I really can’t find a way to improve on the raw news coverage, since I’m too busy rubbing my eyes in that Jon Stewart Daily Show fashion that you all know so well.
So here it is, from London’s Independent. Prepare to spit out your drink.
Bill Clinton made a plea yesterday for a new emphasis on monogamy as a key element in the battle against AIDS.
The former US president, not noted for his ability to keep his own marriage vows, said it was very important to change people’s attitudes to sex.
In an interview with the BBC recorded in Africa, Mr Clinton said that increasing support for monogamy was not just a problem for the continent worst hit by AIDS but for the world.
“To pretend we can ever get hold of this without dealing with that – the idea of unprotected sexual relations with unlimited numbers of partners – I think would be naïve,” he said.
Oh.
My.
God.
Obviously, oral sex isn’t CHEATING because it isn’t really sex. And maybe that Paula woman was with Hill’s consent. That’s not cheating, either. Really, what IS monogamy?
seriously, I can’t think of a more perfect deceiver story.
At the very least he can’t take a holier than thou attitude about it…
This is the perfect case of “Open Mouth, Insert foot” that I have seen for a long time…
I’m still laughing. Oh. My. God. … sums it up very well.
ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa omg is right! too good!
I already spit out my drink thanks to the picture.
Is there a “Deceiver of the Year” competition because I think we’ve found the winner.
This is AWESOME!!
I love it!
“I really can’t find a way to improve on the raw news coverage, since I’m too busy rubbing my eyes in that Jon Stewart Daily Show fashion that you all know so well.”
It seems to be a shared impulse. I kinda did the same thing.
And then after that picture finally loaded, I scrubbed my eyes with bleach …
Good Gawd! What a way to start the day - pass the eye bleach please.
Bill Clinton is watching you…*shudders*
Ha Clinton. Well if you can’t laugh at yourself…..
Hey cindy, what if your boyfriend performed oral sex on another girl? I bet you’d think it was cheating then.
I bet he’d be thrilled to find out that you don’t think oral sex isn’t cheating. I know I would be. Maybe you could talk to my girlfriend? Thanks!
I keep looking for the asterisk but they must have typo’d and left it out of the original story.
For example:
*unless you are the President of the U.S. and like chubby girls who give good head.
Sure he’s been monogamous, just not with his wife ;).
bahaha. what a creepster.
@ Aleric
Not once did I read anywhere that any of the women he’s been with have given good head. Let’s not go making assumptions just because he was the President.
Hopefully my computer’s still working after my spit-take. If AIDS can’t be transmitted on the end of a cigar then technically Clinton is only a hypocrite regarding monogamy. Of course this depends on what the definition of “is” is. Man, I can really spew this crap. Maybe I have a future in presidential PR.
This is nothing new, if you look back at what he has said in the past he has often said things that contradict his own actions:
“I think the country could be spared a lot of agony and the government could worry about inflation and a lot of other problems if [Nixon would] go on and resign. [There is] no question that an admission of making false statements to government officials and interfering with the FBI and the CIA is an impeachable offense.” — Bill Clinton on Richard Nixon in 1974
“The other thing we have to do is to take seriously the role in this problem of…older men who prey on underage women… There are consequences to decisions and…one way or the other, people always wind up being held accountable” — Bill Clinton on teen pregnancy in 1996
“I ask that all Americans demonstrate in their personal and public lives…the high ethical standards that are essential to good character and to the continued success of our Nation — Bill Clinton in 1997 during National Character Counts Week.
“The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth” — Bill Clinton in 1995
“There’s just no such thing as truth when it comes to him. He just says whatever sounds good and worries about it after the election” — Bill Clinton on George Bush during the 1992 election
“No wonder Americans hate politics when, year in and year out, they hear politicians make promises that won’t come true because they don’t even mean them - campaign fantasies that win elections but don’t get nations moving again” — Bill Clinton during the 1992 election
“It is wrong to raise money on the promise of guaranteeing specific kinds of access. That is wrong and we have stopped that” — Bill Clinton, 1995
“The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people” — Bill Clinton 1993 on MTV
“We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans” — Bill Clinton in 1993 from USA Today
You know the one thing that’s wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say.” — Bill Clinton in 1993, Philadeplphia
