TODAY'S EDITORIAL: What a shame that the media have chosen to focus on a single tawdry chapter of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s life in her new autobiography, “Living History.”

In recent days, not one cable-news talking head has discussed the remainder of the book, which details Mrs. Clinton’s extraordinary career and a life lived at the forefront of history.

As for those who don’t believe for a minute that Mrs. Clinton didn’t know about her husband’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, who can really say? Everyone, even the powerful, has an Achilles’ heel, a blind spot in their lives. Perhaps Mrs. Clinton’s is the man she married. Would it really be surprising that, despite Bill Clinton’s history of infidelity, she would believe that not even he would be so foolish as to risk his presidency?

It’s too bad Mrs. Clinton’s accomplishments are overshadowed by something not of her making.

[ResistorSister]

OK - Don't you just hate it when editorials declare "extraordinary career" without defining it?

Will some readers take a stab at creating a list of Hillary Clinton's extraordinary career that has brought her to the forefront of history?

Help me create a list of "Mrs. Clinton's accomplishments" - Thank you.

The Canton Suppository can just stick it!

That writer's pleas disgust. ;o)

You have that right.

btw: Don't you just hate it when you screw up a headline? ;-)

[Freakazoid]

I didn't. It just made sense.

[ResistorSister]

Yeah, it does make sense. Good call.

[hapy]

her accomplishments
1. failed healthcare program
2. failed education programs in her old home town. (that would be her other home town)
3. failed to keep her husband from straying
4. failed to keep her promise to New Yorkers that she ran on.

I think it is in Hillary's best interest that we talk about sex or lack of

[ResistorSister]

How about failure to slim those hips?

I agree with you, sex talk is in Hillary's best interest.

Thanks for the list.

Help me create a list of "Mrs. Clinton's accomplishments" - Thank you.

She ain't Tammy Wynette?

She was the first "Co-president"?

She was the only person in the United States that didn't know Sick Willie was boinking Monica?

She can't bake a mean cookie?

Ah, but for her real Accomplishment: She voted for more spending than any other Sinator.

If that ever happens to me, I will click the "Report Abuse" link and ask the Powers-That-Be if they wouldn't mind correcting my blunder.

They usually take care of it within minutes, effectively destroying any evidence that it ever happened. Er, I mean, I've heard that's how it works. ;O)

[ResistorSister]

LOL - Thanks!

[ResistorSister]

Ah, but for her real Accomplishment: She voted for more spending than any other Sinator.

Do you know where I can find a list of which Sinators are the biggest spenders?

Thanks for your list.

[Dante3]

When it comes to blatant lies, she has few her equal.

[razorback-bert]

Number one on any list for me, is turning $1,000 into $100,000 in cattle futures, it was the first serious (series) bribe given her to stay with bill.

[Howlin]

I agree with you, sex talk is in Hillary's best interest.

Yes, it makes her a victim -- again.

TODAY'S EDITORIAL: What a shame that the media have chosen to focus on a single tawdry chapter of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s life in her new autobiography, “Living History.”

The Hillary worshippers and Queen of the Damned herself can delude themselves into thinking (the few) people who bought her book did so because they were interested in "Living History."

Bullsh*t. People who wasted money on the book bought it for the MonicaGate chapter, period--same thing that motivates people to buy a National Enquirer when they see "Hillary Catches Bill with Twin Models" on the front cover. No one's interested in Hillary!'s boring socialist ideas or anything else she might have to say. Her book has prurient value only.

Just like a teenager who buys a CD but only listens to one song on it, the saps who buy "Lying History" are only doing so to get at the one gossipy, lie-filled chapter about Monica's Thong.

[SGCOS]

...not one cable-news talking head has discussed the remainder of the book,

Why bother? That's all bull$hit too.

[fhayek]

You forgot her career at Rose Law Firm. She was only given five cases in fifteen years, she couldn't keep track of records and one of her partners was ripping her off. Success just drips from her every pore.

[fhayek]

...and she didn't have much luck in investing in Real Estate, either.
