Hillary Clinton spoke yesterday of the pain and embarrassment caused by her husband’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, ten years after the scandal erupted and at the height of a presidential campaign when women will be crucial to her White House hopes.“I never doubted Bill’s love for me, ever,†Mrs Clinton said in an interview on Fox’s Tyra Banks Show, aired on the eve of the Nevada caucuses today, her next contest with Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.“But I had to decide what I ought to do, I think it is so important to be able to hear yourself at a moment when it is hard . . . there are so many times when you really have to listen to yourself.â€Â
Asked by Banks whether she was embarrassed by Mr Clinton’s relationship with Ms Lewinsky, which eventually led to his impeachment, she said: “sure, all of that.â€Â
Woe.
I’ve always wondered if she got herpes from Bill or maybe that was never a real possibility, but this part is intriguing…
I think it is so important to be able to hear yourself at a moment when it is hard…
So that kind of sounds like she’s aware about taking precautions even when they got some of that arkie passion brewed up. That pretty much tracks with my impression of her.
She was able to generate more emotion when she was losing in NH than she did in discussing her husband cheating on her publicly. “I never doubted for a second that he loved me”. Love is probably not the right metric. While he was playing tonsil hockey with the humidor, he certainly was not thinking about HRC, showing her even a dollop of respect, or loving her.
I think the best evaluation of the Clinton union was summed up by Michael Medved, who knew them both in college and saw the relationship first hand. Medved says Hillary really does deeply love Bill, which gives Hill and Bill something in common, because so does Bill.
You’re talking about HRC, but also there’s the Office of the Presidency, the White House itself, and…this guy…
I can’t recall his name… ?
Serr8d, according to supplemental documents from the independent counsel’s report (pdf):
“LEWINSKY selected the
name of Congressman H. L. “SONNY” CALUHAN as the most likely
caller to the President that night.”
I am so ready for JE0PARDY!

Time was elected officials valued protecting other’s personal rights more than projecting their own personal bullshit onto the nation. Time was.

Sure. But I still want the Packers to win, tomorrow.
Favre is tolerable outside of monday night games. Hillary is tolerable if she’s servicing your monkey. Of course I’m working off assumptions, namely that everyone owns a stuffed monkey, that everyone smashes his crotch into the TV when Hillary’s face invades the TV screen, that everyone throws their voice making their monkey complain of Hillary’s porcelians gnawing into tender monkey flesh, that one always uses a high-pitched voice when you speak for thier monkey, etc…
