Ex-Aide: Clinton Got a Little Too Close

Here's a shocker: President Clinton liked the ladies, and the ladies liked him

Share

(Newser) – Move over, Monica. President Clinton had his eye on another young political staffer, and she’s recounting at least one incident with him in her upcoming tell-all. During the 2000 G8 Summit in Japan, Clinton allegedly called Stacy Parker Aab, then 26, to his room and embraced her on the balcony—for an inappropriate length of time, she writes—as he told her he’d always admired her. Scandal!

The book also recounts visiting Steven Spielberg's Hamptons home to find Kate Capshaw waiting to greet the president in a bathing suit—leaving Hillary unruffled, the New York Daily News reports. “Ms. Capshaw might have just been another woman showing off her best bits to the president,” Aab writes in Government Girl: Young and Female in the White House, due out January. “Mrs. Clinton had seen this scene before.”

I watched the invited guests. How they pulled at him. Called his name. The huggers. The screamers. The wide-eyed gapers. Like Monica in her beret, waiting. - Stacy Parker Aab

He's all yours liberals. Slick Willy at his worst. If he were a Republican, I am sure you would condemn him. As it is, pull your dresses down because your hypocrisy is showing.

Think about what she said. If true, Clinton sounds like the classic predator. I believe he is.
