Bill Clinton Denied His Kiss
Filed Under Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton | Leave a Comment
Don’t you hate it when you’re moving in to give your wife a kiss and she jerks her head away and instead turns to kiss another man? It happens to the best of us. Maybe not so much.
But, it happened recently to Bill Clinton when he leaned — lips puckered up — to give Hillary Clinton a peck on the lips. Before Bill Clinton can get close enough, Hillary Clinton quickly turns away and instead finds someone else to kiss — Barack Obama.
Bill Clinton was denied by Hillary Clinton!

Gina Gershon and Bill Clinton?
Filed Under Bill Clinton, Gina Gershon, Todd Purdum, Vanity Fair | 5 Comments
Bill Clinton lashed out at a Vanity Fair reporter yesterday after the magazine published an article detailing concerns about the former president’s behavior since leaving the White House.
Here’s an example from Todd S. Purdum’s report that has gotten Bill Clinton so steamed — an unsourced rumor that Bill Clinton has been friendly with Gina Gershon and other women:
Over the last few years, aides have winced at repeated tabloid reports about Clinton’s episodic friendship and occasional dinners out with Belinda Stronach, a twice-divorced billionaire auto-parts heiress and member of the Canadian Parliament 20 years his junior, or at more recent high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip that Clinton has been seen visiting with the actress Gina Gershon in California. There has been talk of a female friend in Chappaqua, a woman in a bar at a meeting of the Aspen Institute, and a public sighting of Clinton, Bing, and a ravishing entourage in a New York elevator that, a former Clinton aide told me, led a business leader who saw them to say: I don’t know what the guy was doing, but it was so clear that it was just no good.
Bill Clinton didn’t hold back in responding to the Vanity Fair article, reports Editor and Publisher:
“[He's] sleazy,” he said referring to Purdum. “He’s a really dishonest reporter…. There’s just five or six blatant lies in there. But he’s a real slimy guy.
When Fowler reminded him that Purdum was married to his former press spokeswoman, DeeDee Myers, Clinton said, “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 brought out all those lies about Whitewater to Kenneth Starr. He’s just a dishonest guy– can’t help it….
“You know he didn’t use a single name, cite a single source in all those things he said. It’s just slimy. It’s part of the national media’s attempt to nail Hillary for Obama. It’s the most biased press coverage in history. It’s another way of helping Obama. They had all these people standing up in this church cheering, calling Hillary a white racist, and he [Obama] didn’t do anything about it. The first day he said ‘Ah, ah, ah well.’ Because that’s what they do– he gets other people to slime her.
“So then they saw the movie they thought this is a great ad for John McCain– maybe I better quit the church. It’s all politics. It’s all about the bias of the media for Obama. Don’t think anything about it.”
“But I’m telling ya, all it’s doing is driving her supporters further and further away– because they know exactly what it is– this has been the most rigged coverage in modern history…”

I Went To See Bill Clinton Today
Filed Under Bill Clinton, Indiana primary | 9 Comments
Bill Clinton came to the Crown Point YMCA this afternoon and put on a good political rally for Hillary supporters and other curious onlookers enjoying the fact that Indiana is finally getting some attention from people who usually flyover the Hoosier state on their way to California or New York.

Bill said that Hillary Clinton had put in some good words for Crown Point, so that was nice to hear.
I have to admit it was fun to hear and see Bill Clinton do his magic for the crowd. It brought back the good memories of when I was still an undergrad and was living a relatively carefree life.
When I was younger, I voted for Clinton when he first ran. I also helped make phone calls for the Monroe County Democratic Party back in the days before “bring your own phone” phone banks. I also wore an American Federation of Teachers for Bill Clinton pin along side of my UFCW Local 700 pin when I was working at the grocery store making $75 per week.
That was before I had kids, bought a house, and started paying serious taxes. Now my wife and I pay out way more in taxes than I ever grossed back when I was making union wages of $3.75/hour at the grocery store.
There’s the old saying about when you’re young, you have no heart if you aren’t a Democrat …
Those were some good times down in Bloomington. Do they still have dime beer night in B-town?
Seeing Clinton up close and personally brought back some of the good memories of the 1990s back when I was in carefree 20s. Of course, I’m doing better now than I did back then, so I can’t complain.
I have some video of Bill Clinton’s visit that I’ll get uploaded sometime tomorrow. I hope I didn’t forget to turn on the sound on the camera I was using.

Indiana Feels Like New Hampshire & Iowa

Obama ate breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe in South Bend this morning.
People were lined up in bad weather this morning awaiting Barack Obama’s arrival at Gary, Indiana’s Roosevelt High School.
Hillary Clinton plans a trip to Valparaiso. Will she grab a bite to eat with Valpo well-wishers at a local restaurant when she stops in Northwest Indiana?
Bill Clinton is wandering around southern Indiana.
Indiana is starting to feel like New Hampshire and Iowa with all of the retail politics going on in the Hoosier state as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama battle for every Democratic vote they each can get in Indiana’s primary.
The battle and all of the campaign activity is enough to make Republicans want to switch over and vote for one of the two candidates this spring — despite threats by Democratic officials to try to block these voters from casting a ballot.
Look for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to start knocking on doors if the Democratic primary polls continue to show a statistical tie in the days running up to the Indiana primary on May 6.
