Bill Maher, on his HBO show “Real Time With Bill Maher” offered some advice to Hillary Clinton if she wants to successfully run for president in 2016: get out of the public spotlight for a while.

“My advice to Hillary: just go away. Go away for a while. We’re going to see each other in a couple years, a lot, because otherwise you’re going to blow this,” Maher said Friday.

Maher’s comments come as the former secretary of State continues to receive criticism for saying that after she left the White House in 2001 she and former President Bill Clinton were “dead broke.”

Bill Clinton recently defended Hillary’s comments saying “it is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt.

    Yes,Yep and Bingo!

    "Maher has spoken critically about Clinton in the past, describing her and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ®, another possible presidential contender, as “corporatist.” And add Cheif Justice Roberts to that corporatist list.

    Yes,Yep,Bingo and T-O-U-C-H-E !

    The fact remains, the Clintons’ net worth was negative as they left the White House.

  3. Hillary was correct on the narrow set of facts. But as has been said many times you have to be worth quite a bit to get so seriously in debt. The larger fact is that the attorneys to whom they owed a pile of money were never going to try to collect.

  4. Maher is correct. And Hillary needs new PR people if they approved what she said in the book and if they like what she’s saying on the road.

  5. I think Bill Maher adds very little to the national conversation but in this case focusing on Mrs. Clinton or on a future presidential run is a silly media obsession. By the way does everyone get to write a book?
