Air F**K One

Not sure if the headline refers to Bill or the Hogs.

 

I really don't even understand how this sleazy story got fact-checked. There are a lot of interesting things in there about his business relationships, but the whole wink-wink implication that he's fucking Gina Gershon is embarrassing journalism.

 

His explanation, smarmy enough to make me say 'oh, fuck off' to the TV, was this: 'Well, the sources may not be known to the readers, but I know who they are.' Then he repeats 45 times 'I never SAID he did anything wrong!'

If Hillary doesn't end up as VP, how long until she and Bill finally call it quits? Do they really need to maintain the charade once the campaign is over?

 

I dunno perhaps those colorful pant suits that she took to wearing on the trail has rekindled Bill's interest in her.

 

I'm sure the VF story would have included that if it were true.

 

The often irritating Jack Shafer at Slate got an intern or someone to tally up every anonymous citation:

* one former aide to Clinton who is still in occasional affectionate touch with him
* Another former aide, trusted by Clinton for his good judgment
* A longtime Clinton-watcher, who has had ties to the former president since his first campaign for governor of Arkansas
* Yet another long-serving Clinton aide
* friends who worry that Clinton has never been the same since his quadruple-bypass surgery
* one senior aide, who has known and served both Clintons for years
* a participant [in a 1992 condom presentation to Clinton]
* one former longtime aide
* A former Clinton aide
* one of [Maggie] Williams' former colleagues and friends
* A range of Clinton loyalists
* one former aide
* someone who knows [current Clinton aide Doug Band] well
* a former Clinton aide
* four former Clinton aides
* the aide
* another aide
* several Clinton aides and friends
* A former Burkle associate
* One person, who has worked at the highest levels for both Clintons
* A Clinton aide
* A Clinton adviser
* one Clinton aide
* Many of those who know [Clinton] well
* one former aide
* One senior aides
* one of [Clinton's] closest former aides
* Aides to both Clintons
* the aide
* Aides
* this aide
* a person close to [Edward] Kennedy
* a Clinton campaign official
* aides
* Some aides
* Clinton aides
* one senior Clinton adviser
* [Clinton] associates
* friends

That's remarkable.

 

The fact that Clinton is basically accused, without anything other than hearsay, of fucking Walter Mondale's daughter is just insane.

 

How is this different than "Game of Shadows"?

 

Bill Clinton*

 

Which only proves that not all rumors are bad.

I would have loved to hear him say, "That story is full of lies. Well, except the Gina Gershon part. I'm boning that like I own it."

 

And as far as we know, they might all be the same person, sliced into enough different descriptions to make it seem like 39 people.

 

Gina is not happy:
