Be born a fern or a begonia or an African violet or a college student attending Grinnell.
Read About How 19-year-old Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff Was Told By A Clinton Staffer Which Question To Ask At A Campaign Event. Meanwhile If Bossy Were There She Would Have Asked Does Bill Wear Boxers Or Briefs?
Avitable says
November 14, 2007 at 8:36 amI’m sure that type of thing happens with every political event. It’s recockulous!
Nancy says
November 14, 2007 at 8:45 amYeah, I’ve heard this is a common practice among politicians, it’s just put in the lime light when they get busted.

November 14, 2007 at 8:46 amWhich reminds me, I really do need to water that shriveled brown potted thing in the corner . . .
Howard says
November 14, 2007 at 8:52 amBecoming an African Violet is not to be taken lightly. It will require constant vigilance. You will always have to carry an umbrella and run around campus looking like the Gorton’s fisherman in your rubbers. The simply fact is that as an African Violet you will be beautiful; however, if you get wet… You. Will. Die.

November 14, 2007 at 8:55 amI am not a Pro-Hillary at all but I find it quite funny that she is being put into the spotlight on this…I am sure they all do it.
Get-Off says
November 14, 2007 at 9:06 amIn the immortal words of my pal George: “he said ‘I dont know man, she kinda funny and all.’ I said “I know, everybody funny, now you funny too.”
No big deal, now Hillary funny too. Why stop the madness when there is so much room to jump on the bandwagon?
Desiree says
November 14, 2007 at 9:51 amLOL!
Doug says
November 14, 2007 at 9:58 amSorry your question is reserved for Monica.
All Adither says
November 14, 2007 at 10:01 amAfrican Violets are hearty, yo. I just had to kill mine by dumping it in the Yard Waste bin. (I didn’t like the person who gave it to me).
Jozet at Halushki says
November 14, 2007 at 10:06 amNo, no, no, no, no.
The question is “Does Hillary wear boxers or briefs?”
Although, I’m betting on a pink chenille thong.
With a small bell on the crotch.
The Domestic Goddess says
November 14, 2007 at 10:11 amIt’s a good thing it wasn’t an aloe plant. I kill those. Apparently you are supposed to take care of them by benign neglect. There is a such thing as too much water.
I’m pretty sure they plant people at ALL events. How else could the questions be so STOOPID?

November 14, 2007 at 10:31 amI was once asked to be the person picked out of the crowd by the magician before the show.
magician = politician
Laura says
November 14, 2007 at 10:45 amI’d ask Hillary if she prefers baking cookies or tending to her plants.
Mrs. G. says
November 14, 2007 at 10:45 amOh Bosssy, it wouldn’t surprise me if Bill just let the boys roam free in a laissez faire form of self government. As always, my first laugh of the day. Thanks.
PunditMom says
November 14, 2007 at 11:12 amPunditMom would like it if Bossy would moderate the next set of debates!Pundit
sue says
November 14, 2007 at 11:29 amI would love it if someone did that to me. Then I would stand up and ask Hil how a lifelong Cubs fan suddenly becomes a (shudder) New York Yankees fan, and doesn’t she know that she probably lost a good portion of the Midwest on that bonehead move alone?
Heather says
November 14, 2007 at 11:36 amI’m guessing Bill goes alfresco. Much easier access.
Chris says
November 14, 2007 at 11:46 amI’m betting Bill is in a mesh banana hammock or he freeballs it…
Biddy says
November 14, 2007 at 12:03 pmi’m thinking he’s a briefs man. he just has that “i wear tighty whities” aura about him 😉
Laurie Foolery says
November 14, 2007 at 12:21 pmGood one, Bossy! Way to stump her with a question she’s unlikely to know!
Kristabella says
November 14, 2007 at 1:15 pmAnd then Hilary’s head would explode.
Which would be 17 kinds of awesome.
MammaLoves says
November 14, 2007 at 1:28 pmBefore I even opened the post I was thinking to myself, “I wonder if the boxer/brief question was a plant too.”
I really can’t get that fired up about it. Shoot they all do it. Wasn’t it just FEMA that held an entire press conference made up of plants?
MammaLoves says
November 14, 2007 at 1:30 pmAnd while I’m not a Hillary supporter at this point, people have to be kidding themselves if they think she has enough time to actually involve herself with worrying about who is asking the questions. She just has bad staff.
mp says
November 14, 2007 at 4:31 pmi’m not surprised at all..these people don’t want a person with a brain or an independant thought..especially a college student, make their “person” look like an idiot!
David says
November 14, 2007 at 4:52 pmGee, I was ready to be all disturbed about this, but reading the comments, it’s actually a non-issue. I don’t like it, though, and I’ve been a Hillary supporter for a while now.
Eliza says
November 14, 2007 at 5:47 pmI attended Grinnell in the late-80’s. One of the coolest things my first year was having every one of the Democratic presidential candidates speak on campus. The events were pretty small and not very many townies attended. I always thought the questions were those of the questioner, not plants. But that was 20 years ago and I was pretty naive.
Prof. J says
November 14, 2007 at 7:11 pmIt always irritates me when the supposed “good guys” do stupid things and them justify those actions by saying, “but everyone does it.” Oh, that makes it right.
That said, I’m sure Bill goes commando.
zenmomma says
November 14, 2007 at 7:42 pmIf I were Hillary, I’d have Bill wearing a chastity belt!
Surcie says
November 14, 2007 at 10:43 pmI had no idea! Bossy’s blog is not only fun and hilarious, but it is also highly educational.
erin says
November 14, 2007 at 11:27 pmI always picture “Slick Willy” in a thong:)
Her Bad Mother says
November 15, 2007 at 3:05 amI would like to be a begonia, if I could. Please.

November 15, 2007 at 9:08 amOh, Lord. I am so moving to Canada.
meleah rebeccah says
November 15, 2007 at 12:33 pmBill goes commando. (At least thats what I suspect.)
Jason says
November 15, 2007 at 1:13 pmYes, but is a Clinton plant poisonous to cats?
mothergoosemouse says
November 15, 2007 at 9:12 pmWhat would a Bill Clinton plant be? Marijuana?
Devra says
November 15, 2007 at 10:40 pmDammit. Bossy better be able to ask that question because, if not, I may be forced to scope out Bill for Visible Panty Lines (VPL) in order to figure it out on my own. I really do NOT want to do that. But if it is important to the American people, I will.
nutmeg says
November 19, 2007 at 10:08 amI would ask her if it was collagen or Botox or both.
Dawn-Enigma Artist says
November 23, 2007 at 10:06 amI used to live in Grinnell, Iowa. I was a bartender at Duffy’s and helped many a college student get their buzz on.
Too bad she didn’t attend inebriated.
The college student, not Hillary. Of course that could be fun to watch!
dw says
November 29, 2007 at 7:06 amto the question
The question is “Does Hillary wear boxers or briefs?”
