CNN

Player! Player! You have defiled White House and you have lost your respect among black folks and the world by your speech and intentions. The evil that men do lives after them.

The Clinton News Network (CNN) mysteriously fails to report Bill's personal attacks on Obama. It's news when a visiting priest in at Trinity inappropriately makes fun of Hillary. It's not news when Bill viciously attacks Obama. Another big day of 'fair and balanced' reporting at CNN.

It totally blows me away that anyone would ever attempt to make an argument that Barack Obama had an advantage over Hillary Clinton because he's a black man.
Quite frankly, I'm getting annoyed at that notion.
Being black in the United States is a burden. Being black in the United States means that you have to overcome stereotypes, fear, anxiety and ignorance just to get a hello.

No one will discount the trials of being a female in this society. Again, there are burdens that women have to bear.
Fairly acknowledged.
But please. Please stop it already with the "if he wasn't black he wouldn't have the nomination" argument.
Every time I hear it or read it, it speaks loudly to the vast ignorance that people unfamiliar with the black experience have towards black people.
It's a sad commentary on the country we live in where such ignorage gets credence.

Heart surgery, heart attacks, and such can affect a person's personality. I've seen it happen. What I don't see is how chasing women and being hot tempered represents a change in Bill. Hasn't he always been this way? And how on earth is this news-worthy anyway?

The Country will go down if Obama becomes president!!!!!

Everyone learned exactly who Bill is while he was President. No one expects him to change his spots. Hillary gets what she needs from him and they will remain "The Clintons" as long as they continue to meet each other's needs. Barrack will most likely be our next President, so who cares what Bill does while on the campaign trail? Too bad more American citizens don't count high moral standards as part of their criteria for selecting a President. If the citizens cared and judged based on good character maybe both parties would have run a candidate with outstanding qualities but as it stands neither party is getting a person who can be counted on to stand up for what is right. America is getting exactly what they wanted – a President who will say anything to appease the voters but when elected will do nothing to stop the moral decline of a once great nation. God grant mercy on us.

What a shame, Bill should have been muzzled a long time ago on this campaign. How many times can she apologize for him without it saying something about her?

It took a long time for the American public, and the voting public to realize that the marriage of William Jefferson Clinton to Hilary Rodham, was nothing more than a relationship of convience. One that the whole of the world, has now seen,,,, will stop at nothing to realize their mutally planned goals.

His philandering is a now well established fact in political lore, and in National history, with his "impeachment" over sexual conduct with an intern, within the White House. The point is,,,,,, that no matter how you paint it, spin it,,,, or "misspeak" of it..... His conduct of record, will stand for all of history,,,,, Get over it Mr. "Ex" President,,,,, This reporter is just reiterating what he has "again" been told by his Constitutionally guarranteed rights to discuss with "sources" items of interest, that he does not have to divulge as to the quoter,,,, but can print as such....... First Amendment ring a bell,,,,,, Mr. President,,,, and all of your wifes,,,, political machine.......

Bill Clinton has had so many opportunities for good and he continually blows them. Maybe our country would have been safer and less susceptible to a moron like George W. Bush taking office if Bill Clinton hadn't been distracted by interns and fighting impeachment at the end of his second term.
I'd hate to see the trouble Bill could get into if he was back in the White House without a job to keep him busy some of the time!

I truely hope evey Hillary supporter doesn't just give in this easy. He stole the election from her because she is a woman. You must write her in when you vote for president!!!!!

First, read the article Bob Dole.

Second, why apologize? If the reporter is a scumbag, call him a scumbag and stand behind it. If it's true, shut up or change your ways.

The only thing sleazy is the way Bill Clinton acts. The only person that lie better than he is his wife.

Why apologize for telling the TRUTH!

TODD PURDOM is a SCUMBAG!

Why did Obama take his name off the MI ballot? Why did he join with Richardson and Edwards to encourage their supporters to vote uncommitted? TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR VOTES AGAINST HRC. I am appalled by the DNC's decision to give him all of the uncommitted delegates and some of HRC's. How can one claim to be for hope and change and while playing that dirty?

Well, it depends on what your definition of "is" is. I love how this has all turned around to be Obama's fault. I didn't know he controlled the press. All I hear is Obama praising Hillary and the Hillary supporters saying how negative Obama supporters are. I am a 64-yr-old, white, blue-collar female and I am supporting Obama all the way. I feel sorry for those women supporting Hillary just so she will be the first female president. I hope Obama picks someone honorable for VP.

Bill Clinton was right on ! He owes NO ONE an apology for anything.

After Bill lied on national television while President, under oath, about Monica Lewinsky, how can anyone believe anything that he says? It's ironic to hear Bill accuse anyone of being dishonest . . . and especially sleazy !

makes me wonder if some of the people that claim to be dems in this blog really want to unite... bunch of spoil adults. get over it! it was a very exciting election. Respect these candidates and think about your country. as far as Pres. Clinton, shame for trusting the so called citizen reporter, shame on her for setting him up the way she did and shame on the VF guy for not checking his sources properly.

now move on!

How many times does President Clinton have to atone for his past?

Obama has lots in his closet that will be thrown in his face in the coming months. Then who will be the scumbag?

I'd rather vote for a Clinton than another Carter.

Take it like a man, Bill. Some times you just have to own up.

More like one scumbag writing about another scumbag, and the problem is...........................................................?

Josh, the twenty year old. Vote Republican then. Your opinion on what this country needs or doesn't need is about as credible as well, the Clintons. What has Hilliary done, besides carpetbag to NY to get elected as a Sen. What experience of her's so qualifies her to become President, being Bill's wife and standing by him? Check the facts, Obama has more time in elected office than she does. The country can, and will survive sasns the Clinton's. And if you want to talk about experience, look at what the clown's in office have done, and you want to vote for McCain? The Democrats don't need your vote that badly or others of your ilk. See ya! And get used to the fact that Obama, yes Obama is the nominee this time around. And just think, he wasn't "inevitable."

"A leopard doesn't change its spots. 'Nuff said."

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

yep, i second that emotion

I'm not a fan of Bill or Hillary anymore, especially after this fiasco of a so called campaign they've ran. However, regarding this Vanity Fair article, this is basically some "he said, she said" stuff and unless the witness is willing to come forward, this article has no legs to stand on. You have to give Bill the benefit of the doubt.

It's over – stop the bickering, children.

WHOS THE MAN

Hu' WHOS THE MAN

OBAMA BABY

Let the Fat Lady sing tonight becasue Hillary it's over

To former President Clinton, cowboy up and be a man about it. The "politics of personal destruction" has run both ways and you have done your fair share of it over the years, especially through your surrogates. That doesn't make it right, but If it's untrue, ignore it. Better yet, if it's patently false then there are legal avenues open for you to quietly pursue. The more loud protests, the more attention. Do you really think one article will change anyone's mind about you, pro or con? The current president has an entire hatchet job book from his disloyal formal press secretary to deal with. No doubt, a NYT "bestseller." He's ignoring it. I suppose it all comes with the territory.

Bill needs to go home and rest. I am sure there are parts of the story that are indeed true. He was no help to his wife and probably did lots of damage. I am glad to see the last of him.

No offense but I would tell Dee Dee Myers to check her husband........and by the way, I know who she is and I know what she has said in the past............it sucks to be you Dee Dee! LOL!!!!

The media is biased toward Obama? He has been crucified in the media – Rev Wright, Bitter comments, Michelle's comments, Trinity Church, Rev Pfleger, flag pin, and on and on and on. How in the world is that favorable to him? Get real.

Doc Sinn,

DID YOU SAY A SITH LORD!!!! HAHAHAAHAAHAH

IMPORTANT!!! IMPORTANT!!!

THIS GOES TO DEMOCRATS WHO ARE CLAIMING THEIR SUPPORT FOR MC CAIN IF OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE. THINK TWICE BECAUSE IF THAT HAPPEN BE SURE THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE MY PEOPLE WILL SWITCH FOR REPUBLICAN FOR THE REST OF OUR LIFE. THINK DEEP MY FRIENDS. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CONSEQUENCES

What do you expect him to say? Yes the article is right. Cmon people, get real.

Joyce in Florida

You are clueless and dont even know what the BUILDERBERG GROUP is and you have no idea on what the CFR or the TTC is.

That makes you a clueless voter and a sheepeople.

Just the kind of uninformed voter Clinton is counting on to make millons.

People like you voted for Bush, yes I know you voted for the crook and people like you will not be allowed to do that agin to our country.

Payback time

"Hillary speaks 4 me",

Guess what? I know Hillary, and from what I know of her she would have NO PARTS of what you just said! Now if she DOES speak for you we can now understand why she's loosing!! If you wanna get mad at anyone..get mad at her campaign managers! if you wanna get mad about Fl and Mi get mad at the legislature of those states! Other than that...your no difference than what you claim Obama is! A whole bunch of rhetoric with no solutions! Grow up!

This is a post about Vanity Fair magazine. Why are people posting comments about Obama or Clinton's right to continue running? They have nothing to do with this post! Do people even bother reading before they write their comments? Unbelievable!

The report and everything may have been wrong, but I have a serious problem with Bill trying to link this to Obama. He had nothing to do with it!

You stupid people. Bill Clinton had every right to call him the scumbag that he is. How would you like it for someone to print lies on you. ? Don't defend the wicked, money hungry reporter. This was an Obama supporter and just as the DNC has corrupted our party the media has attempted to destroy the Clintons. This is why I am with millions of women who will never vote for Obama.

To Hilary Speak for me – You don't mention any of your candidates problems in your list but here are a few for you to mull over:

Why has the media left out of the controversy about Hillary's pastor being indicted for child molestation?

Why has be media left out of the controversy about Hillary and Bill being sued for campaign fraud.

Sniper fire!

Claim to want all votes to count but do not count the caucus states when saying she has the popular vote.

These are just the ones I know about, I am sure there are others that others know more about than me.

No Body is a saint out here.....dont think Obama is a siant but people have to choose out of the these guys who would be best for them. Most of the time the choose one who is the best out of the worst. And Bill has been the best out of the worst. So people need to give him a break..come on he's dont better for your country more then any of the scumbag's around....

Know what's funny? Most of the leftists in this little forum would be scrabbling to defend this man, as they did for the better part of 15 years, were it not for a certain upcoming Democrat Presidential nominee.

Frailty, thy name is Democrat.

A lot of you are asking other Democracts to unite. How can you be so stupid for asking such a thing after what the DNC did. The denocracts in Michigan and Florida were disinfranchised by the DNC.

And now papers and magazines are bad mouthing Hillary because she had the guts to stick it out till the end.

It just proves that Hillary is not a quiter and would be the best choice for President for ALL AMERICANS.

Dishonest? what does Bill Clinton know about honesty? "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Honesty? ha! PLEASE!!!! Bill, you cannot call others dishonest! you have to first know what it is to be honest, to be able to clall someone else "slimy" and "dishonest".
PLEASE!!!!

Great man betrayed by his own EGO!! Given the opportunity to give the nation universal health care, given the opportunity to use the greatest economic boom in modern history to improve the nation. Given the opportunity to defeat the influences of the "unChristian Right". Bill gave into his urges and his own megalomania.

The Clinton's had a wonderful opportunity to help the nation move forward and they decided their personal satisfactiona and image were more important than the nation.

WHAT A WASTE OF TALENT!!!

HIllary should be offered the VP or Sec. of State

Good for Bill! What a bunch of lies....anonymous sources...give me a break! its just another word for baseless lies!

Luis June 3rd, 2008 9:12 am ET

"Hey Bill and Hillary,"

Get ready for the michelle Obama video……

I love this……………..what a circus to teh world the Dimocrats have proven themselves to be

Vote McCain or join the insane….

Sorry to break it to you Luis, but the tape is a hoax. You'll see for youself real soon or the talks about it will disappear altogether like all the other attempted dishonest smears. You can keep on peddaling those false hopes though. LOL!

Go Obama

Hey Josh,

You are a 20 year old who is a VERY STRONG DEMOCRAT? How is that what have you done in your 20 years?

Voted twice? Come on you are not who you say you are. You are more likley a old white woman who mad that they lost this race.

Or you are a who a Republican who would be voting that way in any case.

No if when Obama wins the nomination, He will be are best and safest bet.

What America CANNOT AFFORD IS ANOTHER REPUBLICAN!!! THEY have run this country in to the Ground!

what EXPERIENCED did Abe have what did JFK have? Come on that' s lame.

Yes I Can name ONE thing Obama has done for the state of Illinois or the United States Won the Democratic race and then the white house in Nov! Better get with the new America.

THERE WILL BE NO HILLARY/MCCAIN '08 IT'S ALL ABOUT OBAMA 08 AND BEYOND!!

Figures Bill you will end the Primary season with a outburst over a article in Vanity Fair that you had not even read .

Well it looks like you have ended the Hillary campaign as it started with the Kitchen Sink cracking .

Your anger and outbursts did not help Hillary and certainly was not the way Hillary wanted to end the campaign after today.

Yes we will remember you Bill for all that you did to split the
Democratic Party.

Now the Kitchen Sink is falling apart within your final hours .

Hillary wanted to end on a high note but it looks like what goes around comes around and you and Hillary can now face your Karama.

Your not being given the Whitehouse as you had planned on having instead you will both be sent to a Rest Home for a vacation to reflect on your life and was the Kitchen Sink really worth it since now it is cracking before your eyes on the both of you.

disgustedinAlameda – Your kidding me, you claim Obama is not as good or would not be as good leading this country as George Bush????

Seriously??? Our president has the worst ever approval rating....

I think my Dog could lead this country better than he has...

Lord Knows Obama will lead this country to bigger and better and a brighter future!

Obama 08'

All of this is a pile of media biased nonsense. These folk are so afraid that Hillary can still pull off becoming the nominee that they are coming back with their same old tactics. I believe it is because if she becomes president they will have less bad news to report. That is why the media love Bush and Obama. It's clear that there are a lot of people afraid of the Clintons. It is a shame that most people hearing/reading this crap fail to see through all of the bull.

Who needs Clinton campaign apology at this point? Anyone? I don't think so. Obama has scaled every single political brick wall put in place by every distractor.

First, it was about patriotism and flag pin. But nobody ever wondered why Hillary and McCain didn't wear one regularly. Second, it was about him being a muslim. But thank God for Jeremiah Wright and his dirty mouth; at least we know Obama attended church for 20 years with his family.

Which church does Bill and Hillary attend or have attended for 20-years? Any answer? Of course not. Bill has been busy tending to his restless memories of Monica by hanging out with his adulterous millionaire kinds. Does McCain even attend church? How come nobody ever bothered to ask these questions?

Bill, there is time for everything under the sun. Your time is spent with the American people. Stop blaming the press for your wife's inability to carry the nomination, because you're definitely going to be needing them in the future. But for now, start thinking about borrowing your wife some money to pay off her campaign bils.

FYI, just forget the VP slot. It's never going to happen.

I'm a journalist. And Clinton's former aides probably did tell the reporter all that. And seriously, who really cares if Clinton called the guy a scumbag? People have been called worse. But I personally believe that anonymous sources are becoming far too common these days, and dealing with the political arena is the worst. No one ever wants to go on the record by name. It's always staffer or aid or source familiar with the topic if you get to attribute at all. And I don't even deal with particularly sensitive topics! I often wish every media outlet would just say, look, if you want any coverage at all, you're going to have to go on the record, period. And if they don't, ignore them. But it's never going to happen.

So, basically, Bill Clinton just verified what the reporter said in his story. He is off his rocker.

Irony of the day....
Bill Clinton calling someone else a liar.

Ha

i just got finished reading the VF article. I didn't read anything new in there that I didn't already know. Bill makes deals behind closed doors- yes, we know that. Bill likes the ladies- yes, we know that. Bills behaviour these past few months on the campaign trail has been strange to say the least – yes we know that. Lashing out at reporters, lashing out at Obama. The man seems angry, I guess he sees his glory slipping away. How sad. Bill time to go on vacation, and take Hillary with you, please.

What Bill does in private is his business and his alone (except for those who directly share his privacy). The reporter is an absolute scumbag for pandering to the National Enquirer market with his tired stories. Let's all boycott Vanity Fair and put the reporter/editor out on the street.

Jeff D, South Bend, IN June 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

Stop whining you baby. You've turned into a joke of a former President.

Even worse the the current occupant in the Oval Office?

always hurt, doesn't it Bill??

Bill Clinton nor anyone else in the Clinton camp should apologize for defending themselves from irresponsible morons the likes of Purdam. Bill called it like it is, "read my lips scumbag". I like what Dan Carter above had to say about this. No apology's needed, say and mean it.

I think the article was not reflective of tyhe whole man – the good and the bad. If you are going to write about someone – you should give all sides of the story.

When reporters write articles of that nature, they are exactly as stated by Clinton. No one has shame or respect anymore including the majority of bloggers. My favorite News media has consistently berated anything Bill or HC on any issue.

OMG! The article was complete and utter claptrap and horrible journalism and should never have made it past the editor's desk. That being said, this is coming way too late to make any difference in the presidential primary season, and to claim otherwise is just wrong.

The one consistency in this entire process, starting back when Bill was in office, is that the Clinton's just refuse to accept responsibility for any of their own actions! He's doing it again by saying that it was the media in Obama's pocket that shot down Hillary. A Harvard study completely debunks that myth, but no one talks about that because it isn't "news."

The Clintons, notwithstanding the good they did for America in the '90s, are completely out of touch with America of the new millennium and just don't know how to accept responsibility for their own failures. Everyone fails at one time in their life, and most people LEARN from those failures. Not so with the Clintons, apparently. I hope that Chelsea is able to break the mold and let life be a teacher.

Why does CNN never print my comments? I am a Hillary supporter and all you print is stuff for Obama....

One reason I know the "mainstream media" isn't on Obama's side like Clinton claims?

They completely failed to include the HORRIBLE insinuations Pres. Clinton made about Obama in this quote...such as...

"They had all these people standing up in this church cheering, calling Hillary a white racist, and he 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 press coverage in modern history– and the guy ought to be ashamed of himself. "

Thats someone INSANE talking...and CNN just chose to not cover it at all.

So, whose side is the "Media" on?

Why did Bill Clinton blame some of this controversy on Obama, what does Obama have to do with any of this? I believe frustration has begun to set with the Clintons, and they are taking their anger out on anybody. Also, it is just another attempt to take the focus of the conversation away from Bill Clinton. Its seems that the former President is back to his 90’s form and is up to some of his old tricks (Big Surprise). This man must really like flirting with females, hey looking at Hillary, I can’t blame him!

Hillary Speaks 4 Me:

Harriet...is that you?

I saw an interview with the journalist yesterday. He struck me as evasive and I have real questions about why there were no direct quotes. That is questionable journalism at its worst. He is using innuendo for his own personal agenda. I agree that he is a scumbag.

Bill Clinton has been known to be a lier; remember when he was trying to re-define sexual relation on National TV?
I totally agreed with that briliant writter; he's known to be a credible and responsible journalist...Clinton only has to redefine his 'spirituality'.

I completely agree Bill Clinton on this.
The Author is a SCAM Bag.

Myself was just out of College when Bill
got in the White House. I had seen all
the good works had done for our nation.
Most of the article are lies.

Leftist in Democrat come out this to make sure
Obama get the nominated. I have just watched Larry
King show in which a strong Obama supporter, who
show up in the media all the time, even agree with
the Article. It make me so upset and will make sure all
my friends and my resource will go support MCcain to be
our president in November. Defeat Obama in November!

Hey Jimmy Vellman – Clinton was surrounded by even more Secret Service while in the White House – and every visitor had to be escorted to his office. He still was able to have sexual relations then - and in our public office no less. Don't think for a minute it can't happen now!

Did Clinton's (Bill's) campaign ever apologize after James Carville made the ignorant comment about dragging a one hundred dollar bill through a trailer park and see what you come up with when talking about Paula Jones, one of Bill's girlfriends. Nope, no apology was issued. Why issue one now? Plus, was this REALLY an apology or just a weak admission that he did use those words? I say the latter!

How the mighty have fallen. He is a has been who had the loyal support of millions of black voters and he threw them under the bus. Now look at him, a sorry shadow of himself.

I never say never, but I'm close to saying that about the political career of the Clinton Clan.

According to Bill...this is a conspiricy by the Obama camp to make him and Hillary look bad.

Mr. Ex-President, you don't need any help in making you or your wife look bad. You two do a terrific job all by yourselves.

blah blah blah booba booba
go away

Oh, so now its Obama's fault that the media has damaged Hillary's chances of becoming the president or why Hillary lost more states, why she's behind in the delegate count, why she's behind in the most realistic popular vote poll, made Michigan and Florida break the rules, injected racism and sexism into the democratic primary.....PLEASE.....LOL

All the Clinton's are pathetic except for Chelsea..

History will show that the press "did a number" on both Clintons and they are girding their loins to do it on the Obamas. You can bet on that!

it's really a shame that DeeDee Myers husband would do this. Although, last night was the first time I saw him on TV...guess theres money to be made in the smut business...'course Hefner could vouch for that.

Hillary you are a winner and so is Bill!! 2012/2016 for Hillary!!

Did Bill Clinton just call someone a liar?

so is he the pot or the kettle.....that is just plain funny

It takes one to know one

All of the Obama supporters are very dump when it comes to politics

I truly hope all 17 million of Hillary will vote for McCain,if Hillary is not the nominee.

Vote Hillary or McCain only folk! No Hussein Obama period.

The Clintons always throw their losses and failures on others' shoulders. Always accusing and ungrateful. What a pity. Go Obama 08

The previous comment i must say is very sad! Shows how narrow minded some individuals are...The issue is about Bill Clinton and you are trying to make negative comments about Obama...America LISTEN NOW AND LISTEN WELL. If you want 4 more yrs of George Bush's Policy..vote for MCCAIN....If you want CHANGE Vote for OBAMA...Americans are smart ..we know better

Josh – You have been a VERY STRONG DEMOCRAT for 2 years???...LOL...Josh your not a VERY STRONG democrat...if you are already willing to vote for McCain and the republicans...

your a misguided youth, who has not fully checked his facts...

More power to you I guess..

Democrats 08'
Obama/Sebulius 08'

What's so bad about calling someone a scumbag? I have used much more harsh language in my life.

SCUM BAG

SCUM BAG

SCUM BAG

LOVE YOU, BILL.... YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE CAJONES TO SAY IT LIKE IT IS AND TAKE ON THE MEDIA.

The media has stolen this election from the better candidate because it's more of a story to nominate a black man than a white woman in a mans world. This campaign has been about everything that this campaign shouldn't have been about, and because of it I will be voting republican come November as I'm sure 30-40% of democrats will. Besides, listening to Obama he sounds more and more socialist and everything that this country is not about and not what has and will continue to make this country great. McCain is looking better everyday.

Hillary Speaks 4 me,

So, her window to bow out cgracefully is closing....Liar, Liar Snipe Fire.

The only campaign that has embarrased themselves and their familoes is the Clinton Campaign.

Do we really want 4 more years (or worse of this mess?

Burn your polyester pansuits, the fat lady is warming up for an appearance this week.

Vote for McCain

The reporter is a scumbag, and I stopped having any trust in vanity fair when they engaged in child pornography by letting mily cirus pose almost nude for them. POST that CNN

scumbag

If Hillary is not the nominee,all 17 million of Hillary supporter have to do is vote for McCain so we can keep Hussein Obama and his crazy friend out of the white house.

Go Hillary!

Well isn't that great... a former president did not read the article, but took it on the advice of a few that there were lies... Oh please make them go away... and when Billy boy said if you elect Hillary you get 2 for 1... that's one issue I hope we will never have to face..

And like Bill and Hillary have never lied ... let's see Whitewater, the Hillary found some notes that she thought were missing, but they were right under her nose...

I wish the media would take every statement of every politican and print it so everyone could see what they said and it would not be out of context.

Let's get on with it.

Bill Clinton is one of the biggest racists this county has ever seen and it's about time someone starts to expose this. We can risk having this racist get anywhere near the White House.

Citing "unnamed sources" is the same as "making it up as you go along". It is my observation that many journalists "invent" the "news" inorder to sell copy. Freedom of speech is not freedom to deliberately decieve. President Bill Clinton, at least in this case, is right.

He admitted he didn't even read the article! He could have said: no comment, I'haven't read it yet. But NO-O-O! he fires away with salty language!

And while everyone gets their knickers twisted over something like this, gas continues to rise each and every day! That's why voters want real change and are tired of this stuff !

No third term for Bush with McSame; No third term for The Clintons and their psychodramas!

I think that the writer Mayhill Fowler is the sleazy slimy scumbag by not letting Bill Clinton know that she was being recorded by her. This is the same reporter that recorded Obama in regards to the bitter comment. It's sounds like someone that's looking for recognition but getting a reputation of a tasteless reporter that can't be trusted.

Obama and McCain need to be aware of this so called writer/reporter which I doubt she is because Bill Clinton had every right to beaware that he was recorded. Even though I'm an Obama supporter, I thought it was desperate and very trashy on Fowlers part. She has no credibiilty. Readers beware.

Go Bill!! Take down the media!!! The media has ruined democracy!!! We should only watch unbias news media!! CNN is not one of the unbias news media!!! Obama supporters are crazy as you see them lash out at everyone else!!

I'm an Obama supporter but that reporter was way out of bounds. Does he have even one source to confirm his allegations. 'scumbag' is correct. Good for Bill.

Your are absolutely right Bill Clinton and we all support your outraged.

Another loser trying to steal some of the highlights, or do you think he was paid handsomely to create such libelous print?

This is not even a he says, she says kind of debate, it is an aide told another aide who told another aide, and so on and so on an thus another fair tale.

I hope all of the Clinton supporters BOYCOTT VANITY FAIR.

Ah yes, Bill Clinton would be knowing all about scumbags!

While in office, Bill Clinton lied repeatedly about his affair with Monica L. . When he left office, he admitted the affair and said, "You can't touch me now I am no longer president." With this in mind, how do you expect the American public to believe you now?

Bill is a great man...he has his faults but he has served America well..let us not forget that...

He is old, tired and been dragged into a too long a campaign !!

HMMMM!!!! Sounds like that "bitter" comment coming out??? Sometimes you have to accept things in life you don't like. I believe there were ALOT of comments made on both sides. Some worse than others. I look back over the years and see what happened. I am a white 64 year old female. I am voting for Obama. I may not like what happened in his church but I also looked at the other side and didn't like what happened there. So I guess you have to weigh what you think is best. You can't bully and make people vote for anyone. You make your own choice not because you demand you vote for someone else

Takes one to know one!

If these observations about Bill are true would it really surprise you. The reason it's believable is because it's been his pattern for years.

No 'Don't tase me Bro' anymore because American people have spoken and they need their country back!
Clintons had changed to be republicans in some way. Remember they didn't have to work hard to get elected in the beggining of the campaign. Obama made them to come down and work with ordinary people. They had this wrapped up, up there in the air and had only show up in Iowa and get elected. Thank you Obama for turning things around for us ordinary americans. Now anybody can be a President Of united states of America, just like our fore fathers once left this great country to be!

Purdum's problem is that President Clinton dared to replace Mrs Purdum - a.k.a. Dee Dee Myers - after the first two years, because she couldn't cut it as press secretary. (Nor for that matter, could that other crybaby, George Stephanopoulos!)

Clinton was right the first time, and should not apologise! Purdum is another pathetic example of someone who, having left the New York Times - one of Ken Starr's favourite newspapers - has to get himself back in Washington's good graces. What better way than to dredge up some unsubstantiated gossip about Bill Clinton? Like Carl Bernstein, he has managed to make a comeback via tabloid trash. Rather like a child who gets attention by belching at a formal dinner!

Purdum's "anonymous" sources must include Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Chris Matthews!

Why does anyone really care about Bill Clinton ?? But I see by some of these postings here many people still have fetishes and obsessions with Bill Clinton. Get over it losers!! Purdum is a smarmy scumbag and a miserable creature.

I do find the timing of this article very suspicious–and Obama is known for sneaky attacks on the Clintons through his surrogates.

This guy is a scumbag! Has anyone read any of the other garbage he's written? I for one am tired of people having to take back or say they're sorry for what they say. Suck it up and deal with it! If your feelings are hurt go kiss yourself in the mirror!

I just heard that there is a video about to surface of Barak Hussein Obama's wife (Michelle Obama) on a racist rant at trinity.

When will you all let us see that video…..CNN

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Norma's post make's my point, it's sad what Bill is doing to his party, I'm so disgusted.

Of course President Clinton has to be angry, specially with all this him and his wife are going trough, but this is politics and he has to see it as it is. However I just wish the Clintons give it up and don't back Mr Obama to see where is he going.
The Clintons has a lot of reasons not to back him up because the Obama campaing has been trashing them since long ago.

The facade is gone. What we as conservatives have seen for years re Bill and Hillary is there for all to see now. He hasn't changed he is just more transparent.

What I don't understan is how anyone could have voted for him once let alone twice.

His Presidency lowered the bar low enough that GW was elected, twice, and that has resulted in a lowering of the bar to the point where a phony, inexperienced man can be elected to this most important office.

The Clinton mantra lives in Obama "Once you can fake sincerity, you have it made."

Yet ANOTHER reason why the Clintons need to retire from public office. The don't know how or CARE how the act in public.
Just imagine how he will behave IF he gets any POWER!!

This a the reason why Hillary, if elected wouldn't win the Presidency. The republicans would all come our in forces to bury the Clintons.

If you believe that Monica Lewinsky was the only woman that Bill messed around with then you have a very forgiving and naive nature about you.

Where there's smoke there's fire!

PLEASE NO MORE IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM TELLING US WHAT TO BELIEVE!!!!!! NO MORE OPINION PACKAGED AS FACT!!!!!!!! THIS MEDIA CIRCUS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH!! DON'T BUY THE CRAP THEY TRY TO FEED YOU. HILLARY 2008

To Hillary speaks for me
ODE to Hillary
Why was she involved in Whitewater
Why was she involved in Travelgate
Why did she stay with her cheating husband
Why did she lie about sniper fire in Bosnia
Whty did she say Florida and Michigan would nort count at the start of the primaries
Why was she involved with Peter Paul
Why won't she release her earmark spending for 2007
Why are all of these superdelegates that know the Clintons so well
not supporting her
Why won't they release the contributors to Bills library
Why, whenher campaign over 20 milllion in debt, does she pretend to know anything about the economy
Why did the Clintons play the race card
Why did the Clintons play the gender card

I think while Bill's comments were a bit over the top the media is missing a larger story. This same supposed journalist is the one that went into a "closed to the media" private fundraiser event in someone's home and recorded Obama's answer to the question, if disallusioned voters aren't voting on the economy issue, what issues are important to them. Of course, everyone knows his ill chosen words but the media never covered the questions preceding that which put it into context. Of course, this media bias AGAINST Clinton explains that, right? The media THIS TIME keeps commenting that Clinton was sandbagged by this supposed writer for the Huffington Post. I think the media needs to police it's own and this woman is a disgrace to Huffington Post and it is wrong to consider her a journalist of any measure!

CNN is bias they will not let my posting against the Clinton stand however they will let the bias comment against Obama stand why is that?

Bitter Clintons. Good grief. They no longer "dominate" the Democratic Party and they can't stand it ............................. sit down already! **Former Bill Clinton Supporter**

Look for Hillary vs Bill in divorce court soon. Since he did not deliver the White House for her, that marriage will be over soon.

Leave Bill alone. He has provided so much hope and advancement for this country, and the planet, that we cannot begin to repay him.

Vanity Fair: Unnamed sources? Single-sided "journalism?" Mr. Purdum, my family is glad to have cancelled our subscription to VF last year; you clearly have not found your way toward improving your publication's focus or theme or candor, or relevance. Goodbye, again.

Well, Billy is certainly a certified expert on 'scumbags"....

Bill and Hillary, no need to apologize for being honest. Sometimes the truth hurts! At least you were not swearing, like some of us would have. This just shows that you are human. HATS OFF TO BOTH OF YOU!!!! Your a wonderful team, good luck in your future!!!

You are a piece of History Bill and Hillary. No more pain and media fix for you in this campaign.

well i think bill need to take long long vacation now...he is auto distracting himself.

What? Bill Clinton calling someone a liar. How is that news? how can that even be printed? Why do some people hold him, and his wife for that matter, in such high regard. I can only hope he was talking about himself when he said "He's just a dishonest guy — can't help it."

To Hillary speaks 4 me.

You are buying the Rove and Hannity spin on things. By all accounts 95% of what Trinity United Church does is good for the community. There are issues that needed to be dealt with and I give Obama credit for being loyal and for attempting to stick by his church through the most difficult of times.

The bitter comment has been addressed on countless occasions. Obama acknowledges he should have used the word frustrated instead of bitter. How many mistakes would you make working every day 18 hrs. a day with 3 hrs or less sleep a night?

Your attitude leave a lot to be desired.

So Bill wasn't PC, who cares? I don't mind him telling it how it is. Power to him for standing up for himself.

President Clinton "maybe" should not call the reporter a scum bag..... but I will. Vanity Fair has become the National Enquirer and Purdum is a bottom feeder and a disgrace to the publishing industry. I have no issues with Mr Clinton lashing out .....the writer is slimy.

And on a related atory, nice going Obama in not lashing out strongly against Phelger – another hater from your chuch friends.

awwww skeet skeet

OH let's get over it. Really. They want to sell magazines.........that's the bottom line. If they were so "concerned" over his behavior and health since the surgery maybe they should rethink printing something that could certainly do more harm to his health. They really must not be able to dig much else up if this old news is all they have. He has a right to defend himself in anyway he wants. At least we know he loves and is proud of America. BTW..........the aides would be fired.

Again, why does President Clinton (Bill) need to apologize? He's only telling the truth about a sleazy, slimy scuzball trying to create an atmosphere of distrust for the Hillary Clinton campaign. When Barack Obama gets the nomination it will be thanks to the hijacking of the democratic process with the help of the media.

We can look forward to the same tactics this fall when we are trying to elect our next president. America has real enemies and they are with us every day telling us what to think and how to think. It's called the liberal media. Only a subversive charlatan would take advantage of this kind of press and encourage it. Only the naive and the inexperienced will fall for it.

Don't even think about voting for Barack Obama in November, you have been brainwashed by his campaign and the media. Don't believe what you hear in the media. Stay away from the polls if you even are tempted to vote for him.

Save yourself and your vote for anyone but Barack Obama.

Vote John McCain in November 2008

I hope the superdelegates do the right thing and listen to the voice and will of the people!

We want the viable candidate who can beat McCain in the fall and keep 17 million moderate and conservative voters in the Party.

If they ignore the will of the people and select Obama, the party will loose in November and they won't have a base of moderates and conservatives left to rebuild with.

The Democratic Party will be over after today, depending on what they decide.

This is not a "threat" it is a fact. We will not be brushed off a shoulder and told to site in the corner and be quite and vote for a Left wing nut job in training pants.

We love our country too much to let that happen!

Don't try to defend your honor Billy-boy. You don't have any.

It is kind of sad to see Bill Clinton nowadays. He used to be someone I admired.

Lately, he seems really bitter and angry all the time. Yelling at anyone who says anything negative about him.

Its really sad to see.

Why are the news outlets not taking these bottom-feeders to task on these tell-alls? Thy are taking their right of free speech to the wire and getting away with it–(McClellan,vanity fair). It gives mainstream media a bad name to not call them on these low-life articles.

Personally, I respect Bill Clinton's opinion that the writer is "slimey" and a "scumbag". After all, shouldn't someone who, himself, is "slimey" and a "scumbag" know one when he sees it? Bill is an expert, with personal experience, into "slimeyness" and "scumbagification", isn't he? Witness Monica!

he did it. he knows it too. bill is a playa playa LOL

I don't think President Clinton owes anyone an apology for responding to someone whose only intention is to slander.

Attention Bill Clinton:

Maybe the article was written because they had a good target who also happened to be a scumbag.

Come on, give me a break ! ! !

Bill is just frustrated. I do agree that Purdum didn't mention any names and the quotes could have been faked. But give Clinton a break, he's just frustrated 'cause it's so much harder to campaign for someone else instead of your own.

He shouldn't have attacked Obama though by saying that he has other people slimy Hillary. That's just not true. That may have cost Hillary that VP spot.

A fitting end to the Clinton Political era.

Even though Mrs. Clinton is not my choice for president, I think this was a lousy time to publish such an unflattering article about her husband. It is all supposition and unfounded rumour, crafted to titillate.

Should have read:

Another person jealous of the Clintons........including Purdum Idiot wife. Wasn't she kicked out of the Clinton white house…I have seen her on Cnn bad mouthing Hillary…She must want a job real bad on CNN!!!

I opened the dictionary to see what "scumbag" really means and guess whose photo was next to the word?

I think President Clinton was being very kind in only calling him a scumbag. And... since when are "sleezy" and "scumbag" dirty words that we need to appoligize for using?
If Todd Purdum wants his 15 mins. of fame... he got it.
He better enjoy it, because this will be the end of his career as a serious journalist. He can go join all the hacks at tabloid publications.

Hillary is a strong woman for a reason. Even though I am not a supporter, I feel for her. She has endured years of mental abuse but loves her husband and stays with him. And no wonder he worked so hard to get her elected....he owes her bigtime for putting up with his adulterous ways. Good luck Mrs. Clinton in whatever you choose to do next.

As for the election, congrats Obama!

Let's see how the responses are after someone writes an article cited from various anonymous sources about Obama secretly meeting 'Black Panther' leaders.

Obama camp goes really low to attack other people while Obama himself claims to play 'higher moral' politics.

So, who really is the "scumbag?" I wonder.

Go Bill!!

Another people jealous of Clinton...including Purdum Idiot wife. Wasn't she kicked out of the Clinton white house...I have seen her on Cnn bad mouthing Hillary...She must want a job real bad on CNN!!!

Why should anyone apologize?

I'm so sick of the politically correct way the elitist media and liberals act. This is America, where we can say whatever we want.

What's that thing called again? .... oh, jeez.... oh thats right!

THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

I'm not a dem or a republican, but all you PC people can shut up, scum bags.

that reporter was a scumbag like most print media.

The Clinton camp doesn't even trust Bill enough to let him appologize himself. I think that Bill has done more damage to Hillary's campaign then anything else. It is like he is trying to sandbag her so she doesn't win. Maybe he is scared that she would have been a better president then he was.

President Clinton is 100% right about this reporter.
This reporter [?] according to the last senrence of this article wrote a positive story about Senator McCain, now rights a negative article about President Clinton.
This reporter [?] [ based on this story I would call him a gossip columnist at best ] insinuates that President Clinton was seeing women and yet this reporter [?] says "there was no clear cut evidence that President Clinton has done anything inproper." Scumbag maybe to nice a discription.

How is this couple qualified to be a democratic party icons when they didn't understand the rule of the party that it's the delegate math that elect a democrat nominee. How so?

LOOK WHO'S CALLING SOMEONE A SCUMBAG!-THE BIG SCUMBAG OF ALL!!!

We all recognize how relentless and intelligent the Clinton's are BUT how did over 17,000,000 Americans get bambozzled into supporting this family in the DNC election process? It boggles my mind.

Bill and Hillary have a long history of controversy, alleged corruption, Bill's adultery and lying to the American people on national tv on more than one occasion.

Now Bill has the nerve to go on the offense and fire back.

LOL Thanks for the laugh CNN. A Clinton calling someone dishonest. LOL

Hmm, Crazy Uncle Bill's talking about 'things (supposedly) being done to help Obama'?

I think he should include in his list, his own response to this article in which he personally brought Whitewater back to the surface – which is something that Obama has been respectful enough to not use at any point in this primary campaign. I doubt HRC would receive the same gratice from the Republicans were she to be the democratic nominee.

Other things that have been done to "Help" Obama from this "biased" media....Wright, Pfleger, 'Bitter' comments, SNL campaigning for HRC, Florida & Michigan being pinned on him as if he caused this entire problem....Yep, BOY has it been oine sided in his favor!

No, Billy, you're the scumbag.

SCUMBAG is the perfect word to describe both Clintons in their egomaniacal quest for power. And we don't need a SCUMBAG vice president.... Clintons are not to be trusted.

"five or six blatant lies" = so which statements are the lies Bill? I notice that you conveniently leave out which are the lies. Is that because you are a womanizing deviant who is more suited to have a role in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit than in the next administration? No matter what happens in the democratic nomination, I hope Hillary boots you to the curb!

He's just a dishonest guy-cant help it. This is from a guy who lied to a grand jury and probably has not spoke the truth in 30 years.

And here comes Bill Clinton, with a hastily conceived plan... to support party unity? If so, it was a bit too hastily conceived.

Please lets not jump to any of this “Dream Ticket” stuff. We always seem to need to move on to the next question.

Let's just enjoy the Win and we can look at who might be a good V.P in a few days.

I would hope that no one ask them this question for a while.

Obama 08 & Beyond!

Yes Bill, go out swinging... Like you said, this might be the last time!
Democrats 2008

Dee Dee Myers former White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton,currently a commentator for MSNBC and an editor a for Vanity Fair. Her husband wrote the scathing article about President Clinton but he has never read the article to call parts of it a lie.
Is it true people change after heart surgeries?

i think it is clear who the "scumbag " really is. Stop talking bill.

The pot calling the kettle black.
From one scumbag to another as they say and of course we will never forget "I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky".
Bill is attempting to misdirect us again by pointing his finger at the Right Wing conspiracy theory when he is truly his own worst enemy. If the American people fail to see this and elect Hillary Clinton for President or even add her as a Vice President, then we deserve everything we get.

Journalism 101:
No cited sources = No credibility
You can make up anything you want and say 'anonymous'!

Bill Clinton is correct. This guy is a "scumbag". He is the one that wrote this gargage. He is the one that should apologize and retract his remarks - not the Clintons!

The blogs on other topics are people pretending to be former supporters of Hillary, now for Obama are jokes. The Roe v Wade issue is a scare tatic. The Surpreme Court nominee must be approved by the Senate. They are not just appointed by the President. The only power the President has is to put their names in the basket. This whole election has been a joke. When will women get the respect they deserve? The Black men got the vote before women, so why would now be any different? American men are the biggest wimps, so affraid of a strong woman. Yet, any strong man has a strong woman by his side? Go figure??

Who cares about what Bill is doing or not doing?

Bill Clinton is right about the media's promoting their golden boy Barrack Obama, by smearing HIllary Clinton every chance they get, while excusing, spinning, suppressing or whitewashing every Obama negative.

Clinton's only mistake is that with Purdum he is too specific. As a matter of fact, ALL journalists are scumbags; as a breed, they are arrogant, manipulative, petty, narcissistic and vindictive and never let facts get in the way of a good story, their careers or their egos. They are vulgar little people, with far, far too much power. They destroy society, simply because they can.

Why NOW? Why not – let's say – in 2005 or 2006? Because NOW this so-called "journalist" hopes it will sell more magazines. NOW, at the eve of the primaries. NOW, when Senator Clinton has ramped up more popular votes than Obama. I smell the mole Axelrod (Obama's "brain") just around the corner - again. Just like with McClellan - remember? - at the end of the day, McClellan stated that he prefers Obama over Clinton.

It is accepted by many in the mental health field that one can learn much about the character of a person by listening to the specific attacks he/she makes on others. If this is true, Bill Clinton has recently revealed much about who he is. Coupled with his apparent inability to take any responsibility for his actions, and his constant blame of others suggests, in my opinion, a troubled soul. What he (and Senator Clinton, for that matter) refuse to see is that Americans have tired of this approach to leadership. Senator Clinton's loss to Obama was not the result of a biased or sexist media, but rather the cumulative effect of the Clinton's behavior. And whether the two of them want to admit it or not, it was Obama, not Senator Clinton, who electrified the American people and invited them into the political process - a welcome change from the entitled, power driven approach.

Bill can certainly dish it out, but he can't take it...a sure sign of a weak insecure man. Everyone has known all along that Bill has a sleazy side, a marriage of convenience, and more skeletons in his closet than he would care to admit. Of course, he also refers to himself as a man of faith, typical that his actions and his words would be in sharp contrast to his beliefs. Bill is a victim of his own ego.
Did I mention that I actually voted for this guy..twice? fooled once, shame o you, fooled twice, shame on me.

Excuse me, ...who's the scumbag???

Good for him! I think what that reporter did was disgusting and a disgrace to journalism!

Oh boy, here we go again. Can we in USA put Bill and Hillary behind us and chose a fresh face in politics. Bill is a cheater. Once a cheater always a cheater. I am so glad that Hillary will not be in the white house and we do not have to hear about Bill's cheating ways.

Democrats please unite and support the nominee, Obama. Let's work to fix this country not divide us and free us from these distractions. Bill and Hillary can retire in Puerto Rico, there's lots of Spanish babes there for Bill...

This is a man or Xpresident who committed numerous adulteries, jennifer Flowers, Paula, Monica, and many more who were afraid and stayed concealed. Is he suffering from "amnesia", that he had forgotten his affairs? His wife caused the death of Vince Foster, who was hier close friend and maybe, lover, etc. Do these people feel that some people will forget about their baggage? Hillary was a PATHOLOGICAL liar(s). She made remarks that were offensive and now they blame the news media for their LOSS. This black guy came from nowhere and was able by the power of his campaign, moved him to this level. Gee this black guy is amazing. So the Clintons really have to be frustrated. They had the best POLITICAL MACHINE and couldn't win.. The poor CLINTONS. Do we have to feel sorry for them? Life has to go on..

The statement "he's a dishonest guy" just doesn't have much sting when it comes from Bill Clinton.

SO WHAT'S NEW .....

WE KNOW ALL THAT THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES.....

ITS TIME FOR CLINTON'S TO GET OUT OF OUR SIGHT....

FORMER WHITE FEMALE HILLARY SUPPORTER.

I was like 28 before I realized that Vanity Fair wasn't a smut magazine.

Bill Clinton seems to be angry all the time.

Imagine if the Lewinsky thing were happening today, instead of 10 years ago.

What does this have to do with Obama? Where is Bill's logic? I think he has tarnished his image a lot since the Hillary campaign began.

Johnny come lately. This is no longer your party Mr. President.

We have seen this kind news past 6 months
The question is why in this time specially last date of the primary
One more time the media proved they are anti Clinton
Hillary 08 change into Mc Cain 08

I think SCUMBAG is APPROPRIATE! No sources were named as usual, and repeating this Garbage is insulting to all concerned!

I am an Obama supporter but I have to say that this reporter should be ashamed of himself!

Ruining people's lives with a bunch of anonymous sources. In that case, you could write anything about anyone at anytime.

This was sad and pathetic.

Obama '08!

I think Bill was right calling that reporter scumbag. He does not have any evedance against bizarre behaviour from Bill after surgery.
Also that report was crude.

How on Earth does Clinton connect this stupid article to Obama????

Everything that has gone wrong with the Clinton campaign is apparently somone elses fault! They can't take responsibility for ANYTHING

and now, some idiot writes a article that ruffles Bill's feathers, AND HE BRINGS OBAMA INTO IT???!!!!! It just doesnt make sense.

This is not exactly the best way to start the conversation about the "dream ticket".

It's true, he tried to hit on my cousin!

considering the article has no sources, nor never actually names any 'affairs' or anything else, its deserves to have president clinton lambaste it.

The language used by president clinton is less than presidential, but I dont blame him.

He is tired. He doesnt want to campaign anymore. He just wants to be left alone. He wants nothing to do with politics.

Yes Bill, we believe you. We know, you really never did cross the road with that chicken.

Obama '08

The journalist is a scumbag, and has no business speculating on someone's health and how their health affects their behavior. It is a known fact that heart disease and strokes can affect a patient's personality and can lead to depression. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's nothing to use for the start of scandelous rumors or to slur a man's reputation. It needs to be met with sympathy, maturity, and adult understanding. We do not know - nor is it our business to know - how Clinton's health has changed or not changed his behavior. It is just another tawdry attempt to smear the Senator's campaign and I'm afraid it's Scumbags 1/Clintons 0. I think Obama and his supporters learned from Bush that if you want to win, you need to steal votes and play dirty. Unfortunately for Obama, McCain is the teacher's pet.

Why does he have to apologize for this? Purdum said worse in his article, and I don't see him apologizing. Besides, Clinton's description really isn't inaccurate.

Sheesh, I cannot believe I am defending Bill Clinton, but this apology stuff has gone too far. Is everyone in politics suddenly THAT thin skinned?

And he, "never had sex with that woman."

Who are you going to believe?

The Clintons should go to Florida and retire with all their supporters.

Yea, right, Bill. He's the one who's dishonest, right?

It's obvious that your public behavior has changed...for the worse–tantrums, name-calling, etc.

YOU are the one who's been proven to be dishonest and a womanizer.

Sorry, but we do believe the article. Your comeback is laughable!

Way to go Bill!! Tell it like it is. The media (Obama Networks) have been after you & Hillary for years. DON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
The sexist, racist group took the nomination away from Hillary, but not to worry, Hillary supporters will still be there for her in 2012.
Convince Hillary not to even consider running for VP with Obama. He only needs her for his own benefit and without Hillary, Obama will fall flat on his face! We can handle 4 years of McCain and be ready for Hillary in 2012.
This Democrat that cast my first vote for John F. Kennedy, is no longer a Democrat and won't be again until Hillary runs again. I will be voting for John McCain. At least I know where he stands on issues. I know nothing about Obama except he lies a lot, has radical friends and lots of teeth. Not enough to be my President.

eyeroll

It is sad indeed that Bill Clinton continues to hide and deny what is obvious, he is a womanizer. So much has been written about him, there is plenty of evidence, but he wants to remain in denial.

That's what's sad about Hillary & Bill, they have a marriage of convenience not love. Its about power. I for one, would not stay in a marriage for political reasons, what kind of message would I send to my children? I think this is why they wanted the presidency so badly, just to have something to work for, something to unite them........ sad.

I lost respect for Bill when he lied to us about "that woman"........ he would have been seen as courageous and sympathetic if he had had some decency and admitted that he made a mistake, rather than lie and then have to be impeached.

Goodbye, Mr. & Mrs. Clinton, please, get some counseling.

He is a scumbag. Real women will hand McCain the keys to the White House

Bill can go back to hanging around sleazy men and women!!

Are you thinking about Monica, Bill? Human nature says you are!!

Really, President Clinton....really? Who's the scumbag? You're such a lier, you don't even know how to tell the truth!!!

It is a hatchet job and it's ugly gossip being spread based on no name sources has just about enough credibility as FOX News.

We all know FOX News credibility and reputation is at the bottom of the barometer just below The Colbert Report.

Since when is defending yourself a crime? Who give's a rat's-a## about the scumbag reporter(s) . I think CNN is lookin to SENSATIONALIZE any little thing they can because they want to be the scumbag-leader of gossipland. Shame on you especially, I am sorry to say ~ Anderson 360 Cooper. who was showed us how stupid he is with his teasers on waiting for the "actual-audio" of Bill Clinton last evening. As if Cooper had a "Japanese Strikes Pearl Harbor" Headline, unfortunately he too is another Chicken Little trying to drum up any kind of bias towards the Clintons. Perhaps if the Democrats want to shove Obama down the throats, then Hillary should become an Independent candidate. I will never vote for Obama, I will campaign against him, if I have to, until the election. And, that may not be the "CHICAGO-way " of Politic-ing, that's the you get what you deserve way.

My Mom always said "a leopard cant change its spots."

WJC WAS ONE OF THE BEST PRESIDENTS WE HAD IN HISTORY. THE O.B. SUPPORTERS AND CLINTON HATERS ARE ONLY MAKING IT WORST FOR THEIR CANIDATE. HRC WOULD MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT ,BUT THIS COUNTRY JUST LIKES TO GO DEEPER IN CRAP.THEY RATHER BE BIAS AGAINST A WOMAN FOR OUR LEADER AND VOTE FOR A UNKOWN,UNQUALIFIED AFRICAN AMERICAN BECAUSE HE IS A MAN.WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

Why in the world does everything have to come back to Obama? Does Clinton seriously think Obama could convince Todd Purdum to do him any favors?

"He's just a dishonest guy — can't help it."

Sorry– but it takes one to know one.
That's one of the reasons I backed Obama instead of Hillary Clinton... I don't need her husband back in the White House.

WOW.... I have to wonder if he isn't secretly on Obama's payroll. He certainly hasn't helped Hillary's campaign at all!

Vanity Fair magazine is like the weekyl supermarket tabloids, trash
and garbage. Get a life Tood.

I'm glad Bill said you are a scum bucket.

Obama/Nagel 2008/2012.....Obama does not need Hillary to win the presidency.....there are plenty of hard working white men/women who can get the VP slot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....it's clear to me the states that overwhemingly voted for her has knowingly racist problem....it's sad but true....you cant win wyoming, wisconsin, iowa with a great percentage and say he doesn't appeal to white people...that's ridiculous....it's the few that made up in their minds back in 1957 they would never vote a black person....some of those feelings have trickled down the next generation, because that's how they were raised....how can hillary and obama share the same viewpoints and her supporters vote mccain...that's just DUMB!

Also, this is another one of Obama's strategies about not getting his hands dirty but getting others to do the work for him.

It's the typical Washington way.

Change? Yeah right!

I am always suspicious of writers that quote "anonymous" sources. I do not care if it is a Republican or Democrat, this is not fair journalism. In this country, it is so easy to destroy a person's character because you cannot respond to people that are saying things about you if you do not know who they are. Of course, people that hate President Clinton are loving this. Since I am a Christian, I believe in forgiveness, but there are others that for some reason, want to destroy Hillary and Bill. I do not understand the hatred and am glad I do not share these feelings. During the Democratic primaries, I have learned a lot of things about Democrats that I do not like and will become an Independent. I am no longer a "loyal" Democrat that will vote for the party and not the individual.

Do we want ppl like him on the whitehouse? never!! Please do not offer Hillary the VP spot!

This is typical of Bill Clinton-no surprises.

A dishonest guy??? Hmmm...... "I did NOT have sexual relations, with that woman."

OK, Bill.

he also lashed out at obama!! whers's that article cnn??? know u probaly won't post this."

Sleezy? Scumbag? Dishonest?

Remember Monica, Bill?

Old habits die hard, don't they Bill? Thats why Hillary cant be on the ticket, he's too much baggage.

Well.....fool me once, shame on you.......fool me twice, shame on me......we have been down this road before Billy C......"I have never had sexual relations with that woman"....uhh......remeber that.....stain on the dress.....fellatio.....ok Bill, once a philanderer, always a cheatin dog.......at least admit it this time, so we dont have to catch you in a lie AGAIN....how bad would that make the Clintons look......about as bad as they really are.....

I don't know if there is any truth in this article or not but it is a reminder of the baggage that the Clinton's bring to the table. The Republicans would have a field day with all of this if Hillary were on the ticket. Another really good reason to choose someone else for VP. If she doesn't want t ocontinue her career in hte Senate Hillary would make a good secretary of Health and Human Services....We should use her considerable skills and put her to work on solving the health care crisis.

Perhaps you "protest too hard." Your previous history will not allow the public to give you the benefit of the doubt.

This is one reason you and your wife should pack up and go home. Visually seeing you in the White House again makes my skin crawl.

bill clinton has every right to use those words for the reporter in question. Reporters have to be subject to at least public name calling unless they can substantiate their claims.
if this is part of the freedom of press, same freedom at least to respond has to be extended to people who r subjected to the claims.

----hey bill,

i've lost the respect for you looong time ago,

when you had a chance to go after Bin Laden what were you doing instead?

Chasing The Girls (monica,and many others) In Our W.H!!

and let's NOT forget about your stupid wife....
she didn't even bother to read the papers.....and just authorized the iraq war.

Shame On CLINTONS.

Bill Clinton is correct...........Todd Purdum is garbage.

Todd is is scum of the earth.................Tood knows that his wife likes Bill Clinton and Bill does not like her most likely.

Todd is jealous.

I think Bill Clinton had every right to say what he said and I would support him but seeing what he said after about Obama really hurts me and I'm sure other Obama supporters...I think he's somewhat deliusional to say some of the things he said about Mr. Obama, and it's sad because he was a very smart president but now I've lost respect for him because of the claims he made about Obama having other's do his dirty work. I fully support his lash out against this so called journalism, but to then try to pin it on Obama disgusts me.

I had GREAT respect for the Clintons but it's almost fully deminished.

I think that Newspapers and Magazine editors should insist that if you are going to make charges against a person, that unless those who make the allegations are willing to be named, the story should not be printed. Unnamed sources just doesn't cut it.

But now that it is out, unfortunately it will take on a life of its own and Bill Clinton will have to address. Having said that, I am a little taken back by Bill Clinton's response, he had not read the article but that he was told that "there's five or six just blatant lies in there". That makes him have to speak on those items, which could be a problem.

"very careful to say there is no clear cut evidence that President Clinton has done anything improper."

That 's what the scumbag said after he trow on Clinton all the garbage he had. He call himself editor....

An obvious attack by a pro-Obama supporter.

Hope he the reporter is investigated.

Motions are running high because they lost the primary election and to put the salt on an open wound, by an African-American. Because the democratic party did not put a end to this sooner, the democratic party is now divided and it is going to be hard to get either Hillary or Barack elected, although, I believe, after Hilliary is out of the race Obama will be able to hold his own and win Americans over. He does not need Hillary as his vice president because there is too much baggage with the Clinton's which is why McCain wanted so desparately to run against Hillary and not Barak. The repulicans have nothing else on Obama whic is why McCain is pushing his experience in the middle east, which is all he have left to defeat Obama. Obama has his work cut out for him but with the help of American's looking for change, he will prevail.

It is clear that Purdum’s intent was to smear and do harm to Bill Clinton. In a follow up interview Purdum was asked why the article failed to mention all the positive things Bill did such as his fund raising efforts. Purdum made some inane remark that is was not pertinent to the article. I see, so all the so called “anonymous” sources spewing gossip are pertinent but the millions of dollars raised to fight poverty are not? Give me a break Purdum. This is slime ball journalism at its worst. I’m glad bill gave him the third degree and reamed him out. Purdum deserved it. For some folks it’s the only kind of language they understand.

What?? Bill Clinton is a philanderer? I had no idea. Thank you, Mr. Clinton, for defending your pristine reputation.

For anyone who read the article, Bill Clinton's comments were not out of line when he called the journalist a scum bag. The article was such a low blow, and completely uncalled for. Why is it such a big deal that Clinton stood up for himself in the same way that any other person would if that was said about him or her, esp. since there were no citations?

Let's get real.

Hillary, '08. The fight isn't over.

Truth hurts Bill, Who cares its just the truth.

Thats odd, Paula Jones and Chelsea Clinton look just like each other.
If you google each of them you will see what I mean.

Or......is it possible that Purdum is telling the truth and Clinton is the "sleazy" "scumbag?"

Let's just cut Mr. Bill a little slack, shall we? After all would he not be something of an expert on the appropriateness of using a colloquial term for a used condom to describe another human being? This is his area of expertise!

Big crybaby Billy can"t handle the truth. Bye bye Clintons ....your reign is over at last !!!!!!

Every person in North America needs a lesson in media studies and informal logic. This biased "ad hominem " reporting is sickening at best.

Don't think Bill Clinton needs to apologize for any thing he said. That article was in bad taste and a blackeye for Vanilty Fair.

Truth hurts doesn't it you pandering, philandering old liar!

he still cannot get over that his ordained wife lost instead of accepting responsibility like an adult would he isntead is still trying to blame everyone else. Oh the media is too hard on her and too easy on him.. RIGHT thats why we had no stop coverage of Rev. Wright, taken out of context, for almost a month and NOTHING about Peter Paul, thats why we had coverage of Obama's ties with Rezko but NOTHING about her ties with Rezco.. yep biased media... they have been supporting Hillary since the start, look at THIS web site if you do not believe it there is an almost 2 to 1 positive articles for Hillary than Obama, do the research if you can (I know some of you are educationally handicapped but it is there.

Moronic Clintonistas

AH...you mean a scumbag like yourself Mr. President. There goes the pot calling the kettle black. And I don't mean the pot that you didn't inhale Mr. President.

Billy's an angry man, and with good reason: he's a joke in the press, a mediocre past president, and a man who thought through his pants intsead of with his brain. Apparently, he's still not too stable and nearly everything upsets him - but he acts like a man blindly defending his wife against neighborhood gossip, or a college frat boy defending himself against accusations that he's cuckolded by his girlfriend. His indignance is not righteous: the truth hurts, and that's why he's so upset. The man needs to understand that he's NOT doing himself or her campaign any favors by raging at people - and that if she does make it to the White House (God forbid), that he will NOT be able to stand at the podium and blow about whatever he wants. Billy always needed to grow up, and now, in the face of his gorgon's campaign, even more so.

Good I am so glad he did. I think the language was appropriate. He didn't have anyone on the record in his article. I am so sick of the attacks on President Bill Clinton. Anything to sell papers or magazines. And I wonder why he is so angry all the time!

Nobody has to "make up" stuff about Bill Clinton. Everything he's been accused of has always turned out to be true.

"It's just the most biased press coverage in modern history. It's another way of helping Obama," he said. "It's all about the bias of the media for Obama."

I have lost alot of respect for Bill Clinton. I dont know if the Vanity Fair piece is true or false and I wont speculate.

But to somehow blame Barack Obama? Media bias?

Bill and Hillary have really sunk low. They have played every card possible. Racism. Sexism. Favortism. What's Next??

Next you will tell us Barack Obama is actually a Sith Lord, using the Dark Side of the Force to cloud our vision so he can gain office and become Emperor of the Galaxy.

Enough already please......

I feel President Clinton was frustrated and thats why he miss spoke so badly , but having said that I felt it was *wrong* to pin this on Senator Obama,.not once during this campaign did Sen Obama ever bring up the Clinton baggage.
He has rose above that and should be commended in a favorable light for doing so!
I still think they would make a great team on the ticket!!
However would Bill know his place and knowing how he really deeply feels about Sen Obama would this hinder that team!!

I think scumbag pretty accurately describes Purdum. That's how I would describe him.

So which liar is more credible, one who has been under oath or one who has not.

I really don't think Vanity Fair should have published the accusations about Clinton that were unsourced.

I'm an Obama supporter, but the smut slung in this campaign is beyond belief and for no better reason than to grab headlines for media ratings.

Hil should take her disgusting goat of a husband and get back to NY.

It takes one..................

I think we all know the reporter was telling the truth. bill's rantings and ravings are becoming worrisome. Do we really want four more years of them?

Bill has completely lost it.

This is a sad thing to have to say but it's time that the Clintons retired from the spotlight and parked themselves in rocking chairs on the front porch.

They have both become a major embarrasment to this country. Nobody wants their sleazebag politics and philandering ways anymore. Hopefully a new day is about to dawn on American politics. It's exciting to watch and most certainly a breath of fresh air!

PRESIDENT CLINTON IS RIGHT 100%. SOME PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE MEDIA.
WHAT THE MEDIA IS GOING TO INVENT AND CALL NEWS AFTER AND IF HILLARY
IS OUT OF THE RACE.
HILLARY 08 THE MOST PREPARED AND QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT

OMG,,,is this the "pot calling the kettle black"?

I’m reminded of the image of Bill Clinton in front of a huge American flag with his leg up on the bumper of a fire red pick-up truck. Bill Clinton is a smart politician with great curbside appeal – very smooth and polished when he needs to be. Underneath the hood, however, is (in my opinion) an angry, finger-pointing, arm-twisting egotist who has been known to lie and … “can’t help it.” He’ll never admit to any wrongdoing. I tend to believe the Vanity Fair article. Sorry!

Clinton said he had not read the article but that he was told that "there's five or six just blatant lies in there. But he's a real slimy guy."

He did not read but made those comments?

It takes one to know onw Billy Boy!!

The only scum bags I see are the CLINTONS!!!!!

Is anyone surprised by this? For all the Obama people–think long and hard about what the Clintons bring to the party.

Bill was right for a change.Its time to go after all the scumbags like Limbaugh.Im making a list of his radio sponsors.If Imus can be punished so can Rush.

Hey if somebody lied on me personally, I would called them a scumbag and so would any one else. Any person who writes a comment saying they would not go after the writer or call him a scumbag is not telling the truth themselves.

Never did quite say that he wasn't womenizing on the campaign trail now did he...

People are SO stupid. Think about the timing of the article. Think about all the good the Pres Clinton did for our country. What a major paid off jerk to write the article. Dee Dee you need to get the man under control! I am tired of the same old s...they dig up on Bill and Hill...leave them alone. The media destroyed her chance to be elected and when Mr. Wonderful with his same candied speech is elected we will see how he stands up against reality!!! Vanity Fair...how much did you make off of the article!!!! and CNN thanks for making it headlines for 2 days...What's wrong with calling the guy slimy. Why not focus on Dick Cheney and his big stupid mouth!!!!!!! I give up! You will get what you get and don't throw a fit.

Bill Clinton calling someone dishonest turns my stomach. I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is. These are the same people that claimed it was a "vast right wing conspiracy" when the Monica Lewinsky affair first came to light.

Which one is the Pot and which one is the Kettle?

A leopard doesn't change its spots. 'Nuff said.

If he is a sleasy scumbag, you too have a lot in common Mr. Bill

Isn't that the kettle calling the pot black! This coming from a lying, cheating, adulterer. "He's a sleaze", have a look in the mirror Bill.

Bills right.

The media is dishonest and political.

It's too bad nobody seemed to notice when they were smearing Bush the past 7+ years.

I have some sympathy for Bill here. I don't particularly like the way he and Hillary campaigned against Obama in the primaries, but I think he's a genuinely decent guy. He's made some mistakes – obviously – but I tend to believe Clinton over this reporter.

Seems like Vanity Fair has been bought by the Obama Campaign !

If they choose Obama over Hillary ,thats fine ,but to write such a disgustingly nasty piece "so called anon" is really reaching the bottom of the barrel.
I do hope they have finally destroyed this Rag of a Mag !

Bill Clinton is a fine one to call another person a scumbag. He still is the Scumbag -in- Chief.

that's what this whole primary season has been about, tear everybody down, the reporters ARE NOT REPORTERS, THEY SHOULD GO WORK FOR THE ENQUIRER. THAT'S THE KIND OF JOURNALISM THEY PRINT. I'm so fed up with the medea. They cause discord in our country. They don't report actual happenings, they make up stories about everyone and then people have to try to defend themselves. They are really sick, and I'm not just saying that about this article, it's been for the last 18 months, nothing but garbage from them. But I am surprised at Vanity Fair, I used to like that magazine but it obviously is nothing more than a gossip rag now. Such a shame

I have no problem with Clinton calling someone a scumbag; it's a free country. The reporter may very well be a scumbag. But so is Clinton. In the White House or out, he's a scumbag. What he does since becoming a private citizen is of no concern. I, like many, still distrust him from his presidency days, where he showed his true character many times over. His legacy will forever remain a lie (pointed, boney finger with a look of false anger into a camera) and a stained blue dress. A leopard can't change its spots.

Bill Clinton is calling someone a 'very dishonest person'...pot, meet kettle.

I think Bill Clinton is expressing frustration as he faces defeat. I hope that he and his wife will do the right thing and fully support Obama. Given his statement yesterday; this is the last time that he will campaign, my hopes seem unlikely.

Well it sure sounds like the reporter is scummy. Clinton's behavior has only chnaged because he is free to be human now and can be more honest in his remarks. Heaven forbid that a politician says what is on their mind. Grow up Clinton haters.

Had Bill Clinton stayed home, Hillary might have had a better shot at winning the nomination.

Bill Clinton decries sexism. He is the sexist of all sexists.

All those who believe he is the number 1 man in America who does not want Hillary to be president, raise your hand.

"The Situation Room" Monday afternoon, saying he was "very careful to say there is no clear cut evidence that President Clinton has done anything improper."

Well, then why did he write this stupid article and post it the day before a primary if there is no clear cut evidence. Journalist these days are getting away with everything. They could just write a bad article about you just because they don't like you and the article would be full of crap and people would believe it.

Go home Slick Willie
from a
Former Clinton Supporter

I don't know how dishonest the reporter may be, but it was a hatchet job. It is speculative information; because that is the way it was presented. It maybe true, but it was present in a dirty fashion. It has nothing to do with our economy, war in Iraq, or gas prices.

I'm not a fan of Bills wife nor the way he choose to behave during the campaign, but this is a questionable attack. One thing it does confirm is Bill can not be anywhere near the upcoming Democratic Administration. He is uncontrollable. That means Hillary would not be a smart choice for VP. The distraction she and bill would create would take away from the issues at hand.

Bill calling someone dishonest, HA! When he and Michelle are in the white house together, that is when the fun will start!!

The last sentence in this piece:

"Purdum last year wrote an article about the work of Sen. John McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee for president, to draw in the party's more conservative voters."

Excuse me? Are you saying he was commissioned to write an article in order to achieve a particular political end?

If so, as much as I may want to hear what he's relating, that's not reportage or commentary, it's propaganda.

It's time to unite the party, this is bigger than Obama or Clinton. This is about doing what's right for ourselves and our future.

Democrats '08

Here is a (Former) President convicted of Ly..ing on the stand...! and calls someone. He's acting like a "Thug" at least he dresses like one sometimes...dishonest......get a "Straight Jacket "ready quick..!

...and Bill should know all about scumbags – He authored the definitve text on becoming one, with his tenure as Arkansas Governor, and followed it with a display of forceful mastery, as our Chief Executive.

Sorry Bill...your Teflon has worn thin.

The only "scumbag" in this story is William Jefferson Clinton and his disgraceful propensity toward adultery. While Hillary Clinton is concerned about sexism, Billy Boy is still concerned about getting sex. A polygraph test would bear [bare] this all out, once and for all.

It is so sad what has become of President Clinton. He went from one of the most loved, to one of the most embarrasing ex-presidents.

Perhaps what that author wrote has some merits, in that it does appear President Clinton is not the same man he was. But I blame it more on being married to Hillary, than the surgery. How could anyone withstand that horror.

I hope all works out well for President Clinton, but I do think he should stay out of the public view for a while. I fear his legacy is lost.

I hope Hillary concedes this week, and they can retreat to their ill-gotten gains and relax and leave us alone for a while. Please!

If this reporter has not concrete evidence, then I think nothing should be said about 'He said, She said'.

I think alot still can't get over 'NOONE cares about what is happening in private.'. I had money in my pocket, food in my fridge and took vacations when President Clinton resided at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I also don't recall in my lifetime seeing eggs being thrown at a presidential motorcade during an inaugarational ceremony.

It is sad that they are apologizing for him defending himself against a cheap shot.

Since when did Bill Clinton, of all the people in the world, get the right to call a reporter dishonest or sleazy?

I mean, this is a guy who was disbarred for perjury, has had at least two consensual affairs while in office, attempted a third but was refused and raped a woman.

Ever notice how often Whitewater, Ken Starr, bias or "conspiracy" are part of any Clinton response to criticism? One that is usually successful with the already-converted core of Bill & Hill believers. Clinton's response is more about the press and their perceived cabal of Obama supporters, than about his ongoing, live-on-national-television transformation from "Bubba" to "Cheney-lite." Bill needs to accept that he was part of the problem in the collapse of Hillary's annointment march back to the Oval Office.

This is exactly why women like myself, who are staunch Hillary supporters will NEVER vote for the Democratic candidate-Barack Obama. The media has been evil when it comes to the Clintons. And, the population of folks in our society who are all too willing to violate one of the cardinal rules of Christianity "let those who have not sinned cast the first stone". The plain and simple truth is, the DNC has corrupted our party to get a candidate into the general election who will not win, Hillary would have won. And, because of the misogyny that is encouraged by the media and the DNC, I, and I hope most of the other Hillary supporters, will vote for the Republican candidate. We will show the world that we are principled, moral, ethical folks, who will not covertly support corruption. I know the Republicans will beat the Democrats in November if all the Hillary supporters, most of whom are women, will "slap the DNC in the face" with our scorn. Go John McCain!!!

Here is a little FYI for you all.

When they CRY, Call names, fuss, and deny.

BUT

Do not sue for defamation, libel OR Slander

ITS TRUE!!!!!

Just like farenheit 911 and movies and books like that.

The liberal facsist media is nasty.lets kick her when shes down never mind that they were the socialists heros of the 90s.So much for that vast right wing conspiracy.Your not liberal enough for them Hil.Now you know what its like to be a republican.Lies lies lies smear smear smear, liberal fascism at its nastiest.

It has always been 'someone elses' fault with Bill. He blames the media, the Republican Party and if necessary his own Party when his scandals are revealed. The Clinton's have got down and dirty during this campaign but continue feel that their background is not an issue and should not be reported or revealed.

Who is this idiot reporter? Whether one likes Bill Clinton or not, this guy does sound like an idiot... or trashy!

Well, here we go again with the negativity and lies being spread about former President Bill Clinton. This is another last-ditch attempt for the Obama camp and supporters to dish out garbage that is not true. I believe that this is happening because Obama's camp wants the heat off of him. Remember, Bill Clinton is not running for President. Hillary Clinton is and she so deserves the nomination for President. The people have spoken and we believe her to STILL be the stronger candidate to run against John McCain. I will not listen to the lies, deceptiveness, and definite negativity and divisiveness coming from the Obama camp and its supporters. You should be ashamed of yourselves. HILLARY CLINTON WILL NOT LET THIS INTERFERE WITH HER CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENT. SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO KEEP FIGHTING ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION. PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING SENATOR CLINTON SO WE CAN SEE YOU IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Pudrum is just trying to smear former President Clinton.

Having an article and not naming your sources and only vaguely referring to them strongly suggests that those points were made up and have no factual basis.

Try submitting such an article to any college or proper journal and it would never be published, but it seems that Vanity Fair has either endorsed Obama secretly or has no standards of reporting.

Shameful really.

I don't know what is going on with this family. It's like they are going nuts. It's truly unbelievable and quite sad.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. This kind of information should not come as "new" news about the former Prez......it's just more of the same. Personally, nothing that either Bill or Hilary do at this point should come as any big surprise to anyone... Sc*&mbag, indeed.......

Hmmm.....Bill's doing a little projecting?

Takes one to know one.

That reporter is a scum bag for righting that article. We are trying to come together as a democratic party and that dumb reporter rights an article like this. That reporter is actually trying his hardest to push the Clinton supporters away from the Obama supporters. That reporter is a snake and a scum bag.

Calling a scumbag a scumbag is appropriate! I see nothing wrong in calling a bad guy a bad name!!! Freedom of speech!!! As long as no four letter words are used, that's OK!!!

oh boy, oh boy.....there's a scumbag on the loose...actually its a mr. & mrs. scumbag...if you get the drift HAHA

Well Bill Clinton...

As you stated to Obama...

If you don't want to get hit – take the pads off!

And the Clinton's wonder why they get bad press...

..... Nothing positive spews out of their mouths....

While I can't speak for the article's author, it seems that an age-old idea would apply...it does indeed take one to know one.

As much as I sympathise with Bill on this one he called it upon himself by exposing himself the second time round to every hawk in the media.

Bill, some advise, retire honorably and convince Hillary to go with you and safe your heart some pain. It can not handle it anymore.

why should president clinton apologise why do writers have the right to slamyour name in the mudd and you can't call them a slumbag? you and he have the right to slap slander in the face.

Stop whining you baby. You've turned into a joke of a former President.

"scumbag" – we do know the etymology of this word don't we feminists?

Bill Clinton's angry response just proves the truth in the VF story.

Why is it that all of our U.S. Media is either afraid to print it, or have been paid off not to. Barak Hussein Obama is his name. If it looks
like a Duck and walks like a Duck, and quacks like a duck, Its a G.D. Duck. Why have we not seen his full name on the front page of every
newspaper. If he makes it, and when he is sworn in, what will you print then?, when he refuses to salute our flag or place his hand on the bible.
Cut us some slack, and print Obama's full name in your newspapers
before it is too late for America to see just who the News Media is pushing into the White House..

I dont see what the former president's philandering and temper have to do with Obama. Weak Mr President, weak.

Oh now don't slight the man for being a womanizer, like we didn't all know. My question is he the only womanizer in the couple? Would Huma tell the truth though? There is no shame in being what ever you are. But the shame lies in the thinking no one knows.

Bill Clinton did the right thing and let the sleaze -bag reporter have it. You know the media has been calling Bill Clinton racist or giving that impreesion and questioning his abilities. The rant by cnn and pmsnbc lobied against Bill Clinton was nothing but a ploy for their canidate of choice Obama. Bill Clinton was the best democrat canidate to come along since Harry Truman. The media wants to put John Kennedy up as a great president. He had more affairs than Bill Clinton and pushed us almost into a nuclear war with Russia,totally messed up the Bay of Pigs and only won the presidency by fraud in chicago and media bias as cnn and pmsnbc is doing now. If Hillary had listen to Bill and got down in the dirt when the Obama camp did and blaasted the media earlier for their bais and sexism the picture would have been different. She would have made a great president but she lacks the fighting ability and toughness that Bill does. Bill would have cleaned the clock of Obama. The only reason this story was run is at the behest of the democrat leaders to try and force Hillary out and to try to sway Clinton voters to Obama. Sorry that won't work. Bill only played softball because that was the way Hillary wanted to play it. Oh by the way James Clyburn coming out at the last minute for Obama. I love the way the media is playing it out with him that he finally decided. The media as well as I knew that like 90% of the blacks he was always in Obama's corner. Good try media and you wonder why we think of the press as scum bags. The press is just as bad as politicians. They have no integrity and slant the news for the canidate of their choice. I tell you how I knew Clyburne was for Obama. When coordinating with the press to call Bill Clinton,s remarks about Jesse Jackson and his south carolina remark. I didn't hear Clyburne condeming Obama and Trinity Church. Of course cnn and pmsnbc wouldn't have either if Fox had not broke the news. Bill is right and their is nothing wrong in what he said. He stated the facts and the media cannot handle the truth throwed back in their face.

Bill Clinton has "0" credibility. When he lied under oath, pointed his finger in our faces and said "I did not have sex with that woman..." instead of doing the right and honorable thing of resigning. He lost his right to talk about "truth."

How our country would have been different if Al Gore had called Clinton out. If Gore had done this or himself resigned under protest, our nation would be in much better and different place.

how funny! bill clinton is calling someone else sleazy and dishonest! How about the way he had his ho up in the white house disrespecting Hillary? i know hillary acts as if it never happen, but the rest of us still feel betrayed by it.

of all the gall, notice how bill never stated that it was absolutely not true. he attacks the reporter. pure republican tactics!

Sen obama had nothing to do with this story, but you see how they tried to drag him down in the mud with them?

this is the reason why hillary can't be VP. Sen Obama is tired of apologizing for sleazy, stupid people. he needs to place all his attention on getting our troops home and fixing the economy. it's a tall order but i have every confidence that President Obama will do a good job for us.

CNN YOU ARE PREJUDICE, ANYTHING SOMEONE COMMENT ABOUT CLINTON NEG. YOU LEAVE SO PEOPLE CAN FEEL SORRY FOR HER AND VOTE....IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO MODERATE THESE COMMENTS THAT HAVE MADE IT LOOK AS IF WE THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ONLY WRITE NEG. THINGS!

While I think that the article in Vanity Fair was distasteful and unfair to the former President, it just confirms that the Clintons have way too much baggage which could affect the outcome of the general election. This is why Obama should not even consider Clinton as his running mate. The republicans are looking for ammunition to use and the Clintons certainly have alot of it.

Life is very weird specially in politics. Bill Clinton used to be one of the most powerful and respectful personality around the world and now see how he is being treated. Every politician should seat back and think about the way they should conduct themself in public life.

Despite what he has done in his private life all the good things he did could not be evaporated as a flash of lightning.

Dishonesty may equal Clintons ??? Very odd!!

Beyond that I think his last respects shoul be paid to him.

This is an attempt to discredit BillClinton with no concrete evidence to support it. It is nothing more then bovine feces. You have to wonder about motive, why now? We all know the media has been anti-Clinton. This only confirms our supicions. I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November.

Bill to be honest you are the one sticking it to your wife with your actions these past few months......

Why is that African American voters are suppose to believe and trust in a White President nominee to treat all colors people fair, but most of white voters use Obama race to not vote for him (he is multiracial)?

You say your wife is being picked on to hand Obama the presidential nominee. If that's the case she is not alone, because they are doing the same thing to Mechelle Obama with LIES, LIES, LIES....

Fair or not, the Cinton's make outstanding media content. We have seen this from the moment they burst on the political scene. I don't think that there is a conspiracy against Hillary, as he has claimed, but the media does project Obama in a more positive light than the Clinton's. Maybe because there is some truth to that?

You've got to be kidding me...Clinton calling someone else a "Scumbag"! I think this is a prime example of the "pot calling the kettle black"! The guy has just about lost it. He cannot accept the fact that his wife will not get the Democratic nomination.

How come no one is higlighting the fact that he is the husband of Dee Dee myers?

Don't blame Bill a bit! He must get tired of reporters that pretend to be serious journalists when they really should be working for the Enquirer. I wonder how much that self importnat little twit was paid for that innuendo filled piece of garbage? Hope they paid him in silver dollars...it would be fitting.

I Read the Article, and I agree 100 Percent with the Person who wrote it! Shame ON YOU BILL ! The ONLY Scumbag" would be You, and I am so glad that this article was written... It was Long Over due.. Go Home and Crawl Under a Rock... We are sick and tired of Listening to Your Rants and Raves... If I was Hillary I should have divorced YOU a Long time ago.... Get some Help to deal with Your Anger Managment,, It is LONG over due!!

The editor is Dee Dee Myers husband, former press secretary for Bill Clinton. I am wondering if she had any input at all. I am more inclinded to believe this since she was so close to Mr. Clinton.

Once again CNN becomes a tabloid network. President Clinton you've helped millions of AIDS patients all over the world through your foundation.

CNN stop your bias reporting. I wish Ted Turner still own it, majority of you will be fired from your job. I miss Bernard Shaw; with exception of Lou Dobbs, NONE of you people are in the same league in the likes of Bernard Shaw.

Yeah, he also denied having sex with Monica. Bill, you are the scumbag.

The more I look at this, the less I want to vote for his wife. The last thing we need is the president's husband cheating.

Talk about calling the kettle black!

Anyone ever heard the one about the pot and the kettle?
It's funny..

It's amazing how the media has turned so negative towards the Clintons. I never bought in to the term "liberal media" before, but after this primary season I completely understand now how that term came about. The media, including this creep Purdum, will do anything to bring the Clintons down. I'm glad Bill called him a scumbag because that's what Purdum is.

THANK YOU BILL CLINTON for campaigning for Hillary. I want to also thank DICK CHENEY.

Bill you are a disgrace. The thought of you ever going back into the White House is disgusting. I expect the females you were involved with on the campaign trail will be giving interviews or writing a book.

Hillary you should have left him long ago. You are excellent in your own right. Hillary the "bitter" comment doesn't sound so bad – does it? Even tho hundreds of thousands of people have lost there jobs, homes, cars and they are paying top dollar for gas. I guess you are right those people shouldn't be bitter. I guess also the people at Barack's former Church are much worse than your husband!!! Are you going to distance yourself or leave your husband because of his comments and actions? If you should get elected you will have to deal with Cuba immediately so Bill will have plenty of cigars!!!!

YES WE CAN – WHEN WE UNITE.

THIS from the same man who 'didn't have sexual relations' with Monica???? Who managed to lie straight-faced for months??? Uh-huh. He may have managed to balancing a budget (more than what his wife appears to be able to do) but honor and integrity were never really his strong points.

Sleazy, scumbag, dishonest, slimy.....ok are we looking in the mirror – or is the mirror looking at you Bill.

and....When we see that finger going up...we need to remember....here comes a big fat lie.

People need to remember...a zebra does not change his stripes and the truth hurts.

As dishonest as you when you said, "I did not have sex with that woman"?

And "I never touched that woman"?

And "It all depends what the meaning of IS... IS"?

Or perhaps when your wife said: "... and my father ... he worked a fulltime job since the age of 11... and my mother worked a fulltime job since the age of 13 so I stand on their shoulders and understand the meaning of hard work"?

How about that Bosnia tale? Or Ireland? Or China?

If you looked up CLINTONS in the dictionary you'll see Clintons crossed out and replaced by the word dishonest!

I wonder why it's inappropriate to simply say it like it is. Clinton's personal flaws that led to his disgraceful behavior was not a matter of public policy. His administration's public policy led us to 8 years of peace and prosperity. He worked with both sides of the isle to reform welfare in a way that provided job training to prevent the economic hardships we have seen with the Current Occupant. Clinton was and is well respected in the world. The media simply cannot stand it. They must distort and pull apart every sentence uttered by Bill or Hillary until the meaning is completely unrecognizable. Then, a lazy public just sucks up the spoon-fed nonsense. It's so much easier than thinking.

I don't know why we have elections at all! Why don't we just ask the media whom they plan to elevate and whom they plan to destroy? It would save a lot of money and time.

Bill, if he is wrong, sue him for libel, don't just use strongly worded objections.

... the fact that you are making this big of a stink of it... and are NOT suing for libel... seems to me that it's an indication he's *right*...

Idiot. All Clinton did was validate EXACTLY what was reported in the article. He really is losing his mind.

Bill... STOP IT!!! Stop blaming Obama for everything wrong in Clinton land. He did not sleep with Monica, he did not steal white house furniture, he did not lie to a grand jury, he did not compare Hillary to Jesse Jackson, He Did Not Get Impeached and finally, HE DID NOT WRITE THE LIKELY TRUTHFUL ARTICAL IN VANITY FAIR. Stop Hating OBAMA! He has not wronged the Clinton's in anyway other than win the Democratic nomination. It's one thing to try to cast blame to gain a political advantage when running for president, but you have lost now. Everyone keeps talking about how hard Hillary is taking the loss, but I actually think it's you. Some how you saw this as you becoming president again. Well it didn't happen. Get over it angry man.

These bottom-feeders should be taken to task for this low-life article–they are cowards of the worst ilk-no names to back up the evidence–how low can you go news media? Another reason to vote against the radical left!

Yes, Bill we believe you are telling the truth about Vanity Fair and Obama trashing your wife……NOT! Bill you are her worst trash talker.

WHY is it that Obama is blamed for everything, everyone talking about Hillary was treated wrong, Bill snaps and anger is out of control, blame Obama & media, a white (not black) preacher mocks her, blame Obama (I don't think it matter what church he would have preach this sermon at), the media report something about her, blame the media and Obama and if she lose in a state, blame Obama. When will she be held responsible for her own actions?

She won in PUERTO RICO because most of their family members live in New York, and Vanity Fair has not been published...

its another right wing conspiracy..........say goodbye Bill

This is just a ploy by the Obama camp to make sure Superdelegates don't switch back to Hillary.

Obama is a dirty player... Just read the article that this news station had on here recently which discussed Obama's ruthlessness to win the IL Senate position by having all other candidates disqualified so he could run unopposed.

CNN, MSNBC, we the people see through your bias. Obama is not a new style of politician, he's the dirtiest kind.

Say no to the hype... Hillary has real solutions.

I voted twice for Bill and he did a good job as president. However, I also agree with a late mutual friend, a fairly famous man for whom Bill gave the eulogy at his memorial service in 2000, who said to me just a few months before he died, "Clinton is a sociopath" and I agree. We just don't need him around the White House at his point, even as First Laddie. Go Obama.

he must have hit a nerve there, eh? hehehe

Love you Bill! You are one of our best Presidents and we thank you!!!

Hillary 2008, 2012!

Hillary said that she has minor differences with Obama, and her differences with McCain are gigantic, yet you fools are threatening to vote for McCain? "Take your ball and go home politics"…lol.

FYI: The press beat up on Hillary because she was ridiculous and ran a bad campaign, not because she was a "woman."

Bill Clinton has every right to be made about this. I'm glad he used the strong language he did. For some shisters like Purdum, it is the only language they understand. Keep it up Bill and creeps of the media that you will not put up with this slander.

My questions is: What was the purpose of Purdum's report? A report on inuendos,unsourced, unnamed allegations.

If not written as a political attack then why was it written? A need to know article? Don't think so.

I believe the report was just another scathing attack, a rock in Hillary's shoe to see if it might finally bring her down. She's spoiling their Campaign because she won't throw in the towel. What a shame.

Dee Dee Meyers on Lary King last week didn't have a negative comment on the Clinton's. I wonder how she views her husband's report on opinions from unknown sources? I wonder how things will go on the homefront for the Meyers and Purdums? Maybe they will be the next subject of a similar attack as they say what goes around, comes around.

Bill Clinton has been the Poster Politician for Reporters for a decade. They need to find another Cash Cow and some substance to make a buck. The constant Bill Clinton smut reports are getting truly boring. We have Soaps and the Sopranos Series for those who need that type of entertainment.

I give Purdum three thumbs down and a thunderous Boooo! Can we get back to substance as in issues?

Your quote from Todd Purdum ("Asking why I don't focus on that [his charity work] is a little bit like asking why the musical 'South Pacific' doesn't have a song about the Normandy invasion," he said. "It's just a different topic." ) demonstrates his bias, considering the beginnng of your piece includes this: "The article, [en]titled 'The Comeback Id,' is nearly 10,000 words long and examines Clinton's years since leaving the White House." His charity work wasn't part of those year?!! Oh please! Mr. Purdum was only interested in highlighting the rumor/negatives of "Clinton's years since leaving the White House." And Clinton is angry? Yeah! If Obama makes an error, the error and how it wasn't really an error is fully documented by CNN. If Mrs. Clinton makes an error, only the error–with no explanation but with heaping details–is fully documented by CNN. Reread some articles if you don't believe that! I'm a life-long Democrate, but sorry, I won't be voting for Mr. Obama. I don't trust him (and not because he's black–he's as unsuitable to lead as George W. Bush is–where and when has Obama managed anything even close to the complexity of the presidency? He gives a nice speech, but on the Daily Show he demonstrated how he can imbue even mundane statements with his "trademark inspirational leadership." He's a fake!).

I, definitely not a Clinton supporter, felt that the Vanity article was too much inuendo, a trashy article, and totally unneccessary. No, the author never said outright that Bill Clinton did this or did that, but certainly wove the story in a way that we got the idea that the author certainly believed his own innuendo. Thought the article should be on the racks with the other rags in the grocery stores.

It's amazing that Obama is being held accountable for what his ministers and everyone else he's ever been in contact with and no one seems to care that Ms. Clinton can't control her own spouse. If she can't take care of home, God help us if she takes over the country!

Bill Clinton is a great man–he has earned the right to defend old slanderous remarks against him. What has this nation become? He has been the best President and won more votes than any President in history. AA are biting the hand that fed them and their many causes for years. We love you, Bill !

How ironic that Bill Clinton calls Tom Purdum "sleazy." LIke the pot call the kettle black....

Bill, you are a hero and i dont agree with any negative comments about you. I still dont get it..why you were pushed around about your personel relations with other women, when politicians today are pushing around the entire country with their stupid acts and corruption.
You Rock man.
On the other hand, you know very well Hillary is not the right candidate and I can sense that you want Obama to be the nominee since begining. With your advice, support Obama will be a champion like you.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Yes, Bill we believe you are telling the truth about Vanity Fair and Obama trashing your wife......NOT! Bill say the media is trashing his wife to hand the nominee over to Obama, when it's has been him and his actions that has caused her problems her entire campaign, Bill I notice how you knows what to say right before the voters go to vote, I hope they don't fall for your excuses again.

For all minorities.....you will never get an opportunity to vote for anyone of your color because these prejudice voters are not just against blacks, it's all color that are not white......

CNN please give someone the chance to explain my questions before you remove my question..thank you.

Of course, Mr. Clinton could give his doctor's permission to release their medical opinions on this matter.

Aw yes the power of projection. Nice to see his character hasn't changed.

POOOOORRRRR BILL.

Was Bill looking in a mirror when he made the sleazy comments? I think chasing skirts around the White House and then stealing anything that wasn't nailed down when he left office is pretty sleazy as well. I was sort of hoping Hillary would get elected so that we could see if the Clintons would bring back all the stuff they stole when they left the first time. "What? We're not allowed to take all of the furniture?" Sayonara Clintons.

Bill Clinton calling someone else a "slimy guy"

He must be a "real gem" LOL LOL

Bill Clinton does NOT have a temper and would NEVER fool around! How preposterous!!!

Mr. Clinton should not lecture anyone about telling lies.

I tend to believe a sleazy reporter over a sleazy politician.

News coverage is not slanted towards Obama but towards Hillary. Clinton does sound like an angry, frustrated man. Remember the article titled "Quit Moaning"? That comment was also inappropriate and insulting not only to Obama but the entire country.

Bill needs a well deserved rest. Hopefully, his loving wife will make sure he gets that res.

Bill is acting like a sour loser.!!
gracefuul thing to do is to make every effort to unite his party who elected him president

The truth hurts doesn't it Bill. And your wife stand there and thanks you for your love aand support, while your out womenizing. shame on you.

Bill Clinton is being attacked because of his past history. Yes he may have done it but however, Look at his wife could you go home to that when you have all that "Campaign Candy" out there. Having the choice would you really stick with Hillary??????

There mory Monica's of the world out there call Bill and he's listening.....

Todd Purdum is nothing more than a tabloid journalist. He should be writing for the Enquirer, The Sun, The Mirror or some other trash gossip paper.

He is as guilty as most other "so-called" investigative journalists and reporters, talking heads, poltitical analysts, these fools who have their own shows and columns like Krauthammer, Russert, Crystal, Wallace, Limbaugh, and on and on and on, who were too spineless, unethical, and spineless in the lead up to the war to ask the tough questions, have the deceny and morals to speak out then, but who do nothing but criticize now. The most recent example of this is Scott McClellan. I believe what he says in his book, but he is as guilty and complicit as Bush/Cheney themselves. Todd Purdum is no different. He is a disgrace to his profession and even the Enquirer is too good for him.

Bill. It takes one to know one!

Gee, Wonder if Bill Clinton has taken a good look in the mirror lately?
The words he used to describe the reporter fits Bill to a T!

The kettle calling the pot black, sure. Dollar and skirt chasing – 2 of Bill's best qualities.

Just another "grumpy" old man getting "grumpier."

GET RID OF THE CLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working toward unity by blaming Obama for the article i suppose?
way to go Bill (you idiot!)

The Clintons are both officially insane.

Regardless of Bill´s shortcomings,and with that I mean the scandals and the ungracious ways he behaved during this campaign,he remains the greatest president in the last 108 years.

Bill is losing it. He needs to check with his doctor if the surgery he had afftected his mind.

Bill's past behavior during his presidency is the main reason Hillary is about to lose. This article would have been an obvious lie, if Bill kept his hands to himself during his run.

Hillary Clinton's past achievements and any accomplishes she has made have been overshadowed by this man's misconduct.

whats the big deal, CLINTON is THE scumbag...

Maybe it would of been better had he said no comment

the clintons the clintons they are angry because the media has not given them the attention they are entitled to........... only cnn can do that..
Sunday all articles were about the clintons..
so go to PR and be queen and king and
stay with CNN your clinton national news network royal news

they are angry because they lost what they "feel " are entitled to have..
they are trying to portray themselves as victims because people will feel sorry for them

I am sick of the clintons, time to move on................

just elect someone else but the clintons

You have to give Senator Clinton credit. How was she able to keep the results so close with those constant attack ads. Impeachment. White Water. Travel Gate. Foster Gate. Heathcare Debacle. Loss of house, senate and governatorial seats. Monica. Bosnia lies. Real estate scandals.

Oh, that's right. Senator Obama didn't use these attacks.

the artical shows the imprint of scaife all over it..and a definate hatchet job in order have obama win the primary...they know that obam cannot win the presidential election ....so they must trash the clintons to insure that hillary is not the opponent of maccain.....

Boy, he gets mad when people reveal the truth!

The best ever President who cares what they say another moron !!
people are free in thier personal life
we wish we can bring him back

Nothing doubted!

Last line...
"He's just a dishonest guy — can't help it."

Which one are we talking about again?, lol.

If Purdum is a slimy scumbag for putting forth common rumblings about Mr. ExPresident's escapades, then what is Mr. ExPresident for lying under oath to the entire country on national television?

Slimy scumbag you say? never...

Hey. If Purdom is writing lies about anyone, he is indeed a scumbag.

Actually, I don't like the Clintons at all. But slimy guys who propagate lies about people are indeed scumbags, and should be barred from writing for what once was (prior to this) a reputable publication.

No need to apologize, campaign managers! Please sign-up for stem cell therapy... perhaps you can grow a backbone.

Bill..it's not the media's fault you were part of the worst presidential campaign in decades!!

You cant blame news coverage for your $20 million debt!!
Or for your naive approach to this campaign-thinking it would be "wrapped up by super tuesday"

The fact is, your beloved wife had some opposition!! And that opposition showed far better judgement..ran an outstanding campaign..and you simply cannot believe it!!

What this article by cnn does not say, is that Bill stated the Obama was behind it. Is the article stupid? Yes. Do I agree with Bill blowing his top? Yes. Blamming Obama? Bill is as stupid as the reporter.

If Bill would've kept his hands to himself during his presidency, then this article would have been an obvious joke and a ploy to destroy Hillary.

But, since Bill couldn't stop misbehaving during his presidency, so now this article could have some real truth to it.

This man has tarnished and overshadowed his wife's intelligence, credibiltiy and chances of becoming our country's first woman president.

Wait a tic, Bill... so the same guy who propagated all those lies about Whitewater is also in the tank for Obama?

William Jefferson Clinton has shown himself, throughout the course of this campaign, to be both the most egomaniacal ex-president since Teddy Roosevelt and the most ill-spoken ex-president... well, ever.

how is obama involved in any of this??

reckless to throw out his name as a way to deflect this story

another shameful clinton move

He's really become the champion of shooting himself in the foot. He may well have a valid point about the article or the reporter, but then lashing out at the media as a whole and for pete's sake BLAMING Obama reads like pure sour grapes and paranoid delusions. What a blowhard.

Why does Obama get blame for everything wrong with the Clintons???
He has nothing to do w/ Bill and the ladies.

NO SELF CONTROL

I don't doubt that the former president is up to his old tricks, but I read the article and thought it was a waste of my time, just suspicions with no real substance. What has bothered me this whole campaign was Clinton's "outrage" over his wife's treatment, when he himself has never shown her an ounce of respect. No one has put her through the wringer like her husband!

SEE?..................... THATS EXACTLY WHY MOST PEOPLE DO NOT VOTE FOR HER, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH BILL, HE HAS ALREADY DONE HIS TERM, AND HE FAILED US! AND THAT IS WHY OBAMA DOESNT WANT TO PUT HER ON THE DREAM TICKET, BECAUSE HE WILL HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HIS BS! IF I WAS OBAMA I WOULDNT PUT HER ON MY TICKET EITHER.

THANKS,

A ONCE HILLARY SUPPORTER!

I agree. He is SLIME and he did it to help Obama. The nomination was stolen from Hillary. So sad.

Desperate people can do odd things....Let us forgive Bill Clinton for now. He has so many things to answer back home after the campaign. Hillary is going go blame him for her lost.... All the same, Hillary should not hit him too hard. They met a stronger candidate better than both of them as well as their puppet Ickes.

I'd be angry too if I had the (right wing/talk radio/gun/homophobia/religious zealot) nuts all tearing me down at every stop. The guy will be remembered as a great president someday, unlike the current incompetent occupant.

A writer for the Huffington Post, Mayhill Fowler, asked Clinton on Monday what he thought "about that hatchet job somebody did on you in Vanity Fair," according to a recording of the exchange posted on the Huffington Post's Web site.

Another example of biased reporting by Mayhill Fowler-Clinton.
She makes me bitter.

Who's calling who dishonest?

Ha Ha!!

Of course, it's all Obama's fault that Hillary lost and the biased media. Was the media so biased about Rev Wright..about "bitter" comments? They pretty much crucified him with that. Pleease Bill just be quiet and go away. I know that you and HIllary are just in shock that she lost and I'm trying to give you the benefit but when you blame Obama that's just too much.

Everytime Bill opens his mouth, he secures my decision to vote for Obama.

If Bill would have kept his hands to himself during his presidency, then this article would have been a big deal.

AS A FORMER PRESIDENT, BILL CLINTON IS SURROUNDED WITH SECRET SERVICE AGENTS AND AIDES AND OFTEN WITH CHELSEA. THIS SCUMBAG , RAT FROM VANITY FAIR IS SO FAR OUT IN ANOTHER PLANET , I CANT IMAGINE WHERE HE IS COMING FROM EXCEPT PERHAPS HIS OWN SELF INTEREST AND INCREASE THE FLAGGING MAGAZINE INDUSTRY.
WE DO NOT READ VANITY FAIR AND MANY OTHER MAGAZINES WE CAN GET EVERYTHING FROM NEWS TO ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION FASTER , UP TO THE MINUTE ON THE INTERNET.
THAT IS WHY MAGAZINES LIKE VANITY FAIR HAVE THEIR DAYS NUMBERED.

billy boy, you have changed!!!!!!!!!!! no one really cares if you are still out there seed sowing or what ever. you were always my hero and now you are not. wat up wit dat????????? you are an oppurtunist a panderer and a liar. unfortunatly, hillary followed your lead and it cost her the nomination. you can't fool us all.

The truth is I believe Bill, but the problem is that is what the Repubs have being waiting for to use on Hillary. Even if it is a lie, the moment people start to remember he cheats, they will not vote for Hillary.

And of course, all the vicious little Obamabots who, prior to this primary campaign, would have defended Clinton to the hilt, will now throw him under the bus with a tirade of abuse and innuendo....

With friends like you guys, who needs enemies.

Bill Clinton– a pain in the neck to the end. Fitting that this race ends the way it started– with another megalomaniacal rant from the most overrated Democratic president of all time.

I find this reporting to be disgusting. President Clinton has been the target of the media forever. The timing also is questioned. Why now?I will not buy a Vanity Fair magazine. Leave President Clinton alone.

Kindly Go home Clintons!

Hey Bill and Hillary,

Get ready for the michelle Obama video......:)

I love this.................what a circus to teh world the Dimocrats have proven themselves to be

Vote McCain or join the insane....

It sounds like Bill Clinton is describing himself.... Projection is a defense mechanism. And like so many of his answers to questions of his philandering or misbehaviors, he uses this method as truth... Nothing will quite compensate for his lack of candor and moral fiber.

GO Bill! stand by your man! OBAMA '08

Oops – there's that finger-shaking womanizer denying everything again.

I thought that crap was over in 1998.

PLEEZE NO MORE CLINTONS NEAR THE WHITEHOUSE !!!!!!!!

I'm sure the writer of the article being married to a former Clinton worker knows of what he speaks. For President Clinton to try and connect this to Senator Obama is way off path because I've heard that Senator Obama was mentioned in that same article in which some will call a negative light. President Clinton thought that he was talking to an everyday citizen when he was talking to the reporter – there is no telling what he has not been saying to everyday citizens.

President Obama,

Please, please, be careful you choose a VP you can trust ...in my mind that very very short list would include Colin Powell, Joe Biden, or Wesley Clark.

Mrs. Clinton say "now" she is ready to do "whatever it takes to put a democrat in the White house " N O W ?????????? Why didn't she start doing that by dropping out months ago. She did NOTHING TO HELP YOU !

Healing a political party is not as important as healing a country and a world .

Making an error here may obliterate all you have accomplished which has been spectacular and amazing.

You are not only our Candidate for change, but our only hope for restoration !

From a genuinely concerned 60 year old white male under $40K income with two eyes, two hands, two feet, and a burdened heart for America !

God Bless & Protect You, Mr. President

Sleazy? Dishonest? Where have I heard those words before?...Oh, yeah, that's what we all said about Bill Clinton when he was impeached for lying in office and accepting sexual favors from an intern.

I agree with President Clinton! Most of the media has relentlessly attacked the ENTIRE Clinton family during Hillary's ENTIRE campaign! That's okay, if Obama wins the nomination, there will be HELL TO PAY for this country! I am a 20 year old who is a VERY STRONG DEMOCRAT who will be voting Republican if Obama wins the nomination, because I believe that America CANNOT afford to go downhill with another UNEXPERIENCED, ALL TALK AND NO GAME politician who CANNOT get things accomplished! Can someone please name ONE thing Obama has done for the state of Illinois or the United States in general? Nope. That's what I thought!

HILLARY/MCCAIN '08!

Why don't he just let it be... he got popped for having relations with an intern in the White House. If he would do that, there is no reason to think he wouldn't hound dog it anywhere else.

This is the one and only reason Obama can not take Hillary as the VP. He's such a moron.

i've lost a tremendous amount of respect for clinton throughout the primary process. this article, whether true or false, doesn't damage his image as much as he has damaged it himself.

it's funny how Carter's legacy improved after his presidency, while clinton's legacy is diminishing.

It's kinda funny and ironic actually.

The guy writes an article about Clinton being angry, and then Clinton gets all angry trying to disprove the article which ends up proving it!

nasty old goat!!

What a surprise.

I get that Mr. Clinton is upset with the author of the VF article, what I cannot understand is his out of line attack on Obama and the entire media system. I think the media has been fair. and Obama has shown nothing but respect in his public remarks of the Clintons.

I notice people are wondering whether the Huffinton post reported identified herself, that is irrelevant, Clinton should not be talking this way about his party's candidate in public. and remember the bitter comments by Obama, I don't recall reporters being outraged about the secret typing of Obama's comments. Clintons should be treated the same, if they choose to have outbrusts in public, it is fair game.

kate

Are we supposed to believe that Monica was the one and only time he cheated?! Please. What is the deal with the the Clinton couple thinking that they can say whatever they want (aka lie) and the American people will just blinding listen and believe. It's ridiculous.

And another things... I really, REALLY don't care about the lives of the Clintons – they're fake, they manipulate and they are addicted to fame and power. The details don't matter anymore. Enough. I just want them to GO AWAY!

You go Bill!!

Yknow how I know this article is 100% TRUE? Two words:

Defamation lawsuit. If this was so agregious, where is his lawsuit? Same as Rogers Clemens. You don't wanna throw a lawsuit out there because when you do, people WILL start digging. And as before when Bill and Hillary Clinton said that it was a quote "right wing conspirarcy against her husband" when the Monica Lewinsky story broke, only later for him to finally admit that he infact DID have sexual relationships with that woman.

So give me a break to all these people trying to defend Bill Clinton. Yes, he has done charitable work. But doesn't mean you can cheat and/or flirt with other women while your wife is running for President.

What I find even MORE appauling, is women who support Hillary and know full well that her husband is a skirt chaser! How do you justify that?

In November Dick will be apologizing to his own party. Dick, along with Bush and Rove, have brought shame to the Republican Party and will be the main reason that McCain gets defeated.

Well if anyone is an expert on sleazy, lying, and scum then that would be Bill. I was questioning Obama after dumping his Reverend and Church, but given the Clintons as an alternate makes Obama look pretty goood. Bill's lashing out supports the report in Vantiy Fair.

What has happened to Bill Clinton. I think the Vanity Fair article was not based on sound journalism; it was a lot of rumor and innuendo. That said, to lose your cool, again, to a reporter, to blame Obama for the media’s coverage . . .that is preposterous. If Obama could control the media, I’m thinking the Rev. Wright story wouldn’t have been a story and the bitter comment would have barely aired. The MSM has been hard on both sides, why, ratings. All of this is great for them, not just the Clinton fodder.

don't get mad and attack back,bill.it makes you appear guilty,just like before."i did not have sex with that woman."

his denials sound familiar...remember..."I didn't have sex with that women." "And the vast right-wing conspiracy."

Bill is angry because his wife isn't winning.

bill clinton is king of the United states.. let 'em yell!

Face it...Clinton has lost his touch and lost the election for his wife.

my wife is a psychotherapist and said the same thing. the bubba does not fall far from the tree while gathering spots from a rolling stone...........

oh god, there he is.. wild bill at it again!

Slick Willy probably realizes he is getting old after his heart surgery and he is filling his remaining time with all the events he can. He has always thought of himself as greater than he really is.

Good for Bill!!! I'm glad he did it. That writer is a slimball if he wrote something with "anonymous" sources. I don't like Roland Martin, but he said it right yesterday when asked about this issue.

Vanity Fair is slimy journalism. POliticians should not be featured....leave those sorts of magazines for Celebrities.

there he is wikd bill at it again!

Awww, leave Bill alone. His ticker isn't what it used to be anymore. His wife just lost her bid to become President, they're blowing the whistle on his affairs, and he's getting older. He's going to have some outbursts from time to time. At least now, he'll be at their mansion.

I think the reporter should not have written this story without at least one source.

But let's face it. Bill Clinton has "issues".

ODE TO OBAMA

WHY’D HE TAKE HIS NAME OFF THE BALLOT

WHY’D HE START WEARING THE FLAG PIN AGAIN

WHY’D HE THROW HIS TYPICAL WHITE GRANDMOTHER UNDER THE BUS

WHY’D HE RESIGN FROM THE “UNITED” TRINITY CHURCH.. NOW AFTER 20 YEARS..

WHY’D HE SAY THAT SMALL TOWN AMERICA CLINGS TO THEIR FAITH AND GUNS DURING TOUGH TIMES

WHY’D HE APPOINT REV WRIGHT AS A SPIRITUAL ADVISOR TO HIS CAMPAIGN.. WHEN HE KNEW FULL WELL ABOUT HIS BELIEFS

WHY’D HE ABANDONED HIS DUTIES ON THE SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT OF AFGHANISTAN

WHY- BECAUSE HE IS A PHONEY BALONEY POLITICIAN, WITH A SLIVER TONGUE. IF HE WASN’T BLACK HE WOULD ALREADY BE BACK HOME IN CHICAGO.
