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!
