Bill Clinton Rally's For Hillary at UT 2/27/08



The Bill Clinton for Hillary Rally was attacked by the Ron Paul Revolution. As Bill made his opening statements, a Ron Paul supporter behind the press riser spoke through a megaphone over Clinton's amplified voice.

“Clinton is a liar,” then something that sounded like “He gave all our money to China,” and, of course, “Ron Paul Revolution.”

That lasted a few minutes, and I could not see through the bank of cameras next me to report what happened to the one man "Ron Paul Revolution" and his megaphone, but no shots were fired. (You can hear the megaphone and the rest of the speech on this podcast.)


Bill had a red face and looked old. I guess I have an image of him from the 1990s and the Texas sun and the Starr Report aged him as much as the last eight years under Bush, particularly if he has considered how many votes his blow job cost Al Gore in 2000.

The vote in the primary was not the only concern—Hillary wants the superdelegates, so Bill asked that supporters go to their precinct and vote a second time on the caucus. It's legal and a bit weird, but he wants back in the White House.


Personally, I do not like Bill Clinton, or Hillary, but I find Bill to be an excellent speaker and I felt like voting for him after the rally. But he isn't running and I already voted early for Obama.


Talking about Hillary's work with children, Mr. Clinton spoke of stuff she did in the 1970s and how after work, she would describe to him things she ran across, like child abuse, where children have cigarette burns on their arms.


All I could think about was Bender, from “The Breakfast Club.”
“This is what you get when you spill paint in the Garage.”
