Democrat Fratricide: Bill Clinton reacts with fury to unflattering Vanity Fair portrait
The Office of President Bill Clinton responded with fury Sunday to a Vanity Fair article that attacks the former president and suggests he is out of control personally and consumed by “cavernous narcissism.” . . .

Purdum suggests that in the years since Clinton left the White House $12 million in debt, he has been caught up in a world of rich friends, adoring fans and borrowed jets. The article quotes one former aide calling Clinton’s current associates like billionaire Ron Burkle and movie producer Stephen Bing “radioactive.” The aide says Clinton’s associates are compounding worries that the 61-year-old former president is running with a fast crowd. . . .

“There’s an anger in him that I find surprising. There seems to be an abiding anger in him, and not just the summer thunderstorms of old. He has been called into question repeatedly by top staff,” a former aide to both Bill and Hillary Clinton told Purdum.

More devastating is Purdum’s claim that about 18 months ago, a former Clinton aide tried an intervention with the former president because he was hearing so many complaints about inappropriate behavior. According to the article, the aide believed “Clinton was apparently seeing a lot of women on the road.”

Purdum wrote that the aide was rebuffed by advisers close to Clinton, never got to speak directly with him, and the attempted intervention was not well received by either Clinton.

#1 Interesting if Hillary's extended run at the White House kills all the good will Bill has with the left and endangers his legacy.

#2 The Office of President Bill Clinton..

The office of former President Bill Clinton. More than a little Freudian slip here? We don't have a schism with two presiding rulers. There is only one President of the United States at anyone time.
