Hillary Clinton Interview: Big Numbers, but Not as Big as Others (Monica drew more viewers)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bob-and-weave with Barbara Walters Sunday night scored less than a third as many viewers as had Walters's '99 chitchat with Monica Lewinsky, giving ABC a third-place finish in last week's ratings race.

Here's a look at the week's Lewinskys and Clintons

LOSERS

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yes, the former first lady's tight-lipped interview touting her new book copped 13.5 million viewers for ABC on Sunday -- the net's biggest summer audience in the time slot since 1995. But that number, for an interview in which Clinton was supposed to finally talk about her husband's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, is chump change compared with the nearly 49 million who watched Walters interview Lewinsky about her affair with President Clinton.

Think she'll get the message? Nah!

FABULOUS news. Can't stand Monica or the Clintons, but I'm thrilled that Lewinsky clipped old what's-er-name in the ratings. As reported by The Washington Post, no less! This story just made my week....or do I mean, month?

Mrs. Clinton's title for her so-called non-fiction book is as arrogant as she is. My hopes are that the perfidious, infamous tenure of the Clinton parasites will always remain just a mere flukish footnote in the annuls of history.

In reality, as many have posted here, her book is better titled Lying History.

For those that are willing to invest their precious time in listening to her contrived, carefully rehearsed, selected for friendliest cotton candy interviews, and money in buying this piece of meaningless sniveling delusional drivel, what can I politely say other than you are wasting your life on a lying power grasping control freaking megalomaniacal socialist old hag pig.

Think she'll get the message?

I hope somebody does tell her that JUANITA BROADDRICK 's segment on H&C had more viewers than she did.

I hope somebody does tell her that JUANITA BROADDRICK 's segment on H&C had more viewers than she did.

Pity the poor messenger.

OTOH, I'd be willing to volunteer. LOL

You've been DYING to get in her face for 11 years!
