They do seem to work well together, Bill Clinton and Rachael Ray. They have even joined forces, so to speak. Rachael opened wide the doors of opportunity, and Bill inserted his able assistance. It is a good cause, after all. What is more to the point, they come from a shared perspective. Bill was an overweight child due to a poor diet. As for Rachael, all you have to do is take a good look at her.
This slightly overweight brunette with the bubbly personality has a lot to offer. She is smart and talented, and though she is some thirty years or more Bill’s junior, they do seem well matched to do good works together.
Bill appeared on her show while Hillary was doubtless busy with her Senate duties, and while preparing her current run for the presidency, in April of 2007. Bill no doubt thought Hillary would quickly win the nomination. Hell, she was supposed to have it all sewn up by Super Tuesday. By the time the Iowa caucus was settled, however, it quickly became obvious things were not going quite exactly as planned.
Thanks to Barak Obama, Bill was obliged to become more involved in Hillary’s campaign than he might have initially planned to be, thereby interfering in the important work that he intended to perform. His work fighting childhood obesity by the side of the lovely and talented Ms. Ray would be one example of one duty he might have had to put on hold.
This of course might offer a valid explanation as to his ill temperament at certain times. This of course would be perfectly understandable. Hell, people-there are children to save. There are young people that need help. And, as we all know, when it comes to young people, Bill Clinton is a very passionate advocate, never wont to pass up an opportunity to fulfill their needs and desires.
Yeah, Bill got a little pissed off, but cut the guy some slack.
As for you, Rachael Ray, you hang in there, girlfriend. My, what a big, wide smile you have. That is just the kind of attitude you need to get through the hard times. While you can get a lot from your partnership with Bill, you certainly bring your own share of talents to bear. Of this, I have no doubt.
By the way, is that a “grease” stain on your leg?

You're hilarious.
Really? Actually, I was being quite serious. Sarcasm aside, I really think I might be on to something.
You're missing the fact that Bill Clinton's incendiary comments before the South Carolina primary galvanized the black vote against Hillary, and there was already a depressed Republican turnout caused by voters crossing the aisle in open primaries specifically to vote against Hillary.
Hillary's troubles at the polls are a result of Bill Clinton's perennial weakness - an inability to shut the fuck up.
Now the "Hillary was nominated in 1996" DemoKKKratic Leadership Kouncil super-delegate cross-burning pact is getting a hell of a lot more scrutiny than it usually would have.
If Hillary doesn't win, she'll take the party down with her.
But Hillary will win.
Obama isn't making any friends by dogging out the only potential friend in the delegate brokering smoking room he has - Al Gore, champion of NAFTA.
Beamish-

No, I didn't miss it, I pointed it out. Hell, it's practically the whole point of this post. That was one thing I was referring to by this-

etc. Bill Clinton is too gifted politically to risk tearing the Democratic Party apart like that, unless he was very disturbed about something. Think about it. They are both independently wealthy and powerful in their own right. It's not like they actually need the presidency.
Hillary Clinton has got a niche carved out as New York Senator, and could well be on the fast track to eventually becoming Democratic Senate Majority or Minority Leader some day.
Bill Clinton can easily live out the remainder of his life giving speeches at 500,000 dollars a pop and otherwise enjoying his status as Democratic Party elder statesman. They can both write books for multi-million dollar advance figures, or at least Bill can now that he is no longer an elected official. Maybe the rules have been changed so Hillary can too.
So, what is the big deal if she wins or loses? Why blow his stack over it if she doesn't win? I think he wants to keep her busy so he can pursue other endeavors. Not just Rachael Ray, of course, but come on. How obvious is this? Here his wife gets ready to run for the highest office in the land, and he manages to find the time to start a partnership with a tv food show hostess to "combat childhood obesity"-with a woman that fits a certain profile we have all come to associate with him?
Ask yourself how the media would respond if John McCane started the same kind of "partnership" with a woman who fit so closely the same profile as that female lobbyist the Times ran that story about. Shit, you'd know they'd be all over it like shit on stink, and there is not nowhere near the level of evidence of impropriety there. Yeah, it looks bad, but nothing like what happened with Clinton in the nineties.
I'm won over to her being White House chef, if she gets her picture in the paper more.
PT,
Look at Bill Clinton's "conquest gallery" - women he's actually put the moves on, to various degrees of success (and successful avoidance of prosecution).
Rachael Ray is so out of his league, and he knows it.
Bill Clinton is the guy that always leaves the bar last, usually alone, but every other time with Yoda's mom.
He'd get an ego rush out of peeking at dead titties in a morgue.
Ren-if she is White House chef, there's going to be a lot of cooking going on somebody better hope never hits the papers.

Yeah, let's look at one of those women. Let's look at one in particular by the name Monica Lewisnky. Now, let's put her side by side with Rachael Ray. Not much difference there as far as profiles go.
Now, you tell me-why does a man like Bill Clinton, a man who travels the world to "save the world" from one disaster after another, a man who can command hundred of thousands of dollars for one speaking engagement, a man who glories in raising money for first one major cause after another, a man with a fucking multi-million dollar foundation and presidential library-take the time out to appear on a second-rate at best daytime food show to promote a two-bit anti-obesity program for kids?
In the meantime, he does this in the middle of not only his own allegedly busy schedule, but while his wife is preparing to run for the presidency-an act, by the way, which one might assume would keep her potentially inordinately busy over the months ahead, in addition to her Senatorial duties.
You are trying to tell me he would not go for that? You are telling me that she would not at least be tempted to play along? Forget your feelings about him for the moment. Look at it from his perspective, and from that of Rachael Ray, a woman who is probably left-leaning anyway (if she has a political philosophy at all) given that she was discovered and promoted by Oprah Winfrey.
She might do it, in my opinion, if for no other reason than for the "generous donation" his foundation might end up giving to her own "good cause". You know, for "the good of the children".
Do me a favor. Go back over the post and click on the links, particularly the ones that lead to each of their foundations to combat childhood obesity, which is the alleged basis of their "partnership". You can't see the potential of a quid pro quo there? Or are you saying Bill Clinton is above that?
