Luke Burbank pegged it on Too Beautiful To Live (TBTL). He called the tale appearing in Vanity Fair, about which Bill Clinton is apparently livid, "A one-way ticket to Crunktown."
The fast-paced, depressing, and pretty danged interesting story with the subtitles "Bubba Trouble" and "The Comeback Id" appears here."
After reading this story, I just want to give a shout out to Scooter, a long time reader. It's almost a crime you didn't write this VF story! You've been ranting about this for years now, most of it, as it turns out, depressingly spot on. I don't know how much a smear piece the Vanity Fair piece is. . .or if it is 100% verifiable, but. . .whew! Party on Mister President!
At least Dick Nixon went on to write eight books, advise every single President who followed him, and for one thing, in office, helped pry open the doors to China and Russia. Dick Nixon helped our world get just a little bit closer even in "retirement", and you waded into your wife's ill-fated Presidential campaign with anger and racially coded messages, and angry outbursts all along the campaign trail, from cocktail parties, to rally to $5,000 a plate dinners, and apparently some extremely "fast company."
