Clinton and Starr, a Mutual Admonition Society nytimes.com
Michelle, I believe this may be the source of what you posted. Of course, the attribution will cause everybody to immediately discount it, but I'd sort of like to see Starr deposed on the matter. Sounds quite in character for Starr to me, given subsequent events.
James Carville claims in his coming book about Starr, "... And the Horse He Rode In On," that he had an encounter with Starr almost a year before he was appointed Whitewater independent counsel, replacing a moderate Republican, Robert Fiske.
Carville, one of Clinton's closest political associates, says in the book that he metStarr in October 1993, in the USAir executive lounge at Washington National Airport, although at the time he had no idea who Starr was. Carville recalled that a stranger walked up to him and "started spouting an unsolicited and shameful tirade against the president."
"Your boy's getting rolled," Carville said the stranger said ominously to him before walking away.
And rest assured, this is not a one sided article. As I've said elsewhere, the NYT has never been kind to Clinton, liberal scum that they are. But again, on the whole smear issue, it seems a bit unfair that only one side is allowed to smear. Or was Ken Starr's lurid report really an objective presentation of "just the facts"? He seems to think so, if you read to the end of this article. Fortunately or unfortunately, it seems that most people disagree.
Cheers, Dan.
