“I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him. ‘What do you mean? What are you saying? Why did you lie to me?’ I was furious and getting more so by the second. He just stood there saying over and over again, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.'” (Excerpt from “Living History” – Hillary Clinton)
With that, Hillary Clinton claims until the morning of Aug. 15, 1998, she believed her husband was being railroaded by tendentious and evil conservatives. Allowing there is even a modicum of truth in that excerpt, she is either the most gullible woman on earth or she is being deliberately disingenuous. I stake my opinion on the latter.
She apparently believes that disputing her account will lead most to feel, as her spinmeisters have repeatedly argued, it was just a personal matter between her and her husband. But I view her revelation (even if it were plausible), as the zeitgeist of the Clinton years.
As my grandmom used to say, “Where there is smoke, there is fire;” In Bill Clinton’s case there was enough smoke to make the fire started by Mrs. O’Leary’s cow look like a camp fire.
The Clinton marriage has seen one sordid and tawdry affair after another – many of them highly publicized and thrown in the face of Hillary. How could she not have known the Monica Lewinsky debauchery was not just one more of the same?
They came to the White House with Gennifer Flowers, complete with taped conversations. There had been the sordid Paula Jones spectacle. In 1993, Kathleen Willey alleged Clinton had groped and molested her in the Oval Office. In 1978, Juanita Broaddrick alleged she had been forcibly raped by the husband of Mrs. Clinton.
There is his alleged 30-year, off-and-on affair with Dolly Kyle Browning. In June 2002, the D.C. Appeals Court reinstated part of her lawsuit against Clinton. Can any reasonable mind believe Hillary wasn’t aware that top White House aides were trying to block Browning’s book from being published?
The Washington Post reported in 1995 that Kimberly Moore, the head of a Little Rock, Ark., accounting firm, was paid $37,500 by Clinton’s 1992 campaign fund. While Moore is forbidden to discuss the details of her allegation under terms of the settlement, we do know she had complained of unwanted advances by Hillary’s husband … the man she expects us to believe she thought was being railroaded by evil conservatives.
Does Hillary expect us to believe she was unaware of the female Air Force officer, who in his book, “Dereliction of Duty,” Lt. Col. Robert Patterson wrote was “sexually molested” in the galley of Air Force One, in 1997 by her husband? Or that she was unaware of Chrystine Zercher, a flight attendant who worked on Clinton’s 1992 campaign plane?
Zercher alleges she was groped by the then candidate. She added that Clinton, “with his pants open would invite her to join him in the plane’s lavatory,” (Carl Limbacher – April 27, 2003).
In my column, “Do You Like Hillary Enough To See Her As President,” I recounted reports in the New Zealand and Australian newspapers of Clinton’s association with Australian TV star Charlotte Dawson. I also recounted reports out of Brazil that are too tawdry to be mentioned here.
The opinion of this columnist is that Hillary continues to be dishonest and manipulative. She has selectively chosen only to address her husband’s insipid affair with Lewinsky.
If her book were intended to be a truthful tome, a discourse of honesty, why did she omit the others?
Hillary is conniver in chief and her husband is an alleged serial molester. “Living History” is vacuous pablum that should have been entitled “Rewriting History.”
