Bill Clinton is still the poster-boy of American politics in popular imagination world over.

If Tasha Reign, the porn-star who was photographed with former US President Bill Clinton in a rather lukewarm page-three charity dinner pose was in an eighties Bollywood film, she could be what Helen was in her twilight screen outings – the vamp with a heart of gold.

Especially, as she seems to have snatched what could have been the closing line of the vocally exhausting TV news piece on the ‘scandal’ – “I hope this doesn’t hurt his re-election or whatever he’s trying to run for”. Except, for her guiltless ignorance about ‘whatever’ Clinton might want to ‘run’ for, Reign could be a ‘breaking news’ scribe in the making.

One, she knows, that Clinton is still the poster-boy of political glamour in US and two she knows how to stoke the fire without burning her hands.TMZ, which broke the story, quotes her as saying, “I just said, he was a great President.” To which,Clinton ‘just kind of winked and smiled and gave (us) hugs’.

The TMZ report says, ‘Brooklyn Lee, an award-winning porn star, said she noticed Clinton eyeing their table at Wednesday’s Nights in Monaco fund-raiser, which was benefitting the William J. Clinton Foundation and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.’ Reportedly, Reign and Lee, guests of Mark Bell, CEO of the Penthouse magazine, tried to meet Clinton but the Secret Service intervened. “The Secret Service guy wasn’t having it, but then (Clinton) let us come over,” Lee told TMZ in a phole call fromCannes.

While Reign has feigned surprise at how fast the picture she tweeted went all over the web, the fact that it has, goes on to prove that despite current President Obama making landmark decisions on world politics, Clinton still plays a large role in popular imagination. The Internet triumph of the picture despite its distinct lack of skin, cleavage or even a mildly suggestive pose, also indicates how the highest orders of American politics, are on par with Hollywood superstars when it comes to popularity.
