| Bill Clinton linked to Sestak scandal |
| 2010-05-28 |
| Greg Sargeant, WaPo "Plum Line" Senior White House advisers asked former President Bill Clinton to talk to Joe Sestak about whether he was serious about running for Senate, and to feel out whether he'd be open to other alternatives, according to sources familiar with the situation. But the White House maintains that the Clinton-Sestak discussions were informal, according to the sources. "Let me make one thing clear," one source said, wagging his finger.

| #1 Big question: Was it Bill's turn to wear the blue dress? and who's "human DNA" is on the fabric? It would be ironic if he survived impeachment and then went to jail for bribary. |
