While defending Bill Clinton’s role in the passage of NAFTA, Paul Gipson, president of a steelworkers local, said that union members need to look forward, and support a leader who can work to amend and improve provisions in the trade agreement. Clinton, of course, doesn't drink lattes. She can't even operate a gas station coffee maker! Such things are women's work, after all. Watch the testicular and coffee videos, after the jump… |
» "Coot."
"Whether he was publicly comparing Barack Obama’s primary victory in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s campaigns in the eighties or privately, and apoplectically, complaining that Bill Richardson broke his word by endorsing Obama, every story has seemed to reinforce an image of [Bill] Clinton as a sort of ill-tempered coot driven a little mad by Obama’s success. 'I think this campaign has enraged him,' the adviser told me. 'He doesn’t like Obama.'” [New Yorker] |
» Coupling.
Human Rights Campaign will announce its Senatorial endorsements on Monday. Hillary Clinton supporter and former Bill staffer Paul Begala will join HRC staffer at the announcement, but HRC promises it is not yet endorsing a presidential candidate. Some say they don't need to… [PS: Why Paul Begala? Why not a gay person?] [US News] |

Oh, Bill, Bill, Bill. If you're going to tell someone they're misquoting you, make sure you're right. Reporter Mike Memoli caught up with Mr. Clinton today in Pennsylvania and asked him about his remark that Obama played the "race card" after the Jesse Jackson debacle last January. And, like Hillary's Bosnia memory, Bill's remains a bit hazy. |

Outsports: Few athletes seem to embrace social activism. Why do you think that is? We're going to indulge our cynicism and put more weight on the endorsement side. |
» Rich Release.
Hillary Clinton's campaign just released seven years worth of the candidate and Bill Clinton's joint income tax returns. They're sitting on over $100 million. President Clinton's speech schedule brought in 51,855,599, while his book earned them $29,580,525. Hillary's own tome came in at $10,457,083. [Hillary Clinton] |

Former President Clinton claimed that Richardson told him "five times" that he wouldn't back Obama, but Richardson says otherwise: "I never saw [Clinton] five times. I saw him when he watched the Super Bowl with me. We made it very clear to him that he shouldn't expect an endorsement after that meeting." Richardson also tells CNN that he had considered going out for Hillary, but changed his mind once "the campaign got nasty." |
» Blow-Up.
Former President Bill Clinton went ape shit on Bill Richardson during a meeting with California's superdelegates last weekend. Clinton apparently doesn't appreciate administration ally Richardson's Barack Obama endorsement: "It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade. 'Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that,' a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted." [SF Chronicle] |

Don't fuck with Chelsea Clinton! The 28-year old got feisty when a Butler University student asked whether Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky hurt her mother's credibility, particularly when Hillary defended her husband against a "right wing conspiracy," which turned out to be Lewinsky's lips. Chelsea was not impressed by the off-color, meaningless question: "Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business." She then lunged at the man, tore out his throat with her teeth and feasted on his soul. Okay, that didn't happen, but you can tell Chelsea's thinking about it. |

» Under Her Nose.
Hillary Clinton was in the White House when former President Bill Clinton started his affair with Monica Lewinsky, according to recently released archives. Oh, and a cursory examination shows less prominent role in Clinton administration than rhetoric suggests. [Guardian] |
