"God Bless You Heather" says Hillary Clinton

The brilliant BBC journalist David Grossman has drawn my attention to this hilarious video of Hillary Clinton praising Heather Mills to the skies.

It appears on Heather's website with the words "Hillary Clinton speaks out for Heather" underneath it.

In the light of the judge's description of Heather as, ahem, a less than impressive, less than candid, witness,  I suspect Mrs Clinton wishes this video could disappear. But that's the beauty of You Tube

In many ways i think heather mills has done some good, in uniting most of the UK in sheer hate of the woman. Honestly what did she expect when she spent the last 2 years slagging off paul, and used their child as a weapon for a bit of cash?

God bless you indeed

Ha ha.

HOW embarrassing for Hillary!

Oh, just one question - did Heather write the script?

Hillary you talk too much

Posted by: umar | 19 Mar 2008 18:00:58

That was so cheesy; I mean what is Hilary doing. I have now lost all respect i may have had for Hilary. Surely Hilary has got better things to do than falsely praise Heather Mills in such a cheap, unimaginative manner. Yes I bet she wishes she never did it now and it just goes to show how artificial Heather mills is by putting it on her website.

If this is a measure of this woman's judgement,I really don't think that she is fit for high office or indeed any office.

When was this video recorded? I hope not after/during the trial?

Once Hillary started blathering on about landmines, all I could think about was her vote in support using of cluster bombs in civilian areas in 2006.

You know, the bombs that sprinkle little "bomblets" all over the landscape, many of which fail to detonate, and later blow up kids...kind of like a minefield.

how can anyone in the world let-alone the usa take anything seriously that hillary clinton says after seeing that performance how can a intelligent person be taken in by such a con artist, paul mccartney can be excused as he was obviously not thinking strait after the sad loss to himself and the world of the kind hearted lovely linda

She is trying to get public attention for gaining vote bank; who might have sympathy towards Mills.

There are many more individuals who have done more real noble work for humanity; but at the moment they are not in the press; so she is buying milage, that might help her in the elections; "Every little helps!".

Posted by: Newsreality | 19 Mar 2008 20:06:00

For God's sake, I expected better from The Times. PLEASE, be accurate and honest. This speech from Hillary was SIX years ago. Print an apology for Mrs. Clinton, it's only fair and ethical.

Water, so they say, seeks its own level. And so do women- or so it would appear to be in this case.

Posted by: Tony Francis | 19 Mar 2008 20:43:27

Hey, Heather did do a lot for land mine victims. She has just been through a bitter and very public divorce. She may be a real blabbermouth but give her some credit for the valuable work that Hillary mentions here.

Heather has been unsuccessful in personal relationships (not just with Paul) and has broken a man’s heart (not Paul’s) and messed a few others up. Even so Heather has done some good in the world - why she does crusades is irrelevant.

If you have been through a bitter divorce would you like to be commented upon in the way Heather is?

Do you have a clue how old this video is? Seriously, it is O-L-D... I highly doubt these are things Clinton would say today, yet, leave it to Heather to post something that is 5-6 years old and act like it's current... Typical Heather to me... (Same scenario with her Richard Branson testimonial video)... Ask them what they think today -- you won't get the same answer (or favor)...

Posted by: a e b | 19 Mar 2008 22:39:55

I did a scan of newspapers around the world and the McCartney/Mills story was hardly front page news. It's only in Britain that it's such a big deal. Why is this? My parents migrated from Britain over 40 years ago and my Dad said it was the best thing he ever did. He has returned many times and laments the fact that nothing has changed with regard to the class system and the privilege that goes with it. The hate campaign against Heather Mills is an example of this. McCartney may not have started out as privileged, but as a result of being a Beatle, making lots of money and having a "Sir" stuck in front of his name, he becomes untouchable and beyond criicism. Mills, for all her faults, was a brave woman to take McCartney on because in doing so she was taking on the establishment, and she wasn't a Brit, which made it worse! The amount of money she was paid was a fraction of McCartney's wealth, and would hardly disadvantage him, unlike the consequences of divorce for "ordinary" people. Maybe there is an element of jealousy too?

I wonder how much Heather has contributed to the Billary campaign?

Posted by: Vladimir | 20 Mar 2008 02:55:05

Please, guys, remember that Hillary Clinton made this little speech in 2002, long before the other side of Heather Mill's character became public knowledge.

Of course, from today's perspective, this speech looks as if Mrs. Clinton has lost her marbles. But in 2002 she was just doing what every politician loves to do: Jump on the bandwagon of a perceived do-gooder.

And maybe Heather Mill's work regarding land-mines was not so bad after all, who knows?

May I suggest to those who are prepared to give Heather more than the time of day, that they read the Courts corrosive judgement in full. The woman has serious mental issues.

Posted by: steph | 20 Mar 2008 11:12:57

I think Heather Mills is a very bad person. She told lies in court and it seems that Hilary Clinton believed her PR-hype. In her wicked attempts at self-promotion, she just proved all the cynics right.

She seems to have understood Machiavelli perfectly, when he said - you don't actually have to be virtous, you only have to appear to be.

Obviously, the reason she is being pilloried, is that she offers such a terrible example to our daughters.

She got her pieces of silver but she has paid a very public price.

But £25m is a lot of consolation.

Posted by: Destry Jones | 20 Mar 2008 12:40:41

ONLY PART OF THE JUDGE'S SUMMING UP HAS BEEN USED IN THE BRITISH PRESS!
THERE HAS BEEN NO MENTION THAT HEATHER MILLS' SUFFERED A MISCARRIAGE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF HER MARRIAGE.(THIS WAS COVERED IN THE AUSTRALIAN PAPERS.)
SHE THEN LUCKILY WENT ON TO CONCEIVE AGAIN AND GAVE BIRTH TO BEATRICE.
ALSO AS AN AMPUTEE SHE HAD A RATHER HEAVY TIME OF IT DURING HER PREGNANCY.
SHE ALSO WAS RECOVERING FROM A FURTHER OPERATION ON HER LEG WHEN LOVELY PAUL BABY DECIDED TO DIVORCE
HER.
NOTHING IS EVER MADE MENTION OF ANY OF THIS.
ANYBODY CAN LOOK BAD IF THE PRESS REPORTS ARE STACK AGAINST THEM!
BY THE WAY, THE HILLARY CLINTON VIDEO WAS MADE SEVERAL YEARS' BACK AND REFERRED TO HEATHER'S FINE WORK REGARDING LAND MINES.
HER WORK IN THIS FIELD WAS RECOGNISED LONG BEFORE SHE MET AND MARRIED PAUL.

Friends,


You will all agree that alimony is as bad as dowry-giving. Alimony
is to divorce what dowry is to marriage. Alimony is an invitation to
divorce.

In this scenario, the world - wide attention of females drooling at
the fantastic sums of money extorted from Mr. McCartney of the UK is
harmful to marriages worldwide.

Of course Hillary should feel drawn to Heather Mill because there are so many similarities between the two. They could be a mother and a daughter team really. Both are power and money hungry and will go any length to get what they want. They are called, a gold-digger and a power-digger respectively.

Posted by: BB | 20 Mar 2008 16:53:00

Where are Obama aides now? They should do the same thing the Hillary people did with Wright's clips because this one also shows bad judgment on Hillary's part. But then again, stooping low is what Hillary and her people do best.

Posted by: BB | 20 Mar 2008 16:56:30

To indignant Sally up there - Some of Wright's comments were recorded also about 6 years ago. Here we go again with the whooping double standard which really is the name of the game for Hillary people.

God help the world if we continue to get US Presidents as stupid as George W and potentially, Hillary Clinton ! Please Americans, get your act together and vote for some serious candidates for the White House, and put your country's credibility back on the map...at the moment it is near zero.

Posted by: Fraser Williams | 20 Mar 2008 17:31:17

The US press has not mentioned any of the judge's negative comments, nor the water-dousing incident. For some reason they are portraying her only in the most flattering light--probably to avoid damage to Hilary and other feminist interests.

This was recorded in 2002.No one knew Mills was such a B**** Certainly McCartney, who was kin the best position to know, didn't. What an unfair thing to post about Clinton, who barely knew the woman

Posted by: Ann | 20 Mar 2008 23:14:54

If Heather Mills is acting daffy over her divorce (in such a way that must be making Yoko happy -- she is no longer the "most hated Beatle wife"), that is certainly no reason to either discount the obvious good work Mills has done, and absolutely no reason to claim that, because Hillary Clinton praised Mills' work six years ago, she somehow showed such bad judgement that she shouldn't be elected president! That is nonsense and flummoxed thinking of the highest, and I mean highest, degree

Posted by: Greg Marriner | 20 Mar 2008 23:29:24

Do Brisih women realize that the Times edits out any posts that are pro-women. What a sexist rag! I'd be really surprised if this post survives.

Posted by: Emma H. | 21 Mar 2008 02:45:26

I suspect that the tape is not new footage, I also suspect that The Times is out to stir things a bit, given the use of a very unflattering picture of Heather Mills above the link to this 'story'
Was that the only picture The Times had in stock of Heather? Pretty poor and very lazy of the newspaper, but reading the various 'posts' it would seem enough people have fallen for it and vented their spleens at the two women in question. Media constructing and directing public opinion -1. independent reporting -0.

I don't see how this has any relevance to the up coming election. This was made several years ago and Ms. Clinton only knew Heather Mills through some good work she did concerning land mines. It has nothing to do with the divorce.

RELATIVE TO THE BIGOTRY OF A BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA TAKING THEIR TWO LITTLE GIRLS TO JEREMIAH WRIGHTS SERMONS ON SUNDAYS SAYING,

"NO NO NO NOT GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD DAMN AMERICA"

Personally, you all are foolish. Hillary Clinton is patriotic. She didn't error in judgment with her daughter. She's moral, upright she doesn't cast stones at people or just pretend something.

Barack Obama is EITHER a RACIST or a LIAR. One or the other. He obviously does not show good judgment and is exposing his small daughters to that rhetoric in Jeremiah Wright and even to have their own Mother just say that she couldn't be proud, or really proud of her own country until recently?

Are you kidding me and you baffoons are talking about Hillary Clinton?

You people are not only moronic, but you're dupes. The man that wrote this article is either blind, deaf and dumb or he's never had an interaction with a multi-racial/cultural family. Don't people leave their homes anymore. Go outside walk around your neighborhood like I do. Man in my family we have every culture and religion because of the we reflect "AMERICA!" DUH DUMMIES! What is new about that and we've been doing this since the 60's where have you people been?

Nothing is just vanilla, chocolate or strawberry anymore people. What I was surpried at was that Jeremicah Wright and Barack Obama and the Black community he is living in are retroing back to the 60's for some reason. I mean what is up with that? Are those guys using LSD in their communion juice or something because multi-racial families are the fabric of America and Barack Obama gave a very tidy sixth grade speech. Thank you. It sounded like what I did on my summer vacation. They guy can't speak.

What's amazing is when I listen to Jeremiah Wright, that guy can't speak, but he's a hater! That's his problem and he's stuck in the 60's, but a place I never heard of. I mean what is wrong with that group is this. People like Barack that was supposed to be helping the poor black people got rich from people like Rezko that did little deals with the government on contracts. You just spread deals around.

It's a dirty little secret and Barack got his skids greased and his 1.9 million dollar home, he got sent off to Harvard after doing a little time in the south side of Chicago, but was he really doing anything to help people? I mean what's changing down there in the ghettos? and are people doing better?

When he ran for office he ran against who? NO ONE. That's an easy election to win. How, Chicago style politics. YOU CAN'T BUY ELECTIONS BARACK. The People ELECT AND THE DON'T ELECT RACISTS OR BIGOTS AND AS MUCH AS THEY SAY YOU AREN'T WE SEE YOU AND YOUR WIFE FOR WHAT YOU ARE!

I simply have to laugh when people say Barack Obama is something unique, he's a bafoon and an opportunist! He's run unopposed in an election and he plays dirty tricks in them taboot. Are you people just plain stupid or on drugs?

The guy took his two little girls to hear this racist bigot speak, gets caught big time saying ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA IN HIS CHURCH and they he reads a paper someone wrote for him (since we know he plagiarizes already) I'd seriously question the authenticity of that speech.

The man is a fraud, lacks judgment and borders on abusing his children for teaching them hatred of their country and other races and you ssy he's what?

HOW DO YOU UNTEACH CHILDREN BIGOTRY? IT'S TOUGH GUYS IT'S TOUGH. LOOK AT WHAT MICHELLE OBAMA SAID. THAT'S AUTHENTIC AND REAL. She was surprised that the hate speech she'd been hearing and believing and teaching her own daughters from birth wasn't true.

You see they don't buy Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream like we do. They are opportunists! They don't believe!

Hillary Believes and she's worked for it. President Clinton Believes and He worked for it.

President Clinton was a poor boy from Hope Arkansas, not a Rich Boy from Hawaii.

Barack Obama his school in Hawaii it cost $16,000 per year. I don't know welware mothers that can pay that kind of money for those schools. He's not a poor boy who knows your pain.

Hillary Clinton her Mom and Dad, they were middle class. They worked hard and saved and put their little girl through school. She was one of those brave white girls that went to the south and believed in the dream of JFK and Bobby and Martin and she took action.

It wasn't Barack Obama. He abandonned the South Side of Chicago to be what? Rich! Ambitious. What has he ever completed? What job has he ever finished? Nothing! He said he would go to Washington D.C. to do something and he hasn't done one thing. HE SAID HE PASSED LEGISLATION TO HELP YOU. NO HE HELPED HIMSELF TO BIG OIL INTERESTS!

You know who supports him? EXXON! That's who. Follow the money.

Obama took his little girls to a racist church, he doesn't care about anyone or anything, not even those children. He lack judgment and I actually feel sorry for him because I wonder why he's so angry. Why did he pick Jeremiah Wright as a mentor? When he could have had so many fine mentors!

Judgment? Would you teach your children to say Nigger? God Damn America? I hate my country? Look it's not my words, it has to be said and confronted.

They've called white women racists including his own Grandmother, mother, it's self-serving and we know it! It's not about race.

Elect a person who can lead, not because they are a color, remeber what Dr. Kings words were:

Judge the man by the content of his CHARACTER!

Look at Barack Obama's character and you have to ask yourself these serious questions. Why is it that he elected to take those children to that church and subject them to that VILE FILTHY SPEECH?

This is not only unpatriotic, its worse that this. When we make the decision to do something and remember he did this for not just himself, he's wanting to lead, just like his little girls think about this. These are his children, two little innocent minds are being taught hatred. How could you elect him? That? And her, his wife have her there in the White House? Its not the dream!

Condaleesa Rice Ok thats a Patriotic woman, we may not agree on policy, but she's patriotic and I highly suspect she's not teaching her children to say GOD DAMN AMERICA. COLIN POWELL?

Jesse Jackson are you saying this?
Al Sharpton to you tell you congregations God Damn American? Do you teach little children this?

Don't excuse it, don't excuse this and say it's the dream! It's about honesty and integrity and it's about Character ok! It's about judging the man by his character, the content of his character. And you say excuse him, but you've called on America to fire, villify and even imprison others for far less.

So please ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.


BARACK OBAMA LACKS CHARACTER, JUDGMENT, HE'S NOT PRESIDENTIAL. MAYBE SOME DAY HE COULD BE RECONDITIONED AND PERHAPS HIS WIFE COULD BE HELPED TO UNDERSTAND THAT A PERSON SHOULD BE JUDGED BY THE CONTENT OF THE CHARACTER AND NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.

That America is the dream! Not GOD DAMN AMERICA Barack Obama.

Personally I felt that speech was a recap of all Obama's speeches, and it was again snippets of many things from different people.

Authentic speeches are from hearts and souls and they bear the wounds of time. My heart today bleeds from the wounds that continuously are inflicted on women and in particular against Hillary Clinton because she's Brilliant and Presidential. She's a remarkable woman with amazing stamina. Barack Obama cannot even come close to enduring the amazing hatred she's had to endure as I read these hateful barbs that people have written here regarding yet another woman.

Hillary Clinton went to New York. She was the main support of her family for nearly 20 while her husband did what he aspired to do because he genuinely was inspired by a President to do public service. That President was John F. Kennedy. So many of us from that era feel that and know what it meant to want to serve our country. So we understand that despite President Clinton's personal difficulties, President Kennedy also possessed those same problems. The difference was that during President Kennedy's era the press just kept it quiet and wives were not publicly humiliated.

I admire Senator Clinton (Hillary) so much. During that period I sent her a letter of support and told her how much I admired her strength and that I personally was praying for her and the family. For those who are just evil people the sneer and snicker but to me I was raising a daughter and I held the Republicans completely responsible for bringing into the public view a very private and personal matter that was not of any national importance.

Further during the impeachment hearing period, I understood that the Republicans were also doing something extraordinarily problematic. They were drawing our attention away from National and International Security. Just after the 1993 election we'd be struck by Al Queda for the first time and President Clinton acted with swift certainty and the suspects were apprehended right away.

There continued to be these attacks and the Republicans rather than focusing on our national interest were more interested in gaining power. To President Clintons credit he stayed focused and steady. Our economy was amazingly strong and steady. We necessarily have had to enter into trade agreements, but we also have to do so with good sense.

While all of this was going on Hillary Clinton began to pray and she has prayed for many years with a number of women in a prayer group. She doesn't talk about her faith openly like those who are just plain hypocrits. You see she is the real deal. She prayes and keeps her faith and read her bible. Hillary Clinton has a prayer group that is predominantly Republican women although I'm sure if you belonged to her church you'd be welcome too, but obviously it's made of people who are in a close knit group. They pray for her and she prays them.

You may not think that this is important but to me faith in God is deeply important. Belief in God and Country is important and although a lot of people don't talk about I like to. When I heard that VILE FILTHY ANTI-AMERICAN HATE SPEECH coming out of Jeremiah Wrights mouth I knew there would be apologists for Barack Obama because after all this is about power. But in the end I know I don't want a President like Richard Nixon again, or one that is hanging out with the wrong type of people.

With Hillary Clinton they know there aren't any sex scandals. They just make fun of her because of what? She's a woman. Well your MOM IS A WOMAN, YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR SISTER, YOUR GRANDMOTHER. Are you going to call you Mom a BITCH. Because that's what you have been doing Press! American's who are doing this to Hillary.

Barack Obama and his wife, have exercised very poor judgment. I don't believe in teaching children hate! I think that it is important that they know that they not say certain things.

There was one irony in one of the statements that Jeremiah Wright made reagarding Hillary Clinton. He stated that Hillary didn't know what it was like to be a "black man being raised by a single mother." Well, actually, when President Clinton and Senator Clinton were first married and he was first elected to office in Arkansas, she was the main support of their family at the time.

The other thing is that although Hillary didn't grow up in a single parent home, President Clinton did and actually, his family history is a lot harder and worse than Barack Obama's because his Father was killed in a car accident before he was born. His step-dad was a mean vicious alcoholic that used the beat the tar out of his mother and he did it until President Clinton got big enough to whip his step-father.

Barack Obama had wealth white Grandparents who paid ALOT of money for him to go to the BEST PRIVATE school in Hawaii. If you look it up Punahou, Barack Obama's school in Hawaii is $15,725 per year. Last time I checked, most Welfare Mothers receiving Food Stamps just couldn't affort that kind of tuition. Perhaps he was smoking pot or it was one of those days he was having a hard time deciding between the cocaine or the heroin that he deluded himself into believing his mother had to use foodstamps.

You see President Clinton did actually have a rather difficult life and he did have a single Mother Virginia. And there are some of us out here who come from REALLY MULTI-CULTURAL FAMILIES THAT ARE AUTHENTIC. So we are the millions of people who want to puke every time we hear the dribble that people spew about this guy and then turn around and post some completely disrespectful something about a terrific woman.

We think you are monsters and you frankly are and we know that Barack Obama never won a real election YET! Like in the State of Washington they said he got like 68% well 10 days later in the real election 20% evaporated from that in the Primary so what happened? This is the problem with Barack Obama and the Democrats that are supporting this guy are deluding themselves into thinking he's going to get elected?

Poor judgment takes the two little girls to see a racist preacher on Sundays and he wants to lead the country. He really can't get in the room with Senator Clinton because she is honest, clean, fresh, and the most important thing that I like about her is:

Hillary Clinton honestly is fair minded and she will treat everyone equally. That is want a great leader does.

The press is mistreating her because they think that they should know everything. But there are many things that happen that the average American just shouldn't know and we sure don't want other countries knowing. It's kind of letting someone look in your bedroom window at night. Do you know what I mean?

Posted by: Don E. Marnell | 23 Mar 2008 19:43:46

Oh dear, Riki (20 March comment), you really don't have a clue about how it works here in Britain do you? For starters, Mills isn't seen as taking on the Establishment just because McCartney is a 'Sir'. To be honest, a lot of people don't give a toss about his title. Britons judge him on his behaviour and demeanour and - having had a job that involves being in court a lot - I suspect the judge's comments about PM's testimony are accurate and can applied no less to his conduct outside of court. And so what if he has a lot of money? He has earned it. That's a lot more than can be said for the crazed Mills. Even her idea of giving to charity is warped. Charity is about altruism and selflessness, not demanding someone else stump up the cash to make yourself look good. Frankly, for oh, so many reasons, the woman is self-delusional scum.

Hillary is an opportunist and a liar. She just got awarded 4 Pinocchios by Washington Post for her performance in this video.

i am one of those that likes Hillary Clinton and i would go to the end of the world to see her get the job for president,she has always been for this country and she was never biased on race, she marched in the picket line for King while going to colledge, she is a good woman, very smart one who can lead this country and get it back on it"s feet,can Obama do that?God Bless Hillary Clinton

How dumb are all of you, including the author of this blog?????
This video is 8, count them, 8 years old!!! Heather fooled everyone with her charity work and making people believe she was genuine - including her husband who defended her too.
Heather is so desperate that she uses this old video of Hillary and an old video of Mr. Virgin to try and make it look like she has their support. Well I for one am emailing Heather's site to take this off - Mills is a liar and if this video causes Hillary any more problems in this campaign there's a group of Paul's fans who will harrass any TV show that plans to hire Heather for anything here in the States.
