Former U.S. President Bill Clinton speaks during a news conference, at the Clinton Foundation headquarters in New York, July 17 2008. The Former President unveiled a deal with six Chinese and Indian companies to cut a key malaria drug price by a third and slash the price volatility of a vital ingredient by 70 percent. Artemisinin-based combination therapies, or ACT drugs, are recommended by the World Health Organization because of growing resistance to older treatments such as chloroquine. In this March 27, 1998 file photo, South African President Nelson Mandela, foreground, and U.S. President Bill Clinton peer out from Section...

Former President Bill Clinton called for Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe to step down immediately or form a power-sharing arrangement with his chief opponent. The former presidentcalled Mugabe "a puppet of the military establishment" and singled out a Washington Post story that exposed coercion, intimidation, beatings and profession killings by the ruling-party s militias. The crisis in Zimbabwe was the main focus of a public one-on-one interview tonight with Jane Wales, a former Clinton advisor and current Aspen Institute vice president of philanthropy and society, at the annual Aspen Ideas Festival.

It now has been four years since Dr. William Graham, Science Advisor to President Ronald W. Reagan and Chairman of the General Advisory Committee on Arms Control and Disarmament, and a distinguished panel completed a study of High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and its potential effects upon this country. The conclusions of this study are the most frightening I have seen concerning modern-day threats. Few have heard of it because the report has yet to be made public. The reason it has not been made public is simple: if EMP were understood by the American people, the next logical question...

Bill Clinton is so bitter about Barack Obama's victory over his wife Hillary that he has told friends the Democratic nominee will have to beg for his wholehearted support.

District police are warning people in the Grover Park and Cleveland Park neighborhoods to make sure their doors and windows at night after investigators linked three sexual assaults in the past two months. Police say women were attacked May 16, May 25 and June 26 in Northwest. Investigators say in each incident, a woman was awakened early in the morning by a man who got into their homes by unknown methods. The first incident happened in the 2400 block of Huidekoper Place, the second in the 3000 block of Newark Street and the third happened in the 2400 block of...

Ex President Bill Clinton missing for some time since skipping on a lecture in Scotland has been found. A Canadian newspaper found Bubba holding hands with a new friend. (Picture Included)

President Bill Clinton frowns as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY, addresses supporters at the National Building Museum in Washington Saturday, June 7, 2008.

Bill Clinton will be a no show for a speech in Scotland this week. The Aberdeen officials have their panties in a bind over a solution for Bubba’s no show.

In selling his economic plan, President Clinton is gambling that voters never took seriously his campaign promise to lower the tax burden of the middle class and will respond favorably to an aggressive pitch based on equal measures of hope, fear and class revenge.

HAVANA (CBS4) ― Eight years after a headline making international custody fight which ended with his return to his father in Cuba, Elian Gonzalez has joined Cuba's Young Communist Union. In an article in Cuba's communist youth newspaper, Juventud Rebelde, the 14-year old Gonzalez said he would never let ex-President Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro down. He joined more than 18-thousand others who joined the group on Saturday. In 2000, Gonzalez' mother was killed when a boat carrying them to the U.S. capsized in the Florida Straits. Elian, who was 6 years old at the time..........."

Excerpt - Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones are teaming up on a Web site to remind Bill Clinton they're still around. They met recently while appearing together on Geraldo Rivera's Fox show "and really hit it off 'cause we had so much in common," Flowers, Clinton's former mistress, said in an e-mail on Friday. Both have been "vilified" over the years, Flowers said, and "we have both agreed that it's a shame that more of the 'Clinton Women' didn't get together long ago. There could have been strength in numbers! For now, it's me and Paula." The Web site address...

No matter what November brings, Barack Obama has managed to accomplish something no Republican has done since 1980: He has wrung a concession speech out of the Clintons. Clintonite dead-enders may never forgive him for it. As Hillary Rodham Clinton suspended her presidential campaign and pledged to back the man who defeated her in the Democratic delegate race, there was a smattering of boos the first time Obama's name was mentioned. Nevertheless, Hillary intoned, "I endorse him, and throw my full support behind him. And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama...

Check out Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones chatting to one another. I'm not affiliated with the site and haven't paid them their money but others at FR might be interested to hear what these ladies have to say. The link is TWO CHICKS CHATTING

CNN) -- Actress Gina Gershon is demanding a retraction from Vanity Fair after the magazine reported "high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip" that former President Clinton "has been seen visiting" her in California. The lengthy article by the magazine's national editor, Todd Purdum, mentioned the actress along with several other women rumored to be associated with Clinton, all anonymously sourced. "Todd Purdum's insinuation is a lie, and it is irresponsible journalism," said Gershon's publicist, Mara Buxbaum. "We are demanding a retraction." A letter sent by Gershon's attorneys to Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter, obtained by CNN, demanded a published correction and retraction...

NEW YORK: In an embarrassment to presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton’s despondent campaign, an article has claimed that the aides of her husband, former President Bill Clinton, believe his 2004 heart surgery fundamentally altered his state of mind and that he is constantly in rage. The article to be published in Vanity Fair, and already posted on the magazine’s website also questions some of Clinton’s business dealings and behaviour since leaving the White House. “Old friends and longtime aides are wringing their hands over Bill Clinton’s postWhite House escapades, from the dubious (and secretive ) business associations to the media blowups...

<p>Latest From Behind The Scenes At TV Networks…. “What The F___”</p> <p>Just off the phones with old friends and fiends at the networks. Here is the latest as they see it, although as show producers and assignment editors wrap up morning meetings at this hour, there are still many unanswered questions about the direction of the Dem nominating process, ie: What will Hillary do?</p>

There's a great moment at the beginning of the video clip here in which WaPo editorial writer Jonathan Capehart dithers, then palpably decides to bite the bullet and tell the truth: yeah, the media's in the tank for Obama. His admission against interest came in response to a question from Pat Buchanan on today's Morning Joe. --snip-- JONATHAN CAPEHART: Well, you know, Pat, I think, um, that, eh, yeah. I think there is some truth to [Bill Clinton's] bitterness. Um, you know, it's hard to, let's remember: reporters are human. And reporters are covering both these campaigns. And it's hard...

Can't link or post any excerpts. Google "The Comeback Id"....somebody's sandbagging the Toons! From what I've read so far, it's only appropriate this comes out at the same time as "Sex and the City"!

The “Comeback Kid” has transformed to the Fade-away Fool. Bill Clinton has lost his luster with the MSM and Liberals. The “First Black President” is experiencing a scathing tell-all article written by Dee Dee Myers’ husband Todd Purdum. Dee Dee was Bill Clinton’s first Press Secretary when Bill could do no wrong. Now the Liberal Media has a new “fair haired boy” with Barack Obama. The Clintons will be thrown off to the side of the road with no fear of retribution. Bill and Hillary have lost their power in the Democrat Party with her waning candidacy for President.

I heard a story on Fox News that members of Clinton inner circle had planned an 'intervention' with Bill Clinton and he was not happy with it. It was supposed to have been taken place because of his lifestyle on the road and the many 'encounters' with women. Allegedly, the situation was becoming dangerous. I think we should all remember that a story like this never gets out unless the Clinton machine wants it out. In my opinion, the Clinton machine is going for the ultimate 'pity party' for Hillary to boost her chances for nomination. They are so desperate...

Bill Clinton’s enemies list? By: Kenneth P. Vogel May 30, 2008 07:26 PM EST Listen to audio of Bill Clinton's conference call below. With Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on the verge of defeat, Bill Clinton has been placing blame on enemies including a brazenly biased media that tried to suppress blue-collar votes, a deep-pocketed anti-war group that endorsed rival Barack Obama and weak-willed party leaders unable to stand up to either of these nefarious forces. Pieced together from the former president’s public remarks at his wife’s campaign events and a private conversation last week with top donors to her campaign,...

With Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on the verge of defeat, Bill Clinton has been placing blame on enemies including a brazenly biased media that tried to suppress blue-collar votes, a deep-pocketed anti-war group that endorsed rival Barack Obama and weak-willed party leaders unable to stand up to either of these nefarious forces. Pieced together from the former president’s public remarks at his wife’s campaign events and a private conversation last week with top donors to her campaign, the theory goes something like this: After Hillary recovered from a string of losses to rival Barack Obama with March 4 wins in...

"I can't believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out," Clinton said at a South Dakota campaign stop Sunday, in remarks first reported by ABC News. Clinton also suggested some were trying to "cover up" Sen. Clinton's chances of winning in key states that Democrats will have to win in the general election. " 'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to...

... " 'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.' " Clinton did not expound on who he was accusing. Watch Clinton talk about the "cover up." » -- "If you notice, there hasn't been a lot of publicity on these polls I just told you about," he said. "It is the first time you've heard it? Why do you think that is? Why do you think? Don't you think if the polls were...

Manipal, India — Thanks largely to India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who shared with his leftwing British friends a dislike of the Yanks, the geopolitically senseless alienation between the United States and India continued for five decades after India's independence in 1947. What seems finally to have convinced the British to leave India was the seepage of loyalty from the Indian component of the armed forces. More than 2 million Indians saw action on the Allied side during World War II. Yet during the war, their loyalty to the Crown was tested by the discriminatory treatment meted out to...

Say what you want about Bill Clinton...the guy doesn't hold back. That was the case again during his recent interview with People magazine. Yeas & Nays has obtained an advanced copy of the June 2 issue (on stands this Friday) and here's what the former prez has to say: -Hillary Clinton's been "outspent, dismissed, denigrated, declared dead." -"I think most of the press people are in Obama's demographic. ... There have been times when I thought I was literally lost in a fun house." -On how he and Hillary will unite the party once a Democratic nominee has been chosen:...

The report, in Spanish, basically states that Her Excellency will be traveling to the Island soon, prior to their June 1st primary (63 delegates at stake).

When things couldn't be looking worse for Sen. Hillary Clinton's bid for the presidency in 2008, as her rival Barack Obama closes in on gaining enough delegates to secure the nomination, the former first lady attended a church service in Bowling Green, Ky., Sunday featuring a sermon about lust and adultery. The hour-long sermon focused on the sin of committing adultery -– as outlined in Mathew 5:27-32. Clinton, D-N.Y., has often said her faith pulled her through the difficult time when her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Paul Fryman of the...

She can't win. The pundits say it. The polls say it. The math says it. It's even the word on the street. If Huggy Bear from "Starsky and Hutch" were around, he'd say it's time to stick a fork in her. So why does she keep going? One theory is psychological, almost Aesopian. Hillary Clinton - like her husband - is a creature who follows her nature. Scorpions must sting. Ants must save food for winter. Clintons must fight. Bill Clinton illustrated Clinton grit when he confronted Newt Gingrich during the government shutdown of the mid-'90s. "Do you know who...

Hillary Clinton plans a campaign visit to Puerto Rico in late May, and may even stop by the island before that, according to her guy in Puerto Rico, Roberto Prats. Chelsea is on the island right now, as is Michelle Obama.

I think he meant it as a compliment. But Bill Clinton's praise for his wife should send chills down the spine of people who like to live their own lives, thank you very much. And it reinforces the image of Hillary as a big-government busybody, an It Takes a Villager, a smarty-pantssuit who wants to lean over your shoulder and kibitz on every decision you make. Bill made his comments while campaigning recently for Hillary in West Virginia. If he had made the remark once, it might be written off as a slip of the tongue. But as per this...

In black America, oh, how the mighty have fallen. Bill Clinton is no longer revered as the "first black president." Tavis Smiley's rapid-fire commentaries on a popular radio show have been silenced. And the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., self-described defender of the black church, has been derided by many on the Web as an old man who needs to "step off." They all landed in the black community's doghouse after being viewed as endangering Sen. Barack Obama's chances of being elected president. And the community's desire to protect the first African American ever to be in this position may...

Is it the province of a "correspondent" of an ostensibly objective network to proclaim the tactics of a presidential candidate "inappropriate"? Apparently so, when the network is MSNBC and the correspondent David Shuster. The frequent sidekick to Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann got into it with Pat Buchanan on today's Morning Joe. Shuster spoke out against Hillary's rough-'n-tumble end-game tactics, while a feisty Buchanan defended Clinton's right to go down swinging. Shuster sounded less the reporter and more the DNC member concerned about damage to the party's presumptive presidential candidate. When Mike Barnicle got into the act, he wanted to...

ONE DOWN, TWO TO GOMay 7, 2008 Well, it looks like it's the end of the road for Hillary. Time for her to pack up her pantsuits and go back to ... wherever it is she's pretending to be living these days. Now we just have to get rid of the other two. Perhaps if I endorse Obama ... This week, Bill Clinton lost his second presidential election for a protege. Ronald Reagan was so popular, he not only won a 49-state landslide re-election for himself, but he also won a symbolic third term for his boob of a vice...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Clinton excluded nearly $24 million of her husband's earnings from Senate financial statements from 2004 through 2006, capitalizing on rules that permit senators to limit disclosures of some of their spouses' income. Her decision, while fully consistent with Senate rules and norms, delayed the release of financial information about former President Clinton's soaring income until the couple released their tax returns in early April, under pressure from Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama. By then, about 40 states had completed their Democratic primaries and caucuses, meaning that those voters didn't get a clear look at Bill Clinton's...

Hillary Clinton will have nightmares about her botched run for the presidency; it'll be worse for Bill Clinton. Clinton's impressive Pennsylvania primary victory exposed Barack Obama's general-election vulnerabilities. However, there is nothing to suggest Clinton would be a stronger nominee. Thus, Obama remains the clear favorite to win the nomination, and the New York senator's painful legacy, in the most important professional endeavor of her life, will have been picking the wrong people and putting together a deeply flawed campaign. In time she will have fresh opportunities; perhaps a Senate leadership role, or she may emulate Edward M. Kennedy as...

Democratic Party leaders claim to care about the little guy. They also claim to be champions of minorities. Neither of those assertions is true. I will prove it to you with a couple of case studies. Recently, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a major supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic Party presidential nomination over Barack Hussein Obama, gave a speech at the Buffalo Museum of Science. He talked about joblessness – a hot topic in Buffalo. If you have visited Buffalo recently, you know it is a severely depressed metropolitan area. It is depressingly depressed – with...

WASHINGTON (CNN) –- Former President Bill Clinton will attend Sunday church services with North Carolina Congressman and uncommitted Democratic superdelegate Heath Shuler in his district, CNN has learned.

John Hawkins of Conservative Grapevine and Right Wing News hit the nail on the head with his article:"Stop Apologizing for Being American". He explores the plethora of reasons why liberals bash America and whine about the history of our nation. It amazes me how we’ve got “people” in our country (Michael Moore, everyone on The View with the exception of Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Harry Reid etc) who insist that this nation has done so much harm to the world that they can barely stand to live in it. Yet, these are the same people that insist on...

Joe Andrew, former Chairman of the DNC threw his support behind Obama. This is of course after he threw his support behind Hillary. One thing you’ve got to admire is the consistency of liberals. They always enjoy voting for something prior to voting against it. Andrew cites a number of reasons as to why Obama is the “right” choice. He goes on to wonder “how the world would be different if Al Gore and not George Bush, would have been President of the United States.” Well for starters we would have let Al-Qaeda get away with 9-11, and we would...

History may record primary day in Pennsylvania as the day Bill Clinton officially became the most tragic figure of the 2008 campaign. As voters headed to the polls to place another comeback in Hillary's hands, her spouse was getting himself into trouble, yet again. When a reporter asked the former president to explain why he felt Barack Obama's campaign had "played the race card" on him in South Carolina, Clinton was wrathfully indignant, denying he'd ever said such a thing. (Never mind the interview he'd given on a Philadelphia NPR station the day before saying exactly those words.)

...As evidence of Mr. Clinton's impact, the campaign cites the Pennsylvania primary, which Sen. Clinton won by a margin of nearly 10 percentage points over Sen. Obama. Campaign data show that Sen. Clinton won by huge margins in several rural counties that her husband visited: 44 percentage points in Armstrong County, 44 points in Cambria County, 48 points in Carbon County and 50 points in Greene County. This compares with an edge of 26 points for Hillary among rural voters statewide. In Bucks County, a Philadelphia suburb that Mr. Clinton visited, Sen. Clinton won by 26 points, compared with only...

Excerpt - HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. -- Bill Clinton, who called himself the "comeback kid" during his first presidential run, is pulling out all the stops for Hillary Clinton's comeback. His relentless approach to battling Barack Obama -- on the trail and inside the campaign -- is becoming key to Sen. Clinton's newfound success, as she has won four of the last six primaries. She still faces long odds in her quest to overtake Sen. Obama on the road to the Democratic Party's nomination. Dubbed the "Billification" of Sen. Clinton's campaign by some insiders, Mr. Clinton has become something of a strategist-in-chief...
