By Italian standards, former President Bill Clinton should consider himself lucky his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, only joked about her experiences with "evil and bad men."
Talk about needing a spew alert over your morning latte. A former Italian prime minister got to read in his least-favorite newspaper an open letter from his wife berating him for his flirting and public marriage proposals to other women. She then laid down the gauntlet. She demanded a public apology, since he didn't see fit to give her a private one.
Mamma Mia! What is a philandering politician to do?
It's almost Cupid's Day so apparently the best recourse was to write his own public Valentine, which included begging for her forgiveness and in closing offering a huge kiss. The New York Times writes up all the juicy details.

Ummm ... DeAnn? Could it be that Hillary was joking about the "evil and bad" Republicans who scrutinized the Clintons' every move and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars yet still came up with not a damn thing? You know Whitewater (no Clinton indictments), Vince Foster (nothing there), Filegate (no indictments), Travelgate (great big nothing) ...
And why not a story to make Henry Hyde, Rudy Guiliani, John McCain or Newt Gingrich break out in sweats? Not one of them is able to keep their pants up either.
