NEW YORK, November 16, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Disgraced former U.S. President Bill Clinton has been hailed as “The Most Influential Man in the World,” by Esquire magazine. In the December issue of the magazine set to hit newsstands Thursday, Esquire Editor-in-Chief David Granger says Clinton is poised to become “something like a president of the world or at least a president of the world’s non-governmental organizations.”

Clinton, whose fame has survived revelations of sexual impropriety, perjury andÂconstant reports of other shady occurrences at the Clinton White House which would have killed any other political reputation, continues to wow audiences worldwide. Clinton who was, already in 2003, rumoured to be seeking to lead the United Nations (se coverage: https://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2003/feb/03021905.html ) has also launched his own global initiative to right the wrongs of the world. (see coverage: https://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2005/jul/050715b.html )

Esquire designatesÂhim as “the most powerful agent of change in the world.” However, some readers may be suspicious of the adulation given that Clinton himself authored an introduction to the special issue of the magazine.Â

Clinton, who Father Richard Neuhaus called “The Abortion President”,Âhas attracted the exaltation of the many crowds he has addressed, at a fee of $100,000+ per engagement since leaving office. At a Canadian engagement last month, event organizers called him, “one of the greatest leaders in the history of presidents” and an “inspiring” presence. Christian Darbyshire of TinePublic Inc., that organized the conference said “He’s probably more influential these days now . . .than he was as the president.”
