PHOTO: Hillary Rodham Clinton's memoir offers a different timeline of events than Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars" and Peter Baker's "The Breach." (Dennis Cook - AP)
In "Living History," memoirist Hillary Rodham Clinton describes her gut-wrenching reaction on the Saturday morning of Aug. 15, 2000, when her husband "told me for the first time" -- as quoted by the Associated Press from a leaked copy of the much-hyped but still unreleased $8 million book -- "that there had been an inappropriate intimacy" with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
But two recent volumes -- our Post colleague Peter Baker's "The Breach" and former White House aide Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars" -- appear to differ with Sen. Clinton's account of President Bill Clinton's shocking admission and its aftermath.
"I could hardly breathe," the AP quotes the dramatic narrative by New York's junior senator. "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.' "

BTW ... MSNBC showed clip of reporter asking Hellary questions about her book yesterday
Hellary didn't answer their question and told the reporter to read the book
My question is .. did Hellary not read her book and that's why she couldn't answer the question?

Hellary didn't answer their question and told the reporter to read the bookShe's never answered a darn question honestly in her life either.Her book was written by 3 writers and surely it is 576 pages of ______. She still has to wake up every morning and look at herself in the mirror, knowing she's a manipulative Socialist, who lied when she took the oath for becoming a Senator and when she was appointed to the Armed Services Committee.(I'm still reeling in disbelief over that one)

What is important to her is getting her agenda thru .. and if that means lying .. that is find by her

When your story can't match up with Blumenthal's "fanciful" recollections that happen to cast the Clintons in the best light possible....you have problems.

I'm confused. What does she claim was so terrible, the affairs or the lie? Ahhhh, she is so hateful.

Seriously....I have laughed my butt off at Sid's excerpts.
This should work in our favor. Either Sid is exposed as a liar or Hillary is. That said, I don't think many Americans will care.

Maybe Bill had his hands around Hitlery's neck when she said that?

The interview is going to be in Chapaqua? That would be the ONLY reason I would watch. I am curious about the house the American taxpayers are paying for.
