| Politics "wid" a taste of Philly, by Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News |
OK, maybe it's not THE October surprise, but it's interesting to learn that in the same week that Bill Clinton hits the Pa. campaign trail for John Kerry, a new hanky-panky charge comes out against the Big Dawg, right here in Philadelphia.
Former Miss Arkansas Sally Perdue -- a long-rumored Clinton paramour -- filed a federal sexual harassment suit here yesterday, not against the ex-president but against a Quaker meeting house in West Chester, Pa., where she worked from 2001 to 2003.
The lawsuit states that her problems resulted because she "was involved in a sexual relationship with former President William Jefferson Clinton" before she took a job as director of fundraising and PR with the Quaker group. It says she suffered from sexual and religious harassment because people knew about her affair with Clinton -- and that she was fired after complaining to the federal EEOC about it.
The story was broken in the Daily News today by reporter Jim Smith. The lawsuit was filed under the name of Myra Belle "Sally" Miller. Although the one-time beauty queen has gone under the name Sally Miller Perdue in the past, it was difficult late last night to confirm with 100 percent certainly that Myra Belle Miller and Sally Perdue are the same person. Smith called the plaintiff at her current home in Alexandria, Va., and was told "in a distinct Southern accent" to contact her lawyers.
This morning, some additional research by Campaign Extra! seems to leave little doubt that the plaintiff is the former Arkansas pageant winner who once appeared in a Playboy centerfold. (see UPDATE below.) One advanced search engine shows that a 65-year-old "Sally M. Perdue" lives in Alexandria, used to live in West Chester, Pa., and was issued a Social Security number in Arkansas in the mid-1950s.
The lawsuit would be legal confirmation of an allegation that Perdue reportly aired on the Sally Jessy Rafael show some years back. She said the affair with Clinton took place in 1983 when he was governor of Arkansas, and was aided and abetted by state troopers. But she vanished again after the interview and avoided the hoopla of the Monica Lewinsky era.
Is the timing of the lawsuit political? There's no evidence to suggest that, although at a time when the GOP is eager to drum up a big turnout among social conservatives, what better reminder of what they saw as the moral squalor of the Clinton years.
The suit claims that supervisors suggested she date a 91-year-old Quaker board member, placed photos of "elderly and scantily-clad men" on her desk, handed her "unsolicited religious literature" and implied she was a "fallen woman, told her to wear "longer skirts and less makeup", stole her mail, vandalized her car and said she'd be "better off if she learned Quaker ways."
It states that she was told by one of her managers in February 2001 that a school board member knew of the sexual relationship with Clinton.
"The relationship had in fact occurred but ended before" Miller started working with the Quakers, the suit notes. "Despite the fact that" Miller "made it clear she did not wish to discuss same, they began subjecting" her "to a continuing pattern of harassment and discrimination based on her sex and religion," the suit alleges.
It also alleges that she was told she was too friendly with male parents of schoolchildren.
She claims the defendants "sarcastically" advised her when she received phone messages and calls that "Bill Clinton" was on the phone.
UPDATE: This correction will run in the 11/2 Daily News: A story in Friday's newspaper reported on a suit that Myra Belle Sally Miller, filed against her employer, the West Chester Meeting of Friends, for alleging discriminating against her after learning of her prior sexual relationship with President Clinton. That article stated that Ms. Perdue, a former Miss Arkansas, had appeared as a Playboy centerfold. That statement is incorrect. We apologize to Ms. Perdue for this incorrect statement.
I like to remember Bill Clinton, I wish he was still in the White house.
Sex is better than killing. 100.000 Iraqis dead because W wanted this war,
1107+of our own soldiers now dead thanks to this stupid President, how many wounded?
Under George W. Bush all I see since he got in the White house is DEATH and destruction starring with 9/11
I`m glad it is almost over. John Kerry will win.
Make love no war.
Much as I hate to say this, because it feels like a betrayal of women somehow, but perhaps the timing isn't so much political, as much as meant to generate as much attention for Ms. Perdue. Maybe this former Miss Arkansas just needed her latest 15 minutes of fame.
Posted by: Ruth at October 29, 2004 12:31 PMThe Republicans are terrible people and I will never concede they are ever religious. The timing of this story about Bill Clinton is definitely politically motivated. This woman has has 12 years to come forward and didn't. My brother was county treasurer of this county for 28 years and fought constantly for the fiscal health of the county. The republicans were and are in control and spent more than they had. Now my brother is dead and the county is broke, like he said for so long. They are crooked as a dogs hind leg.
Posted by: Earl Umfleet at October 29, 2004 01:41 PMMan, you're a bunch of whiny Democrats. Every time a story breaks that could be a knock against Bush, it's your chance to glorify Kerry, but the second a story comes around disparaging a Democrat, it's a well timed Republican ploy to smear the campaign. Get a life. Spend your time convincing us that Kerry is actually a good candidate, rather than blaming Bush for everything that goes wrong on the entire earth.
Posted by: Justin at October 29, 2004 03:47 PM"sex is better than killing"?? Did you really say that? So quick to look the other way...
Posted by: Justin at October 29, 2004 03:48 PMOh, Justin, you poor, poor baby. It's so sad that democrats are whining, an activity in which republicans *never* *ever* engage.
Bush is losing. Waaaaaah, it's all the fault of the liberal media...ppphhhhhhhtttt, Faux News viewers are the most misinformed in the nation.
Waaaaaaah, the democrats are withholding judicial confirmations.
We now have the lowest vacancy rates in over ten years. Dems ended the era of anonymous and secret holds, made blue slips public *for the first time*, expedited the pace of confirmations, made the process more fair, and even acted on vacancies in circuits where Republicans had deliberately blocked President Clinton’s appointments. Dems held hearings and votes even on questionable nominees (the Pickering, Owen, Shedd and Estrada nominations are examples)and the average confirmation rate is 98%.
Wwwwaaahhh, they're trying to steal the election.
RNC funded groups like Voters Outreach for America has been ripping up Democratic voter registration forms in Nev. and Oregon. Ohio voters are being challenged by people who have no clue as to the basis of their challenges in Ohio. Almost 40,000 FL voters in Broward County (65% supported Gore in 2000) have not had their absentee ballots mailed to them.
Wwwaaaaaaaaahh - The Dems are questioning Bush's military service(ummm HE WAS AWOL!) Ohmigosh they're slandering him!! Remember hearing the term 'draft-dodger' for 8 years in the 90's? I do.
Wwwwaaaaahhh - Michael Moore is a propagandist who hates America. He's the next Goebbels, make him shut up.
Meanwhile Swift boat vets for truth (yah), several of whom have been outed as outright liars are being heavily promoted and funded by the republicans (to the tune of at least $40 million) despite rabid denials to the contrary.
I haven't even gotten warmed up yet.
Just FYI:
West Chester Friends and other Quakers of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting area are generally, typcially Democrats (and if not that, Green Party members). East Coast Quakers are very much part of the "religious left"--when the Lewinsky scandal came out, most of us (yes, I am a Quaker, though not a member of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting) were talking about how it only in how we thought it was to cover up the failed airstrikes in Afghanistan and the Sudan. Usually, Bill Clinton's penis and where it's been is the last thing on our minds.
Having no connection whatsoever with West Chester Friends, I've no idea what's really happened here, but I doubt it was for political campaigning reasons. Either WC Friends have some puritanical issues they need to get over and come into the 21st Century with the rest of us, or this woman has some issues of her own.
And if this _was_ a dig at the Democratic campaign, was it to dig at the liberal, usually Democrat-supporting Quakers or to dig at the woman who slept with Clinton?

Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling!
Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! and merry-o
Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o!
Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away!
Tom's in a hurry now. Evening will follow day.
Tom's going home again water-lilies bringing.
