@oralloy,
Quote NY Times:
Quote:We have to destroy her story," Mrs. Clinton said in 1991 of Connie Hamzy, one of the first women to come forward during her husband's first presidential campaign, according to George Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton administration aide who described the events in his memoir, "All Too Human." (Three people signed sworn affidavits saying Ms. Hamzy's story was false.)
Well, if three people signed affadavits saying Hamzy's story is false, there is an excellent chance that it is false. In which case, what is so bad about the candidate's wife attempting to destroy the story in the public's mind?
Quote NY Times:
Quote:When Gennifer Flowers later surfaced, saying that she had had a long affair with Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton undertook an "aggressive, explicit direction of the campaign to discredit" Ms. Flowers, according to an exhaustive biography of Mrs. Clinton, "A Woman in Charge," by Carl Bernstein.
Gennifer Flowers was not an innocent woman who was minding her own business and then got sexually assaulted by a man she didn't know. Quite the opposite, Gennifer Flowers was the on again, off again girlfriend of Bill Clinton for years who got angry she got dumped when Bill Clinton ran for president. Seems to me if someone you care about is about to do something that makes them a historical figure, you don't stand in their way. She could have just kept quiet and nobody would have bothered her. Instead, Gennifer turned right around and vengefully went after Bill. Yes, she wasn't treated all that respectfully, but so what? How much respect did she expect for being the Governor's ex-girlfriend who is miffed about getting dumped? More to the point, why should I, the voter, be upset that a President didn't take his Arkansas mistresses with him when he moved into the White House?
Quote NY Times:
Quote:Mrs. Clinton referred to Monica Lewinsky, the White House intern who had an affair with the 42nd president, as a "narcissistic loony toon," according to one of her closest confidantes, Diane D. Blair, whose diaries were released to the University of Arkansas after her death in 2000.
Awful. Mrs. Clinton used uncomplimentary terms, in private, to refer to the 24 year old college graduate intern who bent over and threw her skirt up in Clinton's face which commenced an affair. What are you expecting, Hillary sending handwritten invitations to Monica for White House tea?
To be honest, I actually do feel a little sorry for Monica, she confided in her "friend", Linda Tripp, who led her right into the hands of the FBI. Monica doesn't deserve any applause for what she did, but she didn't deserve to become a national spectacle either. But that wasn't any of Bill Clinton's doing-that was the work of the people who were after Clinton.
