Pelosi on Bill Clinton’s Error-Riddled Excuse: a ‘Late-Night Adult Moment’

pelosi you will no longer speaker. behave like speaker of the party

Harsh? She could have just said he was a liar.

“a late night adult moment”?
And I always thought he did the interns in broad daylight…

I’d call it a very diplomatic remark when in fact she talking about lying, lying, and lying again.
It is the lying itself that is harsh for a former President.

Poor old Nancy, she can’t help what she says. She’s had so much plastic surgery her ass cheeks are now on her face!

Talk about a bad choice of words: “A late at night adult moment…” Yeah, Bill had plenty of those! Please God, don’t let this man NEAR the White House!!!

It is not very nice to call a nice lady like Nancy Pelosi stupid. but she is stupid.

I have a thought and would appreciate some feedback from all of you.
Why is Hillary up so late at night (3 A.M.) all of the time? Doesn’t she realize that sleep deprivation can have devastating effects on the human body? It can even lead some to believe that they’ve done or said things that have never happened!
Is it possible that she’s gotten so used to waiting up at night for Bill to come home (1992-2000) and then confront him with:
“Allright… Now where the *HELL* have you been???”, that she can no longer sleep normal hours?
My advice for the good lady would be: Get some sleep!

Did she mean Senior Moment. An adult moment would be what Bill had with Monica

Uhhh Sonia Trevino———————- I agree with Pelosi. As much as I despise Bush, you do not impeach a President for political differences. That would serve to undermine our democracy and what the constitution stands for. Bush may be a horrible President, but he is not negligent. Pelosi knows that and in a time of war, it would put our Country in a constitutional crisis. Also, remember that if Bush is impeached, Cheney, a more worse of a person, would be President. Come on, think it through.

“Will you roll on anyone and smear them in mud if they don’t support your candidate?”
And then you may not have seen what people are posting on the Hillary forums out there yet. It is truly terrible.
EVERYONE who supports Barack Obama gets personally smeared, so yes, including people like Kennedy or Kerry who fought so hard for a Democratic agenda for the USA. It’s incredible and very confusing: really a LOT of Hillary’s supporters do not seem to care one bit about the actual and urgent issues these elections are about, they ONLY care about Hillary as their Great American Idol.
That’s why many of these supporters might indeed vote FOR the war in Iraq and AGAINST universal health care if Obama wins the nomination… SHE was entitled to the throne, and Obama had the brutality to spoil the coronation festivities… That’s how they think. America’s problems have NOTHING to do with it. These folks, in Hillary’s official blog for instance, NEVER discuss the issues but they all agree that Obama is unfit and “too inexperienced” to tackle them – even when a majority of Hillary’s fellow Senators are clearly telling them otherwise. They know it better! for Hillary is their girl!
It’s… I can’t find a word for it.

Pelosi sure is getting a lot of press play with this election…Has anyone asked her why her approval ratings are lower than Bushes?

Sonia Trevino
Just relax, pretty soon Bushie Boy and all of his silly little friends will be gone and we will have one of our excellent two contenders as President when we are all united in November.

I cannot understand why people are defending Bill and Hillary Clinton. Both are very close to be caller pathological liars. When N. P. called his lie which was supposed to defend Hillary’s lie an “adult moment” I find this specially diplomatic. I think talking about Bill Clinton she used “adult moment” instead of “senior moment” on purpose. Covers his personality pretty well.

Bills comments & Nancys comments are to prove apoint. The media will take it & spin it & try to max it out. Cause it had to do with the Clintons. But take the real appalling stuff Obama says & does & they hardly touch on it briefly.

Klaus….just like Obama is a media invention to a large extent….the demonization of the Clinton’s is as well.
Bill Clinton was the only Democratic President that served America in the last 30 years (after 1 term for Carter) He ran a balanced budget and created jobs. He was able to come a long way with civil rights and enforcement of Federal Equal Opportunity laws. He took the guns out of the hands of children while leaving them in the hands of adults…..he had an amazing record on the environment….he developed in his administration a policy of keeping terrorists at bay and had to fight the Republicans to enforce it…he was instrumental in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and many other things.
Did he sleep around? yes! Was he prosecuted and investigated by Republicans all the time he was in office? yes…Do politicians exaggerate? yes
The demonization of Hillary as a media exercise and campaign tactic is a disgrace.

JACKIE, AMEN!!!!
AND GOD BLESS BILL CLINTON TOO.
THANKS TO BILL CLINTON, WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE MISSING.

PELOSI IS JEALOUS OF HILLARY CLINTON.
IF SHE RUNS FOR PRESIDENT
SHE WILL BE BOOED OUT OF TOWN.

I think she is being nice. She could have said nastier thing like ‘senior moment’.

This is said being NO fan of Pelosi:
You shouldn’t be giving Bill Clinton a pass on how people should treat him based solely on his past president status. He set that position aside when he went on the campaign trail for his wife.
He doesn’t get to get out from under criticism simply because of his former position.

I guess Nancy Pelosi is talking about something she knows about first hand!
Senior moments… she is way older than Bill Clinton! She’s 70! Time to retire Nancy! The new generation of democrats are coming to town. Pelosi should go go before Bush! Since they both have the same approval ratings. She’s done nothing for democrats, other than drag them in the gutter with her, “but let’s leave it at that!”

I think Pelosi knew the time and saying that was just a swipe at Billy not only for his newly minted lies about the fake claims about her Bosnia trip, but also his claims that the false story took place at 11 pm and his poor 60 year old wife was too fatigued to understand what was going on around her… it did not take place at night, she repeated it at least four times over a period of time, and she did not correct it or apologize immediately as Billy’s new lies would have us believe about the old lies.
Pelosi is older than Clinton and it is reasonably for her to take offense at Billy characterization of an elderly woman too tire at 11 pm to know what is going on, and she should be forget for being feeble, since she is old and tired.
Good for Pelosi, she should be this tough on Bush and Cheney.
It one likes to be lied to, vote Clinton, lies and then lies excusing lies…beautiful…

Former Pres. Clinton said a few days ago that a presidential candidate should be able to take the heat of the press and if they can’t they are in the wrong business and then he goes and whines about how the press is treating his wife. If she is as tough as he claims then stop complaining and srop all the sniping and get to the issues. Bill went out and lied, I’m sorry misspoke about Hillary misspeaking on the Bosnia trip. If it was 11pm and she was tired what about the other times when she told the same story and it wasn’t 11pm? And if she gets that confused at 11pm how do we know she will be any better at 3am when the phone rings? Bill needs to let sleeping dogs lie. If a topic has left the spotlight let it stay out of the spotlight.

Instead of jumping on Pelosi, you need to be jumping on those lying Clintons. Lying is ALL they know,the both of them will be lying in hell telling the same lies to Satan. “I shouldn’t be here, I’ve served my time in Hell while taking Sniper Fire. Yeah she was dodging bullets at 3 a.m. and I didn’t have sex with that woman. Let me handle this, I can’t get you into Heaven. Oh Bill Shut up!”

Who cares what Jake and Bill says? Certainly not intelligent people!

Democrats need to remember that President Bush and his Republican enablers are the cause of of our current
mess. Quit all this internal spatting and elect Nancy plenty help this fall.

Tapper after your I THINK Obama lied to me article…you are hardly the person to be taking shots at anybody. Folks, if you have bought the farm that Bill Clinton wants Hillary Clinton to be the next President, then that island in NY is for sale for $1.95. There is nothing in this man’s history with this wife that leads me to believe that he wants her to replicate the most significant achievement of his life. It amazes me that the media continues to see his supposed gaffes’ as some sort of accidental mishap. Smart people don’t get dumb overnight. In the case of the former President, I don’t believe for a moment he doesn’t know what he is doing every moment. The man has nothing if he does not have an ego.

You,Go Nancy! Bill and Hill are condescending elitist who parade as working class advocates. PHONIES!!!

Two things everyone is forgetting, in the recent Clinton wars (“does Bill Richardson OWE Hillary her support?” “Is he being a traitorous Judas for not giving it?”, etc.) is, and allow me to be the first to bring this name up; RON BROWN.
Long before Bill Clinton won the Dem. primary in 1992, RON BROWN had the DLC oiled, polished, and running in top form. He had, by himself, UNITED the lefty/liberal wing of the party (example, the poor neighborhood minority voters who wanted welfare or at least more health care for children) with the high & mighty “liberal intelligenstia” wing of the party – the Hollywood celebs, the billionaires, etc. Ron and Bill got along famously (vs their common foe, BushSr. Republicans who had bankupted America with the S&L debacle), and not only did Ron present Bill with the mighty DNC campaign machine, which would become the basis of Clinton’s “War Room” winning campaign, but Ron helped winnow out the chaff in Bill’s primary campaign.
Then, in 2000, we get one of the great betrayals in American history: NOT ONE Dem Senator would sign on to the SIMPLE Congressional Black Caucus request for a SIMPLE congressional investigation into (massive) voter disenfranchisement in Florida (at the hands of Katherine Harris and the Republican candidate’s OWN BROTHER, Jeb Bush!)
This FAILURE of FIFTY Democratic Senators to SUPPORT THEIR one of their CAREER, CORE CONSTITUECIES, was simply disgraceful. In a word, the Democrat senators were INTIMIDATED by the Right-Wing mob that had impeached Bill Clinton over “Monica – Did she, or Didn’t She?”, but only after Ken Starr had to quit his $70 million “whitewater” investigation in failure. (Remember the hounding Repubs gave starr to come back to his “independet counsel” job?)
Hillary was not in the senate for that great, disgraceful roll call.. but what has SHE done for minority voters DISENFRANCHISED in 2000 (and 2004) since then?
The notion that ANY Dem. interest group OWES Mrs. Clinton their primary vote is absurd. If women, immigrants, minorities, union workers, single moms, or any other Democrats want to vote for Hillary, that is of course their business and their right. But for any of the Dems who were in the Senate in 2000 (or thereafter) to imply that anyone OWES them a vote, is simply absurd.
Ron Brown and the Black Congressional Caucus helped put Bill Clinton in the White House in 1992, and today, no one even remembers his name!
(Much less expresses an appreciation for their efforts back then.)

I agree. I WAS kind of a harsh thing to say about a former president. On the other hand, Bill’s been asking for it. So good for Nancy Pelosi.

I rarely agree with Nancy Pelosi but her
comments on Bill Clinton are right on!
What is “harsh” about the truth,
something the Clintons know very
little about!
I will admit that the Clintons are a perfect match!
Hillary is Pinnochio and Bill is
Joe Isuzu! LOL!

Somehow, deep down or perhaps closer to the surface, looks more and more that Bill does NOT REALLY, REALLY want Hillary to succeed at becoming that REALLY BIG HISTORICAL First Fem CIC !! Perhaps his ego is just TOO fragile , for he surely would indeed become more a FOOTNOTE to her in “history” !! The guy is supposedly credited with being THE MOST political savvy/experienced and etc and yet ?

What exactly is a late night adult moment in the context of a lie? I don’t get it.

PELOSI, DEAN AND OBAMA ARE DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Having been born in the segregated South, I have come to understand racism. Sometimes it is overt; more often nowadays it is covert. It is my belief that Obama is a racist: he continues to resent his mother’s race (his words from his book). Such a man or woman is not fit to be president, period.
Obama is a fraud. He is a slick corrupt politician from Chicago. He is an elitist, a racist and a socialist.
His followers cling to ‘hope’ and ‘change’ as actual reasons to vote for him, while continuing to convince themselves that the fantasy of who they want Obama to be still exists.
The problem is: Obama is the ‘dream’ of the politically correct crowd and they will just ignore anything that gets in the way of the fairy tale.
Obama could butcher a kitten on the White House lawn and the media would make it sound like a good thing!
NO OBAMA IN 2008! HE HAS TOLD TOO MANY LIES!

I have been through a lot of election primaries. I think this is the nastiest one I have ever seen, with the most undeserving individuals. McCain is the only possible fit choice. His integrity and honesty and loyalty to country is well-known.

Obama is an ELITIST.
If Obama wins the dem. nom., he will be another Al Gore, and John Kerry. Two prominant democrats who couldn’t win the White House.
We need a Clinton. The Clinton brand is a winning brand. Clintons won the White House, and they won over and over against the republicans, and embarrassed the republicans consistantly & effectively. Wake up Democrats!!!! Obama is going down in the general. Hillary is our only hope to get the white house back! Never underestimate a Clinton!

The Clintons are pathological liars – they’ve been doing it for so long they no longer even realize they’re lying.
Liars for President and Next President?
I don’t think so – enough is enough !!

McCain, who is severely mentally chalanged,and Hillary the Liar,are both certified AIPAC stooges, who will guarantee us eternal wars and agressions in case we don’t collapse economically, before.
I’ve been a lifelong Goldwater and Reagan conservative republican but I’m throwing in the towel.
I am going to vote for Obama who, besides being far more intelligent than those two, is also our only hope we will become a peacefull and respected country.
(I am also a White, you know, of that superior race that has given us Clintons ,Bushes and the demented McCain)

To all you Clinton supporters. I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but it’s over. Obama’s won. To win the nomination, they would have convince the remaining superdelagates to steal the election from trom the people. It’s not going to happen. The Convention would tear itself apart. Maybe there’s a deseted Island somewhere the Clinton’s could buy, and Queen Hillary could take her rightful place at the throne. Then everyone would be happy.

Ummm… Pelosi’s comments are actually kind of clever. She is referring to Bill’s explanation of Hillary’s Bosnia fable as “a late night senior moment.”
I actually credit her with a degree of wit on this. I think most commentors here have lost their marbles.

PELOSI, REID, DEAN, KENNEDY, KERRY AND OBAMA HAVE DESTROYED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

The lameness in reading some of Hillary’s supporters are so pathetic.
Bringing up the Word Elitest when your candidate made 109mm cashing in on the white house and another 500mm to charities
they control.
when Obama was raised by his mother and later his grand parents out of an apartment in Hawaii and had to earn scholarships by working his butt off getting up at 4am for extra school by his mom.
that’s rediculous
you leming’s hear Hillary use the word elitest and hours later your using the same word and you have not even read the
transcript in which he was responding to a question wondering if they Pennsylvania small towns weren’t voting for him because he was black
and he was saying it was these other issues
which they are all true

I think the timing of the Obama comments was to deflect what Bill Clinton said about his wife and Bosnia. He also misstated some things on this topic. Notice how the attention went to the Obama comments that occured last week? Great timing for the Clinton’s to get the subject off them. I wish they would both shut up.

Please, no Bill or Hillary in the White House again. Either one may have a senior moment and press the wrong button at 3 am, thus blowing up the world.
And she, of all people should talk about being elitist. She is so full of S— when she talks about being sympatico with the white working class.
I am an older white woman and I would NEVER vote for her!!!!!!!!!
Obama has more brains and heart and vision than Bill or Hillary put together.

Three things I always want; my doctor, my lawyer, and my president smarter than me. That’s not the case now. Think about you?
Now let me add to that my speaker of the house…boomslacalacka

It seems like Obama is now out for good. Let’s face it, we will have Hillary as the president, Bill as the first husband, and thousands years of peace. Maybe not, I cannot guarantee thousands years of peace, because we will still have the Republicans.

While Hillary Clinton is looking for a silver bullet, her husband Bill Clinton is looking for the next Silver BLUE DRESS! Hillary is a liar , just like her husband. If she is too tired to answer the phone at 3 a.m. after another sniper fire incident , how will Bill be occupying his time? Looking for another intern??? No thanks, she cannot and refuses to manage her own house yet alone the White House.
You guys need to get a grip! So what Obama said some voters are bitter, that is the truth and all Americans should be bitter regarding the way our government is and has been governed. I am bitter . Move on and stop beating a dead horse to death.

Stop talking about Bill’s lying! There are much more newsworthy stories such as the one about Obama saying that people are disenchanted and frustrated with their dishonest politicians. Can you believe the audacity? Doesn’t Obama know it’s immoral to speak of another’s righteous anger? Bill should crucify him personally.

Nancy Pelosi? I once hoped she would do something for the country, yet still waiting for the petition to impeach Bush and Cheney to be even considered by her. Envy, that’s the word, I believe she can’t take the fact that Hillary can be president. So please, Ms. Pelosi, stop criticizing when you haven’t done your job correctly

Those of you who have made the Clintons your God are so out of step with reality! Nancy Pelosi has no reason to be jealous of Hillary. Hillary makes up war stories, rides on the coattails of a man who can’t keep his britches up, supported NAFTA all the way and even let the health care program go at the time to do so and makes deals with Columbia through her husband! John McCain’s age and Obama’s speeches that are blown way out of proportion can’t even hold a candle to the Clinton’s lies and corruption!

Hi Eric,
You ARE right….some really senior commentators over here have lost their marbles on the Pelosi statement and them going haywire over that statement.
Bill is also senior in a late night yawn so he probably misspoke…or sleptwalked! LOL.
EAST COAST AND VERY CONCERNED IS ONE AND THE SAME PERSON rooting for the very silly Ms. Hillary. You’d just have to look at her face lately…more meek she knows the gauntlet would come soon.
Amen to that.

Either Bill Clinton lied, or he was having a senile-type senior moment. I think it’s obvious he lied. Pelosi was saying the politic thing, implying he made a mistake rather than lied, however she still gets a dig in: If he didn’t lie, then he’s old and losing it. (In other words, for Clinton it’s late in the day, even if it’s only 3PM.) Yeah, we all know the truth is Bill Clinton was lying.

I am surprised the Polosi opinion matters to anyone. You are right about her trying to stay in the Speakers house, so she is backing a person whom she thinks she can impress (due to lack of experience), as she obviously has failed at the job. Too bad, as I had high hopes for her.
I guess it takes one inexperienced person to know another.
The important part of that incident was completely lost. Why every one was fact checking, you completely lost track of the fact that a young lady died and so did her child, and that something is wrong with our medical care system.
WHO IN THE HELL CARES IF BILL OR HILLARY GOT THE AEXACTLY FACTS RIGHT (it was second and third hand information), THE POINT REMAINS. Two people who should be alive today, are dead.
POLOSI, do you think you can concentrate on that, and not trying to hoodwink Obama into keeping your job.
PLEASE CALIFORNIA, PLEASE DON’T RE ELECT HER.

Am I the only one who is recognizing the possibility that Bill Clinton may well be intentionally sabotaging his wife’s campaign?
Think about it – this is a guy who is very proud of the legacy he left for the country. If his wife wins the nomination or the election – by being the first Woman president – in his mind, she could eclipse his presidency.
The man – in some psychological profiler’s eyes my be viewed as narcissistic when he cheated on his wife in the windowless corridor – it was an at many would say was about arrogant flaunting of power in the face of his wife.
Who is to say that what he’s doing now – making a lot of noise about the Bosnia thing – long after it had been set aside… getting visibly angry about Obama’s successes after the last round of routings in the primaries.
If we’re all cringing hoping someone sends him a message to shut up – and if he’s notoriously a BRILLIANT campaigner – why would he drop the ball on his wife’s campaign unless perhaps somewhere underneath – he wants her to do well but never better than him?
He was better on the stump when she was running for state Senator… has been quoted before she announced her candidacy as saying “my job is to stay out of her way”…
I suspect he knows exactly what he’s doing – and he’s sending a subliminal message to voters… “If she can’t control her husband, what kind of management skills will she have as commander in chief?”
I am saying it loud and clear – Bill Clinton is intentionally trying to sabotage his wife’s campaign. There’s too much at stake with his legacy.
Listen carefully to him – see if you agree for yourselves.
I’ll sit here highly amused.

Pelosi is a complete idiot and does everything for her political gain, she is a complete idiot.
All of these biased people for obama are such a turn off to the election process, definitely not a motivator. It is disgusting how these obama people are acting, it is getting cult like and frankly just like the Bush people in 2000.
Politics are politics and outright fruad, lies and misrepresentations of propaganda are just that even when they are not reported as such.
Obama is riding a false wave and I would never support something so irresponsible and shallow.
It is just as sad as the GOP.
As an african American I am insulted by the deplorable tactics of the race card for obama, just because I am black does not mean I do not have a brain and or have to vote for obama cuz he is black.
He is whiter than colin powell. and about as honest since EVERYONE voted for the war because Colin said we had to go and lost all his cred on lying at the UN, you all have such conveniently short memories. Obama could not vote HE WAS NOT A SENATOR.

I agree with Henparty. Bill must be purposely trying to sabotage Hillary’s candidacy. He might be a lot of things, but dumb has never been one of them.

I’ve thought about the possibility that Bill was trying to sabotage Hillary’s campaign, but dismissed it because Hillary herself has done so many things to sabotage it! It seems to be a trait of the two, not just of Bill.

I think Bill needs to just stick to the issues and shut up when it comes to everything else.

Jake, after reveling in your scoop about Slick Hillie’s brilliant riff on the meaning of “is” in Oregon, when she claimed to be against the war before Obama, because he wasn’t sworn in as a Senator when he spoke against the war, I’m feeling let down by your Pelosi story. At least you could have said something sparkling like, “Hmm, late night coming earlier to him [or the Dems, or his kind of Dem] these days?”
