On September 27, 1980, then-Governor Bill Clinton addressed the Arkansas Democratic Convention and cast himself as a standard-bearer of the postwar tradition of progressive governance in the state.[3] In response, Greenberg dubbed Clinton "Slick Willie" and alleged he was a false reformer who abandoned the policies of such predecessors as Winthrop Rockefeller, Dale Bumpers and David Pryor.[3] The moniker "Slick Willie" would go on to be frequently used by Clinton's opposition throughout his political career.[3]

He is the father of journalist Dan Greenberg.
