Clinton's bracelet? It's not what you think

[MaineDem]

Regarding the red-and-blue woven bracelet Bill Clinton has been seen wearing while promoting his autobiography, "My Life": Yes, the bracelet has a connection to a "magnificently attractive" (his words) woman he once entertained at the White House.

No, it isn't what you're thinking.

Nevertheless, it's hard to keep a good rumor down, especially where our 42d president is concerned. Thus, tongues have been wagging and Internet chat rooms have been chatting since Clinton launched his publicity blitz last weekend by waving the bracelet -- what in the name of Bob Marley is that thing? -- in Dan Rather's face while discussing Kenneth Starr, Monica Lewinsky, et al.

On "60 Minutes" last Sunday, America's first close-up look at the man in quite some time, the bracelet stuck out like a pierced tongue. It could be seen during Clinton's stroll through his presidential library and on a trip to his mother's grave. One minute it was accessorizing his smartly tailored business suit, the next a pair of blue jeans.

1. Wow - quite a story!

Pisses me off when people feel the need to kill others for no damn good reason. Frickin' terrorists and drug runners.

It's nice when not all the political news is cynical. I never noticed the bracelet but now I'll look for it.
