- Sex Scandal Tees Are All the Rage
  
  newser | Radar | Apr 27, 08 7:40 PM CDT
  
  Americans love their ironic T-shirts, especially when they make coy references to politicians' sex scandals. The Internet is awash with "Client #9" and "Zippergate '98" gear, but the phenomenon isn't restricted to the digital age. It's version 2.0 of the traditional smear campaign—"as American as apple pie," one political analyst told Radar . More »
- Bill Resumes Central Role in Hillary's Campaign
  
  newser | Wall Street Journal | Apr 26, 08 2:12 PM CDT
  
  Despite controversial remarks on more than one occasion, Bill Clinton has moved to the forefront of his wife’s campaign, the Wall Street Journal reports. In what some insiders call the “Billification” of Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid, the ex-President is pushing for sharper attacks on Barack Obama amid an aggressive stumping schedule. “We’re not quitters,” he reportedly tells his wife.

- Clyburn Blasts Bill's 'Bizarre' Obama Attacks
  
  newser | New York Times | Apr 25, 08 6:01 AM CDT
  
  South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn slammed Bill Clinton’s “bizarre” campaign-trail conduct in an interview yesterday with the New York Times , saying that “black people are incensed” over Clinton’s remarks about Barack Obama. Clinton earlier compared Obama’s win in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s 1988 success there, then Monday claimed the Obama campaign had “played the race card on me” by making an issue of it. More »
- Dream Ticket Is the Candidates' Worst Nightmare
  
  newser | New York Times | Apr 22, 08 10:20 AM CDT
  
  Despite Democratic dreams of a shared ticket, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton may not be able to stand each other long enough to share a campaign. It’s been the first question in several debates, and will be for either as the freshly crowned nominee, but when the Times privately queried the candidates’ aides, the response was laughter. More »
- 50 Ways to Leave Hillary's Camp
  
  newser | New York Times | Apr 20, 08 2:50 PM CDT
  
  As more longtime Clintonites succumb to Obamania and Hillary Clinton's superdelegate lead gradually diminishes, the former first couple is left to sift their friendships into past and present. But while the Clinton camp sees shifts toward Barack Obama as acts of betrayal, others consider them comeuppance for the Clintons' habit of collecting political allies and taking them for granted, reports the New York Times .

- Hillary Slams MoveOn
  
  newser | Huffington Post | Apr 19, 08 9:52 AM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton told a closed-door fundraiser that the Democratic "activist base" was to blame for her Super Tuesday losses, the Huffington Post reports. She singled out MoveOn.org for damage to her campaign. "They know I don't agree with them," Clinton said. "So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me." More »
- Bill's Charity Linked to Tibet Crackdown
  
  newser | Los Angeles Times | Apr 13, 08 11:56 AM CDT
  
  Hillary Clinton's strong public stance against the crackdown in Tibet flies in the face of her husband's past fundraising ties in China, reports the LA Times . At the crux is a 2005 speech the former president gave for which he received an undisclosed donation to his charitable foundation—from Internet giant Alibaba. More »
- Clinton Camp 'Ticked Me Off': Richardson
  
  newser | Los Angeles Times | Apr 12, 08 3:34 PM CDT
  
  Bill Richardson says negative ads and arm-twisting phone calls from the Clinton camp pushed him to back Barack Obama last month, the Los Angeles Times reports. The New Mexico governor, labeled a "Judas" after supporting Obama, says he almost backed Hillary until her "3 a.m." ads came out—and Clintonites called saying he owed her support. "That really ticked me off," he said. More »
- Bill Blasts Media Over Hillary's 'Sniper' Misfire
  
  newser | Politico | Apr 11, 08 9:04 AM CDT
  
  Just when you thought the controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton's trip to Bosnia had died down, Bill Clinton resuscitated it with an impassioned defense of his wife's claims. During a rally at an Indiana high school, the former president lashed out at the media for treating Hillary as if "she'd robbed a bank" for suggesting that she dodged sniper fire in 1996. More »
- Bill's Bills Cost US a Record $8M
  
  newser | Politico | Apr 11, 08 4:37 AM CDT
  
  Bill Clinton is costing taxpayers significantly more in publicly funded perks than the two other surviving former presidents, reports Politico. From 2001 through the end of this year, $8 million will be spent on Bill Clinton, compared with $5.5 million for George H. W. Bush and $4 million for Jimmy Carter during the same period. A big chunk goes to lifelong secret service protection, pension, staff and travel expenses. More »
- Chelsea Thesis May Clarify Hillary's Role in Irish Peace
  
  newser | Newsweek | Apr 6, 08 2:45 PM CDT
  
  While Hillary Clinton stands accused of exaggerating her part in the 1998 Irish peace process, the answer might lie in an unlikely 150-page document—Chelsea Clinton's senior thesis from Stanford. Only problem? No one seems to know where it's gone, Newsweek reports, and a Clinton spokesman warns it was "written to satisfy an academic requirement—not media curiosity." More »
- Clintons Made $109M Since 2000
  
  newser | Politico | Apr 4, 08 5:55 PM CDT

  newser | San Francisco Chronicle | Apr 2, 08 4:42 PM CDT
  
  Bill Clinton surprised a group of 15 California superdelegates with an angry rant about Bill Richardson’s endorsement of Obama, media bias, and the calls for Hillary to drop out, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. A finger-pointing Bill vented about his old friend: “Five times to my face he said that he would never do that.” Said one delegate who was present last weekend, “It was one of the worst political meetings I have ever attended.” More »

- Chelsea Draws the Monica Query
  
  newser | Los Angeles Times | Mar 27, 08 10:15 AM CDT
  
  “Presumably, the question had to come at some point,” write the LA Times ’ Andrew Malcolm and Mark Silva, but Chelsea Clinton dealt with an audience query on Monica Lewinsky “quite neatly” yesterday. The question came at the end of an Indiana college appearance when a man asked if Bill’s notorious affair had hurt Hillary’s credibility. More »
- They're Just Not That Into You
  
  newser | Guardian (UK) | Mar 24, 08 8:52 PM CDT
  
  The Clinton-Obama slugfest resembles the “drawn-out and painful break-up of a relationship,' Michael Tomasky writes in the Guardian —and the sparring couple might be on its last rounds. "Mark down May 7," he suggests. "That's the date by which Clinton should be one of two things: a, the possible nominee after all; or, b, out of the race." More »
- Pa. Voters Like Tried-and-True Clinton Name
  
  newser | Politico | Mar 23, 08 4:12 PM CDT
  
  Keystone state voters prefer old-school to bling, Politico reports—which is why they favor Hillary Clinton by 12 points in the state's April 22 primary. “If you are going to introduce a brand new product, you don’t come to Pennsylvania,” one analyst said. “We are much more about heritage than cutting edge here.” Hillary has the heritage: Her father grew up there, and her last name has already hit the ballot twice thanks to husband Bill.

- Obama Backer Compares Clinton to McCarthy
  
  newser | Associated Press | Mar 22, 08 6:33 AM CDT
  
  A retired Air Force general yesterday compared Bill Clinton to red-baiting Sen. Joe McCarthy, after Clinton made comments that seemed to question Barack Obama's patriotism. The former president said at a North Carolina rally, "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country, and people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude."

- Bill Clinton Welcomed Wright
  
  newser | Politico | Mar 21, 08 8:06 AM CDT
  
  Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor was twice invited to the Clinton White House with groups of influential clergy, Politico reports, demonstrating that he is not the fringe figure he's been made out to be in the recent flap over his views. A photograph of Jeremiah Wright with Bill Clinton was posted by an anonymous blog supporting his church and has been distributed elsewhere, including the New York Times , courtesy of the Obama campaign.

- First Lady Skeds Were Sanitized
  
  newser | Newsweek | Mar 20, 08 2:12 PM CDT
  
  Schedules from Hillary Clinton’s time as first lady don’t reveal much, Newsweek reports. The mound of documents consists only of her public engagements, rather than her private calendar, meaning many potentially revealing details are left out. The thousands of pages don’t, for example, mention her four-hour Whitewater testimony—but do note her appearance on Oprah the same month. More »
