Wall Street Journal: [Bill] Clinton used Expletive in 'Unpleasant'
Conversation with Clyburn:

From a story in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal:

Among the party leaders Mr. Clinton alienated over time by his angry tirades was South Carolina's Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking House leader and a civil-rights-movement veteran.

Before South Carolina's primary, Mr. Clyburn admonished Sen. Clinton for suggesting President Johnson deserved more credit than Martin Luther King Jr. for civil-rights laws. On primary night, Mr. Clinton called Mr. Clyburn and they spoke for 50 minutes. "Let's just say it wasn't pleasant," Mr. Clyburn says.

Mr. Clinton called Mr. Clyburn an expletive, say Democrats familiar with the exchange. Mr. Clyburn's office would confirm only that the former president used "offensive" words. Some day soon, the congressman says, he'll write about the incident. On Tuesday, he endorsed Mr. Obama for president.

Did Bill Call Representative Cyburn the N word?

The Wall Street Journal is also dignifying rumors that Bill Clinton
had a recent affair with the actress Gina Gershon. Clinton's
possible "inappropriate relationship" with Gershon is mentioned in
the June Vanity Fair article:

The best offer, and I repeat this just for the sake of party unity. Hillary gets to be Senate majority leader, just for the sake of party unity. No cabinet position and absolutely not the Veep! Take it or leave it Clintonistas!

Ambassador to Lithuania?

Hillary should receive no offers of leadership positions that might handcuff Obama later on. Hillary would be a poor choice for Senate leadership for the same reason that Harry Reid makes a good one. He doesn't have a huge ego and can work with others. He hasn't made a ton of enemies either.

How about Governor of Puerto Rico, the 51st State?

HarperLee

I would go with this.

She never cared about Puerto Rico before, but she was down there campaigning, promising to make their votes count in general elections. She seemed to get off on the Christian-infused latino music.

Of course, she is probably still furious that only 3 or 4 hundred thousand out of millions turned out to vote. They might be afraid of her.

When I consider that probably a third of the Puerto Rico are below 18, (down to 2.7 million adults) and that half of those would prefer to be part of the US and wouldn't vote (down to 1.35 million), and that probably half of those people might actually care about who wins the Democratic PRIMARY (down to 675,000), I think 400,000 people is a very nice chunk of voters.

Dammit, you have to stop being rational. Clinton has not yet conceded,
gone out back and hung herself from a tree, so the irrelevant thrashing
must continue.

I wasn't disappointed. The Clinton campaign was disappointed.
Tell them.

I know you weren't disappointed. I was just saying.
