Silly Billy

There may only be one person who is more full of bull than Hillary. That would be her husband Bill. Together the Clinton's have cornered the BS market. So was anybody surprised when the magazine Vanity Fair announced that they were going to print an article about former President Bill Clinton's recent scandalous behaviour? I sure as hell wasn't. For the tabloids, the Clinton's are the gift that keeps on giving. The Vanity Fair story was summarized in the USA Today as follows; "Old friends and longtime aides are wringing their hands over Bill Clinton's post–White House escapades, from the dubious (and secretive) business associations to the media blowups that have bruised his wife's campaign, to the private-jetting around with a skirt-chasing, scandal-tinged posse. Some point to Clinton's medical traumas; others blame sheer selfishness, and the absence of anyone who can say "no." Exploring Clintonworld, the author asks if the former president will be consumed by his own worst self." Now of course former President Clinton is strongly denying the claims of the Vanity Fair piece, but what else have you come to expect from him? Bill Clinton is the quintessential "little boy who cried wolf". Are we to believe this time that Vanity Fair is the wolf? Is the Vanity Fair article really out of character given Bill Clinton's history? I guess that may depend on what "is" means.
