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.

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

Ha

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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, manipu
