How The Clintons Lost Geffen

February 24, 2007 -- IT isn't just presidential politics that has David Geffen bad-mouthing Sen. Hillary Clinton and throwing his support behind Sen. Barack Obama.

Sources say the diminutive movie mogul is motivated by jealousy because his old friend Bill Clinton now prefers the company of supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle. Geffen's animosity is also fueled by Burkle's attempt to buy the Los Angeles Times, which Geffen had wanted to purchase for himself. ....

Another Democratic source scoffed at Geffen's explanation for his disenchantment with Bill Clinton, (GEFFEN's) attributing it to Clinton's pardon of tax fugitive Marc Rich while failing to pardon American Indian activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted of murdering two FBI agents.

"I never believed the pardon was the issue," said this politico. "Geffen is looking for a platform. He's frustrated and bitter. He's got all these billions, but he's still trying to prove his relevance."
