CHANCES are, President Clinton didn’t log on to MTV’s webpage the day after he delivered his Ejaculation Proclamation last August. If he had, he would have found a supportive statement from a rap star to lift his spirits: “They should leave the man alone. He’s doing a good job running the country and there’s nothing wrong with him having a little fun.” The performer’s stage name, though, might have given Clinton pause—OI Dirty Bastard.
Perhaps it takes one to love one. While Betty Friedan was running around Capitol Hill blaming impeachment on a “bunch of dirty old white men,” an array of rappers was joining Ol’ Dirty Bastard (the one from MTV) in defense of their leader. “I think he’s been a great president,” said Fat Joe. “It ain’t his fault that he’s a playa.” Added the inexplicably named Noreaga, “Clinton’s the best president ever. … I believe Clinton bent the rules the way he’s supposed to. Your wife can’t [deliver a Lewinsky] while you’re on the job, ’cause that’s your wife, ya smell me?”
