J.K. Trotter · 02/05/14 05:35PMToday RadarOnline published an audio recording in which (someone who sounds like) 52-year-old actor Tom Sizemore can be heard boasting about how, in 1998, former President Bill Clinton arranged for the English model Elizabeth Hurley to fly to Washington, D.C. and have sex (with President Bill Clinton):

Bill Clinton Wants You to Know He's Hip to "Two Girls, One Cup"
John Cook · 09/24/13 05:04PMBill Clinton’s Body Man Is a Pathetic, Greedy Grifter
J.K. Trotter · 09/23/13 03:46PMYesterday, The New Republic published a mammoth profile of Doug Band, Bill Clinton's longtime body man and all-purpose Clintonland gatekeeper, a 40-year-old Floridian-turned-New Yorker with a taste for luxury. Senior writer Alec MacGillis describes how Band, from his toehold as a gofer and coat-holder, shamelessly traded on his access to the former President to amass millions of dollars, an enormous Manhattan apartment, and cushy appointments on corporate boards. The piece documents and perhaps implements the rest of the Clinton family's desire, after all these years, to get him out—presumably before he can damage Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential prospects.
Clinton Mistress Backing Hillary, Selling Hillary-Is-a-Lesbian Rumors
J.K. Trotter · 09/19/13 12:16PMBill Clinton's mistress is back! No, not that one—or that one. The other one! Gennifer Flowers has a new internet column, and to promote it she's there in the Daily Mail, the only appropriate outlet, giving away some ancient Hillary-is-a-lesbian "gems" and endorsing the de facto Democratic candidate for president:
What’s This Times Piece About the Clintons Saying?
J.K. Trotter · 08/14/13 05:50PMEarly this morning, the New York Times unveiled a 2,878-word, A1 investigation into the Clinton Foundation, the eponymous philanthropic arm of the Clinton family’s equally unquenchable ambitions. “PAPER TAKES DOWN CLINTON FOUNDATION,” Drudge trumpeted; “devastating,” The Telegraph gasped. Uh, but: the piece doesn’t seem to have much of a point. Is the Times trying to say something it can’t print?

Nitasha Tiku · 04/26/13 12:56PMBillionaire Marc Lasry made a number of friends during his time as cofounder and CEO of the hedge fund Avenue Capital Group. In fact, it was his close buddy Bill Clinton who let it slip that Lasry was President Obama's top choice for ambassador to France. A token of Obama's appreciation for helping to raise nearly $1 million for his re-election, perhaps?
In Choose Your Own Adventure Game at Bush's Library, He Always Wins
Maggie Lange · 04/25/13 11:43AMGeorge W. Bush's presidential center will be dedicated today in Dallas, Texas. It's the biggest and most expensive presidential center yet—at 226,560 square feet and a price tag of $250 million. All five living U.S. presidents were there to honor number 43; Bill Clinton even went so far as to mention in his speech that he wanted Bush to paint his portrait.
Did a Fashion-CEO Friend of Bill Clinton Give His Match.com Date Herpes?
Adam Weinstein · 04/05/13 09:25AMIt's a story as old as love: You meet a gorgeous guy online who regales you with stories about his pal Bill Clinton over drinks at the Surrey Hotel. Heady with glee, you accompany this former CEO to the live jazz scene at the Carlyle. Roses, a driver, the whole she-bang. Date number two caps a lovely dinner with the Grammys back at your pad, and yeah, maybe you go back to his amazing apartment and agree to a little barebacking. A couple weeks later, instead of taking Paris together, you're alone with all of the penicillin.
Cowardice As a Political Philosophy
Hamilton Nolan · 03/26/13 11:19AMThe tenth anniversary of the Iraq War was marked by a procession of mostly liberal pundits solemnly apologizing for supporting the ill-fated invasion in the first place. As the issue of gay marriage goes in front of the Supreme Court, we're treated to the sight of the former president who signed the Defense of Marriage Act arguing that it should be overturned. Let's talk about what courage and cowardice in politics really mean.
Gennifer Flowers Now Looks Like Dolly Parton
Rich Juzwiak · 03/20/13 04:45PMWhere Are They Now? is kind of like OWN's version of a TLC freak show except the freaks who detail their lives in inevitably fascinating babble are people whose notoriety Oprah Winfrey helped facilitate. (Never forget that OWN is owned by O.) Or at least, they are people formerly of note. Such was the case on last night's episode featuring Gennifer Flowers, the woman who claimed to have an affair with Bill Clinton during his first run for office in 1992. She claims that Star magazine came to her with knowledge of her involvement, which caused her to announce it to the public.
