Hillary Clinton: '60...Tired at 3 a.m.

[fedupinBushcountry]

First the Clinton campaign ran the now-famous “3 a.m. phone call’’ ad asking voters in Texas who they want to answer the phone in the White House in the middle of the night when a crisis is brewing.

Now Bill Clinton, former president, says his wife, candidate for president and senator from New York, should be excused for overstating the circumstances of her now-famous landing in Bosnia (hold the sniper fire) because she had spoken late at night and she’s – well – 60.

“Some of them, when they’re 60, they’ll forget something when they’re tired at 11 o'clock at night, too,’’ Bill Clinton said this week of Hillary Clinton’s comment.

The only trouble is, the senator had given this same account of a sniper-fire landing a few times, and not always late at night. The further trouble is that, once again, the former president has succeeded in stirring up controversy for his wife at a critical time in her presidential campaign – within two weeks of a Pennsylvania primary critical to her chances.

“Now I say that because, what really has mattered is that even then she was interested in our troops,’’ he said, “And I think she was the first first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to go into a combat zone. And you woulda thought, you know, that she’d robbed a bank the way they carried on about this. And some of them, when they’re 60, they’ll forget something when they’re tired at 11 at night, too.’’

5. Some people say that Bill Clinton is secretly working for Obama

How else to explain how this brilliant political mind can seemingly not avoid tripping over his own hoohah and making his wife look like a damn fool.

7. Or, he has repressed his intense hatred of her for years

and is unleashing it now at the moment when it's most damaging...
