Private life: New book could set back Hillary's presidential campaign with claims that she only stayed with Bill for her own political ends

 

Hillary Clinton's Presidential ambitions suffered a setback last night with the claim that she knew Bill Clinton was unfaithful long before his seduction of Monica Lewinsky.

The only aspect of the sex scandal that is said to have surprised his wife was that his relationship with the White House intern lasted so long.

And she was furious that he used the Oval Office for his liaisons, according to a new book by Sally Bedell Smith, one of America's most respected biographers.

Ms Bedell Smith says in For Love Of Politics that Hillary's reaction on learning that Bill's sex sessions took place at their official residence was that her husband 'couldn't be that insane'.

The author also claims Hillary tolerated Bill's womanising – and helped to cover it up – because she believed her slick husband was essential to her own political ambitions.

Mrs Clinton could not be reached for comment.

But a friend said: 'This was always going to come out and Hillary knew that.'

There was speculation that the claims would help Barack Obama, her closest rival for the Democratic nomination.

The rest of us knew it, Hillary.  Your naïveté is one of your numerous, dangerous liabilities.

so what...I have a book in the library that says Bill fell in love with Hillary becasue Hillary loved three wys....two women and Bill....Bill said “ cool, I’m all in”

[I see my hands]

No one cares.

But one of the fawning press that follows Hillary was able, prior to this, to get Hillary on the record about the veracity of her autobiography. Yeah - the one in which she professes to be shocked at the news from Bill that the Lewinsky affair was true - the night before the grand jury testimony. She lies like a rug.

Make that “none”.

What about the Clintons being drug lords in Mena, Arkansas? Now there’s a story.

[purpleraine]

Thank goodness I believe in the hereafter. It is the only place justice will ever be brought to the Clintons.

[penowa]

Not exactly “new” news. I wouldn’t count on this having any effect on Hillary’s electability.

Bill Clinton’s Arkansas state environmental director (state cabinet post) left Bill to work for my dad.

Hillary knew all this stuff and everyone knew she was stronger and he feared her. I think I first heard this around 87

This is a long one; but well worth the watch. I am blown away by how deep their involvement goes in the Mena, Arkansas drug trade.

I think Hillary knew she married a philanderer and stuck with him because he would help get her where she wanted to be one day. It really was a a two for one deal.

It’s NOT her”naivete’”,it’s that she knows that her willing accomplices(Drive Bys)will give her all the cover they can!!!

The author also claims Hillary tolerated Bill's womanising – and helped to cover it up – because she believed her slick husband was essential to her own political ambitions.

I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell ya. Who'd a thunk......

[goldstategop]

If Hillary had not married Bill, she would not be in contention for President today. She couldn't get in on her own merit. Her only qualification is she's married to an ex-POTUS.
