Q: I found this interesting Hilary Clinton “stand by your man” scarf in a thrift store and wonder if you can tell me anything about it. It’s silky and measures 34 by 34 inches. I’ve shown it to lots of people and we’re all entertained by it.

A: This scarf, picturing Tammy Wynette, Hillary Clinton, and Tipper Gore, satirizes some comments Hillary Clinton made during her husband Bill’s campaign for President in 1992. When questioned about her support for Bill in the midst of allegations of his infidelity, she famously said “I’m not sitting here – some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette. I’m sitting here because I love him…” This referred to Tammy Wynette’s 1989 hit song “Stand by Your Man.” The bag of “Hillary’s Homemade Cookies” pictured on the scarf refers to a comment she made in another 1992 interview when she was asked about continuing to work while her husband was governor of Arkansas. She said “You know, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life.” The scarf in fair condition sold online recently for $30.
