Love her or hate her, America can't seem to get enough of Sen. Hillary Clinton.
The latest literary examination of the former first lady — "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President" by Edward Klein — has produced an interesting ripple in the Zeitgeist.
Nobody much likes it.
That liberals dislike the book comes as no surprise, but that conservatives are distancing themselves from Klein is interesting. As a former New York Times Magazine editor, part of the liberal mainstream media that members of the VRWC (Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy) love to hate, he would seem a proper new darling for conservatives.
Recall that Hillary Clinton was not universally beloved as first lady. Her "Me, Too" co-presidency with Bill, notable for her failed national health-care plan (and her contempt for the stand-by-your-man, cookie-baking wife), won her few friends.
Enter Monica Lewinsky and, in a miracle of mass empathy, Hillary transmogrified from arrogant political animal to sympathetic do-right woman. Nobody kicks a wounded woman when she's down.
In fact, they elect her to the U.S. Senate.
Never mind that she had never lived in the state in which she was running. Those details could be sorted out in due course. Go Knicks! I mean, go Yankees! Go Palestine! No, Israel. Oh, whatever.
With Hillary, there's something more, a something-else that puts people on edge, something they distrust without knowing its name. It is, I think, rage.
It's the rage that comes from having to tamp herself down and play nursemaid all these years while Baby Bill swaddled himself in the raiment of public adoration.

"I am not holding My breath."
Whenever the thought of the hildebeast running for President crosses my mind, the only consolation I have is knowing how much ammunition there is - just waiting to be used against the both of them.
LOL! Carry on!
It just kills Me that people are unable to see through these two most shallow and contemptable individuals.
Best dscription I've ever heard about the Clintons described here on FR.
"We flush and flush but they just won't go down."
Correction: BLUE state America cannot get enough of her (no wonder, since there is so much of her).

"Love her or hate her, America can't seem to get enough of Sen. Hillary Clinton."
It's obvious after just a handful of posts that this statement is a crock of s**t, at least for Conservatives and other sane thinking people. I had more than enough of Hellary, the spawn from hell, all the way back to 1992. The only group that "can't seem to get enough" of Hellary, is the liberals and the Leftist MSM, which the latter continues to perpetuate said crock of s**t.
One of the most damning things the Clinton(s) (Hillary's idea I g'damn guarantee) did was firing all 93 US Attorney Generals in March 1993 to get their own people in. This provided them with a nice clean slate with no messy or pesky "investigations" into their future or past misdeeds.

"Love her or hate her, the press are desparate for the WH!"

I'm mystified as to how this particular sentence by the author, Kathleen Parker, has raised the ire of so many readers here. It is only a stylistic, literary contrivance. It simply means that whether you are a supporter of this reptile or if you are a sworn, arch enemy, anything in print (or by extension, on the internet) about her will draw you to the article.
For supporters, of course, they are looking for anything positive, or any excuse or apologetic reasoning. For detractors (like me), we're looking for facts and then ways to unmask, expose and reveal her for what we believe she is and has always been - an amoral, possibly criminal power predator.
I'm sure that I'm not speaking for all Hillary haters; only for myself, but I can say that if there is a "fascination" with this rapaciously amoral woman, it lies in the odd bewilderment that "normal people" (like most of us) feel at the stunningly blatant amorality of both of the Clintons. We can't grasp the reality that these two individuals set out to gain fame, fortune and the ultimate power - and they succeeded, over and over again, despite the blatant criminality, bending, twisting, pretzelizing all of the rules of the game to the point of subverting government agencies........and like the EverReady bunny, they keep on going and going and going.
It is like watching a living nightmare - NOT "living history." Unfortunately, it is a living national nightmare that won't end unless or until she (at least) is severely exposed and definitively defeated - i.e. STOPPED IN HER TRACKS, once and for all.
That's my explanation for why the "love her or hate her, America can't seem to get enough of Sen. Hillary Clinton" is an accurate statement. If it were NOT, then this column and a hundred like it on Free Republic would receive no readers and no responses.

I think she has pee-pee envy. She's too bitchy when cornered. People don't like bitchy people.
Charlite, I was trying to support you in my post!!
Anti-Hillary blast for the evening:
Whenever I see or hear the name Hillary Clinton, the words "A Truly Wretched Human" come to mind, regularly.
