Is there a discredited right-wing sleaze-peddler Andrew Breitbart won't associate himself with?
Birthers? Check.
Vince Foster conspiracy theorists? Check.
Gary Aldrich? Check.
Aldrich, for those who are blissfully unaware, wrote the 1996 book Unlimited Access, in which the former FBI agent whined about “oddly dressed” Clinton White House staffers who wore jeans (!) and “shaggy hair.” He was particularly upset that women wore pants (!!) He accuses the Clintons of having “sinister motives in undermining the nation's security” and says “former FBI Director Louis Freeh … was a knowing and willing accomplice to the Clintons' reign of terror.” He accused Vince Foster and Hillary Clinton of having an affair. He made up stories about the White House Christmas tree being decorated with sex toys and drug paraphernalia. He included in his book the baseless allegation that Bill Clinton snuck out of the White House, away from the Secret Service, in order to conduct sexual affair -- then explained that he published the claim because he “was unable to knock down that possibility.”
Yes, that's right: Gary Aldrich's justification for making a baseless allegation against the president of the United States was that he had been unable to disprove it.
And Andrew Breitbart thinks it's an outrage that anyone would try to dissuade a television show from hosting this fantasist.
