I think Bill Clinton got some of these outfits from George Clinton.

Pay no attention to the man behind the African curtains.

OMG is that last picture Hillary in a dress?!? I've never seen that before.

One dress, two dress, red dress, blue dress!

"It doesn't matter that we're helping that whole "Obama rhymes with Osama"thing along,because we've worn those funny clothes ourselves.The fact we're white and not named Obama shouldn't be of consideration.And you can Xerox that,motherfucker."

I think I just peed my pants!

You left out the all-important APEC group photos, where all the Presidents dress up in the identical native garb of the host country. My favourite are the Indonesian go-to-hell shirts.

...and dudes, I'm sorry, but His Holiness the Pope makes women put on head covering too.

@mathewbrooks: Remember George Clinton's line in a GOTV ad? "My name may be Clinton, but I know what I'm talking about."

I wrote a paper for library school comparing the Nixon Presidential Library to the Clinton Presidential Library. I called both of them to ask about the amount of federal funding and the number of certified archivists employed there. Nixon's people were fantastic and very forthcoming. Clinton's wouldn't even connect me with a librarian-- just a PR recording who called me back long after the paper was turned in.

Wait, why is Hillz wearing the hijab in 1983 Harlem?

Hijab Hillary is hot! Literally, it must be like 105 degrees in that photo.

Actually, I think that's a dupatta she's wearing.

I have a picture of John McCain in a burqa.

There are so many neat costumes in politics!

No wonder the Orioles suck...their 5th starter is an ex-President.

Stupid Angelos.

hillary dressed in traditional college hottie garb:

@metropolitan: Well that complicates matters for me.

@SedatedGodzilla: Nixon's library is known for being helpful and pretty forthcoming about, um, the unpleasantness. There's a great essay that Sarah Vowell wrote years back in which she basically tells Bill Clinton to look at the Nixon library when setting up his own. Unfortunately it doesn't look like he followed the advice.

Are there any sharia law nude whipping pictures?

The difference is that with Clinton and Bush, you can see the presidential suit underneath, as if to say "ha ha, I'm president, but okay, I'll dress like you little people." With the Obama pic, there's no trace of presidentiality under the Somali outfit.

Which, to me, is fantastic and the sign of a "gracious guest" as he noted. And he'll probably mention this in tonight's debate and score points for it (momentarily). But our country is kind of racist and insanely patriotic. I just wonder if the "high road" will/can win in a general U.S. election these days.

So, if Bill Clinton throws like a girl (hips facing home plate, left arm out in front, pushing with the elbow instead of the shoulder and wrist etc.) does that mean Hills can touch 90 with movement?

And, @PeteJayhawk: This pic is from 1996, when the O's won 88 games, got the wild card and lost to the Yankees in the ALCS, after they stole game one by getting Jeffery Maier - middle name Hussein - to interfere with the play and paying off Rich Garcia to ignore it.

You know Rudy Gulliani had the nerve to give that little fuck the key to the city? Kid breaks the rules, gets away with it and is rewarded. What a crock of shit.

Is there a point here?

@SedatedGodzilla: Ooh, I'm an archivist -- I love all the Clinton-closed-records mudslinging that's been going on on the SAA listserv. I suppose it could be worse and be the GWB presidential 'library,' of course.

Wait, why is her in a hijab offensive? When I go into a Catholic Orthodox Church I cover my head, same as in a Synagogue, even though I'm not those religions. It's out of respect for their traditions and their holy places.

But, for real, George Clinton? That's hilarious.

@TJBeck: he doesn't throw 'like a girl'. He's a knuckleballer.

Just ask Monica.

@metropolitan: Hillary modelling whitewater land tracts?

@metropolitan:
Where, oh where do you come up with glamour shots of Hillary? (not that I really want to know).

@metropolitan: I hate you for making me admit that, after 8 or 9 beers, I might have found considered hooking up with Hillary during college.

That is, if I ever went to one of those snooty Wellesley parties.

in case you guys didn't get enough of hillary the hottie...

I like it that Macy Gray has started accompanying Hilz on her trips to Cleveland. Brings out the crowds.

Hills is hott, no doubt. I've always thought that and I've used it as a litmus test for whether someone is brain-damaged or not. Likewise with Coulter not being so. And mature Hills no less.

So beware, Wonketeers, you are being judged.

Also Eleanor Clift, much more than Diane Sawyer/BabaWawa. Of course, they're not CNN-era Laurie Dhue, but hey-ho, halcyon days...

Hillary was only wearing that modest Muslim outfit so as to avoid insulting the religion of the simple native people she was visiting.

Unlike, um, the simple native people themselves, who are obviously going to burn in their own culturally appropriate hell.

Of course, this is the picture Hillary should really be worried about:

Hijab just means dressing modestly (I'm not sure if it's just for women or not, but I think so). It also varies from place to place and person to person. These days, it pretty uniformly means covering your hair, but I know in the past that certainly wasn't always the case.

Aww, I kinda always will <3 Hillary a little, mostly because my aunt interacted with her on a few occaisions back when she and Bill were the golden couple of Arkansas and thought she was really sincere and cool and also because looking at these pictures of her as a college student I just feel in my gut that at one point she really believed in shit, and not just for the sake of winning a class debate. But now it's like someone told her that if she could just win, then she could make it all happen but first she has to win at all costs. :( This is the real downside of democracy.

@SedatedGodzilla:

Last year, I took a look at the 990s and you will be shocked to learn that federal funding for the George H. W. Bush Library has increased at least a gazillion fold since you-know-who became president.

Irrelevant footnote: I actually found the online GHWB Library archives useful once. I was able to count how many times GHWB referred to the completely phony "Iraqis tossed Kuwaiti babies out of incubator" story in speeches. GHWB, of course, wanted to get everyone so mad, they would want to invade Iraq and teach everyone a lesson.

@CthuNHu: I think Hillary has probably stopped worrying about photos like that a loooong time ago. It's the Clinton's personal version of "don't ask, don't tell".

@metropolitan:

She was going to make me a pot.

@jagorev: Not that you'd have to go to Wellesley. I'm sure Hills was a regular fixture on the fuck truck.

Hillary's Ironic Army Strikes Again!

Their attire can not compensate for the truth!:

+ Watch video

@econdave:
And could you find dates for my friends?

This is not a Hijab; it is called a Gabi. It is worn by Eritrean and Ethiopian Christians.

Hillary was in Eritrea in 1997.

Oh don't tell me Bill shot all over the Moonie robe?!? The beast.

Oh those mean, divisive Barack people putting out all these photos of the Clintons. We know that hope floats guys people did it because Drudge, The great and powerful OZ said so. Why would he make it up?
