CURRENT affairs host Naomi Robson shared a shopping expedition and dinner with former US president Bill Clinton during the statesman's Melbourne stopover this week.
Robson was invited to join Mr Clinton at Taxi restaurant in Federation Square on Wednesday. They were introduced through a mutual friend.
The former president revealed he was a fan of Robson when he warmly greeted the top-rating host.
"He came up to me and said, 'Hi, I have been watching you on TV'," Robson said of their introduction.
"And I said, 'Hi, I have been watching you on TV today, too'.
"He said, 'You had a story tonight on heavy-set people. I really think that is a very important issue'.
"I was glad to get the seal of approval," Robson said.
Robson -- host of Channel 7's Today Tonight -- said obesity was one of many issues Mr Clinton was interested in discussing.
"He is an intelligent, impressive man -- as charming as you would expect," Robson said. "He is very interested in people and very concerned about the world and people around the world."
Robson, Mr Clinton and two of his travelling companions joined a party of 10 for dinner overlooking the Yarra.
Robson said she was stunned to find herself dining with one of the world's most powerful men.
"A really close friend who I met in London -- he lives in Canada now -- who I have known for about 20 years introduced us," she said.
"He (the friend) got in contact with me via our website. He said he was coming to Melbourne and suggested we catch up.
"He did not tell me he was travelling with Bill Clinton. He (the friend) phoned me up and said he was going out for dinner with a friend and asked if I wanted to come along.
"There were some very entertaining, intelligent, well-versed people, so many impressive people at the table -- obviously the president being one of them."
Before arriving at the restaurant, Mr Clinton, his two companions and Robson went on a shopping spree.
They strolled through the Southgate retail strip about 8.30pm, stopping at Kirra Gallery and Redrock Gallery. Both had been asked to stay open after hours to accommodate Mr Clinton.
Mr Clinton, an admirer of fine glassware, is believed to have spent almost $20,000 in a 20-minute splurge at Kirra. Dressed casually and wearing black-rimmed reading glasses, Mr Clinton admired several pieces, before buying a $10,000 tiger-striped vase and other items.
He posed for pictures with the gallery staff before crossing to browse in Redrock Gallery, where he was shown how to play a didgeridoo and discussed Aboriginal art.
The group then headed to Federation Square.
Mr Clinton was in town as part of the Global Business Forum.
Oh Hillary!!! I don't think your husband's lonely!
quite a looker that one
Somebody better tell Hillary.....
They've entered into the "agreement" phase of their marriage, and will quietly divorce once Hillary loses her bid for the presidency, and Bill will be hanging around with chicks like this.
Current affairs. ha! I guess so!
...for 'afters'...odds are he opted to offer Naomi close and personal instruction on playing the didgeridoo. What a load that might'a been...
Me, myself personally, I'd like to show her my Aboriginal etchings..
Must ask though, after dropping $20K for glassware, did he leave an appropriate tip after tucking in at supper?
..and while wearing his bravo-sierra "black-rimmed" reading glass's, I hope his Nibs did'na chaw his lip'n'gum raw in the manner of some country lawyer in summation..
He ainna neither...
OK, he's done almost everything and everyone down here. When are you taking him home?
What do you mean by after dinner??? Didnt you read the press account where Naomi lost her earring under the table and it took her twenty minutes to find it? Bill didnt seem to mind, he had a smile on the whole time.
It sure beats ice cream and strawberries!
I like to start out with a smooth opener, like:
'Hi, I have been watching you on TV'
It doesn't matter if you saw her on TV or not. Think like Machiavelli!
OK, you've thrown her a flattering curve, now go in for the kill. Be sure to follow up with something that makes her feel important, like this all-time winner:
'You had a story tonight on heavy-set people. I really think that is a very important issue'.
Do that and you'll be in like flynn! Trust me, I know what works...
Bill gets plenty of ice cream and strawberries and the other kind of dessert too. Btw, shes a fine looking specimen, as alot of aussie babes are.
Yes, we've got more than our fair share of good sorts down here.
Money isn't the only reason BJ keeps coming back...
Why? You think she gives a damn who the dirtbag is sleeping with? Just as long as it doesn't get headlines like, Mr. Clinton seen leaving Ms.Robsons flat at 8 this morning.
Mrs. Clinton is busy munching carpet somewhere anyway. And she doesn't want that to get out either.
Honest to God, I cannot imagine any woman thinking this letch was a decent man. And powerful? If a guy is an ass, does it matter?
One of the most disheartening things I've observe through life is the caliber of men women will sucker for, when fine decent men are out there looking. The message clearly seems to be, act like a lout and women will fall all over you.
Naomi! You might want to think about purchasing one of these. It's the Personal Armor System, Ground Troops (PASGT) with 13 layers of MIL-C-44050A Type II, 14oz/yd2 ballistic fiber Aranid KEVLAR 29. Designed to protect against small arms retribution from Hillary's hired Goons. I figure you for a size Small. (:^D)
what is a didgeridoo?
Right there in the restaurant?
i wonder what brand of cigar she prefers?
another notch in the belt for the rapist.
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
...with respects to Roger Miller, RIP.
