Gennifer Flowers: I Could Vote For Hillary

Woman Who Had Sexual Dalliance With Bill Clinton Says She's Considering Voting For His Wife

(AP)  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.")

Mitt Romney is also on the short list, though in general "the GOP has yet to start impressing me," said Flowers, a registered nonpartisan who has recently voted Republican.

Flowers moved to Las Vegas about a year ago, after years of singing at a cabaret club in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina wrecked her home and her marriage, she said. Sin City offered her a chance to perform in Bottom's Up, a variety show at a casino in downtown Las Vegas.

She's now looking for other performing opportunities, involved in a plastic surgery reality series and has begun writing an advice column for a community Web site.

Hillary Clinton also contributes to the same site.

A typical Clinton campaign post: "Clinton Unveils Bold Plan to Tackle Energy and Climate Crisis."

Flowers' inaugural column: "The Secret Society of Undercover Button Pushers."

Flowers says she hopes to use the column to impart wisdom on how to overcome challenges.

"I feel like I have a Ph.D. in life, I'm a survivor. I've not only survived, I've thrived," she said.

And she has no advice for Clinton.

"She wouldn't take any advice from me anyway. Looks like she's doing just fine on her own," Flowers said.

If Hillary wins the White House, maybe she''ll have Ginnifer over for a threesome.

Who the "F" cares. This is news??? What a has-been bimbo thinks. CBS, aren''t you really above this kind of cr ap??

[rowdytexan2]

Now doesn''t this just make you all warm and fuzzy!

[mudrose-2009]

Great minds think alike. Oops. I detect another Flowers book signing. Guess the blackmail didn''t work. Ugh!

[extremophil]

This would be a good way for Jennifer deFlowered to get back into Bill''s pants. You go, girl!

[infidel_us]

ROFL!!! This is gonna be GREAT!!!! All the Clinton''s ghosts from the past are gonna once again be paraded before the American people. Hey, let''s put Sandy Burgler on the campaign! Hey, let''s give Web Hubbel a call and see what he''s up to!!!!

I can hardly wait for the gloves to come off and the REAL race to begin!!!! :)

[pepperp1]

Hmmm very wise decision hopefully Monica joins in supporting Hillary as well, maybe she is right a women president and a very civilized *** after all.

[briannorwood]

Dear Jennifer:

You are an adulterous little ***. You got your 15 minutes back in the 90s. Now please just go away!

[gpa_kevin]

Why are media outlets like CBS News so increasingly trashy? How could you reprint this garbage? I''m very against Hillary Clinton as a politician, but what you''re helping along here is disgusting. I don''t even blame Flowers, I blame whatever idiot decided to write a story about her. Way to help our election become a circus, a-clowns.

[klm0824]

What semi-intelligent female would vote for a female presidential candidate simply because she is female?????

[killtheliars]

Bill sure has bad taste in women. What kind of plastic surgery reality show is she going to be on? With a mug like that I guess it would have to be plastic surgery gone wrong.

[retiredusaf3]

LOL Who says shes intelligent. Have to wonder how much money was deposited in some secret account for her. LOL probably to pay for the plastic surgery.

[jack3213]

Wow. For one, to print this article shows little class on the side of CBS. Second, for Flowers to say she will support Clinton just shows how ridiculous they both are. How much clearer does this have to get?

[katg21]

Good Lord...WHO CARES!!!

[tyjohn47]

Of course she''d vote for Hill! DUH!! That would occupy Hill''s time and free up Bill for.....ya know.....a little sumthin''-sumthin'' now and then.

[pdjone]

If Hilary wins these guys should play at her Inauguration.

When I first read the headline I figured I had some how stumbled onto the National Enquirer site.

CBS is really getting low, they ignored the fact this is Dec. 7 and refused to mention Pearl Harbor and the two thousand killed that day but have no problem printing this trash. Unbelievable.

[denn034]

Flowers is supporting someone that verbally assaulted her during the Clinton *** Scandals. Where''s the logic in that or picking a candidate solely on gender?

[nggr]

looks like she secured the wh*re vote

[trueprogress]

As a college Professor of Women''s Studies, I support all victims of male abuse. If one woman is abused, we are all abused. Jennifer and Hillary are sisters, and I would love to see them on the stage together. If she becomes President, Jennifer would make a great ambassador to the UN.

[jsilver2th]

It''s hard to understand why this rates as news except for Clinton bashing---

[rowdytexan2]

Hahahaha! If I had wrote this piece of crapola, I wouldn''t have put my name on it either.

Must be a dirty little jerk mind who belongs to a coward. The kind that will snicker about something like this behind his hand, then stand up like a proud American and start quoting from Ephesians.

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

. . . but I guess she''s got no problems doing a little passive agressive manoever on Hillary if people happen to call her at home. Wow, this ''endorsement''/mean-girl-move had to have had Hillary''s cheeks glowing red . . . I would think that if Gennifer Flowers really wanted Hillary to win she''d have kept her trap shut and kept herslef out of the tabloid headlines. Meow meow! :o
