Bill Clinton Gives Interview to Former Foe

By Patrick Healy
Bill Clinton Gives Interview to Former FoeCover of Newsmax.

File this under Dept. of Strange Bedfellows: Former President Bill Clinton has apparently granted an interview to Chris Ruddy, a one-time archenemy of the Clintons who now runs the conservative publication Newsmax.

Mr. Ruddy is perhaps best known as the author of “The Strange Death of Vincent Foster,” a book about the suicide of the close Clinton friend and former law partner of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. The book, among other things, left the impression for many readers that the Clintons joined in a cover-up surrounding Mr. Foster’s death.

Yet in the years since Mr. Clinton left the White House, Mr. Ruddy has had a change of heart about the former president, as The Times’s David D. Kirkpatrick reported in February.

“Clinton wasn’t such a bad president,” Mr. Ruddy told Mr. Kirkpatrick. “In fact, he was a pretty good president in a lot of ways.”

The interview, which can be read online here , isn’t terribly newsy. The most interesting aspect, really, are all the warm-hearted and deferential questions that a former bete noire puts to Mr. Clinton. At one point, though, Mr. Clinton does make clear that the couple is not offering themselves to voters as a “two-for-one” again.

Newsmax: Turning for a moment to the presidential race, polls show that voters, especially Democrats, see you as a big positive to Hillary’s presidential candidacy. Are we getting “two for the price of one” this time around?

Clinton: I will certainly do anything I can to help her, but there can only be one president. If Hillary is elected, she will make the decisions. So in that respect, a vote for Hillary is just that – a vote for the strongest candidate with the most experience to lead this country back to prosperity, to advance our security and increase our cooperation with others on problems we can’t solve alone. I’m honored that people see me as an asset to her candidacy, and if she’s elected I will do whatever she asks me to do.
