Drudge Mentions Unfounded Rumor; Now the Rest of Us Are Free To Talk About It

Jesse Walker | November 26, 2007

Those Hillary rumors have finally entered the mainstream media, or at least the British papers and The Drudge Report. Sen. Clinton is alleged to be having an affair with her personal assistant. The Shyamalanesque twist: Her assistant is a woman!

This isn't the first lesbianism rumor to attach itself to the Democratic frontrunner. In the '90s, a certain sort of right-winger loved to lean in and tell you confidently that Bill Clinton had walked in on his wife having sex with Night Court's Markie Post. Appropriately, the rumor swung both ways: Another version had Hillary walking in on Bill with Markie Post. I assume the actual incident involved Warren Christopher and John Larroquette. You know how these things get exaggerated.
