BT, While I was sick of the whole gravitas thing, I still loved the fact that the MSM used it because they were desperate and had nothing else to say to promote Gore.

I agree with you Bal. Hillary knew.  How many times has Bill been accused of sexual assault? 

According to this source (and there are other news sources as well): http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Feb1999/020399/clintonrape020399.htm

• A 1969 charge by a 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford University campus where the future President was a student. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed this week that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim's family declined to pursue the case;
• In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, who was a law student at the college. No charges were filed;
• In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law professor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. Clinton claimed the student ''came on'' to him and she left the school shortly after the incident.
• Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's attorney general campaign, said he raped her in 1978;
• From 1978-1980, during Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor reported seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually.
• Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen, told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. She later recanted that interview and said had been threatened by Clinton supporters into claiming the sex was consensual.
• Paula Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with a cash payment.
• A former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation's capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. The woman has since married and left Washington.
• Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.

Now Bal, I don't know anything about freerepublic or capitalhillblue's credibility, but if this is true, then Hillary and Bill's marriage was a marriage of convenience.  He needed the "family" image as president and she needed his coattails to ride on in order to quench her thirst for power.

Right boa...and btw she led the ways for the cheating, scheming ways illegally to get her hands on money, whether it was in this country or out of our borders, let alone blackmail with the missing FBI files...oh I could go on and on...she had Ron Brown lead the way for the cash for the junkets overseas, opened the borders as wide as possible and put millions of illegals on the voting rolls with motor voter and all, her old man was leaving that up to her, after all, he had the charisma and charm, looks and phoniness that passed as intelligence for the elite msm leftists, let alone Hollywood, she had the brains and know how to intimidate, threaten, cheat, scheme and outwit blackmail anyone that got in her way....some never made it to testify against either one of them, as they were scheduled to do, just two examples, Vince Foster, McDougal. Lets don't forget including Algore here with Babbit and her to get the Indian Tribes too...China-gate....it goes on and on...

She will never win unless there is some third party to hurt the republicans, or a very strong democrat lives to beat with bowing to her wishes.

Maybe Oprah will give her next studio audience tickets....     ;^)
