There was a chill in the air last week when ex-president Bill Clinton joined Time magazine's chief editor, Norman Pearlstine, onstage at Manhattan's Time Warner Center to discuss the events of the day.
"There were no pleasantries, no welcoming comments," noted the New York Times. "And at certain points, Mr. Clinton looked peeved."
The reason?
As Clinton waited in the wings with Pearlstine to come on stage, he confronted the media honcho over a recent Time column by Joe Klein, the Times said.
Just days before, Klein had trashed the idea of a presidential bid by Hillary Clinton as a potential "disaster on many levels."
One reason, said Pearlstine's scribe, was Mr. Clinton himself, whom Klein described as a "one-man supermarket tabloid."
Rumors of more Monica-like shenanigans were sure to punctuate any Hillary run, he suggested.
Worse still, said Klein, "Absent any evidence, the former president should be considered guilty until proved really guilty."
No wonder Pearlstine got the cold shoulder from Clinton.
This is without question the best description of BJ ever!
Bill Clinton is mad...oh God, I hope I don't lose any sleep over this tonight!
A cold shoulder from x42 deserves a major huzzah! from Freepers (even though Klein has been a major putz before).
I remember that--he was reported to be thinking of running for the NY junior senator seat, too. And he would have won, too...
Rumors of more Monica-like shenanigans were sure to punctuate any Hillary run, he suggested.
And I bet he knows all the details, too. That old horndog is going to bleep himself to death, just watch.

I had always assumed that BJ and Klein were friends, so it's possible that Klein has seen the shenanigans first-hand at BJ's house in Chappaqua.
Are you suggesting he was killed because of his remarks .. I don't think so.
I believe he was killed because he planned to run for the Senate from NEW YORK and Hillary knew she was doomed if he did.
I wish I had said that.
Seriously, this is the most accurate statement of the impeached one I've ever heard.
AND , [just in case we've forgotten] ... this time of year and into the summer has historically not been very good for Bubba ans Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton , ... here it comes [as Casey Stengal used to say,"you can look it up"]
Either I'm not following you or I've really missed some major summer events. Can you expand a little on this?
"That old horndog is going to bleep himself to death, just watch."
There's a mouse that does just that. When it's mating season, he runs himself ragged going from one female to another until he expires.
not to be esoteric , but its something I've noticed ,...Foster death happened in June, Monica came to the WH in June ,summer 1996 Monica was yapping to Tripp , Aug '97 was Kathleen Willey , May into June '98 was everyday!! , there is an abundance through every year's scandal ,... sorry if its incomplete , like Casey said.....
Wasn't J. Klien the anonymous writer that wrote a (barely) fictional account of the 1992 election?
Me thinks he knows much more than what he has told us publically.
oops Vince Foster was July , my bad
The plane crash near Dubrovnik, Croatia, that killed Ron Brown and others happened on April 3, 1996.
