On the cover: Crotch shots sell magazines. Duh



Esquire Magazine have recycled their famous Platon "crotch shot" of Bill Clinton with a far more flattering Cliff Watts portrait of their "sexiest woman alive", Halle Berry. Hat tip to the photography blog, The Year in Pictures. Hey, don't point that thing at me! (Er, the camera. Just kidding)

Bubba Trouble - The Comeback Id's comeback


Click here for the July Vanity Fair bombshell which so riled Bill Clinton's staff. The former president's point-by-point takedown of the writer, spouse of an erstwhile staffer, has sent a hurricane of hot air through the blogosphere. Most conclude that he protesteth too much about attacks on his id, his roving eye, and his post-op wrath. You be the judge of the 10,000 word article by Todd Perdum (or is that per diem?)

...the smiling, snowy-haired man who is the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral he attends, the 42nd president of the United States, Bill Clinton.


And according to the New York Observer,Bill Clinton said yesterday as he attacked Vanity Fair's "The Comeback Id": "The editor of Esquire -- he sent us an email yesterday and said it was the single sleaziest piece of journalism he'd seen in decades." Esquire editor David Granger says he didn't not send any e-mail, but affirmed "it was one of my editors."
