Bill Clinton lent his political muscle to Democrat Alex Sink’s election campaign for the 13th congressional district of Florida, but to no avail. Sink wound up losing to her Rand Paul-supported Republican opponent, David Jolly, in what many analysts are calling a bellwether election for the impact of Obamacare on the 2014 election cycle.... Bill Clinton offered his support to Sink, recording a phone call that went out to local Democratic volunteers. The Huffington Post reports that over a half-dozen House Democrats also emailed fundraising appeals on Sink’s behalf....

Bill Clinton has really whore'd himself out this time -- surrounding himself with real prostitutes. Slick Willie probably had no clue ... but the women Bill posed with at an L.A. charity event Thursday night are two star hookers at the famed Nevada Bunny Ranch brothel. The brunette goes by Ava Adora and the blonde goes by Barbie Girl. According to her bio on the BR website, the blonde is very flexible and specializes in de-virginizing.

While Hillary Clinton spoke in Selma, Ala., to commemorate "Bloody Sunday," her husband was on a plane practicing politics all the same with Malcolm Smith, the Democratic minority leader of New York's state Senate who, a few days earlier, had publicly criticized the Clinton campaign. "He sat right in front of me," Smith later gushed to a Newsweek reporter. "We shared the food." Two months later, Smith endorsed Hillary instead of Barack Obama. He says a variety of factors influenced his decision but admits the flight with the former president didn't hurt. "He's going to go down as one of...

It sounds silly, but when "Hillary Clinton" is matched up against Sen. John McCain in a hypothetical presidential election, she loses by a single percentage point. But if pollsters refer to her as "Hillary Rodham Clinton," she trounces the Arizona Republican by 7 percentage points. According to an Opinion Research Corp poll conducted for CNN, which asked 506 adult Americans whom they preferred among potential 2008 presidential candidates, they chose Hillary Rodham Clinton to McCain by a 51 percent to 44 percent.

OTTAWA, September 22, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Opposition MP Belinda Stronach, the former Minister of Human Resources while the Liberal Government was in power, was quoted in the Toronto Star yesterday suggesting that women's groups which do not support abortion should not receive government funding.  Speaking of government funding for women's groups such as REAL Women Canada which are pro-life, Stronach said, "They should be rejected because they're anti-choice and they're also anti-equal rights. They don't support equality."The suggestion alienates a majority of Canadian women.  A Focus Canada poll conducted in October 2005 by Environics Research found that 64% of Canadian...

Hillary Clinton accepted a $13,000 contribution to her campaign war chests from the husband of supermodel Christie Brinkley, whose marriage collapsed amid revelations that he’d cheated on Christie with a teenager. Architect Peter Cook, who wed Brinkley in 1996, had a nearly yearlong affair with wannabe singer and former employee Diana Bianchi, now 19, and gave her gifts of money, jewelry and a car. Both Cook and Bianchi have confirmed the affair. Asked if she would return Cook’s donations, Clinton said: "I’ll have to look into it,” the New York Post reported. But aide Ann Lewis later said: "We do...

Former President Bill Clinton now enjoys a more favorable rating from Americans than does his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll. One major reason is the gender gap: Hillary Clinton has an image problem among men. The poll of 1,000 adults conducted in late June found that 59 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of Bill Clinton, 37 percent have an unfavorable opinion, and 4 percent have no opinion. Hillary Clinton's favorable rating is lower, at 51 percent, and 44 percent view her unfavorably. Therefore the net positive rating (the percentage favorable minus the...

The ultra-wealthy member of Canada's parliament, who switched from the Conservative to the Liberal party, told the Montreal Gazette that the rumors upset her and she doesn't know whether to laugh or cry about the global hullabaloo over her alleged role as Cinton's latest squeeze.

Because her husband takes no prisoners when confronting his political enemies, rivals for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination fear to take on Senator Hillary Clinton, now widely touted to be the candidate most likely to lead her party's ticket two years from now, a noted political guru says.According to political analyst Craig Crawford, that leaves just three potential rivals of the New York senator who can safely take the gloves off when dealing with her: former vice president Al Gore, failed 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry and his running mate John Edwards.Writing in the May 29 issue of "CQ Weekly,"...

Ex-president Bill Clinton said Saturday that global warming is a bigger threat to the future of America than terrorism. Speaking to the graduating class at University of Texas' Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, Clinton insisted: "Climate change is more remote than terror but a more profound threat to the future of the children and the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren I hope all of you have." Clinton explained: "It's the only thing we face today that has the power to remove the preconditions of civilized society." The theme is not a new one for the former president. Last September,...

The New York Times reports Sunday that the sweetheart deal comes "without great effort and at virtually no risk" for the former president.

Finally, Bill Clinton can joke about his past. The former president cracked up a meeting Wednesday, spicing up an otherwise dry, technical talk on the need for better coordination of global relief work. In the midst of touting the importance of creating infrastructure to deliver aid to the developing world, Clinton conceded it was hardly the most scintillating subject to which he's been linked. "To me, it's something I want to keep working on and I like working on it because it's not a particularly sexy topic. But I've already had enough headlines to last me five lifetimes," said Clinton,...

Although the Dubai ports controversy may be disappearing, questions linger about the role high-ranking United Arab Emirates officials played in supporting Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida in the years leading up to Sept. 11. In fact, some U.S. government reports suggest that the United States lost a clear opportunity to kill bin Laden because he was too close to U.A.E. officials traveling in his entourage – officials Clinton security adviser Richard Clarke may have thought were too important to harm. On Feb. 8, 1999, the Pentagon and the CIA were preparing a military strike on a luxury hunting camp in...

In Argentina, during the dark days, they called them "los desaparecidos," the disappeared. On April 10, 1996, Ron Brown was buried with full honors at Arlington National Cemetery and then joined his fellow desaparecidos. So thoroughly has Brown disappeared from view that the only articles I could find on Google News about the 10th anniversary of his death were those that I had written myself. What follows, unless new information breaks, is my last article on the subject. In it, I attempt to find the one scenario that makes sense of all the existing evidence. Although speculative in part, it...
