Ex-Aide: Clinton Got a Little Too Close

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

(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

So true...Ever since Grog killed the mammoth all by himself and got the hottest girl in the cave women just seem attracted to men of power. But in all honesty for some really odd and sick reason I was attracted to Maggie Thatcher when she was PM of Great Britain....lol..( just kiddin). Who knows...if there were more women in the position of power the rule could as easily be applied to men being attracted to women of power. This woman isnt too bright as far as timing goes though. Shes about 16 years too late to cash in on gravy train. But hey, even I had a man crush on Bill while he was President..how could you not...lol....And am I the only one who thinks Darrell Hamond does a killer Bill Clinton?

Lady Gaga Channels Marilyn at Clinton Fete

Usher rips his pants, Bono sings opera, the usual

(NEWSER) - In perhaps a case of history repeating itself, a blonde bombshell serenaded a notoriously libidinous Democratic president last night: But this time it was Lady Gaga sending up Bill Clinton, so things wouldn't have been complete without some extra raunch and an F-bomb. Appearing at last night's "A Decade of Difference" concert in salute of the William J. Clinton Foundation, Gaga told the crowd, "Tonight I thought we'd all get caught up in a little Bill romance," later telling the former prez, "I love you and your hot wife," before demanding that "Billary" "sit back down where you belong in the Oval Office with those high heels on." Finally: "If someone had told me so many years ago that I'd be doing that right in front of you ... I would have given a good American f**k you."
