Clinton Official: Bill has been on a "Woman Diet" for the last year

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

This is absolutely unbelievable. A former Clinton official has essentially admitted that Bill Clinton has been serially unfaithful up until about a year ago, when he went on a "woman diet" (the official's words, not mine). Read it for yourself:

An official in the Clinton White House who strongly supports her and is highly skeptical of Obama says that when Hillary promises there won't be another Bill Clinton sex scandal, that's not just hope talking. This wasn't some pro forma assurance, either, or a Scarlett O'Hara-style, we'll-worry-about-that-another-day sort of remark. No, there's a reason the candidate feels, as she said, "very confident" on that score: Her husband has been "put on a diet for the last year," the former Clinton official told me, referring not to cheeseburgers but to women. "And he's stuck to it, as far as we know."

1. WTF???

Have I mentioned how much I loathe these people right now? :puke:

Okay, THIS needs to get out there! Sending to Keith as we speak!

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

2. And this is one of Hillary's supporters

that's what her friends think of the two of them.

[ecstatic]

75. My first reaction. Disgusting.

He's damn near 70, married, and still needs a woman diet? WTFF?

[tekisui]

3. You know, I don't really care what kind of action Bill gets.

It's between him, Hillary and his women. It's nobody's business. Hillary may be cool with it, lots of folks have open marriages.

[eleny]

8. A president in an open marriage? In the US of A?

:rofl:

[boston bean]

11. A president who has a preacher who hates america?

A president who can't relate to small town america?

A president with friends who are terrorists?

must I go on and on and on and on

[tekisui]

19. Friends with terrorists? Don't push that.

And Obama relates very well, thank you very much.

[cali]

27. sure. go on and on on with your

completely dishonest bullshit. you never stop spewing false crap anyway.

[mckeown1128]

49. I take it your one of the Taylor Marsh ditto heads...

who looks forward to watching HANNITY and colmes every night. Can't wait for those updates on the "Obama once sat in a room with a person accused but never convicted of blowing something up" stories. You make me sick.

[dchill]

58. Please do go on and on...

and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

Then, when you're done spreading the Hannitation Crew Talking Point/Lies, tell us how you feel about the "Woman Diet" - good thing or bad thing?

[Frank Booth]

77. Keep fooling yourself. While you may never have been to small town America, I can assure you

that this will not play well there.

[CreekDog]

82. so you think she'll get elected if there's a story about a new Clinton affair?

and if he's allowed to cheat, then what is she doing? is she faithful to him?

you really do think she is more electable, don't you?

i'll tell you what, if it's not Obama, it's Gore --Obama is not perfect but Hillary has not been able to match him despite a ton of advantages

she's the flawed candidate and she's screwing up so badly that she doesn't even realize what she's losing in attempting to win the way she is trying to.

[cliffordu]

83. Aw bullshit.

God damn America.

I'm a veteran just like Wright,


:patriot:


Now tell me I hate America.

[tekisui]

25. Well, obviously, it wouldn't be an open open marriage.

As in we wouldn't know it.

[eleny]

44. Oh, I see, there's open and then there's open open

[Cha]

70. Who was that Guv who was swinging from

chandliers in Illinois and had to drop out? Usually not part of a good political resume.."Open marriage Will Swing"

[Me.]

42. It Is Between Them

However, this has been floating around NY for a couple of years and is of concern because people who knew it figured the pukes knew it too and would hammer her with it if she became the nominee, on the lines of 'see things haven't changed at all with the Clintoms

[eleny]

92. Doesn't matter if he indulges or not

They're going to say he does and innuendo the whole deal to death. And those who choose to believe it - will. Look at what she and they are doing to Obama right now. If he farted they'd call him uppity. Oh, I mean "elite".

[knixphan]

57. yeah...

plus the real issue is Hill, and there are more than enough issue-related reasons why she's the lesser candidate.

[tekisui]

60. Exactly.

She has given plenty of ammo. No need to drag Bill and his women in on it.

[CreekDog]

80. sounds like the height of elitism

:eyes:

[vssmith]

96. I really don't care if he shags sheep

BUT I think he used damn poor judgment with his reckless behavior in the Oval Office.

[99th_Monkey]

4. No wonder Bill's been so ill-tempered lately.. LOL..after all he's done.

[JI7]

17. hahhaha

[Raine]

40. and has put on weight nt

[Kber]

63. Shoot - that explains everything.

Maybe he's sabotaging Hillary's campaign b/c he knows that her presidency would mean 4 more years of fidelity.

Sorry, but that's just too funny!

:)

[KittyWampus]

5. "as far as we know"? hahahahahaha, oh the irony, it kills me

[Stephanie]

32. Can you believe it?

Incredible.

[CTyankee]

6. No, please god, no more sex stuff on Bill Clinton!

This is TMI. Nobody wants to know what a 60 year old man is doing with whoever. Some men at that age can't really do it without, you know, the little blue pills. So probably this is a manufactured problem.

Oh, dear god, can we not move away from this? It is so embarrassing to even think about....

[jpertello]

12. Just what America needs...

Bill Clinton roaming the halls of the White House with nothing to do and "that look" in his eyes.
**shudder**

[CTyankee]

20. Noooo!

n/t

[Deja Q]

18. What rubbish; people talk about it on tv all the time.

Even British sitcoms played up the idea in the early 1990s.



Sex should NOT be embarrassing and it SHOULD be done in public so we can all evolve out of this self-shame we put ourselves through.

Yes, that was :sarcasm:

[ginnyinWI]

7. Creepy. n/t

[Auntie Bush]

28. Are you saying that picture of Obama's family is creepy?

Take a look at your post. :rofl:

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

46. I think that photo is in all his (or her) posts

[Auntie Bush]

55. Ya think?

[ampad]

53. Hardy har har

Looks like a sig pic to me :shrug:

[Arkana]

9. Dear God.

Are they THAT afraid that he'll fool around with someone on the campaign trail or something?

[Hepburn]

10. WTF???

How low does a woman's self-esteem have to be that she would stay with someone like this???

:puke:

[my3boyz]

31. All abt her political ambition IMO. nt

[phiddle]

13. "Stuck to it"--- is that some Freudian slip?

[panader0]

14. I don't like cheese.

[unblock]

15. there's that "as far as we know" phrase again!

ok, technically, last time it was "as far as *I* know"...

[JVS]

16. He treats women like cheeseburgers

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

34. That's what his supporter said

Kind of sleazy, IMO.

[Deja Q]

21. Amusing subject line, I thought he liked eating women...

:hide:

[Kber]

64. Maybe he is?

He never struck me as selfish in that kinda way.

OK - crossed a line - sorry!

[roseBudd]

22. Ew & yuck, a selfish man who gets blown & doesn't even return the favor

and no a cigar doesn't get it any more than a falafel (loofah) does

[travelingtypist]

23. Smart. It's the one thing they did well.

I really don't think that their marriage is any of our business -- maybe
Hillary likes to watch -- but it's smart not to give anybody a Gary Hart-
type opening.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. It might explain why he's been awfully cranky lately.

Just sayin'.

[adoraz]

26. haha

thats what I was thinking.

[my3boyz]

29. Ewwwww...disgusting! He is such a pig! I'm sorry there is no

way I could stay married to a man that was ALWAYS unfaithful. It would be hard to forgive even one time but multiple times would be impossible.

[Mooney]

30. I'm glad he's now 100% walking on the brown side.

[cbayer]

33. This is an absolutely fascinating article.

The relationship between these two has always intrigued me and this analysis is very, very interesting. Supporters will find it reassuring in many ways, while detractors will find it disturbing. Whatever you walk away with, it is an absorbing read.

[thewiseguy]

35. Thats a very interesting article

And what a stupid thing to say for that former White House official!

[ima_sinnic]

36. that is downright creepy--and does not sit well at all with "middle America"

"as far as she knows" he's been "faithful"--what a fucking jackass! what a great fucking marriage. these people are so done. she has NO self-respect at all. she is just riding his coattails, used and being used like the pathetic half-democrat/half-repuke that she is--uncommitted to a party, with a husband who is uncommitted to her except as it will benefit him politically-=-it's quite fitting, actually.

[Catherine Vincent]

37. Way to eat that up, Obama supporters.

:eyes:

[thewiseguy]

51. Whats with the Obama avatar?

[SoCalDem]

38. "...as far as we know...".. there's that phrase again

:rofl:

[AllentownJake]

39. Oh dear God

They are worried about our electability....that's all we need is another former intern walking on TV in October.

[MelissaB]

41. I don't care who he has sex with, but I don't think the conservative American public shares my

values. (Although you wouldn't know it by memberships at Adult Friend Finder and other swinger sites!)

[undeterred]

43. Abstinence only?

[Raine]

45. Oh Gawd

I can't take another 4-8yrs of trying to defend and excuse his piggy behavor. :puke:

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

47. Do you know anyone who's stuck to a diet for four straight years?

[tokenlib]

48. And the McConnell joke about Hooter's was worthy of condemnation??

I'm feeling a bit of warmth for "family values" just about now...

[tishaLA]

50. Bill's dalliances are the least of my problems with Hillary

But you can best believe whatever happened until a year ago will become grist for the mill should Sen Clinton manage to wrest the nomination away from Sen Obama.

[ampad]

52. Honestly people

This is disgusting. I loath Hillary honestly I do but this has no place in the political discourse. If this is true then the Clintons have a fucked up marriage and that is pretty damn sad.

[mtnsnake]

54. Wasn't it slate.com that reported last year how Obama was banging his press secretary all the time?

[Raine]

65. Link nt

[beachmom]

76. No, Edwards. And it was one author. Who is the author of this article?

Good point if it's the same guy.

I just checked: it's a female writer, different from that false Edwards story.

[JI7]

no, but Bill actually has a history of it unlike Obama and Edwards

[sudopod]

56. He is Hillary's right-hand-man. :3 nt

[cwood]

59. How exactly is this a surprise to anyone who has followed politics in the last 17 years?

I'm fairly neutral about the two candidates, but anyone who has ever watched the news since Bill Clinton first became the Democratic nominee in 2002 has to know that he is and always has been a complete a womanizer... unless you've been living in the state of denial. They aren't a real married couple anymore, if they ever were, they are a political union. Everyone in the world knows this. This makes me feel slightly negative about Hillary (hugely negative about Bill), but it would never be a deciding factor in determining my vote.

[AtomicKitten]

61. OMFG

[TML]

62. Nice misandric comment

:sarcasm:

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

66. What does misandric mean?

:shrug:

[TML]

67. It means...

Hatred of men. Yes, I had to look it up. :-)

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

73. Ah, I see

opposite of mysogonist

[TML]

74. Not exactly opposite

More like it's counterpart, but you get the idea. That term may come in handy in the coming days. ;-)

[JBoy]

68. Maybe he's only dating low-fat women.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

69. drinking them with a straw?

just ewwwwwwwwwwww

[Erin Elizabeth]

71. I've never been one to care about all that stuff.

Even when it happened back then I was mostly "meh" about it. Figured it was between he and his wife.

But this is creepy. And I'm feeling grateful once again that Clinton won't be the nom, as I probably couldn't take another four years of Bill sex scandal shit. It distracts, totally.

[billyoc]

72. I feel his pain.

(couldn't help it) :evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

78. "An official in the Clinton White House"

Mm-hmm.

[stillcool]

79. Somebody's bitter...

[LostinVA]

81. Am I lost?

Am I on FreeRepublic?

[AZBlue]

84. No wonder he's so cranky and constantly sticking his foot in his mouth.

[Arugula Latte]

85. Clenis on Lockdown: Day 365

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

94. LOL!

[Skittles]

86. how is this any of our business? n/t

[truebrit71]

87. If Monica's boyfriends wife has designs on the WH it is ALL our business...

...

[Skittles]

90. it is tabloid trash n/t

[Frank Booth]

88. This story proves again how the Republicans would have just destroyed Hillary if she had won.

Obama has gone so easy on her, it's not even funny.

There's a reason McCain wants to face Hillary. She's gotten a free ride, but there's no way she would have if she hadn't lost the nomination.

[C_U_L8R]

89. What does "as far as we know" mean in Clintonese

It's like Fellini's Satyricon every night back at the Four Seasons Presidential Suite????

[Frank Booth]

91. Can you imagine if an Obama official said that Michelle had been on a "man diet" for the past year?

Anderson Cooper would be wetting himself with "concern." We'd never hear the end of it.

How long will Hillary continue to get a free pass?

[Kaleva]

93. Wonder when he can get off the diet?

My wife has put me on a "no sex" diet many times but they lasted only a few days at most.

[Stephanie]

95. The Clintons' self-indulgence has cost us too much already.

THEY HAVE TO GO

[vssmith]

97. The sacrifices the poor man has to make for his wife

[Avalux]

98. "As far as we know" LOL!!!

OMG I can't even imagine the drama in the WH if she were to be president. I DON'T WANT ANYMORE CLINTON DRAMA.
