The lesson Bill Clinton learned is to whine!

Bill Clinton: I learned a lesson

WASHINGTON - Former President Clinton says he's learned a valuable lesson from the dustup over his remarks on the campaign trail — he can promote his wife's presidential candidacy, but he's not free to defend her.

Clinton also said that everything he said in South Carolina about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was "factually accurate," but a lot that has been said about what he said is "factually inaccurate."

"I think the mistake that I made is to think that I was a spouse like any other spouse who could defend his candidate," Clinton said, referring to his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is waging a hard-fought contest with Obama for the Democratic nomination.

"I think I can promote Hillary but not defend her because I was president. I have to let her defend herself or have someone else defend her," Clinton said in an interview with NBC News as he was campaigning in Portland, Maine, Thursday.

<...>

"A lot of the things that were said were factually inaccurate," Clinton said. "I did not ever criticize Senator Obama personally in South Carolina. ... But I think whenever I defend her, I, A, risk being misquoted, and, B, risk being the story. I don't want to be the story."

8. It's actually an AI programmed from a 5-year-old's brain
It searches to see what has hurt the Obama supporters the most, then turns it around on the Clinton supporters.

If we all started calling Obama supporters "Obama breadboxes," within 12 hours the AI would be posting randomly-linked stories and titling them as "Clinton breadboxes".

was ever *our* President.

The mighty Clintonian DLC Poltical Machine that Bill BUILT - has not only trashed our party but now, he and his wife will be anointed "King and Queen" or THEY WILL TRASH OUR ENTIRE POLITICAL SYSTEM.

I sincerely regret EVER voting for Bill Clinton (Arrgh, twice even! :yoiks:) and neither Hillary NOR Chelsea will score my vote in the future. NOT EVER! :nuke:

6. Bill Clinton's nose is growing again.
Teddy Kennedy called bullshit on his lies and yet Bubba persists. Funny how they call the Obama camp cultists when precisely that mindset is required to continue backing someone who is so tragically FOS.

9. Hillary's top spokespeople LOST her point advantage. Obama's spokespeople GAINED for him.
The last few weeks has certainly proven that.
