Bill Clinton's affairs numbered in the "thousands," and Hillary Clinton's response was to "disseminate information and destroy the women with whom he dallied," according to Linda Tripp, a key figure in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. "Everyone knew within the West Wing, particularly those who spent years with him, of the thousands of women," Tripp told Breitbart.com's Aaron Klein in a an interview Sunday night on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio.” "But as to the hundreds or thousands, remember I worked closely with the closest aides to the president," she said. “And it was a loosey-goosy environment so there was not a...

Louisiana Toddler Dies After 2-Year Battle With Rare Skin Disease Published January 16, 2012 [Sad Pic in URL] A toddler succumbed to a rare skin disease, which caused his skin to blister at the slightest amount of movement, the Daily Mail reported.

What's with the recent trend of tagging articles with palin or sarahpalin that have nothing to do with Sarah Palin? If your article has nothing to do with Palin, please don't tag it as such. It's bad enough that journalists use her name to get hits to their articles or as a cheap source of writing material. We don't need that attitude here too. Just because people want to increase traffic to their posts, doesn't mean they should tag their posted articles with palin or sarahpalin. This just clutters the keyword/tagging system.

© GettyWe know where Bill Clinton is, but what in the world happened to the other players from the former president’s Monica Lewinsky scandal? Well, Ms. Monica went to study in London and hasn’t been heard from since. Literary agent Lucianne Goldberg, who helped break the story, has remained quiet for Lucianne Goldberg, and we’ve heard nary a peep from Linda Tripp. That is, however, until wOw tracked her down to the Christmas Sleigh store which she owns in Middleburg, VA, with her husband. With more than 1,300 products, the C. Sleigh, according to their website, specializes in handmade or...

The horrific events of September 11 gave rise to many acts of heroism by numerous brave Americans. Many of these stouthearted souls have been duly honored. However, not all heroes are so honored. Some are left to suffer the devastating consequences of their courage alone and are totally forgotten. One such American hero is Linda Tripp. Does anyone remember Linda Tripp? Linda is the Pentagon employee whose honesty and courage led to Bill Clinton's impeachment. During a time when Democrats were 800-pound gorillas, Republicans were 90-pound weaklings, and the media were nothing more than Clinton lap dogs, Linda Tripp stood ...

With so much attention rightfully being paid to the unmasking of W. Mark Felt as "Deep Throat," the source of Watergate fame, it was time for a cultural experiment. So I typed "W. Mark Felt" into the news bar in Google and pressed the "enter" key. (snip) But cultural experiments must be fair. Otherwise, angry Nixonians could accuse me of liberal elitism, or is that elite mainstream mediaism? To add balance, I typed in "Linda Tripp" next to Felt's name and pressed the enter key. Guess what happened? Not much. (snip) So Felt is the hero. And last I heard,...

The former attorney for Clinton scandal whistleblower Linda R. Tripp -- who, like "Deep Throat," exposed White House misdeeds -- said his client's harsh public treatment stands in stark contrast to the veneration of W. Mark Felt, whose aid to the press helped bring down President Nixon. "I think that what happened to Linda Tripp -- demonization is too kind a word," said David Irwin, who represented Mrs. Tripp during President Clinton's impeachment trial. "I thought she got the brunt of a lot of people's frustrations. "There is no question that Linda Tripp, like Mark Felt, was not happy with...

Former Nixon aide Pat Buchanan said Wednesday that the same mainstream reporters who paint newly revealed "Deep Throat" source Mark Felt as a hero couldn't find a good word to say about Linda Tripp, whose secret tapes led to the impeachment of President Clinton. "The only reason Mark Felt is a hero now [is because he helped] destroy was Richard Milhous Nixon," Buchanan told WABC Radio's John Gambling. But when it came to President Clinton, he noted, reporters suddenly developed a distaste for whistleblowers. "I mean, did they make Linda Tripp a hero?" the former Nixon speechwriter asked plaintively. "At...

DEMOCRATS' eyes lit up like kids offered a pony ride when they first heard about secretly taped telephone conversations in which George W. Bush seemed to admit to a friend that he had smoked pot, and perhaps more. If Dems were smart, they'd drop this cold potato, for a sackful of reasons. Let's start with betrayal. It's bad enough you secretly tape a friend. Conceivably, you might have a reason to do that - self protection, for instance. But to release the tape to grub bucks, as Doug Wead apparently has done, is about as low as you can go....

MY REVIEW of C.A. Tripp's The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln for THE WEEKLY STANDARD has caught the attention of several bloggers--but Andrew Sullivan seems to have been the most irritated. Indeed, his website contains half a dozen angry references to my essay--and that's not counting the drive-by blast he fired off in a column for the New Republic.Perhaps Sullivan deserves some answer, for he insists THE WEEKLY STANDARD must apologize for my calling Tripp's book a hoax and a fraud--although one would have more confidence in Sullivan's complaints if he gave a stronger sense of having actually read my...

Winchester continues its reputation as a wedding mecca in Virginia. Linda Tripp, who caught the nation's attention during the Monica Lewinsky episode of President Clinton’s second term, came to the Winchester Circuit Clerk’s office to obtain a marriage license Dec. 30. “I asked her if she was THE Linda Tripp and she said yes,” reported Will Gardner, deputy clerk of the court. “I was curious about how many people could have that name,” Gardner said. He didn’t recognize her physically but did remember the name when he was typing up the license. Gardner said she seemed a little anxious once...

I hate to be the first to say it, but add to the sins of the libs and the lib media another aggregious double-standard. I'm talking about Brig. General Janice Karpinski, and I'm saying, "just take a look at her."The entire picture, her 'look', the prison-matron job, the out-of-control sexual/sadist element of the story ---- it's all of a piece with a 1950's "prison sex" movie, and Ge. Karpinski is right out of central casting for her part.I'm talking about "ugly" here, both pysically, spiritually, and sexually.Now here's the double standard. It's called "the lib treatment of Linda Tripp".We all...
