I would totally be Bill's girl in the Chicago port. *sigh*

Like most Americans, I will never vote for any candidate who has ever had sex, or who knows anyone who has ever had sex.

I can't believe we are electing officials who even know what sex is! It's disgusting, that's what it is.

Oh, please. For this to be a big story, it would have to actually be surprising. Everyone already fucking knows that Bill's had some on the side.

My reaction to this is a little different. The idea that something like this could come out is terrifying for the simple reason that imagining Giuliani as the next president of the United States is terrifying. I just hope Bill Clinton isn't stupid enough to get caught. Again.

@4 and the rest of you scoffers - The big story will not be the fact that Bill is getting it on the side. The big stories (and there will be several of them) will be
- Which fat chick(s) he's doing it with.
- What sex acts were involved.
- What brands of cigars were involved.
- Which of the fat chick's ugly friends ratted him out using an illegal wiretap.
- What Hillary did or did not know.
- etc., etc., ad nauseum.

Never underestimate the American public's appetite for sleazy news.

@6 - I continue to scoff. It's just not going to surprise anyone. And I honestly don't even think the GOP will push this too far - the tsk-tsking over Clinton in 1998 backfired on them and led to Democratic gains in the election that year. They remember that.

(Besides, what if Giuliani wins the nom? Will the nation be more horrified by a first man they already knew had an affair, or a president who was having an affair in a bunker as NYC mayor on 9/12?)

Why does the MSM keep sitting on the Big Story about GWB being gay?

That's my question.

@8, I have been wondering about that too. And that they never explained who Jeff Gannon was doing in the White House.

But for those of you who think Karl Rove has vanished...think again. Him being out of the spotlight is perfect for him. It is far easier to steal and election if no one is watching you.

And the rumors about Hillary/Bill...this is why we have to nominate either Obama or Edwards.

hillary divorces bill -- good for her candidacy?

Hillary needs to overcome big-time "I would never vote for that person" numbers and so far she's been doing a great job of chipping away at these knee-jerk negatives.

The reason that this story would be bad is that it stirs up all the post-traumatic stress we all have from the impeachment days and it *will* have some negative impact on those "swing voters" who Hillary has been making progress with.

So Ruh Roh is right.

There's no way around it: with or without Karl Rove at the front of the scene, the next 12 months are going to suck.

How does his behavior reflect badly on her? If anything, she'll lock up the vote of women who have ever been cheated on.

Sorry, folks, but this is totally "ho-hum." I really don't think anyone who's on the fence about Hillary is going to change their vote because of who Bill's screwing. OK, so the folks who already hate Hillary will scream a little louder. So fucking what?

The GHOST of Karl doesnt haunt us, dears, cuz he ain't dead--he's quite alive and well and pulling strings from another undisclosed location. Hillarians keep touting about the "two-for-one" deal of Bill and Hillary, but the downside is twice the baggage comes with the deal, including Slick Willie's libidinous trail of "bimbo erruptions."

What? There are more Hillary's lover rumours? Why haven't there been more pictures on Slog?

I think a big, confirmed story about Bill's affairs would tank Hillary's bid for the nomination. Faced with the prospect of all that bullshit again, Obama and Edwards are going to look a whole lot better. Something along the lines of: "Well, we can go with more sex stories, or we can go with one of these two other guys, who are pretty much awesome too."

But if this story were to come out after Hillary snagged the nomination, then I don't think it would be such a big deal, especially if the big G is her opponent. Because we all know he's a scumbag too.

It's just more of what we already know. Bill likes his mistresses the same way he likes his Big Macs: fatty and one a month.

Dude!

Got a problem with fat chix??????

I'd take a robust, REAL woman any day, over your Twiggy, little girl wannabes.

Anybody who's into that shit, has always struck me as pedophilliac in some strange kind of way.

The grand irony here is that a Clinton win is going to help perpetuate the GOP moreso than a GOP win. There is no solid GOP candidate, even to help the GOP. Even the GOP will admit this.

Yawn... How about some real news for a change. Plus if they're going to run with the Hilary-gets-scumbagged (again!) story, I want equal dish on Guiliani's back door moves--you know the one's I'm talking about when he was "between" or "straddling" marriages, or however he thought of it in his rat-like mind. Oh, and would you mind sprinkling in a little discussion of why his kids think he's an asshole--always a bad harbinger for a future president. Kinda like when your boss' secretary (an total angel who somehow drifted down and got stuck on this shithole planet) casually mentions that your boss is a total asshole--not ever a good omen for office morale...
