A Rich vein of gossip for Clinton foes

A new book on Bill Clinton's post-presidential life is heading to bookstores faster than a speeding Swift boat.

Among the allegations in "The Clinton Crack-Up" is a claim that the former Horndog-in-Chief had an affair with New Yorker Denise Rich, whose ex-husband, Marc, he famously pardoned.

And Madame Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, knew about it, alleges ultraconservative author R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., a prominent anti-Clintonite who founded the American Spectator Magazine.

"Denise Rich's contact with Clinton began long before Hillary confided her allegations to Representative [now Speaker] Nancy Pelosi that Bill 'f—' Denise," writes Tyrrell.

The source for the remark is given as "a currently serving Capitol Hill police officer standing two feet away."

This account, oddly enough, is roundly denied by all parties. Rich was traveling and unavailable for comment yesterday, but a spokesman said: "There is no truth to this story."

It was very obvious when Clinton pardoned Marc Rich that Denise was the instigator of the pardon and likely convinced Clinton with more than money. Probably the only female that would surprise me as being a Clinton paramour would be Helen Thomas.

Welll -- compared to Hillary and/or Monica...

Reagan was described as the Teflon President, but the Clintons have him beat by far. I believe that Hillary would still get the Democrat nomination if, during the final debate, she crossed the stage, slit Obama's throat, and threw his carcass into the audience. She'd still get 90% of the "black vote", too.
