Here's Drudge's goddamn fucking mystery bracelet

[rumguy]

I've seen how Drudge works. I had no doubt what he was thinking about this braclet. Well here it is Drudgy baby. What do you think now you pathetic little worm?

I am beginning to think they hate Clinton for his essential goodness.

"We ask him about the red and blue crocheted band around his right wrist -- an incongruous clash with the statesman attire. For the first time in the interview he becomes emotional, the voice catching and his eyes redening.

'I've worn it for two years. I went there and met these unbelievable kids from a village on the edge of the rainforest where the narco-traffickers are dominant,' he says. 'They sang and danced for peace and I fell in love with these kids. I asked them to perform at the White House one Christmas. They came with the culture minister, a magnificently attractive woman called Consuelo. The bad guys hated these kids because they made them look like what they are. The guerillas couldn't kill these children, so they murdered her ... I can still hardly talk about this.'

'Two years ago they asked me back and I said, 'I'll come, but you've got to bring those kids to see me.' So I turn up -- and the children greeted me at the airport, along with the new culture minister -- the niece of the murdered woman. And they gave me this bracelet, which I've never taken off.'"

May not have agreed with all of Clinton's policies but I gotta admit the guy cares.

13. i'm with ya luminous..........

i saw my president on the Oprah Aftershow on Oxygen, and when he was asked about this bracelet, he once again teared up when telling this story. i must admit, i got kinda choked up myself.

6. Difference between Bush* and Clinton

Bush would've been the funding source for the narco-traffickers

[indigobusiness]

11. And Bush would've called it a necklace. n/t

12. I found this on Atrios

I didn't know if most people visit his blog or not....so I wanted to bring it here.

10. Clinton is a world-class human being.

He really epitomizes so much of what it means to be human - to have flaws and yet still work to help others.

[TrustingDog]

15. so what was Drudge's story on the bracelet?

I'm not up on this guy at all - noticed how many DUers don't exactly respect him - can you give me a bit of a summary? I never took D for being a RW nut, is he? Or does he just have a vendetta thing against Clinton?

[lancdem]

20. He runs many more stories smearing Dems than he does Repukes

That's why we can't stand him. He's the one who broke the bogus Kerry-intern story.

16. what does this hafta do w/ drudge?

[aden_nak]

18. Drudge linked the article about his book with the phrase:

CLINTON SPORTS MYSTERY BRACELET

[Skip Intro]

17. Bill Clinton has more character in his pinky than the whole *regime

put together.

And they can't stand it.

:D

[Catherine Vincent]

21. Thanks for the link. How sweet.

[Toucano]

22. My curiosity was piqued, too.

I am glad to know the story behind it. Thanks for the post.
