WASHINGTON (CNN) -- First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton held imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi as a therapeutic release, according to a new book written by Bob Woodward, says a report in Sunday's edition of The Chicago Sun-Times.

The first lady declined a personal adviser's suggestion that she address Jesus Christ, however, because it would be "too personal," according to Woodward's book, "The Choice."

The book, which is still to be published, takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Clintons, as well as Bob and Elizabeth Dole.

Woodward says the adviser was Jean Houston, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research, which he describes as a group that studies the psychic experience and altered and expanded consciousness.

The book portrays Houston as an influential adviser who urged Mrs. Clinton to write her book, "It Takes a Village and Other Lessons Children Teach Us," and in the process "virtually moved into the White House" for days at a time to help with revisions, the Sun-Times reported.

Woodward suggests the White House hoped to keep Mrs. Clinton's relationship with Houston and her talks with the dead a secret.

I remember this when it was first reported. There is an endless amount of material for Trump to use in a sustained add campaign - when they try to respond to one thing, then go right to something else. Keep her on the defensive and force her to talk about this and so many other things.

I can definitely see her having chats with Beelzebub.

[EagleUSA]

Talking to dead -— must be thinking of all her past associates....

[Michael.SF.]

She is talking to her Presidential campaign?

[uncbob]

Yeah but Trump is the one that is unbalanced

Wasn’t Nancy Reagan pilloried for reading the stars-——or something?

[BenLurkin]

I thought it was baloney at the time. Still do.

[Lazamataz]

She’s just talking to all her 2016 voters.

[rdcbn]

She is talking to her Presidential campaign?

Given what we have seen about her declining health, she soon will be talking to herself

For what it is worth, here is the response to the allegations from the time.

This is the one that should take center stage

Yeah, it would be too personal talking to Jesus Christ to try to justify her allegiance to satan ...

[uncbob]

Agree

[digger48]

Ill-ary probably needs to spend more time channeling Betty Ford

[knarf]

Clintoon is fruit loops. She’ll make a “great” and “wild popular” president for Barack Hussein Obama’s new fundamentally deformed Amerika.
