It’s not gossip. One story I heard, and I’ll make it as generic as possible:
She came up to someone who wasn’t on WH detail who was waiting there for another reason. She was furious because she assumed he was there to attend to her needs, and wasn’t. She furiously berated the guy for a minute or two, ranting and raving. He stood there silent, waiting for a pause, at which point he said “I don’t work for you, bitch.” She froze, taken completely aback, and stood there slackjawed and mute for a few seconds, before pivoting and storming off.
Whether it actually happened or not, the story brings a smile to my face every time I close my eyes and picture it.
On the flip side, I’ve heard the exact opposite of the Bushes, particularly W. He was everyone’s favorite boss. He’d do something special for your birthday, always would ask about your wife and kids. He took a genuine interest in the people around him and made sure they were recognized and appreciated. Far from a bumbling fool, he was actually really sharp and a fine extemporaneous speaker without the cameras around.
He’s got a bad rap on the left because they’re just insane with hate, and a bad rap on the right for basically handing over the keys to those nutbars after 2006. But for quality of person, let’s put it in beverage terms: W is Chateau Lafite, and Hillary is a cup of Bill Gates’ water prior to treatment. Her soul is black.
