CNN Exults in Clinton Kiss: 'They're Off, Separately, to Change the World'

Media sycophancy for the Clintons is so 1990s, but every now and then the MSM muster up a bit of nostalgia and pour lavish praise on the former first couple. Take CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Jill Dougherty at the close of the 5 p.m. EDT hour of today's "The Situation Room."

"Often times, a kiss is just a kiss, but when you're a former president planting one on your wife, the secretary of state, it can garner a lot of attention," CNN's Wolf Blitzer gushed as he introduced a story by colleague Jill Dougherty in which the latter enthused that after a "brief public display of affection" before an audience at the Clinton Global Initiative, the Democratic power couple were "off, separately, to change the world."

There's a valley girl

There's a valley girl slogan just screaming to be used here.

(Ken and candance, the valley girl reference harkens back to the early 80's and teenage girls from the San Fernando Valley in California. Research can be had here.) /haha

Not again!

"the Democratic power couple were "off, separately, to change the world."

Jeeze, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, how many times are you going to change the world?

Only from you and your ilk, Wolfie. The rest of us don't give a rat's patootie.

Bill Clinton's change of the World

Looking thru the lens of the left:

The Legacy of the Clinton Bubble: Chickens Come Home to Roost-HISTORY SHOULD deal harshly with Bill Clinton.

Nelson Mandela..."I also condemn NATO [Clinton] for taking action outside of the United Nations and doing precisely what Milosevic is doing. Killing civilians, destroying the infrastructures of the country. Destroying bridges and all of the structures, which are important for the development of the country. I pointed out to President Boris Yeltsin that we must strongly condemn any country or group of countries that take action of this nature outside of the United Nations."

Clinton. Pardon Me, Africa: During the Clinton years...The prevailing view was, these people should die quietly. David Corn, The Nation

Bob Geldof - Former president Bill Clinton had not helped Africa much, despite his high-profile visits and apparent empathy with the downtrodden, the organiser of Live Aid, claimed. "Clinton was a good guy, but he did fuck all." 'You'll think I'm off my trolley, but Bush has the most positive approach to Africa since Kennedy'

How many millions of human beings died in the world, notably Africa, because President Clinton looked the other way?

Thank you Wolf for the continuing re-write!

Oh isn't this just precious.

Please you media fools, get a life...a real life, in the real world.

Soon you'll be obsolete.

I have kissed my grandmother better than that

Why must Wolf live in a fantasy world? Bill Clinton has not slept with his wife since they were in the White House. Maybe only the first term. I bet Bill has been a hound dog since they split up. For Wolf to act as if that was some sort of touching romantic moment only once again demonstrates what an absolute leftie rumpswab he is.

Al Gore's bowel movement looked extremely healthy!

Joe Biden scraped gum off his shoe!

And Barney Franks' wants to know why his kisses are never covered by the MSM!

Least likely a kiss,

Most likely a Xanax exchange....

I missed it.

September 25, 2009 - 21:12 ET by Willis_Leon_Johnson

Which one kissed which one off again and which one, once again, didn't noticed he/she was being kissed off once again?

Talk about two SLOW LEARNERS.....

And why is it that normal people would never be caught dead, or alive, kissing either one of them?

Good Lord!

Let's get real here! Hillary is off to the buffet and Bill is off to a brothel! These people aren't "off to save the world". They can't even save themselves from being a laughing stock!

"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"

Bill has big brass ones

September 25, 2009 - 22:41 ET by Mike76

If Bill has the courage to kiss Hillary on the lips, he has bigger balls than me. Everytime I hear her voice, I cross my legs. It's sort of a instinctive self defense measure, like a turtle pulling his head into his shell. I can't seem to help it. That voice! I've never heard such "man-hate."

If there was an entry for "castrating bitch" in the dictionary, Hillary's picture would be beside it.
