Bill Clinton: Purdum a "Sleazy" "Slimy" "Scumbag"
Former President Bill Clinton today unleashed a salty stream of epithets to describe former New York Times reporter and current Vanity Fair writer Todd Purdum, calling him "sleazy," "dishonest," "slimy" and a "scumbag." The former president made the comment at a local campaign event after I asked him if Purdum's much-commented upon Vanity Fair story was weighing on his mind.

Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate
Holy crap! according to abc news " John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker" I think this makes it pretty clear we're not going to see Edwards as a VP candidate next month - or probably ever on the ticket ever again.

The producer of "Girls Gone Wild" offered to drop a cool million in the lap of former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's favorite hooker a day after it was revealed she slapped him with a $10 million suit.

Upcoming 'Law & Order' episode ripped from Eliot Spitzer headlines
Call it "Law & Order: Luv Gov." That's right, the crime show has started casting for an episode loosely based on Spitzer-gate, featuring a disgraced politician caught in a wild sex scandal. We originally heard the episode was set to run on the series arm "Special Victims Unit." Which means it would probably contain some dead hookers. But now a source close to the show says it will run on the original "Law & Order," probably before the end of this season. A rep for the show declined to comment, telling

Eliot Spitzer's "Kristen" speaks out on her MySpace page
"Kristen", aka Ashley Alexandra Dupre, has a MySpace page (of course, who doesn't), and this is what she says there: "I am all about my music, and my music is all about me… It flows from what I’ve been through, what I’ve seen and how I feel. I live in New York and am on top of the world. Been here since 2004 and I love this city, I love my life here. But, my path has not been easy. When I was 17, I left home.
