Move along, move along. Nothing to see here. Just another example of journalistic “ethics”.

Nuance about the dynamic of a successful marriage had been one of the things lacking in the widely-criticized New York Times piece on John McCain's supposed infatuation with a lobbyist.

Nuance was lacking, but the political affiliation was right.

I would love to believe both from the title of Ms Fowler's book and from the confessional tone of her article that both reality and guilt have finally taken their toll and she is seeing what she and the rest of liberal journalist truly are.

However since she is posting this article on The Huffington Post and freely admits to piggybacking on Game Change that this is all about getting a few extra bucks while covering her ass with excuses.

Bias indeed.

If this story had come out when she says, it could only have helped Obama. Since he won anyway, it doesn’t seem to have made much difference.

If the story had come out, Obama’s win would have been blamed on the story, at least to some extent.

LOL

Can’t you just imagine the rationalizations for her life that this POS is going to give good ole Saint Peter when she arrives at the pearly gates?

Now if one of the wise and oh-so-enlightened journalists could only bring themselves to write about Hildebeast’s lovers THEN we’d have something!

How interesting. This is, of course, the same Mayhill Fowler who attended the Obama SanFrancisco fundraiser where Ubama made his infamous, "clinging to guns and religion" statement.

Somehow, Fowler initially didn't think this was newsworthy either.

Executing such a story could have had consequences for the mistress's children, who were still minors.

See, there you have it folks, that's the rational for not covering it.

McCain only had one kid who was a minor, and anyways, she was adopted so it's not like that counts.

Edwards, on the other hand, his mistress had an infant.

I told myself various truths: many different kinds of loving experiences make a good world; no one except partners themselves know what goes on behind the bedroom door. As a woman who has been married for thirty-six years, I appreciate the complicated and forgiving nature of long attachments. Nuance about the dynamic of a successful marriage had been one of the things lacking in the widely-criticized New York Times piece on John McCain's supposed infatuation with a lobbyist.

Ah--NUANCE! One of the left's favorite words to trot out when the facts are getting in the way. Ronald Reagan was correct when he stated, "There ARE simple answers to difficult questions."

“So I continued to rationalize. I told myself various truths: many different kinds of loving experiences make a good world; no one except partners themselves know what goes on behind the bedroom door.”

The ultimate test is: if the subject of this piece was George Bush, would you have held your tongue, Mayhill? Or would have made snide jokes and blissfully blogged about it?

A lot was covered up about Bill Clinton including his rapes of women. When he was impeached he should have been made to go to jail.

best line in the whole story
“ Therefore, I told myself, the presence of a mistress really does not tell us all that much about the rich relationship between Bill and Hillary Clinton. “
The rich relationship. Truly. He’s humiliated her hundreds of times and that makes for a rich relationship.

Bill Clinton Affair Rumors

The Enquirer story comes on the heels of a July 2008 Vanity Fair story that suggested Clinton had an affair with actress Gina Gershon. Gershon denies the story, and her attorney is demanding that the magazine issue a retraction and an apology.

If Bill Clinton didn’t seem completely focused on his wife Hilary’s campaign, there’s a very good reason. He was just coming off a bad break up with a long time mistress. Bill had been seeing millionaire divorcee Julie Tauber McMahon. Now Julie is the daughter of wealthy Democratic Party financial contributor Joel Tauber (that Bill sure likes the Jewish chicks!). Her ex husband also left her a bundle: $30 million in stock options.

Friends with money

The pair first met down in Aspen in 1998. Her father Joel had generously offered Big Bill the use of his 25 million spread, and Bill proceeded to make himself completely at home, if you know what I mean.

Mile High Club Club member becomes a frequent flier

Well the two immediately hit it off. With in the next years, the engaged in a series of international trysts. Julia would make sure that her trips abroad would coincide with Bill’s, and the result was a lot of hook ups in London, New York, Paris and Munich!

reaching new heights while plumbing old depths

Soon the lovebirds were ready to take it to the next level. The Clinton’s bought a home in Chicago, and conveniently located a mere 5 mins from Ms Tauber McMahon’s. Bill went from frequent flier to frequent visitor, and even began playing a mentor role with Julie’s 3 kids. Julie even confessed to her kin folk that she was in love with Bill, and that the big love was in love with her too.

When there’s magic, some one has to disappear

Now that’s often where relationships come to an end. While confessing their true love to each other, Bill supposedly said that he would leave Hilary, if he could. Julie took the hint, and promptly broke things off. That left Bill gutted.

How do you heal a broken heart?

So that brings us up to the Democratic Party Nominee campaign. While Hilary was busy trying to bull doze her way to the top, Bill was nursing a broken heart. Now there’s one sure fore way that Bill can make him self feel better, and that’s with a good old fashioned sex spree! Reputedly, while Hilary was eagerly campaigning away, and looking to her better half for support, bill was on a wild rampage that made the Sex and the City girls look like a convent of nuns. Now Bill’s bad behavior was hinted at by Vanity Fair’s Todd Purdum (Purdum accused Clinton of surrounding himself with a pack of enablers. Clinton responded by calling Purdum a “scumbag”. There’s nothing like an Oxford education for endowing a lawyer with a command of the English language!). Bill hit back at Purdum, calling the article sleazy. Technically this is true, since the article was about him. However sources are saying that Bill was cheating up a storm while pitching in for Hilary on the campaign trail. Basically he was hard at it every chance he got, and when ever the opportunity presented it’s self.

He ain’t heavy, his my significant other

Naturally the Tauber-McMahon people have adamantly denied any of this. Julie herself has said for the record that she is a friend of the Clintons, but that there isn’t any thing to the rumors. However a member of her family has not only confirmed the relationship, but passed a polygraph test on the matter. That means that while Hilary was counting on her husband’s experience as a former president, and his skill as a master campaigner, his mind was focused on other things. So it seems that Wild Bill has let his wife down once again.

When questioned by The Enquirer,

Julie denied being Bill’s mistress in a written

statement.”I am a friend of the Clintons,

but these allegations are completely false.”

A source told The Enquirer,

“It became a running joke in the family,

if Clinton traveled to London, we’d learn Julie was

also visiting london. When Clinton went to France,

we’d discover Julie was also in France.

Julie confided to family members that she loved Bill

and he loved her. Apparently, Clinton once told her,

‘If I could leave Hillary, i would!’”

“Julie finally broke off the relationship because

of family pressure, but she also realized Bill

was never going to leave Hillary.”

Why bother covering it up at this point? That’s like trying to hide the fact that Hitler didn’t like Jews.
