In her interview with Hillary Clinton, ABC News star Barbara Walters poses a question that could land her husband in a pile of trouble, asking the world's most famous cheated-on spouse: What will you do if there's another Monica Lewinsky?
Though comments by Walters herself suggest that she avoided some of the most politically perilous questions, ABC's top interviewer said Friday she found one question more difficult to ask than any other.
"The toughest question I had to ask her was, what if he does it again?" Walters revealed to radio host Don Imus, adding, "And that's not in [Hillary's] book."
Unless Mrs. Clinton somehow dodged the question altogether, her response could spell trouble for either her political career or her marriage. And maybe both.
If the nation's top elected Democrat says she'll let another Lewinsky-like episode slide, it will further erode the credibility of her claims that she was upset by Bill's first fling with Monica - confirming once and for all that their marriage is a cynical, politically motivated hoax.
But if she threatens to take action the next time Bill is caught with his pants down, she'll have to follow through - or be exposed as a complete fraud. In that case, reporters are liable to begin paying closer attention to some of Mr. Clinton's post-presidential extracurricular activities.
In just the two years since the former first couple left the White House, he has been linked to dozens of women. Last year the Australian press was full of reports about local TV star Charlotte Dawson's "date" with the ex-president. Other reports linked him to supermodel Naomi Campbell.
Campbell's spokesman denied a report that his client was canoodling with the ex-president, explaining to the Washington Post last June that the supermodel was instead involved with Mr. Clinton's personal aide, Douglas Band.
The paper described Band as "so stern and strapping" that he's often mistaken for a member of Clinton's security detail.
Oddly enough, Campbell's alibi matches Ms. Dawson's denial almost exactly. A spokesman for the Aussie TV star told the New York Post last July that his client wasn't dating Mr. Clinton, insisting instead that reporters had mistaken Hillary's husband for one of the ex-president's "more strapping, macho security guys."
Whether or not Hillary buys the "security guy" explanation, if she tells Barbara Walters that she'll clobber Bill after the next Monica, Mr. Clinton's "strapping" bodyguard is going to have his hands full in more ways than one.

Which is precisely why Hilliary! chose her...
I don't know you, probably never will. |
Having said that, I cannot thank you enough for posting that picture.
We are going to have so much fun with this.......just watch and see! Dredging up all the dirt from her past......all the lies.....evasions......and pure bullship too.
I agree! I think (hope) reporters are going to crawl all over this book with a fine-toothed comb, exposing every prevarication and contradiction.
I'd truly forgotten how maddening the hillbillies are. Oooooozy lies.
Now that is really a sad pronouncement for any Democrat....
