Clinton Complains about Esquire 'Leak'
By Susan Jones CNS Morning Editor October 31, 2000
(CNSNews.com) - President Clinton says Esquire magazine 'promised
faithfully' that it would not release its interview with Clinton until
after the election. "And I believed it," he snapped Monday in response
to a reporter's question.
Both Clinton and Vice President Al Gore reportedly are furious
that Clinton's comments to Esquire - and a provocative cover
photo of Clinton sitting with his legs spread -- were released
over the weekend. The Gore campaign fears the reminder of
Clinton scandals could turn off swing voters at a time when Gore
is desperately reaching out to them.
In the interview scheduled to run in the December Esquire,
Clinton discusses his impeachment - and reportedly demands an
apology from Republicans.
"Unlike them [the Republicans], I've apologized to the American
people for what I did wrong, and most Americans think I paid a
pretty high price ... They never apologized to the country for
impeachment. They've never apologized for all the things they've
done ... But, folks, I think that they haven't necessarily put
their abuse of power behind them," Clinton is quoted as saying.
The Washington Times reports that Clinton took offense when a
reporter asked him why congressional Republicans should apologize
for impeaching him. Clinton responded, "I doubt if you've read
the whole interview, or you wouldn't have asked the question in
that way."
Clinton said, "I would just urge the American people, if they're
hearing all this talk, to read exactly what was said." The
magazine won't come out until after the election, however. In
the meantime, Clinton said Americans should focus on the
election.
When asked about Clinton's comments on the impeachment issue,
Senator Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) said, "That's
absolutely bizarre, but it shows you something about his thinking
and the judgment that he has. Look, he disgraced the office. He
did things in the Oval Office that just absolutely are still
incredible, and then he lied about it."
Earlier, on a Sunday talk show, Lott said, "If there is any
apology to be made, he owes it over and over again for what he
put the country through."
Esquire Editor-in-Chief David Granger is quoted in the Washington
Times as saying that Esquire "violated no (embargo) agreement
with the White House."
