The Guild 6-5-2003 Need to vent about Hillary's book - This is the place

Hillary Rodham Clinton shows her softer side in her new book, taking some responsibility for "botching" health care reform and not being sensitive enough to people who thought she should be a traditional first lady.

But the New York senator does not apologize for the causes she felt passionate about.

[mountaineer]

You don't think the legal scholar, Hillary, actually has a problem with perjury or obstruction of justice, do you?

[mountaineer]

Given Chelsea's rather slutty behavior of late, I'd say she learned her lessons well from dear ol' dad.

[mountaineer]

ACK! PTUI! Gag alert:

The author's life did not start with Bill Clinton, and neither does the book. Clinton begins with her own childhood in the Chicago suburbs, where her hardworking yet abrasive father, Hugh Rodham, taught her to fire a gun, and her mother, Dorothy, was a dutiful housewife. A fear of poverty shaped much of their lives, so much so that even in the lap of White House luxury, Clinton says she dutifully wrapped leftovers to ensure nothing went to waste.

.... Several years later, while studying law at Yale, she met the only man who could make her laugh, who in time would bring her more sadness than she said she had ever felt. "One of the first things I noticed about Bill was the shape of his hands," Clinton writes. "His wrists are narrow and his fingers tapered and deft, like those of a pianist or a surgeon. When we first met as students, I loved watching him turn the pages of a book. Now his hands are showing signs of age after thousands of handshakes and golf swings and miles of signatures. They are, like their owner, weathered but still expressive, attractive and resilient." source

------------------

Considering she hardly knows where those hands have been (or on whom), rather strange things to say, don't you think?

[mountaineer]

.... In a Q&A session, the New York senator told TIME, "I can certainly forgive Ken Starr as a person, but I don't think any of us should forget the misuse of the legal system and the subversion of the Constitution that he was part of, because those are lessons we need to learn."[Um, Hillary, you and your beloved misused the legal system and subverted the Constitution, not Ken Starr]

Regarding the Bush Administration and the Republican Party, Clinton said many of their policies are quite radical and that they are attempting to dismantle the federal government. [Time for a history lesson for the witch: our founding fathers strove mightily for a limited federal government, not the oppressive, confiscatory behemoth she and x42 aspired to create and maintain. Radical? Hardly.] source

Questions we WISH baba would ask Shrill"

"Mrs. Clinton, was there a reason you didn't write about the time you tried to join the Marines, but they belittled you as a woman and turned you away?"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Cordova Belle]

I pray you are correct. But I fear there are thousands of Hillary fans who will buy the book just to know in their heart-of-hearts that they did their part to make this trash a success. Inexplicably, Hillary has die-hard followers (like Jesse Jackson and Louis Farakan). Hard to imagine, isn't it?

[Cordova Belle]

Questions I would have asked Hillary, if I had been Barbara Walters:

1. Isn't it true, Mrs. Clinton, that YOU are the one who hired Craig Livingstone?

2. Could you explain--and this time, make it something we can believe--how it was you turned $1,000 in cattle futures into $100,000 over night? Would you and Martha Stewart get along in adjoining cells?

3. Why did you leave your loyal friend Maggie Williams twisting slowly in the wind?

4. What the REAL reason you fired Billy Dale and the restof the loyal White House travel office staff?

5. Did you ever reimburse the White House for the price of that lamp you threw at Bill and smashed against a wall (according to Secret Service accounts)?

6. What was REALLY going through your mind while you staged the romantic/fake dance with Bill on the beach?

7. Where were the Rose law firm records all that time?

8. Were you the one who put them out on the table in the upstairs library? And if so, why?

9. What was in the personal papers that your cohorts took out of Vince Foster's office immediately after his murder, but before the authorities were allowed to enter? and why were they locked out until the paper-rifling was done?

10. Who ordered his death--you or Bill?

11. Does the power you enjoy now REALLY compensate you for having lived with a lying, traitorous rapist all these years?

12. and lastly, Mrs. Clinton, how DO you sleep at night?

[Cordova Belle]

See #147, for starters!

Anyone else have a few??? ;-)

I heard one of the TV commentators quoting from Hillary's version of events, and I was struck by this phrasing:

"As a wife, I wanted to wring his neck".

Isn't that an odd way to express it? "As a wife". Does that sound to you like some OTHER person wrote that sentence?

[Endeavor]

Yes.

[Endeavor]

"Clinton told graduates at school that he was disappointed at how Americans reacted when France opposed the war in Iraq."

Keep talking, Bubba.

[Endeavor]

By the way, welcome back. I thought about you guys this week as I was getting rained out in DC. Hope your time in NC was drier.

Now, back to the 'beaste: Can you honestly believe the woman was "gasping for air?" Even if she were (8 mos before) only a classless witch would say so.

Can you just hear Margaret Thatcher saying, "I was gasping for air the moment I learned that the Falklands were being invaded?" Of course you can't!

[mountaineer]

The "gasping for air" business is an effort to make it sound like 1) cheating on Hitlery wasn't a regular event for x42; and 2) she really gave a rat's rear if he did, like a woman in a normal marriage would. In other words, it's bunk.

[Endeavor]

Tiny Pinocchio's probably got a handful of anomalous parts, too. Why do people do this to animals? Where's PETA when you need them?

[mountaineer]

Tiny Pinocchio reminds me of the Chihuahua who lives across the street. His owners tie him up in the front yard, where he does nothing but yap all day. I call him the barking rodent.

[Endeavor]

"...even in the lap of White House luxury, Clinton says she dutifully wrapped leftovers to ensure nothing went to waste."

Oh yeah, I buy that. (sarcasm/)

[Endeavor]

Is there going to be a live thread for Baba and the B*tch tonite? And what about Fox News "The Big Story" which follows BaBa and aims to debunk Shrillary's "own words?"

[submarinerswife]

[Endeavor]

V I C T I M !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 'beaste says she's a victim, hunted by that good 'ol "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy." Evil people were out to get them. Imagine how surprised she'll be when she wakes up in Hell and finds out just who truly evil people are.

I find it hysterically funny that she refuses to discuss her husbands infidelities, preferring to keep that "private."

How can she continue to play the Queen of Naivete while claiming to be competent to be Pres? Hello?

[Iowa Granny]

Great book cover. Thanks for bringing it here.

Can someone please tell me what time the Fox Shrill show is on?
