First Lady's ex caught in Underground Drug and Sex Ring

Little Rock (AP) - First Lady Hillary Rodham Leibowitz claimed no knowledge to the extent of her first husband's legal problems. Billy Jeff Blythe was arrested Thursday for narcotics possession and intent to procure sexual favors for money.

According to Little Rock police, Blythe was leaving his job as a saxophone player at the Super 8 hotel lounge and began speaking to a female undercover police officer in the hotel parking lot. The officer, Lt. Paula Jones, was working an undercover sting to catch "Johns" trying to pay for sexual favors. According to Lt. Jones, Blythe attempted to lure her back to his trailer and introduce her to some friends. He then opened the front of his pants and asked her to "kiss it." Police surrounded Blythe and arrested him immediately. Upon court order, the police then searched Mr. Blythe's trailer and found over a kilogram of cocaine and some marijuana. Mr. Blythe was released on bail Friday morning. The bond was posted by longtime friend, Web Hubbell.

Ms. Leibowitz divorced Blythe in 1988 stating that "He didn't quite have the drive."

Bill Clinton is my favorite golf partner. He can't play a lick, but does absolutely anything to win and when he gets caught he can talk himself out of any tight spot. After golf, I can just hang around with Bill and maybe pick up one of his groupies--I don't know how the man does it, but he has an incredible way with women. He's unbelievably crude and forward, but it seems to work. He gets his face slapped every now and then, but he doesn't mind.

Bill moved to Baton Rouge 15 or twenty years ago from Arkansas, where he had some success as a politician. Apparently, there was some sort of ugliness in one of his elections that involved accusations of rape of a campaign volunteer, maybe it was a contributor. His first job in Louisiana was with one of the Democrats running for Governor--I don't remember which one. He rose pretty quickly in the ranks of

Louisiana political consultants. The joke used to be that if you hired Bill and James Carville as consultants, you could elect a damnyankee Governor of Louisiana, and that was before James got Jim Guy Tucker elected President back in '92.

Bill rarely talks about his "ex," and then, only to blame her for ruining his political career. The best part is the ex is now married to Gingrich of Georgia and has pushed him into running for President--supposedly, she's brains behind his conservative ideas. They've hired Carville. Bill is working for Joe Leiberman, the Democrat front-runner, for free. Nader's got a chance.

NICE (Reuters) August 14, 1987 -- The French police have arrested William Blythe, 41, an itinerant saxophonist and alleged confidence artist, in the bizarre kidnap saga of Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

A police spokesperson described Blythe as the Princess' right-hand man in the scheme, which also involved the indiscreet manipulation of the Bourse in addition to the previously-exposed faked kidnappings and charity scams.

Blythe, also known as Bill Clinton, Will Durant, and Willie B. is apparently an American Rhodes Scholar who has remained in Europe for nearly two decades.

Blythe has apparently retained the well-known celebrity lawyer, Hillary Rodham Giuliani of New York, who released a statement claiming that Blythe "is just a pawn who got himself mixed up the princess' Moriartyesque schemes. He's never been able to stand up to strong women."

Spokespeople for the Principality again refused to comment.
