Gennifer Flowers Mulls Vote for Clinton

LAS VEGAS —

The one-time other woman in Hillary Rodham Clinton's life says she's considering casting her vote for the former first lady. "I can't help but want to support my own gender, and she's as experienced as any of the others _ except maybe Joe Biden," Gennifer Flowers said in a recent telephone interview from her home in Las Vegas.

Flowers said she is still undecided, supports abortion rights and has long wanted to see a woman in the White House.

"I would love to see a woman president, I just didn't think it would be her," Flowers said.

In the 1992 presidential race, the former television reporter claimed to have had a 12-year affair with then-candidate and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton. Clinton initially denied the allegation, but later, during his deposition in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, acknowledged a single sexual encounter with Flowers.

Today the media frenzy, the book tour and the Penthouse shoot is behind her. The defamation suit she once filed against Hillary Clinton was dismissed. The 57-year-old lounge singer says she plans to stay far away from presidential politics.

"I don't have any interest whatsoever in getting back out there and bashing Hillary Clinton," Flowers said.

That's not to say she isn't watching the race closely. Democratic Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, she said, is "smart, sexy and experienced." She liked Clinton's response to a question about immigration at a recent debate in Las Vegas ("I like the way she was so definite about it, the others are trying to play to the middle.")<snip>

2. No kidding.
Honestly, what's the point of her doing this...other than to get a little PR? Does Hillary need this? NO. And why the hell is the MSM giving her the time of day? Never mind. Don't answer that. I know why.:(

5. Awhile back I talked to some people who knew her when she was in Dallas.
Gold digger and party girl seemed to be the consensus.

6. Why is she a nut case?
It sounds like the media went to her, not her to it.

8. She and the media need and deserve each other.

She's been caught in lies-something the CNN story doesn't say. Pathetic in the extreme.

11. So has the eminent ex-President Bill Clinton
Edited on Fri Dec-07-07 01:31 PM by karynnj
My point was this story is written in such a way that it is very possible that the media went to her. Telling lies doesn't make anyone a "nut case." If we have to go back to the Clintons, can't we at least not pretend that he was innocent in all these cases. If Clinton simply admitted the truth immediately - not after there was no more spinning available the story would have been so much less.
