In an article published in the July 2008 print edition of Vanity Fair, Bill Clinton is taken to task for his activities since leaving the White House.

With over 10,000 words, Vanity Fair author Todd Purdum fires off round after round of accusations against former president Bill Clinton. Purdum questions everything about Clinton's post-presidential lifestyle from his various business associations to his jet-set lifestyle. He goes so far as to say that Clinton possesses a "cavernous narcissism".

The Clinton response came swiftly, but with no new angles. Clinton chastises Purdum for writing accusations without sources and says that the piece is really just another means to deter his wife, Hillary Clinton, from getting the Democratic Party nomination.

Vanity Fair responded to Clinton's response by standing by its writer. They point out that Clinton failed to point out any factual errors in the article.

They also pointed out that Purdum has been covering the Clintons for over a decade. Not only did Purdum contact former Clinton administrators for the piece, he also contacted Bill Clinton's office prior to publishing the article.
