Fox is reporting tonight that a lengthy and "brutal" Vanity Fair article will come out next week concerning Bill Clinton.
Todd Purdue, husband of Dee Dee Myers, formerly Clinton's press secretary, wrote the article. The author has supposedly covered Clinton for 16 years.
Among other things, the article says that Clinton is out of control, consumed by cavernous narcissism, and has been doing a lot of inappropriate behavior by seeing a lot of women on the road.
The article also mentions his touching off a string of controversies during Hillary's campaign.
A Clinton spokesman denies the allegations.
Maybe Vanity is out of control. They recently sugestive photos of a fifteen year old !
My guess is that narcissits don't age gracefully, especially when they are not getting their way.
The article is titled "The Comeback Id" and is posted in eight parts at

Waldo, that is probably something made up by the OBAMA people.

the vast right wing conspiracy
In all reality who really cares?

and that's about all I got to say about that
Item of note
The term "Vanity Fair" comes from the book, Pilgrim's Progress, written in 1678.
A town fair was held in a village called Vanity.
Well I care and I think the man is a disgrace to his state, the Governorship of Arkansas, his nation and the office of President. He totally disgraces the values of marriage and I think it sets a terrible example for young people. Unfortunately it is more evidence of the deterioration of morals and values in our nation and in the world. And I think it must be very painful for his Daughter.
Frank
every hear the saying "the more you stir a turd the worse it stinks"? Bill Clinton didn't do anything that 99% of politions don't do. He just happened to pick a "tell all and get famous". Nuff already.
The only thing Bill did that the REST of em don't do is get caught! And the only reason it's hard on his daughter is because people insist on throwin that first stone........over and over and over.......get my point?
another old saying "let dead dogs lie"
The only problem is that this 'dead dog' just keep on liein'! ;D ;D
Frank,
Very well said.
I think everyone is agreeing with you.
I don't agree with him, other than gettin caught with his cigar out Clinton was a reasonably good president.
OMG I can just see it now. Hillary hugging all these men during her campaign and Obama talking to and hugging all these women. Wonder where the "media" will go with that? I"m wondering ::) which of these is just a friendly gesture and which ones are they planning to meet "after hours"? ::) ::) Don't they realize you are NOT to acknowledge the opposite sex during campaigning?? Don't they know where that will lead? Surely McCain isn't doing any of this. Not a good republican. ;D

Check out the snopes.com account of the Bill Clinton body-count:
http://snopes.com/politics/clintons/bodycount.asp
I did and thank you.
Dale, SNOOPS is probably an Arkansas Democrat group, I prefer Teresa's account of Clinton. SNOOPS is probably a government coverup. Next thing someone will be trying to say that Monica raped Bill. Bills excuse will be "THE CIGAR MADE ME DO IT", then we will have to ban cigars from the Whitehouse and the Clinton house.

Flo, what I was referring to or my intent was "SNOOPS', it;'s dictionary definition was my intent, SNOPE is not a word, I was making a joke to DALE.

LOL... well, I tend to almost always agree with you Frank. At least you make me laugh. ;-)
He might not have had his hand in the front of the suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths.. ..but I would tend to believe that he had his fingers in it..somehow.
And just because Monica is still kicking doesn't mean squat. :P
Fox reports that Bill Clinton, today, called the Vanity Fair author "Sleazy" and a "Scumbag."
He also accused Obama of silently supporting black activists who have been "sliming" Hillary.
Well, maybe we have "Ole Slick Willy" to thank for putting Hillary in the back seat of the buggy. He has run his mouth and disengaged his brain for a lot of times. Bless him -- if that is what he has accomplished.
Am I a Democrat??????? Nope !!!
Bill Clinton more than likely lost the election for Hillary when he began spouting off during the South Carolina primary.
I wanted Hillary to win the nomination, I think McCain has a better chance of beating Hillary than he does beating Hussein Obama.

Don't forget to mention the "rest of the story" about the Vanity Fair article.
Frank,
You may be right.
Her "concession" speech tonight left things wide open.
Although she lauded Obama she did not acknowlege he has won. The thrust of her speech, as it has been so many times, was about Hillary. By not conceding, she appears to be challenging him that he has to select her as his running mate. She wants the "people" to log on to her web sit and tell her what to do.
The news organizations were reporting a couple days ago he was only willing to give her a cabinet position.
Apparently, she will not settle for a cabinet appointment and the talks between the campaigns have not been going well for her causing her to take this tactic.
She may succeed.
I agree with you Waldo, it seems it is all about Hillary. The Chicago priest wasn't so far off IMO, although his presentation was disrespectful and not in the keeping with the Obama campaign. I will certainly be disappointed should she be the VP candidate, as I think the Clintons do not belong in the Obama administration. I think Joe Biden would be an excellent running mate and hope he gets the nomination. I suppose this will drag on to Denver. Certainly a lot of 'I's in this paragraph! I sound like Hillary! LOL!! And Frank, Barack is a fitting adversary for Johen. This should be an interesting election!
That catholic priest has been suspended.
He is using the excuse he did not know the cameras were rolling.
You know, the American people deserve whatever they get at this point. Obama actually has a chance of winnin. All these people that are buyin the bulls*** theory of the democratic nominee that we can just say ok, we're done you guys are on your own now and bring everybody home without any consequences is fundamentally STUPID. I am publicly statin I am goin to go cast my vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE. John McCain may be Bushs stool pigeon but he has at least a slightly more realistic view of the fix we are in in Iraq. Hillary is just as big a bull artist as Obama is. All these stupid stupid people that are gonna try to elect Obama are screwin with my world and my families security and there ain't a ( sure wish I could use the cussword that fits here Ma) thing I can do about it. So all you guys who think your candidate is just a friggin prize remember that a year from now when you find out what kind of people they really are. My participation in political discussion is officially over. >:(
Looks like Hillary may be getting cold feet or has changed her mind.
She was supposed to deliver a concession speech at 10:00 am mountain time but as of 10:20 had not yet left her house.
I say rather than Obama picking Hillary for VP, he choose Jan Sebelius.
Who is Jan Sebelius? Hope she is better than the leader of the this state.
I should have said Kathleen.
I think that Hillary gave a great speech this morning! Had she appeared this 'real' during the campaign she may have been more difficult to defeat. Her baggage weighed a lot though, and Bill kept loading it down. He did nothing to help her IMO. I am glad she was so gracious today, and gave up the attitude she had on Tuesday night. I think she kept her delegates as a lever to get her health care agenda as a plank in party platform. I did notice today that she said the party would be united with universal health care. This may be a concession she won during the meeting with Obama; that way she will have imortality as being the creator and champion of that legislation. This will be an interesting convention!
I agree.
One of the things about either Clinton, they will hammer with a big fist first and then be conciliatory, courteous, and gracious if it looks like they approached incorrectly.
So . . . being as objective as possible . . . what position do you think Bill Clinton should play in an Obama administration?
Bill has too much baggage to be considered for any part of Obama's administration. He should stay in the pasture.
From what I hear, on both CNN and Fox, Obama does not want him even remotely around.
If Obama should be forced (for the good of the party) to pick her for his running mate, then he gets Billary.
I really hope that Obama does not choose Hillary as a running mate. I would like to see the presidency won on his own without the Clinton influence. I would like to see Hillary as maybe HEW guru and Bill as ambassador to Timbuktu; required to remain in residence! LOL!
Someone on TV the said, "Well now Bill gets to hear the words he has dreaded most.....Hi Honey, I'm home."
