"I'd like to scratch his eyes out!"

:)

edited: She said this about Bill Clinton during an interview a while back. Sorry I don't have the link. She was also kidding.

1. She would have laid Obama out with a left hook
right there on national tv I bet.

I knew there was a reason I liked that woman. :evilgrin:

12. It's not a matter of knowing better. It's a matter of knowing that he's
the luckiest man on earth already!

19. I doubt that
Obama's a smart man.

He would have left the country for his health. :P

3. Michelle would not have been up there, as a matter of fact Barackp
probably would have had a black eye.

4. Did she seriously say that?
I read a story a while back about Obama at a card game, when someone came in with a woman that wasn't his wife. Apparently he gave the guy a filthy look, and someone else in the room ushered him out. Good for him.

11. Well I think I said something along those lines as well, LOL.
Kind of different there. There was a case of serial behavior, and it was the WH after all. The party was already battling the RW nightmare that was coming at the clintons 24/7. Why risk anything by doing something to stupid, unless you wanted to get caught?

As for Spitzer, it's still wrong - and in his case hurt his reputation quite severely. I do feel terribly sorry for his wife and children. But his actions truly only impact the State of NY vs. the Country as a whole.

15. I agree, and both of them are their own worst enemy
the commit political suicide to get laid.

The male body doesn't have enough blood supply to allow two heads to think at the same time.

No sympathy for either one.

9. So, you should edit your post to indicate that this is not true.
Might have been what she would've done, but she did not say this.

13. No! Her butt would be there standing next to her husband. One
cannot come over as being more moralistic as she seems too and thus not turn her cheek, 70 x 7.....

16. Gee, Michele sounds just like Mrs David Vitter
Asked by an interviewer in 2000 whether she could forgive her husband if she learned he’d had an extramarital affair, as Hillary Clinton and Bob Livingston’s wife had done, Wendy Vitter told the Times-Picayune: “I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me.”

Well, we all know how that turned out.

There's an old saying: "Never spit up in the air because it might land in your face"

22. Shudder
What a nasty, negative person she is. She never seems to have anything nice to say about anyone.
