Bill’s bimbo backs Hillary

Can Gennifer Flowers do it for Hillary Clinton? The Little Rock mistress who emerged in 1992 as Bill Clinton's first 'smoking bimbo' has promised to vote for her former rival. It's a woman thing. The support of Flowers, these days a 'lounge singer' at 57, is music to Hillary's ears because her White House race depends on the women's vote.

"I can't help but want to support my own gender," says Flowers. "I just didn't think it would be her."

It is only a year ago that Flowers's attempt at revenge against the Clintons came to a bitter end. A judge finally dismissed her suit against Bill, Hillary and James Carville, the political consultant, all of whom she accused of defaming her as loose with the truth after she confessed to sex with Clinton during the New Hampshire primary of 1992.

Flowers (above) has pitched up in Las Vegas, the Last Chance Saloon for ageing entertainers. It is a sad story. She had been a local television 'personality' when she succumbed to the then- Arkansas governor, with a cabaret act on the side. With her fee from stripping for Penthouse magazine, she moved to New Orleans. She even married. But Hurricane Katrina destroyed her house and her marriage.

Her declaration for Hillary won't be the first time Flowers has helped garner the votes of women. In her Penthouse spread, she confided that Bill Clinton bestowed world-class oral sex. My theory is that while Clinton scored with blue-collar males by lining his pick-up truck with Astro turf for al fresco couplings, he drew women's votes for his willingness to please with cunnilingus.

Is Flowers onto something? She also revealed Slick Willy once surfaced to tell her 'Hillary has eaten more pussy than I have'. That revelation was a starting point for rumours about Hillary's sexuality that persist to this day, with gossip that she is having an affair with her aide Huma Abedin. Americans have been preoccupied with oral sex since it was banned by Puritan 'sodomy' laws. There are votes in this that could make all the difference. ·
