Bill Clinton: 'It's The Most Biased Press Coverage in History'

It's one of those ironies about this election that I've blogged about before.
Bill Clinton was accustomed to being loved by the media. He was once the
"change" candidate that the media adored in the 1992 election. His wife is
now being compared to a Republican and being covered like one also. He is
not the media darling anymore and he's not happy. Hence, his fiery reaction
to the a scathing piece in Vanity Fair. Here's what he told Huffington Post
poster, Mayhill Fowler, today:

"You know he didn't use a single name, cite a single source in all those
things he said. It's just slimy. It's part of the national media's attempt
to nail Hillary for Obama. It's the most biased press coverage in history.
It's another way of helping Obama. They had all these people standing
up in this church cheering, calling Hillary a white racist, and he didn't do
anything about it. The first day he said 'Ah, ah, ah well.' Because that's
what they do-- he gets other people to slime her. So then they saw the
movie they thought this is a great ad for John McCain-- maybe I better
quit the church. It's all politics. It's all about the bias of the media for
Obama. Don't think anything about it."

My, how things do change, indeed.
