Hillary's "appalling behavior" loses Dominick Dunne

[Excerpt from Dunne's latest Vanity Fair column:]

In 1999, when I was covering the impeachment of President Clinton for this magazine, I wrote about the appalling manners of Congressman Tom DeLay during Clinton’s State of the Union speech. I reported the smirk on his face and the fact that he didn’t stand when the president entered the chamber. Well, fair’s fair. I have stuck by Hillary Clinton through thick and thin, despite the consternation this caused several of my friends. But she lost me on September 20 with her appalling manners during President Bush’s magnificent speech to Congress and the nation.

What was her problem? She looked mad and mean, with a scowl on her face and a hard glint in her eye. Her hand-clapping was tepid, and it appeared that she wasn’t even listening to the speech. It seemed selfish of her to be caught up in her own concerns during one of the most united moments in the history of the country. I realized that night that this new president has strength, zeal, and star power. The government was swept away in patriotic fervor, but Hillary was pissed off, about what we’ll never know. How strange, I though, the second time the camera cut to her, that a person who had lived in the public eye as the First Lady for eight years could allow herself to be caught in that mood.

Dunne is a naive booby, still under the illusion that Hillary has great political instincts, charm and smarts.I guess stealing the flatware from the WH wasn't enough to turn him off, it was here inability to fake her enthusiasm that turned the tide? This fool ought to retire...

After the 1,258,922nd intern, that probably wouldn't phase her, so I, like Dominick, wonder, what pissed her off?

Very simple. When the airplanes hit the WTC. overnight she was no longer the cvter of attention and she noo longer had the 2004 presidency in the palm of her hand.

[gas_dr]

I, like Dominick, wonder, what pissed her off?

The sudden shattering of her presidential aspirations would be my guess.

Hmmm. Sounds like the true face of the typical contemporary liberal.

FReegards,

inability to fake her enthusiasm that turned the tide?

Lord, habs, do you think Hillary EVER faked ANYTHING that might have kept her husband interested in her?

[ladyinred]

Can't wait to read the entire article. Glad Dominick, who I feel is a wonderful storyteller is finally getting it. Sometimes it takes the straw that broke the camels back to get someone to awaken.

That's easy: about the fact that those 5,000+ people weren't murdered on BUBBER's watch.

[all4one]

Ahhhh...If only these media types could have said the same things about Hellery during the Klintons' eight years in office. I am sure that her manners, or lack thereof, were even more appalling.

I was angry that the camera was focusing on Hellery during President Bush's speech. In retrospect, is has shown many people the true nature of Hellery and her husband.

Maybe the camerman is a Freeper and he was doing everyone a favor.

[Excerpt from Dunne's next Vanity Fair column:]

...in my last column. Well, Hillary personally phoned me and told me that during Mr. Bush's speech she [insert PC, sympathetic "trouble" here].
What a truly wonderful lady Hillary is!
She was so strong that she bravely suffered in silence over [insert PC, sympathetic "trouble" here] and still fulfilled her duty to go to that speech even though [insert PC, sympathetic "trouble" here]!

[jmp702]

LOL. Yep.

[#1CTYankee]

Vanity Fair?

I don't even want to know how you found this article

Wow, another convert? even whorealdo stated Pres. Bush is doing a fantastic job
Why did fox hire such a schmuck anyway?

BTW, did anyone catch the caller who asked him what is was like to have a real president in office?

Gosh, I've been trying to post for 1/2 hour, would have been #1, except I made a few mistakes.
Okay, I read DD's book a while back, I don't rememeber the name.
My thought is, he sees which way the wind is blowing and has changed his (tune? sails?) sorry , hubby & I had a few glasses of wine tonight. Hard to Freep.
DD is a very good writer, but I also think he, like everyone else in the "intellectual set" (or whatever you want to call it) in the Northeast, is politically sensitive. :)

Hidebeast is no longer queen and can no longer micro-control the cameras. This is not a new Hillary. Mr. Dunne just got a glimpse of her without the mind-numb admiration of the liberal lens.

We can only hope....

"She looked mad and mean, with a scowl on her face and a hard glint in her eye."
Yes, that's Hillary. Us New Yorkers are only to familiar with this look.

It's called ARROGANCE Dominick. As an astute reader of personalities, I'm surprised it took you so long to figure this out - WOW, we Republicans/Conservatives should be given much more credit for being educated, insightful, and not so berated! That's called TOLERANCE - something the DEMOCRATS ARE TOTALLY LACKING THESE DAYS OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS - what a joke that was! Political correctness is nothing more than a Democratic/ala Clintonian aberration.
