Hill Tells Bill to Shut Up

Somebody needs to do it:

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.

A series of gaffes have made Bill Clinton somewhat of a liability in his wife's campaign for the Democratic White House nomination.

And he put his foot in it again Thursday by raising the now-legendary story of how, as first lady, she had apparently landed in Bosnia under sniper fire.

Television footage last month debunked her claims, which Clinton used to emphasis her experience in comparison to rival Barack Obama, and her response that she had simply misspoke did little for her reputation.

Nancy Pelosi was asked about Clinton's comments:

The speaker's take: "I can't for the life of me figure out why the president would have said it except he may have been having a late-night adult moment, but let's leave it at that."

I still think Bill has a subconscious need to undermine her campaign. This won't be the last gaffe.
