Peter King's new novel, "Deliver Us From Evil." That's because cameraman Richard Hall was prevented from videotaping Clinton at the Dubliner bar. Hall told us he started rolling when Clinton showed up unexpectedly. After a few seconds, a King aide told Hall that Clinton's people wanted him to stop. Hall continued taping for another 15 seconds, until a strapping young man calling himself Doug him to stop. "The president is a private citizen and doesn't want cameras on him all the time," Doug barked. Hall assumed he was a Secret Service agent and complied. After his remarks, Clinton made a beeline for Hall. "Glad you're here!" the former president gushed. "I wish you had allowed me to tape your speech' Hall replied. A distressed Clinton asked, "What do you mean?" As Hall explained the situation, he heard Doug mutter, "Thanks a lot!" Then an apparently angry Clinton gave Doug hell. Nevertheless, Hall said, when he resumed videotaping, Doug came up and shut him down again. It turns out that Doug Band is Clinton's personal aide, not a Secret Service agent, and had no authority to stop C-SPAN's camera. We hear he's now remorseful, but Clinton press secretary Julia Payne declined to produce him. "It's well known all over the world," she said, "that Doug has left many a cameraman in his wake." ------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
