Apparently, Bill Clinton has gotten the message from she wears the pants in the family:
Bill Clinton backed down Friday after reviving his wife’s exaggerated account of her trip to Bosnia 12 years ago.
Hillary Clinton acknowledged late last month that she had misspoken when she said on more than one occasion that she had landed under sniper fire during a visit to Bosnia. The controversy surrounding the story had died down until the former president brought it back Thursday when he tried to defend his wife’s mistake.
Clinton accused the media of treating his wife like “she’d robbed a bank” for confusing the facts. But in retelling the story, the former president added his own inaccuracies to the account.
On Friday, Bill Clinton said he would no longer talk about the Bosnia trip.
“Hillary called me and said, ‘You don’t remember this, you weren’t there. Let me handle it.’ And I said ‘Yes ma’am,’” the former president said as he visited the scene of a campaign office that burned down in Terre Haute, Ind.
Hillary Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said in a statement: “Senator Clinton appreciates her husband standing up for her, but this was her mistake and she takes responsibility for it.”
Translation: Please excuse my husband, he’s a lecherous idiot.
