Aide Resigns After Attacking Clinton

A member of Barack Obama's LGBT leadership council resigned Tuesday after it was discovered he sent a disparaging e-mail about Hillary Clinton to various listservs. In the e-mail, sent March 6, Maxim Thorne accuses Clinton of political posturing on NAFTA, revives President Bill Clinton's sex scandals -- including Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones -- and calls for a full "vetting" of the New York senator's tax returns and White House e-mails.

"At 3 a.m., Hillary said she and Bill were in bed and she knows of all the calls a President gets at different times of the day and night," wrote Thorne. "Really? So much involvement - so much togetherness. Where was she when Monica was having sex with Bill? 35 years of experience? When he was intimidating Katherine Wiley and Paula Jones? Where was the judgment on the cattle futures and white water. Do we forget Mark and Denise Rich? This was an impeached President who lost his licence to practice law. He committed perjury. They settled with Paula Jones for the full amount of her lawsuit. I haven't forgotten and none of us should... Please, we are going down a nasty road with a nasty, secretive and proven lying Clinton."

Thorne is the third flap in the Obama campaign this month, which started days before the primary contests in Ohio and Texas when the Associated Press revealed that Obama economic adviser Austan Goolsbee had told Canadian officials that the Illinois senator's tough talk on NAFTA was mere political posturing. On March 7, foreign policy adviser Samantha Power resigned after calling Clinton "a monster" in an off-the-record comment to a Scottish newspaper.

Politico's Ben Smith calls the Thorne e-mail "another sign of the anger in Obamaland at the Clinton campaign." (The Advocate)
