Bill says suit doesn't fit [Clinton's Harlem Honey?]

Former President Bill Clinton says there's no reason he should be questioned in a lawsuit by a Harlem librarian who says she was defamed in the novel "Primary Colors." Daria Carter-Clark wants to depose Clinton as part of her $100 million lawsuit against Random House and author Joe Klein, who penned the book anonymously.

Clinton visited the Harlem library where Carter-Clark heads the adult-literacy program during a 1991 campaign stop.

In the opening chapter of "Primary Colors," a Clintonesque candidate has sex with a Harlem librarian after a campaign stop.

Carter-Clark claims the character is based on her and that it caused her humiliation and embarrassment.

She's probably the only paramour linked to Clinton that finds the suggestion embarrasing. Most seem to treat it as a trophy. Don't know why.

Sounds like another golddigger trying to get rich off of somebody else's work.

Bill should rethink this one. If she, the librarian, wins her suit Hillary would have an endless amount of campaign contributions from the "victim" and the Clinton librarycould collect a few millions.

This sounds remarkably like the opening of the Paula Jones case.
One of the Arkansas State Troopers who told a magazine about the original incident (gov billy exposing himself to Ms. Jones) said the female in question asked to become one of the gov's regular . . . um . . . regulars.
Paula Jones read it, realized the trooper was talking about her, realized that others familiar with the incident would read it and assume she had lied to them about not cooperating, and sued to clear her name.

Be interesting to see how this one turns out.

Unfortunately,it's going to continue for at least another 25-30 years before 'all the damage to our nation ' is realized.
