R. Emmett Tyrrell, editor of The American Spectator, says that
Todd Purdum's Vanity Fair article was not
original:
"Seventeen anecdotes and ideas are clearly lifted from
my book,
The Clinton Crack-Up," states Mr. Tyrrell. "Mr.
Purdum's article did not make reference to the book
once."
No wonder
Bubba called Dee Dee Myers' husband "slimy." Purdum's
suggestion of an affair between Clinton and actress Gina Gershon
results in a
threat from Ms. Gershon's lawyer:
Through the innuendo-laden assertion that Ms. Gershon
has been "visiting" with President Clinton in California, [Purdum]
outrageously insinuates that Ms. Gershon has had an inappropriate
sexual relationship with President Clinton. This is absolutely
false. . . . We demand publication of a retraction and correction.
. . .
The truth . . . is that Ms. Gershon has only been in the same room
as President Clinton on three occasions, during which she was
always in the presence of anywhere from approximately a dozen
people to several hundred or more.
So much for that rumor, I suppose. Perhaps
Vanity Fair
confused
Gina Gershon the actress with
Nina
Gershon, the federal judge whom Clinton appointed in 1995? But
let's not start any new rumors.
