Angry Hillary threw book at Secret Service agent

WASHINGTON – In a fit of rage, former first lady Hillary Clinton threw a book at a Secret Service agent, hitting him in the back as he was driving her here in a limousine during the 1996 campaign, former Secret Service officers and agents tell WorldNetDaily.

She accused the plainclothes agent of "eavesdropping" on her conversation with another passenger in the back seat of the limo, the agents say. The missile she hurled was a painful message for him to mind his own business.

"The book hit him in the back, and it wasn't lobbed – she was angry," said a retired uniformed Secret Service officer familiar with the incident.

"She was under the impression that he was eavesdropping on her conversation," he added. "Here he's the driver, but he was eavesdropping? I don't know how you get around that."

He said there was no center divider in her vehicle.

"It was in a limo," he said. "There's no separation in hers, not the one she was in."

The veteran officer, who helped coordinate security in advance of President Clinton's trips, says the book was in the back of the limo. "It was something that she was carrying."

He said both Clintons viewed Secret Service personnel as "Republican spies," since many of them worked in the previous Republican administrations. And they were "very skeptical of us."

Another retired Secret Service veteran, a plainclothes agent assigned to Clinton's security detail, corroborated the book-throwing account. "Yeah, it's true," he said, without elaborating.

Though retired from the service, both White House veterans have found jobs in the Homeland Security Department, and they asked that their names be withheld. Attempts to reach the driver assigned to Hillary's protective detail, also retired from the service and working in another federal agency, were unsuccessful.

A Washington Metro Police detective also recalled hearing of the incident at the time, adding that the former first lady "was pretty sh--ty to the Secret Service guys."

Phone calls to Clinton's office were not returned. The New York senator is on a book tour.

The Secret Service officer who did presidential advance said she often spoke in "unacceptable language to officers and to agents."

He said the lack of respect stemmed in large part from an overriding suspicion allegedly held by the Clintons that agents doubled as Republican plants, relaying dirt to the first couple's political enemies.

Cutting security posts

"When they came into office, because the Republicans were in for so long, they thought everybody in the Secret Service was a Republican spy," said the Secret Service veteran, who calls himself an Independent.

Soon after they took over the White House, the Clintons had agents removed from sensitive areas and permanently eliminated their posts, he says.

"They requested specific posts be removed so that agents in the uniformed division were out of earshot of the conversations," he said.

"For instance, inside the mansion itself, I know of at least two [posts] that were relocated," the former agent added. "One was relocated away from the residence; one was relocated away from the Oval Office."

He said Secret Service brass told agents to keep an "arm's distance," as much as they could, from the Clintons.

"Even on details, they wanted us where we weren't visible," he said.

"We were all spies, all spies. I mean, it was a big joke," he said. "We were giving each other secret names, like 'Agent X, it's time for you to be relieved from your post for right now,' as if we were Soviet agents or something."

The former first lady is said to be considering a run for the White House in 2008.

Her alleged book-throwing tantrum does not fit the cool and controlled demeanor the freshman senator conveys in public.

But early in the Clinton administration, Newsweek reported that Hillary had thrown a lamp at the president in a fit of anger. She later denied the incident took place while suggesting, ironically, that the Secret Service spread the story

I’m sorry but if I were that agent, at that moment in time, my career, my badge and going to jail would have meant nothing to me and I doubt there would have been enough fellow agents around to pull me off that Bitch.

You ought to hear some of the stories from the Military folks who were stationed there with the Clintons. Not much different.

[bethelgrad]

they should have assigned Agent Smith from the Matrix to her. "Mrs. Clinton, it appears that you live two lives..."

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep. Maybe one day we'll hear the famous words uttered to hitler clintoon:

'Book her, Dano !!'

I can't wait to see this report on CNN tonight and the New York Times tomorrow! Oh, I forgot, they only report these things if it's a Republican. Sorry...

[Mr. Mojo]

....an overriding suspicion allegedly held by the Clintons that [secret service] agents doubled as Republican plants

All part of "the conspiracy," I'd imagine. The Clintons are borderline psychotics.

This woman is Evil, but to no avail. She did all these henious things and yet she is still a senator in NY with millions of dollars rolling in.

I believe she is the most evil woman in America, even more evil than Bill, and Matt Drudge said she will be elected President. Maybe not in 04, but 08. I hate that idea with a passion, but I agree with Drudge. She will be President. Look how evil she is, and still won in New York and I think it was almost by a landslide. I hope with all my heart that I am wrong, but I am so cynical of American voters, that she can pull it off. The horrors of it all.

"Posted for comedy value."

It'll be no comedy if she ever wields real power.

She is the very type of a Leninist wannabe maximum leader.

Never mind Marx; she's read her Sorel. ;^)

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! I've heard others say the same thing about her book cover pic. It's touched up alright.

[DoughtyOne]

I wish the Secret Service would publish a book of their own regarding the white trash from Arkansas. Now there's a book I'd purchase and read.

[TheSpottedOwl]

That is one air brushed picture of Hillary. That's not even her body if you ask me. If it is Hillary, she must have had an over dose of Botox injections.

Has anyone seen Shirley Jones lately?

[MineralMan]

I'm no fan of Hilary, but who are these agents? As far as I've been able to determine none have ever come forth with their names. I suspect this story, and all like it where the accuser remains unnamed.

It's no wonder the rest of the media doesn't cover this story.

The lack of respect stems from the lack of manners and civility that is the hallmark of 60's radicals who love the unwashed masses but hate the individual.

Hillary Watch
The Week of August 6, 2001

Freudian Slip. Hillary let it slip in front of a full house at the National Press Club that she’s "having a great time being pres . . . being a senator from New York." As Sen. Clinton quickly corrected her "mistake," the audience erupted in laughter and she added, "You’re going to get me in an awful lot of trouble." She then reiterated, "I have said that I am not running." Hillary’s presidential aspirations have been a constant source of interest, although she has repeatedly claimed to have ruled out running in 2004, saying she will serve out her six-year Senate term.

Abusing the privilege of rank, Patterson recalls that Hillary threw a fit when Chelsea forgot her back pack after a Renaissance weekend and arrived in St. Thomas with upcoming exams but without her school books. Chelsea, a senior in high school, was not responsible for her own books. The blame was assigned to the White House valets. Clueless at best, as to what shuttling the first family around involves, Hillary once demanded that Marine One return to the White House so she could retrieve her forgotten sunglasses. She used government aircraft for her junkets to New York while campaigning for senator aboard AF C-9A’s or C-20’s, which operate at $3,366 and $3,587 per hour respectively.

I know that. But seats have backs to them. It's not like he was sitting on a shoeshine stool or anything.

"He said the lack of respect stemmed in large part from an overriding suspicion allegedly held by the Clintons that agents doubled as Republican plants, relaying dirt to the first couple's political enemies."

Why, pray tell, would innocent people be so concerned that those responsible for their safety might be spies digging up dirt....unless, of course, there was dirt to be dug and fear of being found out? Hmmmm.....

[sweetliberty]

"The problem is she thinks she's above the law."

Well, it seems that time and the fact that she has escaped accountability for countless crimes has given validity to her presumption.

ROTFL...that's classic!!!

"F***ing Jew Bastard"

Hillary and her handlers were thoroughly rattled by the assertion of one Paul Fray that young Hillary was looking for someone to blame when Bill Clinton's first political campaign crashed and burned on an Arkansas election night in 1974, and he was chosen. Mr. Fray, as it happens, is not Jewish, but Hillary knew that he, like she, has Jewish relatives.

Mr. Fray's wife said she was there, and heard it the way her husband did. A third witness, Neil McDonald, was standing outside the room and he heard it, too.
