Some little group referring to itself as the Women for Women International has chosen to honor former president “Slick Willie” Clinton as its 2011 “Champion of Peace.” "President Clinton's support of women and girls through Clinton Global Initiative has single-handedly shifted the discussion from a marginal to a central discussion essential to world stability and success,” Women for Women founder, some bimbo by the name of Zainab Salbi, said in presenting the award to old “Slick Willie” during the group’s annual gala dinner Nov. 17 in New York City. Droning on Ms. Salbi said, “History shall always know that it was his commitment that shifted the issue and gave it much-needed attention.” Adding, “I, and all the women I work with, are grateful, grateful and grateful for his leadership.”
In accepting the award, “Slick Willie” quipped that he is thankful to women for offsetting men’s mistakes. On what was supposed to be a serious note, he advocated empowerment for women and “the liberation of men” from their traditional role as aggressors. "What [we're] trying to do here is change the behavior of history," Clinton said. "If we do it together, we'll still make some mistakes, but we'll still be stumbling in the right direction." Apparently, Women for Women International was organized to provide female survivors of war, civil strife, and other conflicts with the tools and resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency, thereby promoting viable civil societies. What? And the best candidate they could find to bestow this little honor of theirs was, “Slick Willie?”
According to the group’s website, the organization, now in its 18th year, which is an amazing fact in and of itself, has helped more than 316,000 “socially excluded women,” in eight different war-torn countries, including Afghanistan, Bosnia, Congo, Iraq, and South Sudan. Sorry, but by they’re selecting “Slick Willie” as the winner of their silly little award, they rob from themselves any level of credibility that they might otherwise enjoy. They also demonstrate an obvious lack of seriousness regarding their supposed mission. I mean here is a guy with a long history of not only mistreating women at nearly every opportunity, but who has also been unfaithful to his wife on a very public level. He is a serial sexual harasser who has a very low opinion of women.
