She Knew. Everyone Knew.

The Clinton spin machine drones on.

The media are reporting today that in her new book, Living History, Hillary Clinton claims she believed Bill's denials of an affair with Monica Lewinsky for some six months. Not until the weekend before his August 17, 1998, grand-jury testimony, when he confessed to her, did she accept the truth.

Hillary writes:

I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him, 'What do you mean? What are you saying? Why did you lie to me? I was furious and getting more so by the second. He just stood there saying over and over again, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I was trying to protect you and Chelsea."

It was once said of Hillary that she was one of the 100 smartest lawyers in America. Can she actually be this dumb? I think not. This is just the latest in her unending line of deceptions. Everyone knows that Bill Clinton is a serial philanderer — at best. In fact, here's some of what Hillary — and the rest of the world — knew about Bill before her husband's August 15, 1998, confession.

Gennifer Flowers: excerpt from January 27, 1992, press conference

"Yes, I was Bill Clinton's lover for 12 years." [I lied] "to protect him....The truth is I loved him. Now he tells me to deny it. Well, I'm sick of all the deceits, and I'm sick of all the lies."

Paula Jones: excerpts from May 6, 1994, complaint in Jones vs. Clinton & Ferguson

Count 20. "[After being escorted to a hotel suite where she was left alone with then-Governor Clinton, Clinton said to Jones] 'I love the way your hair flows down your back' and 'I love your curves.' While saying these things, Clinton put his hand on Plaintiff's leg and started sliding it toward the hem of Plaintiff's culottes. Clinton also bent down to attempt to kiss Jones on the neck."

Count 21. "Jones exclaimed, 'What are you doing?' and escaped from Clinton's physical proximity by walking away from him. Jones tried to distract Clinton by chatting with him about his wife. Jones later took a seat at the end of the sofa nearest the door. Clinton asked Jones: 'Are you married?' She responded that she had a regular boyfriend. Clinton then approached the sofa and as he sat down he lowered his trousers and underwear exposing his erect penis and asked Jones to 'kiss it.'

Kathleen Wiley: excerpts from March 15, 1998, on CBS's 60 Minutes

"Then [Bill Clinton] kissed me on my mouth and pulled me closer to him. And ... I remember thinking...'what in the world is he doing?' he touched my breasts with his hand ... and he whispered ... 'I've wanted to do this ever since I laid eyes on you.' And ... then he took my hand, and he put it on him. And, that's when I pushed away from him and ... decided it was time to get out of there."

"... When I think back on it, it was kind of like I was watching it in slow motion ... And, at the same time ... I thought, 'Well, maybe I ought to just give him a good slap across the face.' And then I thought, 'Well, I don't think you can slap the President of the United States."'

Hillary knew then, and she knows now, that Bill's a satyr. Indeed, Hillary was Bill's top damage-control strategist. It will be interesting to see if Hillary's book makes it into the fiction section of the nation's bookstores, where it belongs.

I think you ought to stand outside with copies of this:

The sad reality JONH is that a good portion of married women in good ole USA are so unhappy with their good spouses that they will believe anything this shrew has to say....

[ALOHA RONNIE]

Anti-U.S. ABC, NBC, CBS-TV still refuse to protect our Right to Know by their not covering HILLARY's own worst Misbehaviors...

...starting with HILLARY's aiding HO CHI MINH's Communist Victory over Freedom and US during the Vietnam War.

The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been.

One other Fugs recollection: I have some old videos of the Ed Sullivan Show, and after a performance by Steppenwolf, Ed called the band over and asked them who their favorite musicians were. The bass player replied, "The Fugs," and Ed clearly had never heard of them - he still thought the name was "The Frogs" even after the guy repeated "The Fugs" two or three times. It's an amusing little exchange.

I believe Juanita!

[malia]

The wounded woman and The Stud - that's how the media is painting the clinton's.

In the most intimate of relationships, based on trust and respect, bill clinton cheats on his wife. If a man will cheat and lie in his marriage to his family, cheating and lies outside of his marriage, as President of the United States, is to be expected. That also goes for the enabling party, his family. All for power & money!!! They are all users.

[cgk]

I don't have the dates in front of me, but IIRC the blue dress story hit the news BEFORE Clinton went up to testify. I don't buy her not knowing story for a second. She herself on the first campaign said about her and Clinton "We've had problems," while talking about allegations put up by Gennifer Flowers.

A FUGS Discography:

[ventana]

A woman complaining of sexual harrassment by the then President of the United States could not get her day in court when the President lied under oath during a deposition designed to reveal his exploitation of females in his employ for his sexual pleasure. In the process he corrupted our system and the Presidency itself. He corrupted his political party as some decent demos had to cover for him. He forced the media to don kneepads en masse to cover for him. He also did make decisions to send troops into harms way while receiving sexual gratification in the oval office. In his pursuit of Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Gennifer Flowers, to name some, he abused his office and his privileges. If a man cannot be trusted in his dealings with underlings because he violates, illegally, a working relationship and then lies about it, he is not fit to serve in the public or private sector in a position of grave responsibility. It's that simple.

Further, the wag the dog policy of dropping bombs to deflect attention away from the Monica scandals is well-known and acknowledged by even die hard Clinton apologists. People died or were in a position to die for his political expediency.

The fact that you name no specific lies and deceits of this administration shows your argument regarding aforementioned to be wholly deficient. Try to argue rationally, not emotionally, it's a dead democrat apologist giveaway. V's wife.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[She's either stupid or a lying sack of xxx.]

My point exactly. She's either dumb or lying. Take your pick.

It was well known in Arkansas that the Clinton's "marriage" was an "arrangement" for mutual political/power benefit. We know from his publicised scandals that Bill was/is a self-hating sociopathic mysoginistic Satyr. What Hillary is one can only imagine. Probably she is a cold self-hating power-mad asexual meglomaniac. JMHO.

[Steve_Seattle]

"either dumb or lying"

And the press plays along. Susan McDougal came to town on a book tour a few months ago and told a reporter that she "barely knew" Bill Clinton, had only met him once or twice, and the reporter accepted this as fact. If the reporter had done her homework, she would have known that the Clintons and McDougals were running buddies for several years in Arkansas, as reported in "Partners in Power" and elsewhere. But the reporter was more interested in repeating McDougal's lies about the evil Ken Starr.

[lilylangtree]

Yo Hitlery! Don't have any sympathy for you. Your political ambitions are too much. BTW Kathleen Willey should have zonked your husband into a deep sleep, regardless of whether he was prez at the time.

[McGavin999]

LOL, that's exactly what she's trying to do. I heard Julian Epstein this morning telling everyone how "charismatic" Hillary is, and everyone knows how warm and open she is, and how she has a knack for remembering everyones name and making them feel good. ROTFLMCO

This is MAJOR revisionist history.

BTW there is absolutely nothing new in this section of the book. It's the same thing she said at the time and we laughed just about as hard at it in 1998 as we are now. This is just hype for the book, to get the more dumb amoung the people to part with $28.00.

[Howlin]

And if she didn't know something that was all over the newspapers and happening about six feet from where she was for eight entire months, then she couldn't possibly EVER be president of the United States. What else wouldn't she be able to figure out?

[spokeshave]

Maybe that's why the Kennedy mistress has now surfaced....they all did it....lets move on.....for the children.....you know...(with head bobbing)

[Steve_Seattle]

To finish my thought, when McDougal said she "barely knew" Clinton, that was probably Clinton-speak for, "I was bare naked with him several times back in Arkansas, when Hillary was off doing billing work for the Castle Grande development."

[Kozak]

Well in Clintonian language, since Hillary never wrote the book, perhaps the actual author of the book is the one who didn't know Slick was lying until the day before his confession speech.
You know "depends on your definition of the word is".

[Howlin]

It's the same thing she said at the time and we laughed just about as hard at it in 1998

Exactly!

You or I could have -- and probably DID -- write that line about Buddy the dog going to Martha's Vineyard. It sounds like it came right off FR.

[Howlin]

"Buddy, the dog, came along to keep Bill company. He was the only member of our family who was still willing to."

I know I saw that exact line right here back in August of 1998!

[Miss Marple]

I heard that as well. The best part was the Fox studio audience LAUGHING at him !! HA!
