Todd Stanley Purdum (born December 13, 1959) is an American journalist who works as a national editor and political correspondent for Vanity Fair.

[2] Until late 2005, Purdum was a reporter and the Los Angeles bureau chief for The New York Times.

[3] For the July 2008 issue of Vanity Fair, Purdum wrote a scathing article about Bill Clinton, "The Comeback Id".

When Fowler reminded Clinton that Purdum is married to his former press secretary, he responded: "That's all right – he's still a scumbag."

But I'm telling ya, all it's doing is driving her supporters further and further away – because they know exactly what it is – this has been the most rigged coverage in modern history – and the guy ought to be ashamed of himself.
