Gennifer Flowers to auction off phone tapes and publish "explosive story"
Gennifer Flowers is putting the tapes of her recorded conversations with Bill Clinton during their 12-year affair on the auction block, Vegas Confidential learned Monday.

Flowers, who came forward during Clinton's 1992 Presidential election campaign with details of the relationship, said she decided to part with the tapes after renewed interest surfaced. She was offered $5 million by a Japanese collector in the 1990s, she said.

Asked about the timing of her announcement coming out as Hillary Clinton continues to slide in her presidential bid, “I don’t need to hurt Hillary. She is doing a fine job of that herself, along with her idiot husband. Karma is an interesting thing. If these two don’t get elected, and they are a team, it will be karma coming back to visit them. It's about time."

When President Clinton denied the relationship during his presidential campaign, Flowers called a press conference played what she said were secretly recorded phone conversations.

-snip

Flowers is also exploring a new book with "explosive story additions to the Clinton affair," her publicist Bruce Merrin said in a release. The book "will contain a special item which must remain a protected secret until the book is published."

1. Coming out of the woodwork just like clockwork
It is truly amazing how these people suddenly show up at election time.

11. I believe that Linda Tripp is due for another nose job.
I really enjoyed watching Tanya Harding beat the shit out of Paula Jones.

34. Well, this might be her last chance to sell them, after all.
They won't be worth as much if Obama wins the nomination.

2. Business as usual for the rethugs - This isn't right (from an Obama supporter)
This is pretty crappy. I want Obama to win. But I don't think this is a fair attack on Sen. Clinton.

7. LMAO
Pot calling the kettle black!

On another note, I don't want to see the anti-Clinton cottage cheese industry get a shot in the arm, which will invariably happen if Hillary gets the nomination. I am tired of the whole 1990s thingy.

9. She doesn't care about the elections; she's too stupid to even follow the issues
She cares about the $5 mil. It's a two-fer. She gets the cash AND gets to be vindictive. The bonus is having her name in the news again after her 15 minutes of fame.

14. I'm sure that pointing out her intentions will make the whole thing go away.
Intentions which she is up front about, at that.

13. I hope the highest bid is $19.95
She went on Tweety, if I remember correctly, and indirectly accused Pres Clinton of multiple murders. She's an underhanded, scurrilous person.

37. Well..uhm...DUH...
Of course she's underhanded and scurrilous...

She slept with a MARRIED MAN for 12 years.

But sure, lets blame and point the finger only at her for the affair. I mean, it wasn't like Bill took a vow or anything "Till death do us part" is it?

I'm positive that for 12 years she, the horrible viper, had pheremones dripping off her fangs and poor helpless Bill was powerless to stop her slacks dropping stare.

Do I really need a :sarcasm: after this?

Flowers probably coming out now cause she can see waning
interest if Hillary doesn't get the nom. Flowers was probably counting on Hillary getting the nomination, and doing this in the GE timeframe.

I'm not applauding her or dissing Hillary. Just stating how I see this.

35. Yeah, it's a non-issue really.
She figured that the renewed interest in the Clintons means that she can make a few bucks off the old tapes. For those that didn't know, she lost her business in Katrina (she owned a club in New Orleans) so she probably just needs the money.

The conversations on the tape are pretty much all known material, so I rate this as a non-issue. BFD.

18. More proof from the investment market that Clinton stock is losing value?
Does she think this is the last best chance to make some real money on these tapes, or doing an appearance on faux?

20. Why can't this woman move on with her life?
Isn't she married now?

I didn't care at the time, and I don't care now.

However, it does take two to have an affair. It makes her look as stupid as him.

26. A girl has got to make a living. This may be her last chance to
get some press.

It's only solidifying her image as a hooker but I doubt she minds too much.

If she doesn't do well with this, she may have to sell her underwear on ebay.

45. Years ago, I saw her on tv, being

interviewed by Geraldo. I was flipping through the channels and my attention was caught by what she said. It was the sort of thing that you think "Who the Hell goes on national tv and admits THAT?"

It was so bad that GERALDO LOOKED SHOCKED!!!

40. I was referring in a generic sense to both candidates, that they will
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 09:30 PM by still_one
through all kinds of nonesense at them, whether it matters or not.

In other words, guilt by proxy

This particular post is the sleeze they will use against Hillary.

For Obama they will throw things like farakahm(sic) support, etc.

In other words, they will use things, and incorrectly link them

I believe anything that is thrown at either of OUR candidates can be handled without any problem

So she needs to profit off of the tapes while she still can.

Nothing, absolutely nothing would get done if Hill & Bill were elected with all the distractions of Bill & his skanky little friends.
It would be 8 years of this crap. The country deserves better.

39. Sad but true
Bill and Hillary Clinton don't deserve this. None of us do. It's tabloid trash, but there it is, none the less.

It will be in our face 24/7 and personally, I really don't care what he's done, when he did it or who he did it with but we live in a country where this crap sells like hotcakes. I know more about Brittney Spears than I do my own children and not because I'm out there looking. It's in my face. This will be just like Brittney only bigger-faster-more. Just look at what's happening with the leader of France. Tabloid bullshit is bringing him down.

And we are so much worse than the French when it comes to this kind of bullshit.

36. So She is Publishing it Now While It Still Has Some Market Value
She was going to wait until the general election campaign when it was going to be Hillary.
The Repiggies would have paid her very well for her efforts then.
Now it looks like Hillary's campaign is on the rocks, and the shelf life of Ms. Flowers' "explosive story" is almost expired.

Didn't like it being talked about then, or any time since.

What next, Paula Jones in Playboy again?
