Purdum Pulls The Trigger 
The latest on Bill “my office is in Harlem” Clinton’s adventures is served up in Vanity Fair‘s July issue by the magazine’s own star map of Washington, Todd Purdum.
It’s a delightful medley of old scandal and new.
Reviewing Clinton pants-down matters, Purdum reports on “… recent high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip that Clinton has been seen visiting with the actress Gina Gershon in California,” but Gawker had this almost six months ago.
Purdum does better provoking post presidential spokesman Jay Carson on Clinton pal and billionaire boys club headmaster Ron Burkle. Carson reveals a longing for the opposition’s Fuhrer Principle:
“The ills of the Democratic Party can be seen perfectly in the willingness of fellow Democrats to say bad things about President Clinton. If you ask any Republican about Reagan they will say he still makes the sun rise in the morning, but if you ask Democrats about their only two-term president in 80 years, a man who took the party from the wilderness of loserdom to the White House and created the strongest economy in American history, they’d rather be quoted saying what a reporter wants to hear than protect a strong brand for the party. Republicans look at this behavior and laugh at us.â€
A thorough reading of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal leads Purdum to conclude Clinton is asking for bad press.
“But it is also beyond dispute that Clinton has blended the altruistic efforts of his philanthropy with the private business interests of some of his biggest donors in ways that are surpassingly sloppy, if not unseemly, for any former president.”
Purdum’s catchall excuse for differentiating Clinton from the cash which flowed to former president’s Reagan, Bush, and Ford is that “their wives never ran for president,” as though Clinton coverage only started with Hillary’s run. The current White House occupant goes unmentioned, along with Barbara Bush using the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund as a pass-through to troubled son Neil.
Mama Tried 
Watch It! 
From the first, the stakes could not have been higher:
“Because Mrs. Clinton seeks our nation’s highest office and may well be the next President of the United States, the public interest weighs heavily in favor of enjoining the Library from continuing to withhold the records at issue.â€
And so the judicial activists of Judicial Watch launched their quest, only the latest chapter in their decades long quest to prove something somehow on the Clintons.
But they were late to the party.
Judicial Watch’s document request to the National Archives’ Clinton Presidential Library came after many others, and 
dwarfed any request for presidential papers, ever.
The Watchers sought to focus on the UFO requester in line before them, but now a federal judge has ruled that rushing Judicial Watch’s request out of the archives would hurt the people in front of them.
“Judicial Watch must abide by the kindergarten commandment to wait one’s turn,” U.S. District Judge James Robertson said.”
Future Ford Afloat! 
Who’d a thunk we’d turn to ESPN’s “Tuesday Morning Quarterback” to point out oddities at sea, but Gregg Easterbrook is on to something peculiar in the Navy’s naming schemes.
The troubled USS Gerald Ford, paired with Reagan and Bush Sr. ships, sent him over the edge.
“TMQ finds repugnant this blatant Pentagon favoritism for Republicans. Gerald Ford was never elected to national office: he was appointed to the vice presidency, then became president by succession when Richard Nixon resigned. The never-elected, half-term Ford will have a supercarrier named for him while Clinton, a two-term president twice chosen by U.S. voters, does not.”
Bush Is Gear 
A groundswell [or tsunami?] for Gerry is difficult to detect. The wingers at Newsmax ran petitions to name the ship for Ford, even touting USS Ford caps. Their site is Ford-free of merchandise now, if it ever carried it.
And lest we forget, the USS John F.Kennedy was retired last year.
You Complete Me 
The Clinton Library opened in 2004 with incessant bridge imagery physical and rhetorical, but some disgruntled locals claim something is missing: a bridge.
Build Our Bridge claims the Library agreed to renovate a nearby railroad bridge as a condition of acquiring city property. References to the bridge’s glossy future do litter the landscape, it even got a mention in the failed Baylor University bid for the George W. Bush Presidential Library.
The Clinton Library still says bridge repair is in the works, and they continue to sell 
l stone markers to finance the project.
By happy coincidence the public face of the bridge builders is Gene Pfeifer, whose land was seized by Little Rock while assembling the Clinton project property.
Gap Years 
Just Because 
The already Clinton-crazed kids at Judicial Watch face further proof that the world is against them. Their endless litigation to force someone, anyone, to disclose, admit, or just fess up to Hillary Clinton’s dark deeds has stalled.
A major hangup is the vastness of their National Archives requests colliding with practical limits to how fast Archives can shuffle Clinton, or any, papers.
“At an estimated three million pages, the size and scope of Judicial Watch’s present FOIA request makes it the largest FOIA request that the Clinton presidential library has received to date…Further, the request is greater than any FOIA request ever received to date at any of the presidential record act libraries.“
Archives handles requests first come, first serve, and in line ahead of The Watchers are a different species of crank. Grant Cameron trolls the Clinton and other Presidential Library files for proof of UFOs. 
And “The Mainstream Media’s Lonely UFU Blog” reports Cameron is poised to further annoy The Watchers. He’s endorsing Hillary Clinton as best on the little green men question.
“She … would be the most fearless individual to find and take on the secret UFO cabalâ€
