Clinton Says She Can Control Her Husband

Clinton Says She Can Control Her Husband

January 30, 2008

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Senator Hillary Clinton, in an interview with ABC News' Cynthia McFadden for ABC News' Nightline, was asked about President Clinton’s controversial comments about race and Senator Obama in the past weeks. Clinton apologized for her husband.

“I think whatever he said which was certainly never intended to cause any kind of offense to anyone,” Clinton said, “if it did give offenses then I take responsibility and I’m sorry about that.”

"Can you control him?" asked McFadden.

“Oh of course,” Clinton replied.

1. Well, good luck to her and the Cubbies
because none of the rest of us ever could.

Not that they could really control us, either.

35. Why would she want to control her husband
He knew what was going on in S.C. long before the vote and told it like it was.. Obama and his wife tiped the voters on how to vote and then called it racist.. I beg your pardon..Obama wasn't promise the rose garden.

20. Wow, personal attacks.
Where did you learn those? Karl Rove?

He seems to be your inspiration in attacking Senator Clinton.

You do enjoy his tactics of attack.

22. I guess if every other thread wasn't an attack on Clinton, her supporters wouldn't attack you.
Just a thought.

10. It's possible to visualize a scenario
whereby she has to make a decision whether or not to pardon him after his indictment and conviction on corruption charges. That'd be one way to control him.

11. and if a Dem was asked if he could control his wife ...
imagine the firestorm ...

Of course, the media won't ask Repukes if they can control their wives ... didn't work too well for my brother ... I've been married almost 18 years now ... my brother was married a year after I was, and signed the divorce papers in December 2007 ...

31. So?
I know Biden called Michigan a beauty contest.
What does that have to do with anything?

I don't understand your random response to me telling you that Kerry was on Msnbc:shrug:

And fyi - you seem to think I am a Hillary supporter.
I'm not. I am undecided, and hoping that tonite's debate will help me decide...because Feb 5th is right around the corner.
I was planning on voting for Biden, but he has asked his supporters not to do that. I have major issues with both Hillary and Obama, and it's hard. Right now I am leaning towards Hillary - but 2 days ago I was leaning towards Obama.
Regardless, I will support whoever wins the nom.

To quote you: "What does that have to do with anything?"

37. Bad answer - Why didn't she defend him and say that she would not presume to control him.
I would be offended had JRE claimed he "controlled" EE or BO claimed he "controlled" Michelle. Imagine Bill Clinton saying in 1992 that he had HRC in control.

This was an awful question.
