(CNN) -- Hillary Clinton's campaign has apologized for "inappropriate" language used by her husband in response to what it called an "outrageously unfair" article about the former president.

Bill and Hillary Clinton campaign in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Monday.

The article, by Vanity Fair magazine's national editor Todd Purdum, suggested that Bill Clinton's personality had changed since his 2004 heart bypass surgery and said that there were reports of Clinton "seeing a lot of women on the road."

Purdum quoted four anonymous former Clinton aides saying that another of his former assistants had conducted "what one of these aides called an intervention" about the reports of philandering.

A writer for the Huffington Post, Mayhill Fowler, asked Clinton on Monday what he thought "about that hatchet job somebody did on you in Vanity Fair," according to a recording of the exchange posted on the Huffington Post's Web site.

Listen to Bush call the reporter a "scumbag" »

"[He's] sleazy," Clinton responded. "He's a really dishonest reporter."

Suspect Todd Purdum's review of the Dog n Pony Show is quite accurate.

Clintons are the ultimate slimeballs.

You know what I am confused about....the Clinton had me convinced the media was a vast right-wing conspiracy and now the media is in the tank for Obama, the most left-wing Senator. I am just confused by all this spin.

I don't think anyone could say that was a "personality change" for billy.

Clinton must wanting to bang her head and shout, "How could I have lost this!"

She was the overwhelming favorite going in and won primaries in California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Florida, yet it meant nothing.

I'm glad though. I don't see how Osama bin Barack can win given the baggage he'll be carrying.

Gaack! What a horrid picture, LOL

Husband and I heard Slick’s rant on Rush and were both surprised at this ill-advised recklessness. And that’s saying something.

Just in time to remind the RATS about the 'good old' days!! Do they really need 4 more years of this.

Slick - who can't keep his pants zipped up & all the likely suspects doing a CYA about all the great things he's done.

Pretty funny - Slick calling someone a scumbag.. Like - it takes one to know one!!

That’s the point: CNN is so used to blaming everything on Bush, they put “Listen to Bush” in their own link title when clearly it was Flubba who called the reporter a scumbag!

And when you click on the “listen to Bush” link, it takes you to a Flubba video.

I didn’t know that scumbag had an alternative meaning until I heard about this on the radio today.

This article was an interesting read...

Probably just a few hits from FR and they realized something was up . . .

Did they issue an apology with the correction?

Oh, never mind.
