London, June 2 (ANI): Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner to become the next American president, suffered serious bouts of depression when she was the U.S. First Lady in 1994.
According to former Watergate scandal journalist Carl Bernstein, Hillary also displayed persistent signs of melancholy as a student.
Bernstein quotes David Gergen, then a senior Clinton aide, as saying: "I don't know whether she was seeing a doctor or not but she was depressed" in his book -- "A Woman in Charge" in 1994, a year after her husband, Bill Clinton became president.
The book says Clinton's "emotional state" was "as fragile as it had ever been" in late 1994 after her close friend Vince Foster had committed suicide, her father had died and her healthcare proposals had been rejected.
Due to be published on Tuesday, the book, according to The Telegraph, could damage the New York senator's ambition to become America's first female president.
The claims are part of a potentially devastating portrait of a woman whom, Bernstein concludes, is controlling, aloof, dishonest and greatly flawed as a politician.
Although the Clinton campaign has attempted to dismiss the book, Bernstein's pedigree and sympathy towards the former first lady's policies make this difficult.
Advance media coverage has focused principally on suggestions that the Clintons came close to divorce in 1989. But accounts of Mrs Clinton's temper, tendency to bear grudges, lying, detachment and struggle to establish her own identity are likely to prove more damaging. The prospect of a commander-in-chief who might be prone to depression during a crisis could deter voters. (ANI)
An appeal for the PITY VOTE. ~ theDentist
Yeah? Imagine how many votes the Widder Clinton will get...
Vince Foster did not commit suicide.
Vince Foster was murdered by the Clintons and moved to Ft. Marcey Park.
Me too. I suffer from depression.
By the way, did Bill write the song MacArthur Park?
Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants
The poor, poor baby . . .
I have a box of straight razors I’d gladly loan her.
A warm bath. Glass of wine.
A guy can hope can’t he?
The Look of Shear Crazed Lunacy!! and she is being considered for Comander-in-Chief!! She makes John F##ing Kerry look “Fit for Command!”
They used the word 'serious.' I have never been seriously depressed. Rarely even mildly, and only for a few hours.
I disagree. Defeat should just roll off your back if you are the CIC. A president must be stable and strong enough to take a political or personal loss and not let it negatively impact forthcoming decisions.
I have been reading the Reagan Diaries, and RWR stayed very level in both victory and defeat.
There really is no need for more corroborating evidence proving that Foster was indeed murdered and that a massive cover-up followed. But if you want more, please go to HRC's book "Living History" and read her phony comments on Foster. The fact is that by the time of the crime, HRC's purported romantic relationship with the victim had fizzled (to put it mildly). They hadn't seen each other for more than a month, even though their respective WH offices were very close to each other. The crocodile tears shed by HRC on Foster's death were merely part of the cover-up.
Those pants and the stripes are sooo ugly and they seem to come together as a target on her crotch! YUK!
You have no idea just how wrong.
Even my son agrees it looks a bit like my ex...
Interesting that this is coming out a day after the hostage situation.
A stock broker, on his way home from work in New York City, came to a
dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, “Wow, this seems much
worse than usual.”
He notices a police officer walking between the lines of stopped
cars, so he rolls down his window and asks, “Officer, what’s the hold
up?”
The officer replies, “Hillary Clinton is depressed, so she stopped
her motorcade and is threatening to douse herself in gasoline and set
herself on fire. She says her husband has spent all her money and the
Democrats told her to forget about running for President in 2008, so
we’re taking up a collection for her.”
The stock broker asks, “How much have you got so far?”
The officer replies “About 75 gallons, but a lot of folks are still
siphoning.”
You owe me a new monitor!!!!!!!!!!!
All that we really know, based on the evidence that has been made public, is that Vincent Foster did not commit suicide in Fort Marcy Park. Suspecting the Clintons of murder is a reasonable conjecture, but without any proof. The real mystery to me is why two Republican special prosecutors lent their name to the cover-up.
I chopped it off at the elbows before I asked Ratboy if it looked a bit like his mom...
