Loose Cannon

Filed under: Politik > Hillary Clinton

billclinton.jpg

Controversy is engulfing the Clintons…and Bill is not taking it quietly!

The Bill Clinton piece written by Todd Purdum for the July Vanity Fair featured former advisers criticizing the ex-President for bringing negative attention to Hillary Clinton's presidential bid and for surrounding himself with 'friends' who might discredit her campaign.

On Monday, the former Prez let loose…like a wild cannon. He ranted to the Huffington Post that Purdum is "sleazy," "dishonest," "slimy" and a "scumbag."

Not the kind of words you'd expect from an ex-Pres, right?

They're supposed to be better than us…dignified and shizz!

When the HuffPo reporter reminded Bubba that Purdum was married to his former press spokesperson, Dee Dee Myers, Clinton wasn't phased.

Clinton reportedly went on to say, "That's all right– he's still a scumbag. Let me tell ya– he's one of the guys — he's one of the guys that propagated all those lies about Whitewater to Kenneth Starr. He's just a dishonest guy– can't help it."

Sounds a little defensive to us!

He should've just left it alone!

President Clinton's spokesman Jay Carson issued a statement in response to the HuffPo's write up of the encounter with Billy the Cannon, "President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article, but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it."

Too late now!

    I am personally very involved with the Democratic party and work in LA. For many years after Mr. Clinton left office I would hear rumors about him having flings with different stars around town. I can say certainlly that the Gerson rumor is true! He has more than one g/f in LA and he is always hanging around town with movie stars. Having dinner and drinks with Kevin Spacey and David Spade, ETC….Its all true, if you notice, Mr. Clinton doesnt deny anyting. He just calls the reporter "sleezy". I love him to death, I couldnt even talk when I met him the first time, HOWEVER….There is a dark side to him and he cant control himself around women. I dont trust him back in the oval office. If you notice, he has been out of control on the campaign trail for the last year. Mr President, will you please save some face, and the demo party and stop acting like a 21 year old frat boy at ASU.

    Hillary's biggest assest?
    Or just a giant asshole?
    The reason? No one want's Hillary to win more than Bill. Suddenly there's no room in the history books for the blue dress/Lewensky. He wanted to go down in history as the first husband/wife team to both serve as president. Sorry Bill, it's too late to re-write history. Everyone will be reading about your scandals.

    I saw Purdum interviewed about Clinton's tirade. Purdum said that Bill did not complain about any of the facts in the article. I just read the article last night (8 pages). Bill is out of touch and no one has the nerve to tell him to control himself. That's part of the article about how his assisstant takes care of him and how everyone dislikes him ( the assisstant). It's also about all the famous women he's been seeen out with whille Hillary has been campaigning.

    My hat goes off to former President Bill Clinton for speaking the truth. The truth is never wrong.
    He has every right to comment on someone who is trying to destroy him politically.
    Bill has nothing to apologize for. He can say whatever he wants. That will be the day when someone of his stature has to shut up and say nothing because it might offend the Republicans. Again….these people make me sick. You rock Bill. Keep on doing what your doing. The people love you.

    How can anyone believe that Hillary would be a strong leader for this country, when she can't even establish ground rules within her own marriage. It was bad enough watching her deal with him humiliating her when she was just the 'first lady'. I can't imagine -WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF OUR PRESIDENT WAS PUBLICLY DEALING WITH AN ADULTEROUS SPOUSE? WHILE TRYING TO LOOK STRONG IN FRONT OF ALL OTHER WORLD'S LEADERS?
    Listen to what he is now saying. Calling his accusers "scumbags" is very different from calling them 'liars'. He's not denying anything, just hurling insults. That should tell you something………….hmmmmm?

    That Vomity Fair article was a piece of shit. No sources were named and they insinuated all sorts of bullshit. This man has raised millions so that poor children in 3rd world countries could have much need HIV medication.

    Todd Purdham is a fucking shit eater and is married to that ugly ass bull dyke DEE DEE Meyers. They both live on turds and piss and serve no purpose.

    Bill yells at sky… the sky says fuck you.

    He lost his magic a long time ago. I'm surprised anyone still takes him seriously at this point. He has shown his true color and America is not impressed.

    Now that it's over for Hillary, Bill can go back to jetting around the world in private planes and picking up hoes! Gina Gershon clean it up… Bill's coming home!

    Re: lj – what facts? Practically the entire article was unsourced gossip. This guy was supposed to be a journalist. Hell, Perez Hilton writes better than this.

    The DNC, through Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid especially, said the whole race would be wrapped up this week. This is how they wrapped it up, by yellow journalism at its best. Nothing better to shut up a candidate that won't go away than dig up old baggage and run it as news. Next, expect to see how Hillary was the "real" vice president during the Clinton years in articles such as these, to give Obama a graceful way out of putting her on as his vice president. Because even as he's praising her, you can tell he doesn't like her very much.

    "When the HuffPo reporter reminded Bubba that Purdum was married to his former press spokesperson, Dee Dee Myers, Clinton wasn't phased."

    Perez, it's not 'phased'. It should be 'fazed'. Other than that, Bill Clinton is a major tool. People always talk about his so-called charm, but I think he's just a sneaky ass blame placer. If Hillary doesn't win, I don't give their marriage much of a chance. She won't need him then. As it is, he's hurting her campaign more than he's helped it. He needs to shut up, and go eat some peanuts with Jimmy Carter…maybe help him build some houses while he's at it.

    Another example of how NOONE takes responsibility for their own actions.

    Seemingly the accusations are true (he didn't deny them), therefore he can only attack the integrity of the writer.

    People are so blinded by this family that they refuse to acknowledge that they do wrong. Instead of blaming the individual responsible, blqame the messenger. Wake up, this family is scum!

    Ummm that reporter couldn't get one quote from one person. He couldn't get one aid, one pissed off campaighn volunteer to give a direct quote. In Journalism that is called Lies! If you don't have source thats can be cited you can't publish Jack shit, that was basically a Rampage Editorial Piece. He couldn't even find One women he supposely Macked on to say that he did. Vanity Fair is full of shit, maybe they thought having a Preggo Angelina Jolie wasn't enought to sell this months magazine.

    Re: Dee De – I agree completely- problem is, she wanted to seem more experienced than Obama- so she needed to use those years she spent as "first lady' as presidential training camp. For me- this is the reason I find her "unelectable" We need a president that has a supportive spouse- not committing adultery & getting caught. I trust Michelle Obama to refrain from sabotaging her husband's presidency. CAN ANYONE SAY THAT ABOUT BILL?
    This time, he won't even have the job of the presidency to keep him occupied.
    A recipe for disaster..
