Everyone here knows I love love love Bill Cinton but he is in the serious dog house with me. I pretended all day long that he wasn’t in hot water….but I couldn’t deny the pictures.
It seems that Bill Clinton was in Monnaco over Clinton Foundation business. According to the huffintonpost.com:
Former President Bill Clinton struck a pose with a duo of porn stars and another buxom blonde this week while attending an extravagant gala at a Monte Carlo casino.
Brooklyn Lee, recipient of Adult Video News’ “Best New Starlet” award — seen on the right — tweeted the following picture.
Now, could he have been approached and asked to have his picture taken? Yes. Or he could have just been chatting it up with the ladies. Regardless, having that picture displayed all over the world is disrespectful to his wife. Hillary is a very respected Secretary of State, by in her own right. She does not need “Zippy” to do anything to embarrass her.
Bill, you are the former President of the United States. Some of us excused you once. Hurt Hillary again and we will hurt you. Stop being the Viagra Kid and behave yourself. You know better. take a chaperone if that is the best you can do!
I refuse to post the picture.

And I resisted MIGHTILY is posting a link to the article when I found it.
Is it just me, or has Bill lost weight. He looks positively scrawny around the neck.
“benefit for the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the William J. Clinton Foundation held at the Hotel de Paris.”
What kind of benefit has “B” list porn stars at it? And to give him the benefit of the doubt, did he know that they were porn stars?
Maybe he just likes to accommodate the ladies that ask to take a picture with him.
That happens all the time. 😉

I miss Bubba. In Bubba’s defense, I don’t think he knew who that was.
I don’t think he knew either but he needs to guard against that sort of thing, perhaps more carefully than others. He had his one big screw up.
Do we all agree that it is disrespectful to his wife?
yes, he is scrawny. Cargo gets an A for self control.
Bill is my hero and I want him to do better. I heard he didn’t know who they were but he needs to find out. I immediately looked to see where his hands were.
Is that really Bill Clinton in the photo or one of those cardboard things with which people pay to have their photos made?

In particular, see 1:48. If the Clinton photo is real this is likely what’s going on in their home.
Seriously, Bill Clinton nearly died from heart disease and went on a special vegetarian diet. He has lost a lot of weight and credits the diet with saving his life.
I hadn’t thought a out the cardboard cut out. I hope I don’t have to apologize to him.
They may be porn stars, true, but I dont’ see why they should have any less right to a picture with the President. It wasn’t like he was attending a porn convention. Did he even know what they did for a living? They look like typical attractive women to me. Nothing to worry about folks. looks like a typical photo op.
Now I am really worried and will spend much more time prepping this weekend. We all agree. The end is near. Bill gets a pass on this one.
That said, do you really think it was an innocent incident? I suspect foul play. This did nothing but remind us all of his and our history in a week when even the democratic talking heads were openly “asking” for Biden and Hillory to switch roles. Now the consensus seems to be that such a switch would be viewed as panic.
one looks like a female impersonator to me.
What, no cigar?
I must agree with Moon here. Bill may be an ex-pres. He may be a Democrat Party icon. But he should be a husband and father first. He needs to be especially mindful of of his past, and not let it further impact his wife’s future. She stood by him when she could have left him and assumed the role of “wronged spouse”, and played this for her own benefit. Whether out of genuine love for the man, or a political calculation, she stood by him. I don’t care if they were pornstars, staffers, or some other attendees. He dallied with a young staffer, and it cost him part of his legacy. Hillary’s a woman of a certain age, and more importantly, his wife. She’s earned his humility and his respect.
Cheer Oy Vey! It might even be a paper cut out of him. If that is the case, that was very wrong of someone to do.
I am all about protecting Hillary. She has done a great job for the country and has endured enough public humilation. Clinton’s neck looks too scrawny. I am going to go with NTK’s opinion that it is a cardboard cut out. If that is the case, I can put come out of the woodshed. No public spanking today, folks.
Jeez. I hate to make it look like I disagree with Moon on almost anything but come on… If I were the ex-POTUS why wouldn’t I take that picture??
Guess it’s my latino machismo.
Cigar..HAHAHAHAHA..
@marinm
Yeah, where were his Secret Service folks during all of this?
@Oy Vey
I’m with Oy Vey and Moon here, assuming the photo is not a fake of some sort. I’m still not convinced it’s real. A former president should adhere to a standard of dignity and respect much higher than the rest of us. If one of us on this blog does or says something stupid, it doesn’t reflect on the entire nation. That’s different than former presidents.
Also, Hillary is a very likely nominee for the Democrats in 2016. She’s worked hard to build respect and credibility, and Bill shouldn’t be carrying on in any way to diminish her chances of winning.
That said, I’m not likely to support her. I’m going to be a strong supporter of a second term for President Romney, but Bill owes Hillary his support and good behavior when she runs.
And looking at the picture, that is no fake. Add to this, no denial or claims that it’s fake from the clinton’s or the administration.
I suppose it’s conceivable that “they” are fake….but the photo? It is not fake.
I’m guessing the Secret Service has already had their meeting with Miss Massive Boobs 8.
@SlowpokeRodriguez
Now that’s funny!
My guess is they were avoiding any woman who might be an “escort”, considering the recent troubles.

If the 1st-hand account is accurate, we can conclude the following:
1. Bill still has some character issues to deal with
2. Porn stars aren’t all that bright.
I expect Bill will always be one of those people who needs those around him to adore him. While that might not change, he needs to figure out a way be adored without hurting his wife. As much as I like Bill Clinton, I think my respect for Hillary has grown so much over the past 3 years that I am willing to slap down my favorite pres if need be.
I am going to pretend the ladies aren’t being totally honest and that it was a photo op and Bill didn’t know their occupation. That way I can have a better day.
Bill Clinton, porn stars and the Secret Service. We all know that nothing possibly could go wrong with that combination.
You have to admit….Slick Willie looks very peaceful in that photo! The first black president….he’s a playa!! I’ve been reading around the comments on this photo…and I’m happy to see so many “man, I wish we had him in the White House now” comments. People aren’t as dumb as I thought.

@Cato the Elder
Now THAT’s funny!
It was a fundraiser for his foundation and the Prince of Monocao. People pay good money to attend and I imagine there is the expectation you get a picture with the president. I just don’t see the nefarious nature in this one. I don’t know you you politely tell people they are not allowed to take a picture with you if they are a guest. How is he to know two of them are in the porn industry?
What’s the big deal? The “actresses” were invited to the bash by Marc Bell,
owner of Penthouse Magazine who, it is said, is a supporter of GOP presidential
candidate, Mitt Romney. Furthermore, they were dressed (sorta).
How would Clinton have known they were porn actresses? When a person like Clinton is out in public, a lot of people want to be photographed with him. Shoot, people even put babes in his arms for a photo op.
I guess Elena doesn’t want Bill to have to sit in the naughty chair.
I still do. He has secret service to field those things rather than encourage.
Hillary doesn’t need to be distracted by this sort of thing whether real or imaginary.
@punchak
As a clarification, the article I read said also that Mr. Bell was a supporter of Mr. Romney, and I thought it odd that the article would point it out. I came to realize that it was putting his comments supporting Mr. Clinton into context–that it wasn’t some political stunt to embarrass democrats. Leaving the fact that Mr. Bell supported Mr. Clinton out of the statement appears to imply even if unintentionally that Mr. Bell did it to embarrass the former president, which was not the case.
I did not want people to get the wrong idea.
I’m with you. Even if he did know they were porn stars, so what? Bill’s not allowed to watch porn just because he was once President? Everyone in America knows he’s a hound dog anyway so I don’t see the big deal here.
I looked, and even enlarged the photo, but I cannot see the Porn Star tatoo on any of the woman (supposedly, only two are porn stars). I fail to see the significance.
There probably isn’t. I was just trying to be fair and balanced. I always take Clinton’s side. I am sure this isn’t the first time he has skipped down that late before.
