The Washington Post today follows up the Times frontpager on the Clinton marriage with a column by veteran political commentator David Broder, titled "The Shadow of a Marriage," in which Broder hints that Bill Clinton has a girlfriend. He does so in a passage that critiques the Times piece: It touched only lightly on the former president's friendship with Canadian politician Belinda Stronach. Then Broder says that the character of the Clinton marriage is the "elephant in the room" with Senator Clinton—and thus, fair game in the political process. I genuinely wish the Clintons luck on this one. I'm never...

MURDOCH TO HOST FUNDRAISER FOR HILLARY CLINTON Mon May 08 2006 18:25:16 ET Rupert Murdoch has agreed to host a political fundraiser for Hillary Clinton this summer! Murdoch's surprise decision to raise money for Clinton in July, on behalf of NEWS CORP., parent company of FOXNEWS and the NEW YORK POST, underlines a dramatic turn of relations between Murdoch and Clinton, who in 1998 coined the phrase “vast rightwing conspiracy” to denounce critics of her husband. Some say the move by Murdoch reflects approval of her Senate career. Others note his record for picking future national leaders. Last century, he...

LOS ANGELES, May 2 (UPI) -- ABC TV has put an abrupt term limit on its freshman drama, "Commander in Chief." The network Tuesday announced it was pulling the Geena Davis series for the rest of May sweeps and running the newsmagazine "Primetime" in its 10 p.m. Thursday slot for the final three weeks of the season, Zap2it.com reported.

2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is telling upstate New Yorkers that the reason she hasn't delivered on her 2000 campaign promise to create 200,000 new jobs for the region is because Republicans control the federal government. Asked about her jobs failure, Mrs. Clinton told the Syracuse Post-Standard: "I didn't have the benefit of a Democratic Congress. But I think given the fact that that wasn't the environment that I'd hoped for, we've seen some progress."

Depending on whom you talk to in Hollywood these days, Hillary Clinton is either too conservative, too polarizing, too famous, too stiff or — keep this to yourself! — too sexy. And those are just the opinions of the celebrities who vote Democrat. (Don't even ask what the few Republicans had to say.)

A galaxy of Hollywood stars, including Paul Newman, Reese Witherspoon, and Nancy Sinatra, have donated thousands of dollars to Senator Hillary Clinton's political campaign. Clinton, who is fundraising for the Democratic party, intends to use the money, which now stands at an impressive $17.1 million, for a presidential bid. Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward both donated $2,000, while Witherspoon gave $1,000 alongside Edie Falco and Danny DeVito, according to the New York Post. Chat-show host Jerry Springer gave the most to the cause - $4,200 - while Sinatra gave a modest $200.

Others included Terry Lenzner, founder and chairman of the powerful Washington detective firm Investigative Group International, and...

Clinton to support Alito filibuster Says she’ll join Sen.

Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday announced she'll join potential 2008 presidential rival John Kerry in voting to filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, just as top Democratic leaders predicted the effort is likely doomed.

Hillary Clinton should not count on help from Hollywood mogul David Geffen in her possible run for the White House. Geffen, who was a generous supporter and pal of Bill Clinton when he was president, trashed Hillary's prospects last night during a Q&A at the 92nd St. Y in New York City. "She can't win, and she's an incredibly polarizing figure," the billionaire Democrat told his audience. "And ambition is just not a good enough reason." Lloyd Grove reports...

Report Could Torpedo Hillary Clinton's Prez Plans Two Washington pundits are warning that Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential plans may depend on whether congressional Democrats can continue to keep Independent Counsel David Barrett's final report on IRS abuses during the 1990s under wraps. "Prominent Democrats in Congress have spent much of the last decade in a campaign to suppress Barrett's report," columnist Robert Novak reported yesterday. "Its disclosures could dig deeply into concealed Clinton administration scandals." Notes Fox News Radio's Tony Snow: "By all accounts, the 400-page Barrett report is a bombshell, capable possibly of wiping out Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential...

FOR BACKGROUND: www.HillCAP.org; PETER PAUL AND HILLARY SERIES After following the drama in New York about whether Jeanine Pirro was in or out of a race against Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, I made a call to the New York GOP headquarters yesterday. It appears that Jeanine is staying in the race, rather than making a try for Attorney General. At least, that is the plan for now. I called to discuss the one issue that Pirro could use that may actually have some impact -- the 2000 campaign finance fraud by Hillary and her campaign team. The lady who answered...

The District has begun using surveillance cameras to keep an electronic eye out for illegal dumpers, riling advocates of civil liberties who call the tactic intrusive and unconstitutional. About a half-dozen of the portable, motion-sensor cameras are monitoring alleys and abandoned lots. Their quarry: those who dump industrial and hazardous waste on public property. Metropolitan Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey yesterday said illegal dumping is a "huge" problem but directed questions about the cameras to the Department of Public Works, the agency in charge of the program...
