McAuliffe Parties On

February 09, 2007 6:22 PM

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Terry McAuliffe has led anything but a boring life and he's not too shy to admit it.

"I view my life as nothing but one great big party," McAuliffe said in an interview on ABC News Now's "Politics Live."

For McAuliffe, the party is so wonderful that he put the party to paper in his book, "What a Party! My Life Among Democrats, Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators, and Other Wild Animals."

Former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, longtime activist in the Democratic Party, and one of the top fundraising machines in politics, McAuliffe shared with ABC's Mark Halperin some personal stories about his experiences in U.S politics.

McAuliffe is certainly close with former President Clinton, but he admits they were not as close as they once were mistaken to be.

In Seoul, after getting caught up in a card game lasting until 5:30 a.m. with Clinton, rumors started flying.

"The South Korean police were thinking we were gay lovers together," he recalled, after he was spotted leaving Clinton's hotel room so early in the morning.  The Secret Service set the record straight, and McAuliffe recalled the tears of laughter that rolled down Clinton's face after he heard the rumor.
