Bill Clinton: Wife’s Record Not Covered
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press Writer
December 4, 2007
KEENE, N.H. - Bill Clinton said Tuesday that if reporters covered the candidates’ public records better, his wife’s presidential bid would be far ahead of her rivals.
During a campaign stop on behalf of his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president said he can’t understand why so much of the media coverage of the campaign ignores her experience — and, without naming him, the relative lack of experience of her closest Democratic rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
“One percent of the press coverage was devoted to their record in public life. No wonder people think experience is irrelevant. A lot of the people covering the race think it is (irrelevant),” Clinton said to students at Keene State College.
Clinton referenced a study from the Project for Excellence in Journalism that indicated much of the coverage of the race is dominated by daily horse race reporting rather than about policy issues.
“Sixty-seven percent of the coverage is pure politics. That stuff has a half life of about 15 seconds. It won’t matter tomorrow. It is very vulnerable to being slanted and rude. And it won’t affect your life,” Clinton said.
Clinton also said his wife’s bipartisan work in the Senate proves she can accomplish her campaign’s message of change, and that records matter more than rhetoric. He said that when voters look at records and accomplishments, they will see clear choices between the New York senator and her rivals.
“I would pick her and be here if we weren’t married,” Clinton said…
It is to laugh. What is her record? The number of ghostwriters she has gone through?
Speaking of which, remember that Mrs. Bill Clinton had a weekly syndicated published over her by line for several years. (Just like her heroine Eleanor Roosevelt.)
With all of those words, all of her speeches, all of her (ahem) books — can anyone remember one significant thing she has ever said?
And by that, I mean, something for which she would be proud?
I can’t either.
Release her records currently under lock and key at the Clinton trailer library, Mr. Clinton, if you are so proud of them.

One percent of the press coverage was devoted to their record in public life.
Sixty-seven percent of the coverage is pure politics.
And Seventy three percent of all statistics are made up.
Hey Bill, release the records so we can focus on the stuff you say she did.

I for one would like to hear more about Mrs. Clinton’s record.
I’d like to see a copy of her speech to her fellow graduating class.
I’d like to see how she could afford to live off of campus with her friend/landlord, Greg Craig.
I’d like to see her legal work & billing records relative to Whitewater.
I’d like to see her legal work in regards to Madison Savings & Loan - in particular those employee & their familys’ contributions to her husband’s, the governor, reelection campaign.
I’d like to see the checks she wrote for, her cattle futures position, her first home in Little Rock, her home in Westchester & Washington DC.
I’d like to see the secret service reports for her altercation with the soon to be new president on 01/20/92 & then then the one where the president “cut himself shaving”.
I’d like to see her memorandums to Bernie Nussbaum in regards to changing secret service security clearance procedure after almost a year of nearly half the staff unwillingness or inability to take and or pass their background checks.
I could go on as you all know.

Hmmm…. so the Great Fornicator wants the media to reveal their ENTIRE record in the White House?!? Be careful what you axe fo.

What nonsense. The press has ignored the record that would damage her, not the record that would help her. There is no record for her, oh, yes there was, no there wasn’t, oh, yes there was, no…. ad nauseam.

Hey RB,
I for one would like to hear Hillarys last words as she was strapped to the one of the space shuttles engine bells before take off, I think we will both be waiting along time.

Experience? What experience? Seven years as a coattail riding Senator from NY hardly qualifies one to be POTUS. What, pray tell, major legislation has Shillary written, sponsored or even rode herd over?

This is just her 109th Congressional session record. Resolutions to name post offices, placing busts in libraries, 99% of her bills sent to committee to die a slow death. Wow!! I’m impressed, not!!
Bipartisan work? The Hildabeast voted for illegal immigrant amnesty, cutting off Iraq war funding, expanded health care, higher taxes, etc. I see nothing in her record that deviates from the Dhimmi party line.
Bill must be smoking pot again without inhaling, yeah, that’s it. …..;o)

Rush had a good point today - Hillary has criticized Obama for stating that his Senate experience as a reason he has the background to be President, so given Hillary’s experience this means that Laura Bush (and Nancy Reagan) are every bit as qualified to run on the GOP side as Hillary is to run as a Democrat.

DEZ: I would rather not waste the rocket fuel. Instead I’d rather watch her crash & burn on national TV, which she’s doing a pretty good job doing lately.
Maybe I’m being fooled, but, it is possible that Mrs. Clinton’s performance in the national spot light may become too painful to watch even for her detractors. Not that they aren’t planning for it in the hopes of getting a sympathetic hump - er - bump.

They certainly have ignored her record… and Bill’s record, too. They both should be indicted.
Even without the records, there’s enough floating around the blogosphere to show that these two care only about themselves and friends that remain loyal. “Oath of office? What oath of office? Bring on the cheerleaders!”

AMERICAN PERFECTIONN, the Hillary Clinton Story, takes us on a journey back in time; back to the early 1970s; a golden age of buckboards and buggy rides, when Jim Croce and The Carpenters were topping the charts, when TV was ruled by Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda, when Butch and Sundance filled our movie screens, back to that lost time when the nubile Hillary, with her big glasses and her weird monobrow, first met Bill, with his “Vikingesque” beard and his long, flowingesque hair, when the Futures of America first met and fell in love. Let’s listen in on “Bill and Hillary’s First Date”!
Rated “R” for Clinton-related innuendo and lurid imagery.
“Go on, Baby. Don’t be afraid. Touch it” coaxed Bill.
“Gee, I don’t know, Bill” said Hillary. “I’ve never even seen one of these before, not really. My parents are really strict about stuff like this”.
“That’s okay. I understand. If you don’t want to…”
“No! I do! I really want to – honest. You’ll just have to show me what to do”.
“Sure, honey” said Bill. “No problem. There’s a first time for all of us. Here; watch me. First you take it in your hand like this…”
“But it’s all hot and sticky!”
“Don’t worry. It’s supposed to be like that. Here - see what I’m doing? Can you do that?”
“Eoooww – it’s all slimey”.
“That’s how its supposed to be; don’t worry. Try pinching it between two fingers – like this”.
“I’ll try. Is this okay?”
“That’s good - that’s real good. You’re a natural, baby”.
“Now what?”
“Now you just put it in your mouth”.
“Huh? All of it?”
“No, no; just as much as you can handle. It’s not very big, anyway”.
“Are you sure? What’ll it taste like? Is it nice?”
“You’ll like it – I promise. I really like the taste myself, you know. Especially when it’s extra cheesy”.
“Well, okay. Here goes…”
“That’s great, honey. You’re doing real good, real good. Keep going…keep going”.
“Mmmmppphhhfff…”
And that’s how Bill taught Hillary to eat pizza with her fingers.
