Did Bubba Go All Shaq on Obama?
On the way into work this morning, I heard reports on the radio that Bill Clinton had said Barack Obama would have to "kiss my ass" if he wanted the former president's help in the campaign. And immediately, all I could think of was Bill taking the place of Shaq up at the microphone in that infamous rap ...
"Hillary can't do it without me; Hillary can't do it without me; Hillary can't do it without me. Hey Barack, tell me how my @$$ tastes ... "
Alas, as they say, if a story is too good to be true, it usually is. Turns out the source was the British press -- always a red flag. And if you read the story, it's a quote of an anonymous source quoting another anonymous source supposedly quoting Bill. Which is to say, this story ain't worth the paper it's printed on.
Still, the also anonymously sourced Clinton denial of the story has some comedic value. Bill's defense, reportedly, is that he doesn't talk that way.
Funny, that's not how Paula Jones remembers things ...
