2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWonder woman endorsed Hillary
We caught up with the 1970s TV superheroine and longtime Democrat who endorsed Hillary Clinton even before the Democratic presidential candidate had entered the race last month.
I have very liberal views, and I have very strong views, but I also appreciate the office of the presidency, and theres no one in that office that isnt trying the very best they know how to do the right thing for America, Carter said.
We have enough people working against us. I think we need to start bringing people together, the entertainer added.
When asked her thoughts on the field of 2016 White House hopefuls, Carter said that her pick might already have all the support she needs.
What is interesting to me is that I think the people that are not behind Hillary will never be behind Hillary. And Im not so worried about that, she said.
Saying she endorses Clinton all the way, all the time, Carter, 64, heaped praise on

(20,234 posts)It feels so dangerous out there, and I am kind of tired of people promoting all of this divisiveness and fear. I think thats what kind of led to the Iraq war, was the fear quotient, ... And Im kind of done with that.
Anyone else scratching their head over this?

All the world's waiting for you,
and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fold,
Change their minds,
and change the world.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman.

August 04, 1991|By Michael Kilian, Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON If you ever wondered what happened to Wonder Woman, a.k.a. Lynda Carter, the statuesque actress whose comic-bookesque ``Wonder Woman`` TV series ran from 1976 to 1979, well, she later did a couple of miniseries and some cosmetics commercials and promotions. But mostly she married (in 1984) hot-shot Washington lawyer Robert Altman, junior partner and protege of Clark Clifford, longtime lobbyist/lawyer, presidential confidant and former defense secretary.
While her husband was knocking down the big bucks, setting her up in a fabulous estate in suburban Potomac, Md., with a reported 16 bathrooms, Carter hit the Washington social scene in as big a way as possible, lending her highly visible presence to ballet balls and disease-fighting charity functions and generally carrying on more like a grande dame than a comic book super hero.
According to Friday`s Washington Post, she`s been such a whiz at socializing that her circle of friends now includes Blaine Trump, the much-photographed wife of Donald Trump`s even less-successful younger brother, Robert; defrocked former House Speaker Jim Wright and his wife, Betty; the socially indefatigable Honey Skinner, wife of Illinoisan and Transportation Secretary Sam Skinner; tennis stars Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, and, yes, Dorothy Bush LeBlond, daughter of President and Mrs. Bush.
Not bad for a woman who used to go around in a skin-tight strapless outfit and use magic bracelets to help corral bad guys.
Trouble is, husband Robert and his boss, Clifford, are finding themselves all over the newspapers these days as major players with the capital`s First American Bankshares Inc., a bank holding company that turns out to have been connected with the notorious Bank of Credit and Commerce International. With a client list that allegedly includes some of the world`s least savory terrorists and drug dealers, BCCI has not only won the sobriquet ``sleaziest bank in the world`` but also was hit with indictments in New York charging bribery and fraud.
Altman, although president of First American, says he had no knowledge of any deep connection with BCCI, but is said to be preparing legal paperwork in anticipation of an investigation by federal prosecutors and Federal Reserve Board regulators.
