The Washington Post Hints That Clinton Has a Girlfriend

The Washington Post today follows up the Times frontpager on the Clinton marriage with a column by veteran political commentator David Broder, titled “The Shadow of a Marriage,” in which Broder hints that Bill Clinton has a girlfriend. He does so in a passage that critiques the Times piece:

It touched only lightly on the former president’s friendship with Canadian politician Belinda Stronach.

Then Broder says that the character of the Clinton marriage is the “elephant in the room” with Senator Clinton—and thus, fair game in the political process.

I genuinely wish the Clintons luck on this one. I’m never going to vote for Hillary (too much blood under the bridge). But aren’t we sick of the prurience? And isn’t there a freedom in their choices of which others are envious? Maybe we can all learn from their experience.

    Greetings in the Name of the Lord! I'm no Bill Clinton fan but I believe the Post (the scummy paper it is)left that little tidbit out there for for someone to grab and grab you did. Where on God's green earth are you going with this? Enough is enough, if all you can do is gossip.

    This is news?

    Who cares? Bill Clinton has had his 15 minutes of fame. Hillary will soon follow him into oblivion.

    Yet they fail to report on the male hooker sleeping over at the White House numerous times.

    The claims of a "Liberal Media" get more outrageous every day!!

    Is this really neccesary? I don't think so… or is there any other intentions hidding in your gossip?

    "The press is putting everyone on notice that they are going to keep their noses firmly buried in Hillary Clinton's panty drawer for the next two years. Brodercomes right out and admits that the press is laying down the gauntlet: if Hillary runs, the Washington Press Corps is going to treat her like a whore. A frigid whore, of course, but a whore nonetheless. No games, no pretense. They are primed and cocked for a full-on Clenis porn-fest. It's clear they are desperate for it."Atrios
    This is a damn shame, but then again why write about corruption in the bush administration. A war based on lies. Political corruption in the republican House. Nope! Got to be about the most powerful penis in the world that belongs to Willaim Jefferson Clinton. The last great American President.

    Oh shut UP. Who the hell cares? Get your big nose out of Clinton's crotch, for the love of Christ. If his wife puts up with him, why does anybody else care? Their arrangement is not perverted. It may not be ideal for many but it isn't against the law.
