What Do You Think He Was About To Say?

10 Jan 2008 Author: dnA

Watch this clip. Notice the moment of hesitation that Bill has when listing qualities that he can’t “make” Hillary have.

I’m going to try something. I’m not going to say what I think he was about to say, but didn’t. What do you think he was about to say?

” … can’t make her younger, taller, [Blacker], male …”
Bubba and Hank have damn near lost it.

I’m surprised that little seems to be made of Bill Clinton calling a forty-six year old man a ‘kid’, especially when he was that age when running for president himself.
Unless ‘kid’ is another way of saying ‘boy’.

Donna Brazile called Bubba on his “kid” comment.

While it’s a fun game, that’s just a pause for comic timing.

Someone’s been taking political advice from Elizabeth Edwards, I see…

The veiled resentment of Obama’s blackness is something that I would expect from most Republicans. But it’s obviously a sentiment within the Democrat party, too.
Ironically, I quit the Democratic party because the party leaders constantly refused to get behind viable Black candidates for leadership positions. The Clintons and Edwardses pretty much reaffirm my decision.

You can’t make this shit up. Clearly Hillary Clinton’s supporters watch too many Black exploitation movies. First he was a drug dealer and now he’s a pimp.

he was going to say ‘optimistic,’ right? or maybe ‘likable.’ 0o0o0o, i know! i know!
bill clinton was about to say, “i can’t make hillary electable,” right? there are a lot of things bill can’t do, and among those are, he can’t make her optimistic, likeable or electable…

It’s obvious “black” is the word he is leaving out. He knows his audience will connect the dots, especially when the other dots he’s given them are “younger” and “taller.”
I mean come on, “taller?” Why would he choose that word if it weren’t to sketch a mental picture of Obama?

Criticizing Clinton for something he DIDN’T say? This is nonsense.
