Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (L) and former first lady Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) sit together at the unveiling of new portraits of the couple in Washington, April 24, 2006. The portraits will hang in the newly-restored National Portrait Gallery, which is scheduled to reopen July 1.

New York Times: Clintons Balance Married and Public Lives

Mr. Clinton is rarely without company in public, yet the company he keeps rarely includes his wife. Nights out find him zipping around Los Angeles with his bachelor buddy, Ronald W. Burkle, or hitting parties and fund-raisers in Manhattan; she is yoked to work in Washington or New York — her Senate career and political ambitions consuming her time.

When the subject of Bill and Hillary Clinton comes up for many prominent Democrats these days, Topic A is the state of their marriage — and how the most dissected relationship in American life might affect Mrs. Clinton’s possible bid for the presidency in 2008.

Democrats say it is inevitable that in a campaign that could return the former president to the White House, some voters would be concerned or distracted by Mr. Clinton’s political role and the episode that led the House to vote for his impeachment in 1998.

So, are Democrat Party operatives getting nervous over Hillary’s prospects? They are probably more nervous over the likelyhood of Bill sabotaging her campaign and this “leaked story” is a shot across his philandering bow.

But, it could be Al Gore. No love lost between him and the Clintons.

Hillary is still the front-runner but the GOP can only hope for some Democrat Party angst.

RUN Al RUN……..

Approaching 60 and with major heart surgery not yet two years behind him, Mr. Clinton has been more reflective in public about the marriage than Mrs. Clinton, who is 58.

When they appeared together at a Manhattan fund-raiser in December, the former president said he had sometimes “kicked myself” for encouraging her to run for office. There were times he wished she were not in the Senate so they could travel more, learn more, he said.

When Mrs. Clinton joined him onstage, Mr. Clinton gave her a kiss on the forehead, and then stepped away. Mrs. Clinton appeared a little choked up. Moments later, as she recalled their 30 years of marriage, she looked out into the dimly lighted room to try to find him.

“I’m so grateful to you, Bill, wherever you are,” she said.

Obviously he is NOT in HER bed………
