Hillary Silences Bill

There’s no better way to prove a woman is ready to be President than to make her out to be a scolding nag:

Former US president Bill Clinton said Friday he has been ordered to hold his tongue by his wife Hillary for reviving an embarrassing story about her trip to Bosnia in 1996 while out campaigning. “Hillary called me and said ‘You don’t remember this. You weren’t there, let me handle it.’ I said, ‘Yes ma’am,” the grinning ex-president said during a campaign stop in Indiana, according to television pictures.

The piece goes on to describe the former president as “something of a liability.” Something of a liability? Like when Billy Carter was on Muammar Gaddafi’s payroll? Or when Spiro Agnew was collecting bribes in brown paper bags? A cottage industry analyzing the psychological dynamics in the Clinton marriage has grown to kudzu proportions. So take this as one more leaf on the vine: Any husband who grins while recounting a tongue-lashing from his wife–and you can only imagine the hell of a Hillary tongue-lashing–has something very devious up his sleeve.
