White House character assassination; part XXVII in an apparently endless series. New York Times? Nope. Washington Post? Nope. Los Angeles Times? Nope. Geraldo? Nope. The Clinton Character Assassination Team has chosen the NATIONAL ENQUIRER , that paragon of prolific publication, as a forum for their viewpoints. From the Drudge Report at drudgereport.com CLINTON: 'MONICA IS DANGEROUS' "The woman is dangerous. She hallucinates. She fantasizes. I don't know if she even knows what the truth is anymore!" That's the story President Clinton is telling his closest advisers, according to next week's NATIONAL ENQUIRER [8/18/98]. A prerelease was obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT. The trashing of Monica Lewinsky shifts to full force, just hours after her testimony against President Clinton in front of a Washington grand jury. "She stalked me through the White House," Clinton is quoted as saying in the tabloid. "She seemed troubled but harmless. Monica was wide-eyed and young and I knew she got a thrill out of talking to me." The tabloid quotes one source: "When adviser [Harold] Ickes first tried to tell Clinton that Monica was spreading stories that could be harmful to him, he refused to listen." "Ickes and others believed that Monica was a liar, a virtual psychopath who had created an entire fantasy world involving the President, a woman who now wanted to destroy him." David Kendall, the Clintons' personal lawyer, also works for the ENQUIRER. NATIONAL ENQUIRER Editor Steve Cos has stated that Kendall was not involved in earlier Clinton scandal stories. "There is zero crossover," he has said. Next week's ENQUIRER features such headlines: "CLINTON: SHE'S DANGEROUS" -- "MONICA'S STORY: I JUST WANTED BILL TO LOVE ME" -- "INSIDER HER BIZARRE WORLD" -- "STRANGE SICK WORLD OF MONICA LEWINSKY" -- "MONICA'S ABORTION SHOCKER" -- "BIZARRE FANTASY LIFE CAUGHT UP WITH HER" -- "HOW I SEDUCED THE PRESIDENT."
