As I understand it, clinton has visited his extremely expensive "office" about as often as he held cabinet meetings while he was president. That, is virtually not at all. In the year of the Lewinsky scandal, clinton held two cabinet meetings, one to say he didn't do it, and the other to say that he was sorry he did. Naturally the media found nothing reprehensible in any of this.

LOL! I knew I remembered that fact, but phrased the way you did is a hoot!

Are you kidding? In that neighborhood? Not with SS guys or the Taliban as backup.......

He wants votes and babes, not office space....

He may not have visited the office, but he uses Harlem for photo ops. Here's an account of his recent efforts on behalf of mayoral candidate Mark Green:

Mr. Green, meanwhile, was up on 110th Street on the borders of Harlem having lunch and suckling at the fount of former president Bill Clinton's charisma. The two met at Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Homecooking To Stay or Go, and this time there was a crowd of actual voters jostling the media camp. "Yo! Bill!" they called out, leaving no doubt whatsoever who could have been the mayor of New York if only he had listened to the local political matchmakers nine months ago. Mr. Clinton, flushed to contentment with fried chicken, greens and gravy, insisted on bringing Miss Mamie to the podium. The crowd "yo'd" and "Bill'd" in joyous recognition of Mr. Clinton's ever-ready recognition of them. For a moment, it looked like a campaign trail.

The shorter fellow with the thick white hair like Mr. Clinton's but a look as pinched as Mr. Clinton's is expansive hovered just behind as if waiting to be introduced.

"Well, that was a wonderful lunch," said Mr. Clinton, placing an arm around Miss Mamie. "You know how I especially like that home cooking." Then he went on to explain why he was wearing a garish green kipper tie. It was "a subtle hint" to show his support for the man who was waiting to be introduced, Mark Green.

"I bought it on a shopping trip with my daughter Chelsea," drawled the old pro of the hustings. "We figured it would be just right for the day I endorse Mark Green for mayor. And then I can wear it again next St. Patrick's Day, when Mayor Green will be pretending he is Irish."

How the crowd roared, and how Mr. Green cringed. Mr. Green and Mr. Bloomberg are born-and-bred New York Jews: Mr. Green, a scion of the Upper West Side liberal establishment, and Mr. Bloomberg of the Wall Street Strivers. The blacks and Hispanics of Harlem have long had their political problems with both powerful groups, but this year it is Mr. Green getting the un-Bloomberg vote. entire article.
