Gennifer Flowers: I Could Vote For Hillary

(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.

"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

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.

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

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.

looks like she secured the wh*re vote

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?

[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!!!! :)
