Walters to Hillary: What About the Next Monica?

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.

All this hype and publicity is how you go about selling a sleazy book...is it all about Bill's adultery or is it about Hillary the Victim? I think it is the latter, trying to get all “hurt wives and other women” in line to vote for her. Any woman who thinks Hillary is the injured party here has not been paying attention...Hillary is the enabler...she sanctions the adultery, just as long as he doesn’t get caught and he got caught, hence the pain. The journalists cover up for bad-boy/girl democratic politicians however, let a republican man or woman politician step on their neck tie and man it is front page news!

Why couldn’t Newt receive money for his book? Can someone tell me what the difference is here? – I mean he wasn’t getting anywhere near $8 Million dollars, why can Hillary get paid and he couldn’t – she is a Senator, I am confused here.

I doubt there is anything new in the book other than new spin and slants, she can't remember anthing anyway, don't buy it, the pages will be too slick for the outhouse any-hoo........

What will you do if there's another Monica Lewinsky?

I think that the bent nub is out of the fly on that one.

Hasn't that happened already - in both cases?

What will you do if there's another Monica Lewinsky?

-------------------

If there's another Monica Lewinsky it will suit Hillary just fine. If Bill is busy with other women, it kepps him of Hillary. She will turn the business to her political advantage by portraying herself as a brave victim. His is being excessively narrowed to Monica. It should be about Broaddrick, Jones, et all. Bill Clinton bears a strong personality resemblance to serial killer Ted Bundy. That obvious conclusion is what is being avoided here.

I'm surprised Barbra would ever ask a tough question -

-----------------

It's a soft ball question. See my earlier post. Bill is a Ted Bundy type psychopath who has been enabled by Hillary and the media.

Time's graphic designers aren't as skilled in Photoshop as the book designers.

It's outrageous Time gave her the cover. I mean who is she anyway but a conniving Dumbocrat who bought her senate seat by selling pardons to the world's most notorious thieves and crooks. Her impeached husband failed at the presidency. And they give her a cover b/c she connived to write a book on stuff she should have told prosecutors. Go figure.

I stopped trying to do that long ago. I am outraged about the cover, talk about hype, I think that it is fear from the hilliary camp that the book will not sell.

Who cares? It's their marriage. If she wants to let Bill roam, it's no business of anyone.

It's important because they are such fake liars about it. Hillary not only lets Bill "roam" she doesn't care at all what he does, they're marriage is partly a prop for photo-ops, partly because Hillary has decided marriage looks better than divorce when you're running for political office, and partly so they don't have to testify against each other. The Clintons are complete frauds and it's all for power.

Very true. "Roam" was used when the word "Rape" should have been used.

Has the President been given a flattering full-cover portrait shot on Time's cover? Did Newt when he wrote a book (and was roundly chastised for it)?

What do you do if there's another Juanita Broadrick?

But the reality was far worse than the NBC interview had revealed. Here is the testimony Broaddrick told to Diana Woznicki as part of the investigation conducted during the Clinton impeachment. "When the Attorney General arrived, he was alone. Broaddrick was completely at ease because, after all, this was a business meeting. The two engaged in some general small talk, and Broaddrick ushered Clinton to the window, where the coffee service was laid out.

Suddenly, Clinton began kissing her, at first not forcefully. But then he threw her on the bed and kept kissing her. She struggled to get away, and as she did, he got on top of her and bit her lower lip as a way of controlling her. Every time she struggled, Clinton bit harder to keep control of her. She kept saying no, that she didn't want this to happen. The pain became excruciating. He forced her legs apart and raped her. At one point in the attack, Clinton assured Juanita that there was no danger of her getting pregnant. He said, "I had mumps when I was a kid; I'm sterile." Finally the ordeal appeared to be completed. Clinton rose up slightly as though he were about to with draw. Then he said, "My God, I can do it again! " And he did.But the reality was far worse than the NBC interview had revealed.

When Clinton finally completed the assault, Broaddrick was close to collapse. She was sobbing uncontrollably , afraid of what might happen next, confused, and in a panic. Clinton appeared unfazed. He coolly rose from the bed and went into the bathroom. All the time Juanita was afraid to move. He emerged after a few minutes and started to walk out. When he reached the door, he turned to his sobbing victim, still lying on the bed, smiled and said, "You better do something about that lip. Get some ice on it." Then he put on his sunglasses and left."(1)

No, to both questions. You may recall that Newt was given the "creepy vagrant" treatment when his picture appeared on Time. The graphic artist darkened his picture and highlighted every pore on his face, as well as his five o'clock shadow.

Another reason Monica is just fine with Hillary is she was a prostitute more than glad to service him ---which kept him from raping women in the White House ---possibly an innocent young intern, or he'd have been out looking for action on the streets which would have been too easily discovered. Bill is pathological ---and he is a rapist. That hurts Hillary's career --and she can't have that.

----------------------------

This is a masterfully crafted script benefitting the Clintons. Bill is portrayed as being a jovial wandering party boy instead of a serious aggressive psychopath. Hillary is presented as an embarrassed victim instead of a knowedgeable enabler and protector of that psychopath. They've pulled it off. Nobody, except myself, seems able to point that out. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MONICA LEWINSKY. IT NEVER HAS BEEN.

Isn't it interesting that Hillary's grandparents ran a whore house in Scranton PA., and this is who she married.

Who says there is no God?

[OldFriend]

It's kind of pitiful that it had to be someone like this first rate grifter, but wouldn't it have been something if someone like Barbara Bush had run for Senate and won. I would be so darned proud.

If Laura Bush was able to accomplish such a feat I would be cheering her on every step of the way.

[OldFriend]

Time gave OJ Simpson a cover too!!!

[OldFriend]

Didn't every single newsmagazine have President Bush on their cover with him in his flight suit??????????????

Sorry, couldn't resist!

[Jim Noble]

Every time we push the "Hillary is lying about Monica" line, she gets more popular.

Hillary will be beaten over socialism, or she won't be beaten at all.

Why do you suppose HRC and her flacks are directing the discussion to Bill's blowjobs?

Hint: It isn't because it hurts her...
