Sarah Palin's powerful "First Dude"

    Hootowl is a One Trick Pony

    And she does not love her country. She is willing to flush her country down the toilet in a fit of pique over not getting what she wants.

    Hootowl - I'll ask you again - 4th time now. What about Bill? You never answer, leaving me no other choice than to speculate why. You don't have an answer. Bill Clinton was the big fucking elephant in the room of Hilary's campaign and no one ever wants to discuss that. You think the rethugs are ramping up to eat Obama alive? This is a walk in the park compared to what they would have done to Clinton. Do you really, really think Bill has been a good boy the past 8 years? That's all it would have taken to sink Hilary in the GE.

    So please, spare us the continual Hilary rants. You are starting sound deranged. You remind me of a character in Mariyln French's story "The Women's Room."

    You think Sarah Palin has done anything for you? You think she's going to do something for women if she is elected? Oh yeah, she's going to do something all right. She's going to set women back 40 years. Her incompetence and ineptitude will only make it harder for truly competent women to be elected.

    Answer the question or shut up - What about Bill?
