Bill Clinton Unloads on Press By Anne E. Kornblut Former president Bill Clinton lashed out in response to criticism on Wednesday from a prominent Democrat in South Carolina, accusing the Obama campaign of running a political smear campaign against him through the media. "You live for this," Clinton snapped at CNN reporter Jessica Yellin when she asked him to comment on statements by Dick Harpootlian, the former South Carolina Democratic party chairman, who said recent distortions by the Clintons are "reprehensible." Harpootlian, who backed the Clintons in the 1990s and now supports Sen. Barack Obama, had compared Clinton's distortions to the dirty tricks campaigns run by the infamous Republican operative Lee Atwater. After an event on Wednesday in South Carolina, Yellin approached the former president and asked him to respond to Harpootlian's remarks. Clinton let loose on camera, chastising the reporter for asking him about political conflict rather than the substance of the meeting he had just held. "You're asking me about this, you sat through this whole meeting. Not one single, solitary soul asked about any of this. And they never do." Referring to the Obama campaign, Clinton said: "They are feeding you this because they know this is what you want to cover." As Clinton's aides tried to steer him out the door, he continued to scold back in Yellin's direction: "Shame on you."

Don’t forget draft-dodger and America-bashing demonstrator in a foreign capital.
I'm thinking this was a setup. Jessica Yellin's family were huge Clinton contributors. Her father (now deceased) was a powerful developer in Los Angeles in California and gave money to the Democrats. Her mother, Adele Yellin, throws tons of money Democrats way and has even given donations to Hillary as recently as last year. Any chance that this is a setup by the Clintons and Yellins to give Bill a chance to lash the media and gain votes? The Clintons have been known to stage events.
We could really go on and on here. What a couple of anti-American grifters!
"Bill Clinton, Pantload"
How's that?
Better not. He's a known master baiter. :)
Bloomberg-Obama??
“Clinton, not Spears.”
Oh.
darn.
“They are feeding you this because they know this is what you want to cover.”
And if you said this, they would probably put you into psychiatric care for schizophrenic paranoia.
“and just who is , they, Bill?”
