Starr vs. Clinton Revisited: Ruined Lives and Wasted Times
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyThe 1994 scene from Bill Clinton's first trip to Russia is etched in my memory. As the bedraggled White House press corps staggered into Moscow's Metropol Hotel shortly before dawn after a midnight stopover in Kiev, Clinton press aides greeted reporters with these cheery instructions: "Check-in to the left, Whitewater statements to the right." It seemed bizarre at the time that a domestic political scandal like Whitewater -- a small-time Arkansas land deal gone bad -- would dominate a presidential trip that cemented agreements with Ukraine and Belarus to relinquish the nuclear weapons they ...
Monica Lewinsky Tells Author of Impeachment Book that Bill Clinton Lied to the Grand Jury
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyIn a scholarly book soon to be published on the 1990s presidential impeachment saga, Monica Lewinsky is quoted as saying that former President William Jefferson Clinton committed perjury before the Whitewater grand jury while testifying about their physical relationship. Clinton's convoluted testimony has, for a decade, been the frequent source of lampooning. His "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" has entered the lexicon as an example of male obfuscation. His parsing of a judge's language in his sexual harassment case led the then-president to assert with a straight face that when ...
Emily's Post: From Gossip Fodder to Gossip Columnist
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyHaving been fodder for every gossip column in town, starting today I'm turning the tables -- and becoming one D.C. gossip columnist who fully gets what it's like to be on the receiving end. Everybody knows Washington politics is not for the meek or thin-skinned. And I've lived, worked and loved D.C. politics and media since I was 18 years old. In the years since, I've toiled on the Hill, at the State Department, in the Bush 43 administration, and for the Washington bureaus of two TV network news divisions. I've also counted chads in the Florida recount, run for my life from the Capitol on ...
Ranking the Rank: Clemens - McCready Affair
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsNothing like a slew of spicy allegations to really rev up the Monday morning, especially when they pertain to Roger Clemens. We've got everything from envelopes of cash to partying with Monica Lewinsky. But how do these allegations sort out in the sordid spectrum of celebrity society? Ranking the Rank finds out.5. FedEx envelopes full of cash -- Nothing really illegal about this one, although the immoral factor is pretty high if the money is being shipped to a mistress - celebrity type. Still, Rocket. You're ridiculously rich, man. Hire a real courier. Or write a check. It's just as traceable ...
What Other Shenanigans Was Roger Clemens Up to in the 1990's?
By Josh Alper - AOL NewsThis morning's revelation of Roger Clemens's alleged affair with an underage Mindy McCready certainly got the week off to an entertaining start. Beyond Clemens's alleged infidelity, the fact that the couple is rumored to have spent time partying with Monica Lewinsky and Michael Jordan, two of the biggest pop cultural icons of the 1990's, is pretty interesting as well. They weren't just hanging out nearby, either.McCready, according to a source, even bummed a cigar off His Airness to give to Clemens. At least she didn't bum it from Lewinsky. God knows that wouldn't have been sanitary. All of ...
Roger Clemens Partied With 1990's Finest
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsWhen you're Roger Clemens, and you're (allegedly!) in love with then-15-year-old country music star Mindy McCready, you spare no expense. Impressing 15-year-olds isn't easy; it's always "I'm fat" this, and "my lack of self-doubt is crippling" that. You've got to keep them moving, man! Keep them engaged! Keep them ... partying with Monica Lewinsky! Sources say that when McCready, now 32, and Clemens were together, there was barely any friction between them. The two were known to take lavish trips to Las Vegas and New York. One time, McCready attended a Yankees game at the Stadium and jokingly ...
Can't Win
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThe race for the White House has turned increasingly speculative. We've ditched all policy questions at the side of the road in favor of idyll musing as to which candidate has the best, or worst, chance of actually winning. The substantive reasons why John McCain, Barack Obama, or Hillary Clinton should win or lose have happily been traded in for whatever is handy and effective. Global food shortage? Who cares when we've got lapel pins? What matters, you see, is that we opinionators craft what sounds like a plausible reason why the person we happen to dislike is going to go down in flames. A ...
Chelsea's Code of Silence Is Deadly Serious
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Daily News reports that audience members at campuses on Chelsea Clinton's campaign tour continue to ask her about the Lewinsky case, with gratifying results: Many in the crowd at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., booed Monday when a question about the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton came up. Chelsea Clinton quickly summed up her position: "If that's what you want to vote on, that's what you should vote on. But I think there are other people (who are) going to vote on things like health care and economics," she said. Chelsea has been cool and poised in responding ...
Chelsea Under Monica Assault on Trail
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs reported here last week, Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Senator Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, rebuffed an audience member at a campus Q&A when he got a lot too personal. Now, she has been asked again to comment on the Monica Lewinsky controversy, again by a voter at a North Carolina State University Q&A. Wonkette's take?Everyone should ask Chelsea Clinton about Monica Lewinsky at every possible opportunity. Chelsea is like 45 years old now - 24 years older than Monica Lewinsky will ever be! America's favorite brace-face can handle it.How very "Best Week Ever" of them. ...
Chelsea Fends Off 'Strange' Question
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Associated Press is reporting that Evan Strange, a college student who got a little too personal at a Q & A session with Chelsea Clinton, says he is a Hillary supporter:"I'm a supporter of Hillary. I love Hillary," Strange said Wednesday on CBS' "The Early Show." He said he asked the question because his friends "always bring up that scandal. It's not something I asked to cause trouble but to show those people what makes Hillary so strong."In his defense, he could hardly be expected to have anything but a "Strange" way of showing his support for Senator Clinton.What we have here, then, is ...
