Hillary: I Loved Being a Homemaker

A series of bizarre comments uttered by New York Sen. Hillary Clinton to British interviewers continue to go unreported across the Atlantic, including several revealing exchanges with BBC "Woman's Hour" host Martha Kearney on July 4.

In America, for instance, few knew how much Mrs. Clinton enjoyed her role as First Homemaker, especially given her boast 11 years ago that she rejected the role of "baking cookies and having teas."

While in England, however, the top Democrat proclaimed, "I liked the traditional duties of keeping a house. ..."

"I'm not the greatest at it in the world," Mrs. Clinton told the BBC. "But I loved doing it. I mean, it was inviting people to come to your home and therefore it mattered to me what china we used, what the flowers looked like, what the menu was."

Asked about critics who derided her as "Chillary, Lady Macbeth, Heil Hillary and Shrillary," Mrs. Clinton said the attacks were a reaction to her being a feminist role model.

"Well, I think that there's a lot of debate about the issues that I present - not only the ones you're referring to, but certainly to being the first professional woman to be in the position of first lady," she told the BBC.

"For most people who make a profession out of opposing me and setting up Web sites and all that they do, it really comes down to a very different view of what our country should be," Clinton explained.

Her opponents were also reacting to her criticism of President Bush, she contended.

"I think it's a tragedy that our country has squandered the fiscal responsibility that my husband left it," she told Kearney. "I think this administration has done a terrible disservice. And people hear that and that, of course, causes the opposition to get upset."

But the top Democrat complained, "They can't really take me on, on the issues, because it's hard to argue in favor of deficits and debt, and so they practice what I call the politics of personal destruction. And, well, that's their choice."

Mrs. Clinton also gave an unusual response to Kearney's question about whether she, like her husband, had "caused pain" in their marriage.

Rather than issue a flat-out denial, she replied: "Well, I think that every one of us has, you know, all kinds of issues. I think that I've learned a lot about myself in life during these long years of marriage. And, you know, I hope that I'm a better person, a better wife, a better mother every single day."

There was even here a hint that the Clintons' marriage may not last forever. Asked how her husband would "cope with being first man," Sen. Clinton told the BBC, "Well, I don't know that he'll ever have the chance to figure that out."

!!!!"Well, I think that every one of us has, you know, all kinds of issues."!!!!

Holy Cow! Does that mean she learned to enjoy a good tounge lashing from a woman during her marrage?

What do Ted and Hillary think ?

"....they practice what I call the politics of personal destruction...."

Well, I guess you get to call it anything you want, Hitlery, since you and that slime ball that you co-infested the WH with invented the practice.

Spoken like a woman who's never actually kept house a day in her life. China and flowers.....puhleeze......in this house it's more like paper plates and my kids latest play doh creation as a centerpiece.

[OldFriend]

Actually, FR needs a laugh track. This surely qualifies for the laugher of the year.

[motherof 3]

"I love being a homemaker" ----really, when was that?

[goodnesswins]

Women following Hillary as a "role" model have probably destroyed MORE HOMES than we could count.....so...Hillary is NOT now, nor has ever been, a HOMEMAKER....she's a HOMEWRECKER of the home of the USA! (SHE makes me want to puke, but alas, I will stay well to continue the FIGHT against her ILK.)

"Well, I think that there's a lot of debate about the issues that I present - not only the ones you're referring to, but certainly to being the first professional woman to be in the position of first lady," she told the BBC.

Pardon me, but wasn't Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy a professional journalist before becoming a senator's wife and first lady? Wasn't Nancy Reagan a professional actress?

Poor Hillary, still can't be a first at anything no matter how hard she tries. I wonder what our own little Margaret Thatcher will do. Boo hoo.

Well, when Hillary begins to present herself as normal and begins lying about and attempting to conceal her true Marxist inclinations, agenda and beliefs, you know there is a reason for it.

As far as I'm concerned, the speculation about her candidacy in 2004 is now settled. The East German border guard will definitely be the rat candidate for president in '04.

Remember this came from a woman who in the first campaign said that, "I am not the kind of woman who stays at home baking cookies," March timeframe 1992. Cookie Transcript

Ahh, the power of Google.

[blackdog]

I'm beginning to think Hillary traveling to England to meet with Marxist dictators for the purposes of briefing them on the US Senate Armed Services Committee, Bush Administration policy drafts, and stirring up the third world into chiding in on a Bush second term.

The sidebar dynamics are paying big rewards when the queen bitch from America speaks.

[blackdog]

She's the kind of woman who stays at home baking up excuses which never finish baking.

[ShandaLear]

Absurd!

[Sabertooth]

I think it's unfair to criticize Hillary on this, as long as she was making her wife happy.
