A woman who claims Bill Clinton raped her in 1978 has repeated her accusation on national television, as Hillary Clinton launched her long-awaited book that essentially ignored the allegation.
Juanita Broaddrick (courtesy: Fox News)
Juanita Broaddrick, a former nursing home administrator, said during an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes program, that Clinton, while he was still attorney general of Arkansas, sexually assaulted her.
At first known as "Jane Doe No. 5" in Kenneth Starr's impeachment report to Congress, she had filed an affidavit in the Paula Jones case, at first denying Clinton had made any unwelcome sexual advances to her. But Broaddrick later claimed to investigators for independent counsel Starr that she was raped.
A Clinton campaign worker at the time, she described a meeting in her hotel room in which Clinton held her down forcibly on a bed and bit her lips while engaging in sexual intercourse. After the encounter, Clinton allegedly told her not to worry because he was sterile.
She first told her story to the Wall Street Journal in 1999.
Clinton, through his attorneys shortly after the Journal report appeared, claimed the allegations were false. But Broaddrick, in her interview, said the former two-term president assaulted her, then "casually" asked her to put ice on her swollen bottom lip he had bitten during the alleged attack.
"Then he … put on his sun glasses and walked out the door," Broaddrick said.

I find it so funny not one of you Dems can answer a question when the story is all out there. Is it George W Bush's fault Clinton Lied Under oath was Impeached, had an affair while in office. The Clinton Death list of all who knew anything about whitewater. The rape charges. Bill clinton is the most corrupted president this country has ever had. FACT

This will be handled as another quid-pro-quo. Political backscratching will take place and not a thing will be done about it. Why? Bill Clinton is now an untouchable, his wife is running for president. She happens to be the most intelligent woman in America. The Clintonista Spin squad will be put back into action and this poor woman will be run backwards into the dirt, or she will turn up dead.
Billy boy is too much like a god, no one will dare to disturb the throne.

Never gonna happen.
From a legal standpoint, if Arkansas has a statute of limitations on rape, I'm sure it's expired by now. Additionally, there is no physical evidence to prove an assault took place. It's just her word against his, and who do you think is gonna win that one: a former POTUS or a former nursing home administrator who is perceived as having an axe to grind?
From a realistic standpoint, if "Slick Willy" can avoid being impeached, what makes you think he'll get convicted on an even older and (some would say) even more outlandish charge?

Millions of dollars have been spent investigating these alleged incidents and there is not enough evidence to bring a case. That is not to say that this incident didn't happen, but it is difficult to believe these stories that come out years later. If we had the truth during the first Clinton election, perhaps history would be different today. At this point I think it is not very credible and not very relevant except to those who choose to believe any negative rumor about the Clinton's.

Never, even if he should. Why:
1. He is Bll Clinton, The man did not get impeached by a republican Congress. If he escape Newt Gingrich h can escape a jury.
2. His wife for who has a good chance of becoming the next president (I hate to say it I am a republican) would pardon him the second she is sworn in.
3. the story is not getting enough attention. (I would know, I am a Fox News junkie)

Clinton will face rape charges right after Mark Foley gets officially charged with being a pedophile...

I think the statute of limitations has run on that one. I'd rather have a smart snake as President than the current Dumbolina. You need to get laid and stop worrying about everyone else's sex life. Clinton may have an overactive libido, but your Georgie Porgie Bible-thumping Bush is going to go down in history as one of our greatest villains.

And the conservative obsession with Bill Clinton continues.
You guys are so full of venom and hatred for the man, I can't take anything you say about him as gospel.

He raped our military and got away with it.
What makes you think he'll get stuck with a single accusation?
