In an embarrassment to Presidential hopeful Ms Hillary Clinton’s despondent campaign, an article has claimed that the aides of her husband, former President Mr Bill Clinton, believe his 2004 heart surgery fundamentally altered his state of min d and that he is constantly in rage.
The article to be published in Vanity Fair, and already posted on the magazine’s Web site also questions some of Mr Clinton’s business dealings and behaviour since leaving the White House.
"Old friends and longtime aides are wringing their hands over Mr Bill Clinton’s post White House escapades, from the dubious (and secretive) business associations to the media blowups that have bruised his wife’s campaign, to the private-jetting around w ith a skirt-chasing, scandal-tinged posse," the article said.
Some, it said, point to Mr Clinton’s medical traumas; others blame sheer selfishness, and the absence of anyone who can say ’no,’ it added.
It also asserts that several of his aides were concerned about reports of his inappropriate behaviour during his travels and one of them unsuccessfully attempted to intervene, believing he was "apparently seeing a lot of women on the road."
The Clinton campaign immediately hit back, saying the theory was flatly rejected as ’false’ by his doctors, who say he is in excellent health and point to his vigorous schedule as evidence of his exceptional recovery.
Mr Bill Clinton also lashed out at journalist Todd Purdum, who wrote the article, for bringing negative attention to his wife’s candidature campaign, calling him a ’sleazy’, ’slimy’ and ’dishonest’ reporter, Huffington Post said. - PTI
