A Free-Ass. ExclusiveNEW YORK -- In the post-election analyses, experts believe that Sen. Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic presidential nomination mostly because of her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Though his tirades against Vanity Fair reporters and his kinda-sorta, not-really-racist, because-Bill-is-supposed-to-be-black-too comparisons of Sen. Barack Obama to the Rev. Jesse Jackson didn't help, the issue became clear.
Bill Clinton simply couldn't bed uncommitted superdelegates fast enough.
"I slept with 286 superdelegates in 17 months, including Rep. Barney Frank [D-Mass.]," Bill Clinton said. "That's about 1.78 superdelegates per day, and when you're my age, you know what '.78' means."
Some attribute Hillary's loss to math and fair-and-square voting that put Obama over the top, but Bill says it was all him.
"It takes time to get these folks drunk and giggly and then coax them into your caravan of SUVs to do the 'Superdelegate Samba,' all while keeping the Secret Service and Hillary distracted."
Clinton has said he plans to take some time off before campaigning for Obama.
"If you thought superdelegates were hard to please, wait until you meet the electors who make up the Electoral College," he said. "I'll need Al Gore to go tag team with me."
