The article explains how Bill Clinton made scathing remarks to describe Todd Purdum; who was a writer at Vanity Fair, where Clinton describes him as "Sleazy", "Slimy", and "Scumbag".
Purdum's piece for Vanity Fair criticized former President Clinton for, "bringing negative attention to Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and for surrounding himself with friends who might discredit her campaign" as quoted in the article.
I think Bill Clinton had no need to say such remarks about Purdum, even though Purdum criticizes Clinton in his article.
While the statements used by Clinton are debatable as to whether they are justified or not, he goes on to say that Purdum cannot be trusted and that his work is false by stating, "“Anytime you read a story that slimes a public figure with anonymous quotes, it oughta make the bells go off in your head. Because anytime somebody uses those things— he wrote the story in his head in advance, and he just goes around and tries to find some coward to say whatever they want to say, hoping to get some benefit out of it. It didn’t bother me. It shouldn’t bother you.”
It is obviously evident that the article by Purdum has bothered Clinton very much, further creating a negative perception of himself.
