Daniel,
I figured I owed you first notification, thanks to DRUDGE, of this story. It appears that Slick has been cleared of the suspected paternity of little Danny Williams.
I'll bet the news of Slick being *cleared* gets loads more coverage than reports of his possible paternity. Any takers ?

Scandal Interruptus
A bit less Jefferson in William Jefferson Clinton
NEW YORK: Bill Clinton has been dogged for years by the
rumor that in Arkansas he fathered a child of an
African-American prostitute. In 1992 the tale was flogged by
the tabloid Globe. But it really took off last week when news
leaked that the tabloid Star was conducting DNA tests to
confirm or refute the rumors once and for all, provoking a
frenzy of speculation in Washington after the story leapt, in
the usual fashion, from the Drudge Report to the New York
Post to papers around the world.
Using the Starr Report's FBI analysis of Clinton's DNA as its
reference, Star paid former prostitute Bobbie Ann Williams,
the source for the Globe article, and her 13-year-old son for
their story and blood samples. And the result: "There was no
match. Not even close," says a Star source. (The Starr
Report contains sufficient data to make a valid DNA
comparison to rule out paternity.) But if the tabloid was
disappointed by the results, it's putting up a good, Brill's
Content-ready front. Says editor in chief Phil Bunton: "We
investigate dozens of stories every week, and if they don't
prove to be true, we don't run them."
