Bill Clinton, aka 'President of the World'

Chris Matthews' glowing TV special focuses on years since office

(NEWSER) - To most of us, he's "the former president," "Bill Clinton," or maybe "Bubba." But to Chris Matthews on this Presidents' Day, Clinton is President of the World, the name of his much ballyhooed, frenetic TV special airing tonight at 10pm. Taking a look at the decade since Clinton left office, Matthews, an ardent critic of Clinton's White House years, effusively declares his post-presidency to be unlike any other—an international star/humble humanitarian mash-up of Teddy Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and Jimmy Carter, Politico reports.

Bill's $500K Kuwait Speech Shadows Hillary Vetting

Pricey talk to Kuwaiti bankers is the kind of situation that raises concern

(NEWSER) - Bill Clinton hailed the prospect of Hillary becoming Barack Obama's secretary of state in a speech to a group of Kuwaiti bankers Sunday, and the $500,000 he pocketed for the talk highlights the kind of complications that have ensnarled his wife's vetting process, reports the Daily Beast. Clinton, who also gave advice to the president-elect in the speech, regularly rakes in more from an hour's speaking than a secretary of state makes in a year, and often from players with important federal government links.

Clinton Helped Crony Land Mining Deal

After trip to Kazakhstan, buddy tapped uranium, Bill's charity got $31M

(NEWSER) - Two days after former president Bill Clinton took pal and mining mogul Frank Giustra to meet Kazakhstan's de facto dictator, Giustra landed a monster contract to mine uranium with state-run mining company Kazatomprom, the New York Times reports—despite his firm’s lack of relevant experience. Shortly thereafter, Clinton’s charitable foundation got a $31.3 million check from Giustra. More»

Bill Clinton Gala the 'Worst Party Ever'

Plus, Bubba surrounds himself with porn stars

(NEWSER) - Bill Clinton threw a very expensive fundraiser Tuesday, but the non-celebrity guests were not impressed, with at least one calling it the "worst party ever." The Telegraph recounts tweets and interviews with attendees who stood in line outside for hours after paying anywhere from $200 to nearly $1,600 for a ticket, while Clinton and VIPs like Gwyneth Paltrow and will.i.am schmoozed inside. Once they finally made it in to the underground venue, multiple guests reported perspiration dripping from the walls, and one adds that "the place absolutely stank." Plus, it was so crowded that some couldn't even see or hear Clinton. More»
