Linda Tripp crawls out of her hole, tells Breitbart radio Bill had affairs with "thousands" of women

and naturally, Drudge is making this hilariously bad Wilt Chamberlain-esque fanfic his lead

"In a rare interview, Linda Tripp, a pivotal figure in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, revealed on Sunday it was common knowledge while she worked in the West Wing that Bill Clinton had affairs with “thousands of women.”

Speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” Tripp for the first time divulged that she personally knew another White House staffer aside from Lewinsky who was also having an affair with Clinton. That unnamed staffer was mentioned by Tripp in various depositions but she has not spoken about it publicly.

She charged that Hillary Clinton not only knew about her husband’s exploits, “She made it her personal mission to disseminate information and destroy the women with whom he dallied.”"


Yes, "thousands" of women coming in and out of a Secret Service protected White House day and night. That sounds totally probable.

----

In other crazy Clinton conspiracy news, Juanita is back as well, running to Breitbart Radio and proving once again that she has zero credibility (and, again, Drudge is pushing this nonsense front and center).

Her latest version of her constantly-changing story:

(I'm not giving them traffic by linking)

"She's changed her story a dozen times already, but now, she suddenly, magically remembers that Bill was "stalking" her:

She says that within a few weeks after Clinton allegedly raped her, he started to call her repeatedly with the aim of meeting again.

“I was shocked to say the least that he would have the audacity to call me after what he did to me,” Broaddrick said, speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” the popular Sunday night radio program.

She said that just a few weeks after the 1978 alleged sexual assault, “He called the nursing home that I owned and they patched the call through to my office and I didn’t know that it was him. And he immediately said, ‘Hi, this is Bill Clinton. I was just wondering when you were coming back to Little Rock again.’"


This garbage is being pushed hard by the crackpot right, and picked up by Trump and then regurgiatated by hacks like Halperin on MSNBC (where he absurdly claimed there was no difference between Clinton and Bill Cosby).

Should the Clintons hit back? Joe Conason's "The Hunting of the President" pretty much lays out the case to take this smear down, and shows how all these accusations were part of an orchestrated effort by rightwing operatives and the Arkansas Project.

I realize they feel, by acknowledging it, are they giving it more attention and furthering it. But the rightwing whisper campaign is already there, and it's spreading to the mainstream.

Since she claimed George HW Bush was screwing around too?

BTW, Aaron Klein has a long record of dubiously sourced stories himself.

Stickin': The Case for Loyalty

Amazon.com Review
Democratic political consultant James Carville returns with a book that promises "not a lot of highfalutin philosophizing" on the subject of loyalty. Stickin' is largely a response to the Monica Lewinsky scandal and President Clinton's impeachment, a period during which Carville ruthlessly defended the man he helped elect to the White House in 1992. Carville says Clinton was "a grown man acting stupid with a young woman" and comments that "in my world, you don't abandon a guy over sex." The predicament recalls a famous quote by 19th-century British prime minister Lord Melbourne (dutifully cited by Carville). A colleague told Melbourne, "I will support you as long as you are in the right." Melbourne replied: "What I want is men who support me when I am in the wrong." Carville considers this level of loyalty a lost virtue. "Nowhere in the entire world is disloyalty more rewarded and rewarded well than in Washington," he writes. Stickin' is a highly partisan book, full of cantankerous, sometimes funny, and occasionally unfair attacks on Republicans, which will delight Democratic readers who have cackled their way through Carville's previous bestsellers, We're Right, They're Wrong and ...And the Horse He Rode in On. It's a slim book with a simple message: "Stick with your friends. And stick it to your enemies." --John J. Miller

I suppose one woman a day for the eight years he was in office would come to over 2000. And he still found time to do his job, which IMHO is more important.

if she was actively involved in intimidating, threatening or discrediting his accusers. I'm not saying she actually did any of this, I honestly have no idea, but that's the big issue she'll have and so you know someone was going to accuse her of it.

Not good enough at video editing to make this work but this was all I could think about when I heard "thousands".

HRC may or may not be my favorite but at some point in time Linda, ya gots to let it go. There are people who will vote that weren't alive when this historical event occurred. Let it f'ing go.

Or else an instance of a lonely, angry woman that resents not being in the public eye for two decades, and thinks Hillary's candidacy will land her a few more paid articles and TV appearances. I'm sure Fox Noise is only too willing to comply.
