One clear theme running through the history of Hillary Clinton is her reaction to her husband’s affairs. Her primary reaction is political, not emotional, as she said to George Stephanopoulos: "We have to destroy her story." So it’s funny to read through old Clinton books, where Bill is quoted saying that Hillary’s just an old-fashioned girl who "doesn’t see any sense to extramarital sex."
The book is The Hillary Factor by Rex Nelson (with Philip Martin), and the scene is set in February 1979, as the new First Lady of Arkansas is trying to sell herself with her maiden name as not a hardcore feminist, just an "old-fashioned girl" with "old-fashioned ideas about the work ethic." Nelson and Martin report:
In a television interview later that month, she said the couple’s dual careers "often do not provide enough time for us to lead private lives, to be with one another, to have a family life, to have time to think."
Bill also described his wife as old-fashioned, saying "It depresses her some when she thinks it (the use of her maiden name) is hurting me, but she’s a lawyer, and she doesn’t want to go into the courtroom as somebody’s wife. If people know how old-fashioned she was, in every conceivable way, they probably wouldn’t do that. She’s just a hard-working, no-nonsense, no-frills, intelligent girl who has done well, who doesn’t see any sense to extramarital sex, who doesn’t care much for drink, who’s witty and sharp but without being a stick in the mud. She’s just great."
They will say just about anything to the media, won’t they? Nelson and Martin added no comment of any kind after they unloaded that quote. They just moved on.

Ahhhh, that's quite some
Mon, 11/26/2007 - 00:11 ET by BlazerAhhhh, that's quite some heartwarming puff . An old-fashioned girl, with some old-fashioned work idea's. The kind of girl say, Stalin or Lenin would have been proud of.
Extramarital sex? I'm sure these leftist's probably believe if it wasn't with another man, it doesn't count.

Well, obviously, Mrs. Clinton, you thought, it was worth what you gave up. Your life was, and is, the way you want it to be.
So spare us the act, and don't expect any sympathy.
Hillary's dual career
Mon, 11/26/2007 - 00:48 ET by merlin61How can two people who only care for their
own ambitions have love for anything but
themselves. All they care about is which one
of them can become the most powerful person.
without regard for anyone in the world. They
don't know the meaning of real love.
Scary twosome. If they can't care for each
other or love each other how do you expect
them to treat the world. Two phonies.
Lemme get this straight........

So that's why he married her, eh? The ties that bond.........

out to Camp David for hot tub parties....."No men allowed". And
sleepovers at the White House when Billy was out of town. Give us
a break.

My brother, who lives near DC and worked at the Pentagon, insists that during the Clinton years, there were more rumors about Hillary's affairs than Bill's.
Hillary is probably frigid.
Mon, 11/26/2007 - 01:07 ET by Warner Todd HustonHillary is probably frigid. She doesn't mind Bill's running around because she subscribes to that ages old position that "at least he isn't bothering me."

Mon, 11/26/2007 - 01:12 ET by Gordon SchumwayRemember, the only reason, the ONLY reason there's a Chelsea Clinton was to help Bill gain re-election as governor after his first loss of the office. They had to present a more "family" image and it was probably the only time Bill and Hill "did it".

Hillary bangs on both buses
Mon, 11/26/2007 - 01:59 ET by Lame CherryFrom my sources the old fashioned girl Hillary is about as old fashioned as a Diana sex priestess with bull testicles hanging from her neck sacrificing virginity to some demonic god.
Exhibit 1 is her Rose Law days being an apparent sex dump for Vince Foster who was reported grabbing the Hamrod's hindend to which Hillary cooed, "Oh Vince!"
Exhibit 2 is her Rose Law firm being firmed up by Web Hubble as Bill told Juanita Broderick when he was raping her that he was sterile and she couldn't get pregnant...........
Exhibit 3 is the rather big mouthed, jowled Chelsea who looks like Web Hubble firmed up the firm by offering stud service to the Clintons.
Exhibit 4 is the fact lezbos have been chanting they can do Hillary.
Hillary Hamrod is a sex pervert worse than Bill Clinton.............one does remember she was championing "Children's rights to become legal wards of themselves" does not the reading public?
That is pedophile code as if a child is a legal adult there is no crime.
I have been warning the public what this Janet Reno crew has been up to at dyke central for years. It is past time that the facts start coming out and what the Hamrod policies are meant to implement.

While the individual
Mon, 11/26/2007 - 02:12 ET by jdhawkWhile the individual picadillos of this couple may be of purient interst to some, billary is going to get the nomination of her party and elected president on the issues.
On the following issues is how I am judging the candidates, defeatocrats or Republicans (I state where I stand on each issue):
1. What do they propose that we do about Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the WOT? Support finishing the job we started in both countries and root out and destroy islamofascism whever it may be found.
2. What is their position on immigration in the United States? Secure our borders and enforce existing law. This will ensure that illegals do not continue to enter our country and will force the ones that are here to move back where they came from.
3. Will they make permanent the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 and abolish death taxes and the AMT? Tax cuts ought to be permanent and we should abolish death taxes and the AMT.
4. Would they federally fund embryonic stem cell research? No, an alternative has already been found.
5. Do they favor or oppose legalized abortion in the United States? No, except where the mother's life is in danger. It is murder.
6. Do they favor or oppose the concept of universal health care in America? No. And, we should move the existing government health care programs to private enterprise where possible.
7. Do they favor the concept of privatization of Social Security? Yes, immediately.
8. Do they favor or oppose giving the president a "line-item" veto? Yes.
9. Do they support assistance for the production of ethanol and/or biofuel as an alternative to oil? No, it is inefficient and drives up the cost of this commodity, corn, for all other uses.
10. Do they favor or oppose a constitutional ammendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman? Yes.
11. Do they favor or oppose the use of the death penalty for certain crimes? Favor.
There is not one of the above items that billary and I see eye to eye on. And, for that matter, none of the other dimocrats do either.

Oh, you mean for HER! haha....now I get it!
Bill Clinton might not want to bring up "extramarital sex" in any shape or form when he is talking about his wife and/or their marriage.
Hillary sees no sense to extra marital sex?
Mon, 11/26/2007 - 13:23 ET by mattmWhat woman does? (Tee hee hee) But seriously, what does "sense" have to do with it?
President Underwear strikes again. What a scumbag.
