Bill, you gotta slow down !



<snip>
Former President Bill Clinton struck a pose with a duo of porn stars and another buxom blonde this week while attending an extravagant gala at a Monte Carlo casino.

Brooklyn Lee, recipient of Adult Video News' "Best New Starlet" award -- seen on the right -- tweeted the following picture.

and since he no longer is in office, people accept him for what he is....a cad.

Seriously, I don't think this hurts the Party at all. And it doesn't hurt Bill Clinton either. His popularity is running somewhere like 65-70%...

Now that he is older, it is rather endearing to a lot of folks, even Republicans.

I can't imagine that he has endeared himself to the SOS. To me he looks like a guy whose time has past and it's creepy. What would we think if the wife of a SOS had her picture taken with the Chipindales (or whatever their name is)?

does anyone think it hurts Hillary?
or is she long past over any of it anymore?

Chelsea?

I dunnno. I think it just continues to brand him with the 'dirty old man' label and is perhaps a bit unbecoming of a former President to be posing with porn stars at all.

Just my own opinion.

They probably paid big bucks to get a picture taken with him.

He probably also didn't know the ones on the right and left were pornstars. I didn't. the one on the far left is an executive. (medical, not porn)

I also doubt they put 'pornstar' on their table card.

on the other hand, if they didn't pay money, and he knew they were pornstars, my opinion would be the same as yours.

reaction to that picture. I am a democrat till I die but I'm wondering what fence sitters will think when they hear Bill pushing Obama's candidacy after a picture like that. I also immediately thought of Hillary. Here is a woman who has travelled the globe for her country, has been effective, dignified and there is her spouse posing with these women. To me, it is an insult to her. All in all, it's just crappy to me and it's sad.

Or because they are pornstars?

Looks like it was a charity event, one of the girls wasn't a pornstar. far left

So as I figure it, at these things you pay big money to get a picture. I doubt he was just passing by. (actually it was for his charity, so he wasn't)

Should he have refused? And what if he didn't know they were pornstars? I didn't.

So the only real option left to him is to not get any picture taken with a woman attractive enough to be a pornstar, unless he knows who she is, and what she does for a living.

(btw I really doubt they put 'pornstar' on the little table card)

Apparently, porn stars are not people. They are objects. Or at least this is what I'm told us men are supposed to think of them. I've learned this at DU. And not from other men.

yet trying to cling to our 20s women . Seriously, if not for all of the headlines about the porn stars, the only thing I would have noticed about the picture is how good President Clinton looks.
