Bill Clinton dabbled in voodoo? A Canadian journalist says oui:

.... According to historian Joel A. Ruth, a Voodoo sorcerer, supplied to Clinton by the exiled-by-coup John-Bertrand Aristide, once put a curse on incumbent President George W. Bush, "by manipulating a doll made in the president’s image." ....

Clinton’s friendship with Aristide, a former Catholic priest turned Voodoo practitioner dates back to 1991 when Aristide, ousted in a coup, took up residence in Washington, D.C. Joining the cocktail circuit and networking for the political aid needed to help restore his power, he soon found his way within the inner circle of the soon-to-be Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Clinton.

As time would tell, Clinton paid more than a politician’s lip service to the practice of Voodoo. According to the Haiti Observateur, "During a March 31, 1995 visit to Haiti under Aristide’s restored rule, Clinton took part in a Voodoo initiative ceremony intended to keep him impervious to Republican attacks and to guarantee his re-election." (FrontPageMag.com, Feb. 20,. 2004).

No Voodoo ceremony could ward off Monica Lewinsky and the rest, as they say, is history. ... rest of article

I was kidding, it's not really a Kaballah bracelet:

BOGOTA: For five years, BILL CLINTON has worn a bracelet given to him by a group of Colombian children who sang and danced for peace. When the former US president visited Colombia on Wednesday, he finally took it off - only to replace it with a new one. "When I go to Africa, Middle East, all over the world they ask me about this bracelet," Clinton told a business leadership forum in the capital, Bogota. Clinton said it gives him strength as it reminds him of the courage of the Colombian people in the face of violence and suffering inflicted by the South American nation's 40-year-old civil war. source

What a load of tripe.

He actually got the bracelet in 2002. By my figuring that makes it three years (almost to the day as one article cites "June 27, 2002"), but all the stories today are saying he's worn the thing for five years.

New math?

Amazing what the press finds worth reporting when it comes to the Big He.
