listen to the ol Willie.

#4  While it is true that Bill is thought of "one of the most consummate American politicians in recent history" by conservatives, it is not meant as acclaim, but derision.

#1  Bill's sleazy as they get, but he's got pretty good political instincts. He knows a loser when he sees one.
