What would we do without Bubba?
Every day's another titillating ego massage for the bleary roué. Al Kamen in his Washington Post "In the Loop Column" reports Canadian Rumor Mills in Overtime:
Canadian papers were running items about what was called a "close personal and business relationship" between Clinton and Canadian billionaire Belinda Stronach, chief executive of auto-parts maker Magna International Inc.
...
This has created much salacious -- and surely false -- buzz up north. A CanWest News Service story strongly cautions against thinking such things. "They are good friends," a close friend of Stronach's told CanWest, "but there is not a romantic linkage. It's just not that way. . . . You shouldn't jump to conclusions that they are having a serious fling," though the friend said Stronach is attracted to Clinton.

Another friend said Stronach, 36, is "intrigued" by Clinton's "charisma and brainpower, particularly his knowledge of world events," the wire service reported. Stronach, according to that friend, said of Clinton: "'The guy is really smart and he really knows a lot of stuff.' "
In case you are wondering how someone so delusional could become a billionaire - it's dad's money.

But Hillary's not worried about yet another woman, even a really rich one. She's too busy sleazing up bogus publicity as the rest of the column describes.
