Flowers Peddles Tapes; Mum's Not the Word
Does this mean she's withdrawing her endorsement of Hillary? 
According to Vegas Confidential, the former Bill Clinton lover and current Feature Performer, Entertainer & Advice Columnist, has announced plans to sell, at auction, audiotapes purported to be secretly taped conversations between Flowers and the former president:
Gennifer Flowers is putting the tapes of her recorded conversations with Bill Clinton during their 12-year affair on the auction block, Vegas Confidential learned Monday. Flowers, who came forward during Clinton's 1992 Presidential election campaign with details of the relationship, said she decided to part with the tapes after renewed interest surfaced.
She was offered $5 million by a Japanese collector in the 1990s, she said.
Asked about the timing of her announcement coming out as Hillary Clinton continues to slide in her presidential bid, "I don't need to hurt Hillary. She is doing a fine job of that herself, along with her idiot husband. Karma is an interesting thing. If these two don't get elected, and they are a team, it will be karma coming back to visit them. It's about time."
While it's hard to fault Flowers for trying to eke out a 16th minute of fame, and some financial security, her invocation of Karma is odd, considering the blows that the mystical force has dealt her:
Gennifer had enjoyed several years of success in her own nightclub in the New Orleans French Quarter called The Gennifer Flowers Kelso Club in which she sang and performed to audiences from all over the world every night. But, two storms changed her life...one was Katrina and the other was a divorce.
After the jump: What effect will this have on the current Presidential contest? What effect will the current Presidential contest have on this? Why can't I think of any more floral puns?
If not for the recent, disastrous moves by Clinton's campaign in stepping up the negative tenor, this news might have actually helped Hillary. While some people express antipathy toward her decision to "stand by her man", those people are likely not to view Hillary in any positive light.
For the majority of people, especially Democrats, the infidelity issue engenders at least sympathy, if not a measure of admiration for overcoming it. A crass cash-in like this would have reminded many people of what a class act Hillary is compared to Flowers and her husband. 
Barring a stunning, overwhelming victory at tonight's debate, or a precipitous stumble by Obama in the next week or so, this race could be over on March 5, which would wilt Flowers' prospects of a big payday. With everything else that's going on, this doesn't figure to affect Hillary much, as it shouldn't.
Of course, with the punditry flailing at every political gnat this election season, they could do worse that to "Ask Gennifer with a G". This advice pertains to menopause, but it could just as easily be applied to our beleaguered pundit class and their convoluted "Keith" numbers:
Also, taking on a young lover never hurts! It certainly makes you aware of your body and makes you feel damn good about yourself! That advice, of course, will be criticized but I only say it because it's true! My dear lady friends...JUST CHOOSE HAPPINESS and then work your way toward it in the way that's most appropriate for you. You can do it, girls!!
Kisses, Gen
Then, there was her recent advice for John McCain. 
In reading for this story, I've grown to like Gennifer Flowers, aside from her broadsides at Hillary. Selling these tapes is unquestionably sleazy, but who's the real sleaze here? In this trio, only one person broke a promise, and it wasn't Gen or Hillary. If she was my friend, I'd definitely tell her to sell the tapes. If I was Hillary, I would offer to buy them and donate the money to charity. That would be a win-win.
If I was Bill, I'd probably be breathing a sigh of relief, like the rest of us, that there was no video.

I want to urge ALL Flordia Hillary Clinton supporters to write the DNC at www.democrats.org/contact to complain how our delegates are being ignored. ALL three candidates appeared on the ballot & we had a RECORD turnout! Flordia spoke & it said "Hillary Clinton". Our votes should count. Our voices should be heard in the final say. Flordias delegates might make the differance in seeing Hillary be the Democrat nominee. PLEASE take the time to write & voice your concern!

LATINS
Hillary Clinton cannot get fair media coverage if you have noticed. She has always worked hard for the Latino community and you know it. Please do not do what the Black Americans have done and turn your back on her now. email your friends and family in other states and tell them she will be the best president for their interests and lives of all our children.
If you live in Florida complain about our vote not counting. Go to www.democrats.org/contact
or email the Governor and even if he is Republican, he should be fair to all the Floridians. charlie.crist@myflorida.com

It wasn't the photo of HIM in Muslim clothing and his mysterious background,his middle name, his Muslim dad and step dad, nor was it Louis Farakham's endorsement, And it wasn't his wife Michelle saying "In my entire adult life I have never been proud of my country until now.", it wasn't that MSNBC called Hillary Clinton's daughter a pimp for helping her mom campaign while leaving Michelle Obama and her children, and Caroline and Ted Kennedy , and OPRAH and Maria Schwartzenager pure as snow for doing the same thing,It isn't even his past(?) drug use, ie cocaine ,marijuana, and booze, and it may not even be his personal habits, like his blowing his nose on stage, or smelling bad while greeting the public, It definately isn't his color as I am close, but I am pretty sure what turned me off Obama is the fact that he just blabbers and doesn't say anything, yet gets credit for saying something. And the worst part of this whole thing is this idiot might become our president... didn't we learn anything from Bush?

Is Larry King so deperate that she is a guest? I find it very tacky that she has to keep bringing up her affair. I would think over the course of one's life that one would want to accomplish more and be remembered for more than fucking and secretly taping. Yes, the affair was wrong of Clinton, but it's been 20 years - I sure don't want to be constantly reminded of things I did 20 years ago. And I still don't understand why she taped him. She was clearly looking to embarass him - why do you want to fuck someone you intend to embarass? What does that say about her lack of morals. I can't ever imagine taping someone I purported to care about.

OBAMA IS A UNTER ALL RIGHT...
He has "UNITED" the most hateful bunch of Americans to support him that I have ever seen in our great nation. Ever. Worse even than the GOP supporters.

FLOWERS IS A DISGUSTING PIG. She thinks she is getting revenge, but the truth is she is just showing the world she was a lying skanky tramp who ALSO knowingly cheated with married people.
So why does she think she is any better than Clinton if they were cheating? She is no better.
LYING HYPOCRITE

The Demd should have chosen someone more worthy than Hillary to be the first female prez.I don't believe a word that she saysHer experience is a sham,as Dick Morris says.She promised 200,000 new jobs in NY and voted against tax cuts that would engender them. She wants to fine people who do not buy health ins.even when they cannot afford it. What legislation has she introduced in Congress. Give US a break ,Bill. Get real!
Steve Decker12:48PMFeb 26th 2008
The democrats are at it again. Tearing each other apart while the repulicans just sit and watch them self destruct. The moral character of the Clinton's is something this country does not need at a time when our values and morals are eroding to the lowest level in history. Say what you want about the Bush administration, they at least have shown moral character in ther interpersonal relationship as a family, ie: no spots on blue dresses or other actions not holding up to a standard of decency
dang199212:52PMFeb 26th 2008
When is the media going to take Hillary to task for her lies?She graduated Law School at 25. She is now 60.She claims 35 yrs of experience at govt.She must have failed Math-all 35 yrs between then & now at govt jobs?She was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the co-conquerer of Everest,she says.she was born in 1947. Hillary climbed Everest in 1953. She'll say & do anything to get elected. Please don't vote for her just because she's a woman. See her for what she is. Can you imagine being in Bill's shoes if she doesn't get the nomination? WOW!
dang19921:00PMFeb 26th 2008
Doesn't any one listen to what Hillary says? If she means what she says,she's a Socialist.At one time she proposed giving every new born child a $5,000 bond.She has admitted admiring states in Europe that are socialistic where every body receives a check from Big Brother.You will be fined if you do not buy health insurance -whether you can affordit or not. Who's telling the fairy tale,Bill?
LSML1:02PMFeb 26th 2008
Shame on her. After all this time, what's her motivation if not political? This stinks like rotting fish at low tide. It's old news. It's only purpose now is to derail attention away from what people should be focusing on, this country.
LSML1:05PMFeb 26th 2008
Kitty, I'm with you. If Hillary's name is not on the ticket, I'm writing it in. I won't give my vote to the republicans and I won't give it to a baby killer like Obama. See the Infant Alive Protection Act that he alone voted against in the Illinois Senate after hearing testimony of babies living for hours after failed abortion attempts. He'd have them die on tables alone in holding rooms rather than be humane and give them care and comfort. I don't want a cold hearted president. I won't vote for him.
