Hillary Clinton is furious, apparently, and has warned her husband, Bill, to "cool his 'close relationship' with a wealthy blond divorcee . . ." according to this week's cover story in the supermarket tabloid the Globe. The rich blond divorcée? Well, she's none other than Belinda Stronach, one of the leadership candidates for the Conservative Party. She and the former U.S. president are featured prominently in this week's issue.
(Remember there is a Canadian connection because Bonnie Fuller, the chief editorial director of the company that owns the Globe, is a Canadian who has made it big as a magazine editor in the United States.)
The article says that Mrs. Clinton wants her husband to end his alleged relationship with Ms. Stronach and has read him the "bimbo riot act." She's worried it could affect her chances to run for the presidency. It says that Mrs. Clinton has told her husband to stop being "Belinda's political adviser." And: "Any move Bill makes on Belinda will spell D-I-V-O-R-C-E," says the story, which quotes a source as saying "she's sexy and brilliant."
It's no secret here that the two are friends. Ms. Stronach was asked about that at her campaign launch last month but brushed off the question. But the tabloids aren't buying the brush-off. The National Enquirer recently contacted a Parliament Hill reporter to ask about the Belinda/Bill connection. Meanwhile, a spokesman for Ms. Stronach called the Globe's piece "utterly ridiculous."
Eeeeewwwww! That's just gross!
Especially since Hittlery would insist on being on top.
By better hair, you mean Belinda washes it more than once a month? :-)

EDMONTON -- A cheeky stunt by a local radio personality at the Belinda Stronach luncheon in Edmonton had her Alberta organizer aghast yesterday. "Hurricane" Huber of the Bear 100.3 FM morning show presented the Conservative leadership hopeful with a red thong sporting the station's paw print logo as she milled among the crowd prior to her address at the Shaw Conference Centre.
"I would say she took it in good humour," Rod Love, a member of Stronach's campaign team, said yesterday. "But I think, and everyone else at the table thought, it was a pretty disgraceful thing. To do that in front of the mayor for (Pete's) sake. That's just ..."
He said she did not mention the incident to him after it happened, in front 800 people at the luncheon.
"She pretty much washed it from her mind," he said. "She was very good about it, you know, as a candidate. But I thought it was a disgrace."
When asked if Stronach has any intention of ever wearing the slinky under garment, Love said, "Don't go as low as they did, OK?"
There's a great story in the recently published book, PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP, edited by James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal. The book contains an essay on each of our 43 presidents. Historian (and a great one at that) Paul Johnson wrote the essay on Clinton. Basically, he said that Clinton accomplished nothing in his tenure as president, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...his presidency represented the longest period of laissez-faire in modern American history. Imagine, Johnson writes, what damage Clinton could have done had he actually be an effective activist president. But that's not the story.
Johnson ends his essay with a story that pretty much sums up everything that is Bill Clinton. He refers to a visit by Clinton to the Notting Hill area of London in 2002. Bill decides to "press the flesh" a bit (in the traditional sense of the phrase), meet and mix with the neighborhood folk. Everyone gets all goo-goo eyed over Bill's presence. He meanders into a local pub where he proclaims "Drinks for everyone! They're on me." This offer is greeted with cheers both inside and outside the pub. He then continues with his congenial backslapping and story-telling. Everyone is mesmerized by his "charm." When he finally leaves the pub, he waves at the crowd like some conquering hero, gets back into his limo, and heads off. The place is totally abuzz. Everyone is enraptured with Clinton's visit...except the pub owner. Clinton never paid for everyone's round of drinks.
Ahem...where are Bill's hands?
BTW, she's not that attractive.
Ummm, considering his past dalliences, isn't she just a bit to cute for him?
What a nimrod. Perfect for Bill...a woman of little substance, but wildly "successful."
Is Bill wearing a sports bra?
Nah. He's bucking for PM of Canada! :)
