The spectacle that is the Clinton marriage continues to raise eyebrows. The London Daily Mail seemed surprised at excerpts of Hillary Rodham Clinton's interview with Essence magazine, now up on their website. She called her marriage an "investment," but didn't use the word "love" to describe it:
On her marriage: “I know the truth of my life and of my marriage, my relationship and partnership, my deep abiding friendship with my husband. It's been enormously supportive to me through most of my life. Now obviously we've had challenges as everybody in the world knows. “But I never doubted that it was a marriage worth investing in even in the midst of those challenges,” she says, “and I'm really happy that I made that decision. Again, not a decision for everybody. And I think it's so important for women to stand up for the right of women to make a decision that is best for them.”
On the most romantic thing her husband has done for her: She hesitates for longer than is comfortable, then she says, “Oh he's so romantic. He's always bringing me back things from his trips. He brought me a giant wooden giraffe from Africa. Oh, he bought me this watch,” she said, holding out her left wrist to show off a Chanel watch, its bracelet made of white cubes shaped like elegant dentures, if you can picture it. “I had dental surgery, and he said it reminded him of teeth.”
Don't you think this kind of interview would make Democrats gnash their teeth? Or does Hillary really want to send the signal that this was a "business decision," that she's still not Tammy Wynette, not anyone's love-struck pawn?

Her Marriage a Deep

Calling the Chinese...

October 25, 2007 - 11:18 ET by fossten"And I think it's so important for women to stand up for the right of women to make a decision that is best for them."
Is Hillary standing up for the right of Juanita Broaddrick to decide not to be raped by her husband? What about the right of Kathleen Willey to decide not to be groped by her husband? Is she also standing up for the right of Paula Jones to decide not to have to view her husband's bent crank?
Or does Hillary think that what happened to those women is what's best for them?
Forget 911, I dial 9MM.
I think it's so important for women to stand up for the right...
October 25, 2007 - 11:45 ET by HypocriteHaterLeave it to Hillary to turn her failure of a marriage into a rally cry for feminists.
"What do we want?" "To stay in a loveless marriage!"
"When do we want it?" "Now!!"
I guess the investment is
October 25, 2007 - 11:26 ET by misterbee241I guess the investment is about to pay dividends, she might be president. Not from any accomplishment she's had, but because she rode Bill's coat tails from Little Rock to the White House.
Of course, with the campaign donations going the way they are, she might get a ride to the Big House.
"Oh he's so romantic. He's always bringing me back things from his trips."
Like STD's for instance?

October 25, 2007 - 11:50 ET by bigtimer“I had dental surgery, and he said it reminded him of teeth.”
Lets see...it reminded him of teeth eh?
Whose teeth? Jaunita Brodericks?
He is an impeached rapist and she has invested in the marriage allright, she is a political whore...an evil one at that.
Period.
If my "so romantic" husband
October 25, 2007 - 12:21 ET by motherbeltIf my "so romantic" husband bought me a watch with a band of rocks, because it reminded him of teeth, he would be wearing the watch with its band, around his neck.

If I were to talk about my
October 25, 2007 - 12:19 ET by motherbeltIf I were to talk about my marriage of over 30 years, I would say my husband is my life partner, my lover, my best friend. I wouldn't describe it as a "deep friendship." And although I would say it has been worth all the downs that came with the ups, I wouldn't say it was "worth investing in."
But that's just me.
Marriage of Convenience
October 25, 2007 - 12:36 ET by fitzfongHillary was correct when she referred to her sham of a marriage as an "investment". Just like when she made legally impossible profits in the cattle futures market, she gave up a little (in this case, humiliation) to get a massive payoff. Her "marriage" to the Slick One is simply a business relationship...he's required to prop up an undeserving, unqualified fraud as payoff for cheating on her. And to think, this country may have to suffer the consequences.
Well put, fitz.
October 25, 2007 - 12:43 ET by motherbeltShe invested the early part of her life, to get a big payoff later. Everyone that's ever known them has said she stood by him and now it's "her turn."
I've always referred to her
October 25, 2007 - 13:06 ET by fitzfongI've always referred to her as "The Trailer"...can't go anywhere on her own, so she must hitch herself to a more powerful vehicle to get to where she wants to be.
Ohhh, How Romantic......
October 25, 2007 - 13:08 ET by DanoHillary's stated the she has a "deep abiding friendship with my husband."
But, she is in LOVE with herself.

hilarry doesn't sound fiministic in these lines, and doesn't jive with fiminists line of thinking. She's yakking now as a soft, loving and level-headed wife. Hmmnn. Let's ask Billy what's the real story why she sticks around? Senate or maybe the White House...
Tim, it's a lot like Camelot..
October 25, 2007 - 17:15 ET by Gary HallTim, it's a lot like Camelot. Again. It's a different Camelot, but the media wants it to be Camelot. They'll find a way for it to work.
PS. They don't need to have love; they have lies - together.
Isn't that special?
