Halperin Admits: Clinton Sex Allegations 'Confirmed and Acknowledged'
MSNBC anchor Mark Halperin likely surprised some of his viewers, Monday, by declaring that some of the sexual accusations against Bill Clinton have been “confirmed and acknowledged” by the former President.
One dollar! One dollar! Do I hear a bid for a dollar to buy the New Republic magazine? For the price it cost to buy Newsweek you can also own the New Republic as your personal liberal magazine toy.
