To the surprise of probably none of the 1,800 Democrats packed into a Birmingham ballroom tonight, former President Bill Clinton said he's decided women should run everything. "I think it's a real hoot you elected the first woman chief justice," Clinton told state Democrats at their annual Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner. He was referring to Alabama Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb, the first woman to hold that office in state history. "You know, I've about decided women ought to run everything," a grinning Clinton said as the big crowd yelped and clapped. The quip was an obvious plug for his wife,...

New York, March 8 (ANI): A new book on Bill Clinton's post-presidential life reportedly claims that he had an affair with New Yorker Denise Rich whose ex-husband, Marc, was famously pardoned by the former US President. 'The Clinton Crack-Up' authored by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., a prominent anti-Clintonite who founded the American Spectator also claims that Madame Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, knew about the whole affair.

The Franklin Roosevelt-inspired 22nd Amendment meant that was all the time Clinton would have in the Oval office, unless Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton takes him back there as "first husband." She is considered...

WASHINGTON, April 12 — As Bill Clinton seeks to finish his memoirs, leading Democrats are voicing concern that the book could overshadow Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign, diverting attention to Mr. Clinton's outsize legacy of scandal and achievement. Many Democrats said they wanted the book published as far as possible before the election and, certainly, before the Democratic National Convention in late July. They fear that the book will embolden Mr. Clinton's foes to turn out and vote for President Bush. Mr. Clinton, for his part, has increased the nervous speculation about the book in Democratic circles by making a...
