Flowers selling Clinton tapes to the highest bidder
http://www.lvrj.com/columnists/normclarke/breaking_news/15949272.html?normBN=true

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.

"These are the tapes I brought forth as proof," she said.

Flowers, who lives in Las Vegas, sued Hillary Rodham Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, James Carville and other, accusing them of orchestrating a campaign to discredit her. Carville and Stephanopolous claimed Flowers doctored the tapes.

Flowers, 58, said she has kept the tapes "very safe all these years and I just recently received more interest and I said 'why not?'

"I certainly would enjoy the money for my future security. I don’t have any guarantee what might be coming," she said.

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 "ill contain a special item which must remain a protected secret until the book is published."

...May I be the first to say CUNT!

That describes her perfectly. She sits on evidence that could have instantly exonerated her for more than a decade, and now she wants to SELL IT??? I called her a whore du tutti whores downthread--in retrospect, that's a compliment.

7. Why would she do this now? Good grief. So she had sex with Bill Clinton. Big deal. I feel so bad
for Hillary. That would be so painful to have to relive this part of her life, especially in the midst of her campaign.

8. Why didn't she produce these tapes 12 YEARS AGO
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 07:24 PM by rocknation
when everyone was questioning her credibility and integrity? Even Monica Lewinsky was smarter than that.

Flowers, you're a whore du tutti whores.

17. That Gennifer! She's so spiritual.
She knows that karma is getting the Clintons. And she knows she will have no karmic debt, regardless of the nastiness of her own deed, from revealing her tapes of BC.

BTW, I seem to recall that when she first released those tapes, however many years ago, I doubted how serious their impact could be because, on one, BC identified himself as "Bill Clinton." If I were having an affair, the other person wouldn't have to give his last name in a phone conversation with me. And doctoring tapes incurs no karmic debt, either.

Bill's taste in women is somewhat strange. Must be karma, huh?
