Vanity Fair to Gershon: Go Pound Sand

Vanity Fair is standing by its story insinuating that Bill Clinton had an affair with Gina Gershon.

In a statement to TMZ, V.F. honcho Beth Kseniak says, "Todd Purdum's article does not indicate that former President Bill Clinton had an improper relationship with Gina Gershon. The story merely examines the concerns of some of Clinton's aides about reports of his behavior. We don't believe that any correction is warranted."

TMZ obtained a letter fired off by Lavely & Singer, Gershon's pitbull lawyers, demanding a retraction. Ain't gonna happen.

Stay tuned ...

18. First Monica, now Gina. Like all men of taste and intelligence, Bill Clinton cannot resist the siren song of the Jewish woman. You go, girls!! Getch summa that!!

19. The New Democrat Socialist Party can not have dis-loyal followers such as Gina & Bill Clinton , just because they say the story is not true (What do they Know,anyway). If Leftist Newspaper Vanity Fair says it is true then it must be?.
BEHAVE BILL or Peter Osnos (who just published a book with guest commentary by Scott Mcclellan) will did a hit job on you too . He already published a 'try GW Bush for murder' story.

20. The email that is traveling through the Internet is below:
Who put the first woman on the Supreme Court? The GOP. Who put the first black woman as Secy of State? The GOP. Who has prevented another attack on our soil since 9/11? The GOP. Hey, who freed the slaves in the first place? The GOP. It’s time for a mass exodus from the Democratic party. If older women are not appreciated there, then crash the party at the “Big Tent” of the GOP. Let the Obama girls worry about their own abortion rights…

21. If this were not true Ms. Gershon would have begun litigation immediately and never asked for a retraction. Should Vanity Fair publish a retraction, they would be minimizing Ms Gershon's case for libel. The retraction would be legally viewed as remedy. To an attorney this letter is an admittance of complicity.

22. Here's the exact VF quote on Gershon:

"...or at more recent high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip that Clinton has been seen visiting with the actress Gina Gershon."
That's it; no more, no less. About as actionable as sharing a pizza. Clearly, the not highly recognizable Gershon needs the PR and was delighted to find her name benignly mentioned in the Vanity Fair article, page 127. She should send TMZ a small stipend for pumping a non-story.

23. I am an Obama supporter and no fan of the slimy Clintons, but I have to say that that VF article was nothing but rumors and innuendo and a crappy piece of "journalism." It was fun to read though!

24. "The story merely examines the concerns of some of Clinton's aides about reports of his behavior."

Talk about fancy word play - to parse, Vanity Fair only "reported" on a claim that *somebody else* made about Clinton and Gershon, so they aren't making the claim themselves.

Like when Bush said "British intelligence" had evidence of a clandestine nuclear program. Hey, I'm only saying what the British claimed, I'm not endorsing that claim or anything.

Douchebags.
