Gay Hillary 2008 Supporters Put Bill in Drag, Launch 'Bill for First Lady' campaign
09.27.05

(New York, NY) - Gay Democratic supporters of Hillary Clinton for president are tapping cross-dressing comedy as a serious political strategy with this morning's launch of Bill-for-First-Lady.com. The campaign website features live-action comedy videos of Bill Clinton in 'Jackie' style drag wearing a pink skirt, matching high heels and a pink purse. The site has set a goal to generate 1 million e-mails from Americans urging Hillary to run for president in 2008.

The Democratic website, which uses comedy to convey its message, has produced two short two-minute campaign videos depicting Bill Clinton preparing for the First Lady role. The first, entitled 'Boxers, Briefs or Thong?', shows Bill trying on skimpy pink lingerie - much to the shock of a flabbergasted saleswoman. In 'Men's Room?', Bill struggles to use a urinal while decked-out in a pink skirt, high heels and very uncooperative pantyhose.

"We may be having a gay old time with our campaign style - but Hillary is a serious candidate and this is a serious strategy. In addition to showing support for Hillary to run for president in 2008, Bill-for-First-Lady.com is about beating Republicans to the punch and to the punch line by making the inevitable 'Bill as First Lady' jokes old before they can hurt during the election. Cross-dressing humor crosses party lines and we're here to tickle the red states pink," said Campaign Manager Luke Montgomery.

Live campaign events featuring the dress-wearing 'Bill' from the videos are planned for cities around the country in the coming weeks. The first event was outside the White House on Monday, September 26th. The second is in New York City on Tuesday, September 27th in front of ABC's Times Square Studio to coincide with the network's premiere of its female president drama Commander in Chief, starring Geena Davis.

Campaign organizer Luke Montgomery was once a vocal Clinton critic on gay rights issues. Having for a short time legally changed his last name to 'Sissyfag', As a teenage gay activist, Montgomery made headlines in the early Clinton years for his attention-getting presidential interruptions. Montgomery interrupted the President's 1993 World AIDS Day speech and his 1994 Easter Sunday church services.

"Having grown-up and unfortunately grown grey, I now realize what a great president Bill was, not just for gay Americans, but for all Americans. With this campaign I hope to pay Bill back for all those silly headaches I caused him when I was a kid," said Montgomery.

Bill-for-First-Lady.com also features the interactive 'Mr. First Lady Talking Doll' that talks in Clinton's voice, saying things like "Put Hillary in the White House, I'm homesick!" and "My bikini line? waxed or shaved? Don't ask. Don't tell."

Montgomery gushes about the doll, saying, "This is one of the most fun and most funny parts of the campaign. What little gay kid doesn't want to play with dolls? For me this is definitely where the personal meets the political. Bill just looks pretty in pink!"

A spokesperson for the campaign includes 'Bill' himself. Organizers are making available a comic Bill Clinton voice impersonator for appearances on radio shows across the nation as part of the campaign.

Read it, read it again, then again, then realize what the point of this is. Though I saw it a while ago and am awaiting my clinton doll.

They're not trying to help, they're trying to offset the burden of bad jokes cracked by Republicans.

Hey P.A.D.: STOP MAKING THREADS!
 
The originators of this website really think that by going this direction they can offset the "Bill as first lady" cracks? Did P. T. Barnum make himself look like a moron when his detractors flung personal attacks? He ignored them. To respond in any way just gives them more power.

This is pretty far outside the mainstream. It's not going to help me vote for Hillary. It'll just try to make me pick a Repub. candidate that won't repeat the stupid Bush mistakes.

It works all the time. As I recall, our current political animals came about in just such an attempt to turn an insult into a point of pride.

You mean a Republican who won't pander to the religious right to the detriment of the rest of the country? Good luck with that.

It's an attempt to desensitive the nation to the idea of having a female president. The affect it has, if any, likely won't be a conscious one, but a part of the bigger goal of getting people to accept a female president and a male first spouse.

I can think of one or two off the top of my head.

I try to vote for the candidates, not the party. Voting for the party gets people like Bush elected.

Please tell you you aren't so shallow that you would vote for someone, just to show up some minor website.

This should have zero impact.

unless the "it" you are referring to is a Hillary run.
 
Rudy dumped his wife during a press conference and he has cancer, he will never run for president.
 
Rudy Giuliani (and to a lesser degree, John McCain) are locks if they ever decide to run. Depends who wins the primaries, though.

I can't see rudy beating hillary, he's an icon but I don't think he'd be able to withstand a presidential campaign. Mccain probably would.

Yeah. I dunno bout Rudy, but I'd probably vote Mccain over Hillary.
 
I hope running for President is really worth it to McCain, I REALLY hope he makes things better if he wins because right now he's got such a boner to be President all the blood is gone from his head, see him letting Bush walk all over him and standing up for Bush in public.
 
Ya know what, I really, really hope that Hillary does get the Democratic nominee. Then I hope that Condoleezza Rice gets the Republican nominee. Then FINALLY a third party will win!

I like McCain for the most part. Not sure Giuliani would be the best choice - he wasn't so well-loved until after 9/11. Either way, I think both of them would have a hard time getting through the primaries without pandering to the far religious right. Don't they both have moderate stances on homosexuals? That could kill them both right there.

Agreed. I don't see Rudy or McCain as being dangerously religious, but I also don't see them being likely presidential candidates these days for just that reason.

Otherwise, you almost got a "touché" out of me, Quillion.

i agree
but i feel that it's more due to him being a 'fiscal conservative' which makes him fairly unappealing (as a candidate) for either major party

either way, there are better candidates

personally i'd like to see the Kool-Aid Man declare

every press conference would start off with a bang, guaranteed!

Mmmmm - I don't know if a massive amount of liquid bursting through a wall is a great campaign image right about now.

I can just see koolaid-man stumping in NO

*koolaid-man bursts out of wall*
*looks at stunned crowd*
Oh Noooo!
