Howard Stern Wants Hillary Clinton's People To Call Him

Imagine a scenario in which -- Oh, God, no -- Senator Hillary Clinton sweeps tonight, winning in Indiana and squeaking by in North Carolina with the tobacco-spitting Jesse Helms electorate. If that were to happen, Clinton would almost be compelled to appear on The Howard Stern Show, a demographic tailor-made for the Clinton Touch. Ironically, in order to do that the Junior Senator from New York would sort of have to throw her principles under the bus.

Stern, whose shoe is about as Id-oriented as you can get, is the farthest thing from the Wellesley crowd. But he has been a big Clinton fan, oddly. Isn't it curious -- strategic? -- how some of the biggest *alleged* womanizers (Think: Jack Nicholson) are touting a Hillary Clinton Presidency? From Cindy Adams:

"Howard Stern. 'I'm solidly behind Hillary. I want her when that red phone rings at 3 in the morning. Who knows who Obama really is? Hillary should come on my show. Maybe she's worried how I'd handle her, but Sen. Arlen Specter was on selling his book, and it was great for him. Hillary should do it. I'd get her a whole new audience. But, see, we don't push people to come on. If they reach out for us, great.' Howard, hon, she's not just 'people.' Not just some one-armed starlet who'll juggle with her clothes off. We're talking presidential candidate here. 'Well, her people should call us.'"

He'll have to promise not to throw bologna at the breasts of the Senator.
