CAN NO ONE SHUT HIM UP?:
Carter: Hillary Needs to Separate from Bill (Carl Limbaucher, 12/12/03, Newsmax)
"I don't have any doubt that she has thoughts about the White House in her mind for the future," [Jimmy] Carter told CNN. "I haven't talked to her about it, but I think that's common knowledge.Carter said that Mrs. Clinton has done a "good job" as Senator. But he advised her "to separate herself from her husband" before she runs for president in 2008.
The 39th president said the former first lady needs to "let the general public know that she can stand on her own feet [before she seeks the White House] and that she has her own agenda and she's a good political player on her own."
If they separate any further they'll look like Laren Hutton's smile. Posted by Orrin Judd at December 12, 2003 7:58 PM
Perhaps Jimmy could volunteer to mediate the divorce.

Posted by: M. at December 12, 2003 9:27 PMGranted the Clinton marriage may be sui generis, but isn't that an amazing thing for a supposedly religious man who touts himself as putting principle above partisan politics to say? I wonder how long Rosalyn would have lasted if he thought dumping her would have improved his chances at a second shot.
Sacrificing one's spouse for the good of the nation? How modern. "I have but one life to give, etc....and it isn't mine."

It's a shame Jimmy Carter doesn't spend more time building houses.
