Hillary Rodham Clinton shows her softer side in her new book, taking some responsibility for "botching" health care reform and not being sensitive enough to people who thought she should be a traditional first lady.
But the New York senator does not apologize for the causes she felt passionate about.

"Please feel sorry for me! I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying!"
And a warning... Hurl Alert!
"It took me a while to figure out that what might not be important to me might seem very important to many men and women across America."

Washington -- Frankly, when I heard that Hillary Rodham Clinton had signed a deal to write a book for $8 million I doubted that she would write a word of it. For one thing, whenever Hillary testifies she lies. Any prosecutor who has ever pursued her knows that, and any publisher willing to fork out $8 million for a book wants it to be at least plausible. For another thing, when she published her last book, It Takes a Village, she did not write the book -- and, of course, lied about that. She claimed the mawkish little monograph was from her pen and her pen only, when actually it was written by Barbara Feinman. Everyone suspected Hillary had lied about writing the book. It was simply too free of lies for it to be her work. Angered by Hillary’s insistence that she alone had written the book, Miss Feinman leaked the news that Hillary held séances with Eleanor Roosevelt. Naturally, Hillary then lied about that too. |

“I was furious and getting more so by the second. He just stood there saying over and over again, ‘I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I was trying to protect you and Chelsea.’”Note to Shrillery: WE ARE NOT PLEASED!!Hillary insists that until that moment she believed Clinton had merely been foolish for paying attention to Lewinsky, who now runs a website selling handbags.
Hillary adds: “I was dumbfounded, heartbroken and outraged that I’d believed him at all.”
She describes how the President’s eyes welled with tears when she ordered him to confess his 18-month fling to 18-year-old Chelsea.
---snip---
But aides fear Hillary’s decision to put the scandal back in the limelight could hit her chances of becoming the first female US president.
One former White House staffer who worked for her said the explicit detail could remind the public of the family’s sordid past — or provoke pity and show her as a truthful, wronged woman.
The aide added: “This seems like a gamble. I hope it works but I think it’s going to open a lot of old wounds.”
But last night Hillary said: “This is a story about an extraordinary time in my life and in the life of our country.
“I think the book will give people more insight and perhaps answer questions, but it’s also my story and obviously I will be pleased when people can judge for themselves.”
Actually, I have come to forgive Hillary Clinton for everything done in the past. It's the present and future damage to the country which the Clinton Crime Machine is doing and will do if not stopped that is a bit of a "hanging chad".
Hill banished Bill to isle doghouse
Former first lady Hillary Clinton confesses that, during her sex-scandal-sullied summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard in 1998, she and the Philanderer-in-Chief slept in separate quarters.
<!ENDSUMM!>But Track fans knew way back then that Bill was out of the big bed. In fact, the First Couple didn't just sleep in separate beds at their borrowed compound in Edgartown.
Oh, nooooo. Most of the time they were in separate houses! Bubba was banished to the guest cottage all the way across the lawn. Right by the pig pen!
Of course, Hillary's recollection of things is a tad different.
``He slept downstairs, I slept upstairs,'' she writes in ``Living History,'' the former first lady's memoir of eight years in the White House - including, of course, the fallout from Bill's carryings-on with Monica Lewinsky.
Well, that's technically correct. Because Bill did have a room on the first floor. But Bubba spent most of his time that summer holed up with his fellow hound, Buddy, in a small guesthouse that he used as a gym, office and presidential doghouse!
The guest digs are not far from the pigpen where Cambridge real estate czar Dick Friedman - the Clintons' Vineyard host - kept his prize porkers, Lucy, Di and the late Henrietta.
According to Hil's memoirs, which were slipped to the Associated Press, Clinton lied to her about Lewinsky but was forced to confess on Aug. 15, 1998, a week before he had to spill his guts to the grand jury.
Four days later, the Clintons arrived on The Rock.
``Buddy, the dog, came along to keep Bill company,'' Hillary writes. ``He was the only member of our family who was still willing to.''
Hillary describes a real fun family holiday. While on the island, she felt ``nothing but profound sadness, disappointment and unresolved anger. I could barely speak to Bill, and when I did, it was a tirade.''
Of course, it was well chronicled Clinton appeared to be grounded for most of that stay. His daily - and sometimes twice-daily - rounds of golf were radically downsized to just a couple of outings.
And when the First Family first arrived, the couple didn't even get off the plane together!
In fact, things got so ugly during the Vineyard vacation, at one point, the prez - in a real-life ``Wag the Dog'' scenerio - rocketed off The Rock to rocket (unsuccessfully) Osama bin Laden.
A spokeswoman for Lewinsky said the former presidential paramour has no comment on the Hillary book.
``She hasn't seen it yet,'' said Barbara Hutson.
The book hits shelves Monday.

OK, think about this.
In this book Hillary says he woke her up the day before his grand jury testimony in August to tell her he'd lied to her. Well, think back. When she went on the Today Show in January, 1998 and claimed there was a "vast right wing conspiracy", Matt Lauer asked her how she learned about Lewinsky.
Hillary said Bill woke her up and said "You won't believe what's in the papers this morning".
No way he woke her up BOTH times.
Here's how it went:
Bill: I'm going to agree to go before the grand jury...I'll have to plead for forgiveness.
Hill: Yes, that's the best strategy. Now, you know you'll have to come in my bedroom, close the door and pretend you just "confessed" to me...right? I'll do some screaming and you'll walk out looking contrite.
Bill: Yeah, that'll work. But why don't you try choking and gulping for air....that turns me on.
That was the Martha Vineyards vacation where they just happened to be caught slow daning in the lagoon wearing swim wear?
Would that be some sort of Bohemian vacation?

They've slithered up from the ooze to educate the unwashed (in case we missed it the first time) how Her Heinous, the all knowing and seeing, must show us the way to a happy society. (Are we sure she has a heart?)
Uh-oh goota run big thunderstorms!!!!
I'm trying to find the image with the shark landing on the beach next to them. I don't think it was a Registered image.
Yes, that would be her butt and squishy ankles.
We played golf twice while on vacation. My three-inch spike heels caused a few problems on the putting surfaces, and wreaked havoc with my follow-through, but no one noticed, blinded and bedazzled as they were by my Mariah Carey golf duds:
FORE!
Welcome back. Boy, did we miss you.
I love it too! So what the windows need washing, that would be a much more important task.
When I was still over at Lucianne there was news that The Squid would be working on a book. One of the most beloved posters there declared that when Squid's book hit the book stores he would go to the book store, find Squid's book and plant nose gold between the pages. Eeewww!!! But LOL!!!
Face the nation didn't bother with any of it, they were busy talking about the nine dwarfs.
With God's help GWB and others will bring peace to the M.E. and it's got all the Bush haters quaking in their boots.It's most perplexing to the Bush haters, how is it that this man, the one without any gravitas, can be so effective in international matters?!!!!
Bless their hearts, dims have no clue. :-)
Mention of Lewinsky Irritates Walters: "Let's Move On!" (The View)
Walters: "And you know what attracted her the most -- I'll give one thing away -- when she first met him? His hands."
I won't be able to eat for a week.
He's got a big head and big hands and she's got big ankles and a big heiny. Their movie could be called Big.Walters: "And you know what attracted her the most -- I'll give one thing away -- when she first met him? His hands."
Star Jones: "You said that, Joy."
Vieira: "Oh, big hands, big hands."
Behar: "Yeah, he's got a big head, too. I love that."
Jones: "Yeah, Joy likes his hands and his head."
Behar: "His hair and his head -- it's huge."
Vieira: "But he doesn't have big feet. I met him, he did not have big feet, but he had big hands. I thought that was interesting."
LOL You, my dear, are on a great roll this week.
Rich Galen's take on Shrillery's book [Hysterical!]
She's Baaaack!

* 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.
Now on a lovelier note, our President loves his troops!!
President Bush (news - web sites) runs with outstretched arms to cheering American troops at al-Udeid air base in Doha, Qatar, as he prepares to board Air Force One for a return flight to Washington, Thursday June 5, 2003. The soldiers and airmen waited in sweltering 100-degree-plus heat to greet the commander-in-chief as he wrapped up a seven-day trip to Poland, Russia, France and the Middle East. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
And they love him:
Wash and wear no doubt.
* 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.
Poor hillary will be the victim yet again when her book is released next week. You see J.K. Rowling's new Harry Potter book is due out next week also and is expected to blow hillary's! right out of the book stores.
Don't be angry hillary!. It's for the children! LOLOLOL!!!
