Gennifer Flowers mulls vote for Clinton

LAS VEGAS - 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.

17. The pic is from very early 1992.

Gennifer had just come out with the infamous..."yes, I was Bill Clinton's lover...I'm sick of all the lies...He tells me to deny it..." statement. This pic was taken at the new conference on the eve of the NH primary. After being declared DOA, the Big Doggie placed second, called himself "the comeback kid," and we know the rest of the story. Anyway, it's all in "The War Room" video. Worth checking out.

12. Whatever HRC supports or stands for, the mere fact of a woman in the WH has serious implications.

It implicitly means than women should be taken seriously as leaders and professionals. It means all the stereotypes of women as weak and overly emotional will be taken a little less seriously.

It also draws into serious question the whole notion of the strong father figure model of government. In that, the father is head of the household and commands by virtue of his authority. This is the model favored by conservatives and forms the basis not only for their view of family and government, but also of business and civic life. These are the folks that see the president as our national leader and not just our highest ranking civil servant.

The alternative view, the cooperative family model, is more likely to be based on consensus and sharing of responsibility. It is inherently less aggressive, coercive or decisive.

15. And it is important why exactly?\nt
