Need a little help here, about who made a comment about Bill Clinton's mother.

[Archae]

Describing her as a bar-hopping floozy.
I think it was Ann Coulter, but I'm not sure.
Anyone have a URL or cite?

1. Newt's mother? n/t

[salin]

10. That is what I remember as well.

So ironic given the less than moral behavior that her son has exhibited over the years.

11. Connie Chung asked Newt's mom what she thought of Hillary

and the answer was "bitch"

At least, that's what I remember.

2. It was Ted Olson'wife

The one who died on 9/11 I think her name was Barbara Olson.

8. Well, every cloud has a silver lining, doesn't it?

Whopper of the Week: Barbara Olson

"I wish to apologize to President Clinton and his family for my insensitivity. My choice of words was very unfortunate. I did not intend to demean Virginia Kelley or her memory and I regret having done so."

--Republican activist Barbara Olson, as quoted by Lloyd Grove in his July 31 "Reliable Sources" column in the Washington Post.

"Look at Bill Clinton's mother, as opposed to George W.'s mother. Is your mother a barfly who gets used by men? (Italics Chatterbox's.) Or is your mother a strong woman who demanded respect for her ideas and always received it?"

--The statement Olson was apologizing for, quoted approvingly by Toby Harnden in the July 25 London Telegraph and disapprovingly by Grove in his July 27 column.

on edit: I seriously doubt that Olson was really apologetic for her statements. I believe she was only sorry it came back on her.

6. Original article was in Britain's Daily Telegraph

(and I really wish I still had the link)
It was a doozy of a story right after the glory days of *'s selection - Danielle Crittenden, Barbara Lideen, Barbara Olson, and Kate O'Beirne were sitting together on a verandah drinking gin and tonic (did your irony meter just go off?) and Barbara Olson made the remark. She did later apologize.

Remember those four names......

7. Dead -unt Barbara Olson...

hey, I'm sure she was someone's aunt (the missing letter was "a")
You didn't think I would call the late and lovely Barbara a cunt, did you?

9. When I was single

When I was single I was a bar-hopping floozy. Man that was fun.
