* America's Victim is back. In all her victim-ness.

* Hillary Rodham Clinton Rodham's new book, Living History, has put her right back into glare of the spotlight of the History through which we all lived.

* The book, according to Amazon.com, is 576 pages long. Many of them will talk about the Arkansas days. One suspects some of them will talk about the successful and unsuccessful political campaigns. Still others will discuss the policy matters which interested The Hillary when she was First Lady.

* About eight people care about all of those put together, and I'm not one of them. And neither are you.

* The only pages we care about, are the ones in which she discusses Monica Lewinsky. According to the advance material reported by the Associated Press, Hillary didn't know nothin' about no interns, until Bill told her.

* "I could hardly breathe," she wrote in a passage quoted by the AP. "Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him, 'What do you mean? What are you saying? Why did you lie to me?' "

* Passing on the purple prose for a moment here, either The Hillary was the last person in the known universe to recognize that Bill had lied to her, to the staff, to his Cabinet and to the nation; OR, she was a witting co-conspirator - permitting the lie and permitting - ordering, really - others to go out and lie on his behalf to continue their personal battle against the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy."

* It was not, after all, as if The Hillary had plucked Bill out of a monastery. There had been a few random, sporadic reports of what might have been termed incidents of inappropriate behavior over the previous couple of decades.

* Nevertheless, Hillary chose to ignore it all and help direct the attacks against Republicans generally, and Ken Starr in particular.

* Until the DNA evidence which forced Bill to have to testify before the grand jury during which he gave the world, "it depends on what your definition of 'is,' is."

* Like the guy who tried the "Who are you gonna believe; Me? Or your lyin' eyes" defense, that "definition of is" stuff could not have been the type of unambiguous denial of infidelity that a suspicious spouse would have - or should have - been looking for.

* Then what did she do? Did she, recovering her breath, demand Bill do the right thing, and apologize to the nation, to his staff, and to his Cabinet? No. She enlisted their daughter in a bit of stagecraft to walk hand-in-hand between her and Bill to the helicopter enroute to the "family healing" vacation on Martha's Vineyard. Then she helped continue the attacks against the people who, as we now know, SHE knew, had been telling the truth all along.

* Who are the most thrilled people in America about all this? The nine Democrats who are attempting to gain their party's nomination for President.

* Talk about sucking the political oxygen - let's rephrase that - talk about using up all the political oxygen in the Democratic Party! Not only is Hillary everywhere, but here comes Bill suggesting there ought to be a do-over on the 22nd Amendment so people like him could run for a third term.

* Hillary does best when she is portrayed as The Victim. At least in the parts of her book which have been made public, she will be working hard to reprise her well-rehearsed role.

* On a more positive note, a stalwart of the Bush Administration is leaving his post effective COB today. Mitch Daniels, who has been the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, is resigning to return to Indiana to, as the buzz has it, run for Governor.

* When Mitch was confirmed by the Senate, this was the Mullings of January 24, 2001:
Mitch Daniels was confirmed as Director of the Office of Management and Budget yesterday. Reporters have called to ask me why Daniels, not noted as a numbers guy, should have gotten that job. My answer? "The word 'Management' is in the title ahead of the word 'Budget'.

* I was right. And for the same reason, Mitch will make a great Hoosier Governor.

* On the Secret Decoder Ring page today: A link to the Mitch Daniels item which was better known for including the business about how the Gore staff had trashed the Old Executive Office Building; and a Catchy Caption of the Day which will make your heart swell.

Hell YEAH! Pass that thing around everywhere! The more exposure that phony gets the less she can hide behind people who kiss her butt like Barbara Walters. Thanks for the compliment, it took me all freggin day to write that, but I was just so pissed off at the utter BS from Hitlery..Here`s her husband who for DECADES has sexually assaulted one woman after the other, had affairs with women, all this HIGHLY publicized, even a video tape of him trying to slip his hand in between the legs of a stewardess, and she has the GALL to say that "she was outraged, gulping for air...blah blah?" Who does she think she`s kidding? That`s not a marriage, that`s a business partnership and she`s making it out like it`s some romance novel? "OH I was gulping for air at Williams infidelity! Help me! Woe is me!" How many women out there would stand for a husband who has more affairs, sexual assaults than that guy? Any woman who puts up with that is a mental patient, which may explain Hitlery. It just constant constant constant BS from this woman (I live in NYC and i`ve had personal encounters with her majesty. When she waltzed into New York and rewarded us with her "listening tour" We got permission from her Majesty to beg her to be our Senator and she would listen.) Just total arrogance to the nth degree.
