pretty ironic, if you think about it.
I heard about this on PMSNBC this morning; he sorta got set up. the question was posed
while he was shaking hands on "the rope line" after a rally. the lady that asked the question,
also, incidentally, the same person that surreptitiously recorded Obama's "hiding behind guns
and God" comments in SF, secretly recorded his answer. she is a "citizen-reporter" for the
HuffPo. :whatever:
Bill Clinton sorry for 'scumbag' remarks, spokesman says
(CNN) -- Hillary Clinton's campaign has apologized for "inappropriate" language used by her husband in response to what it called an "outrageously unfair" article about the former president.
The article, by Vanity Fair magazine's national editor Todd Purdum, suggested that Bill Clinton's personality had changed since his 2004 heart bypass surgery and said that there were reports of Clinton "seeing a lot of women on the road."
Purdum quoted four anonymous former Clinton aides saying that another of his former assistants had conducted "what one of these aides called an intervention" about the reports of philandering.
A writer for the Huffington Post, Mayhill Fowler, asked Clinton on Monday what he thought "about that hatchet job somebody did on you in Vanity Fair," according to a recording of the exchange posted on the Huffington Post's Web site.
"[He's] sleazy," Clinton responded. "He's a really dishonest reporter."
Clinton said he had not read the article but that he was told that "there's five or six just blatant lies in there. But he's a real slimy guy."
Calling Purdum a "scumbag," Clinton said "he's one of the guys that propagated all those lies about Whitewater for Kenneth Starr. He's just a dishonest guy -- can't help it."
Purdum "didn't use a single name, he didn't cite a single source in all those things he said," said the former president, who added that the article was "part of the national media's attempt to nail Hillary for [Barack] Obama."
He said readers should be wary of news accounts that rely on unnamed sources.
"Anytime you read a story that slimes a public figure with anonymous quotes, it ought to make the bells go off in your head," he said.
Late Monday, Jay Carson, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton's campaign, said that "President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article, but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it."

actually, everything they have ever done is the result of some sinister conspiracy on the part of some unknown person or persons. whatever it is, it isn't their fault to begin with. :whatever:

yep. "I am sorry if you were offended" is very different from "I am sorry that I offended you".
