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.

The Dems have such a bunch of manly men aspiring to the presidency:

FORMER Vermont Gov. Howard Dean had quite a scare Tuesday night at Suite 16, where he hosted a fund-raiser for his long-shot presidential campaign. The liberal Democrat was in the middle of replying to a supporter's question about his stance on gun control when he heard what sounded like a gunshot.

"Dean's legs buckled and he ducked down," an eyewitness tells us. "But it turns out it was a blown speaker." After regaining his composure, Dean popped back up and quipped, "Wow, I guess someone doesn't like me talking about gun control." page six

SO WHAT were all those sailors, along with Bill Clinton and Kim Cattrall, doing onboard the newly commissioned "USS Mason" yesterday in New York Harbor? They were part of Tommy Hilfiger's launch of his new TH Entertainment company. LizSmith

Call it Basic High Jinks : A movie about Sen. Hillary Clinton has been put on the fast track at the A&E network - and execs there want Sharon Stone to portray the former First Lady.

A&E was inspired to rush the flick into production after the Associated Press leaked dramatic excerpts of the New York senator's upcoming book, "Living History," this week. In the memoir, the pol writes that she was heartbroken, outraged and dumbfounded after then-President Bill Clinton told her he'd had an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

However, the movie won't be based on Clinton's memoir, but on Gail Sheehy's 2000 book "Hillary's Choice," which chronicled her life in the White House and public humiliation over the affair, as well as her Senate campaign.

A source familiar with the production told the Daily News' Donna Petrozzello that Stone tops the producers' wish list.

"We should be so lucky," he said.

Fortunately they don't have to worry about Sen. Clinton having veto power over casting.

Stone has been linked with the Clintons before: After the actress attended a policy conference with the then-President, Daily News columnist Mike Barnicle and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, the "Showgirls" scripter openly referred to rumors that Bill was perhaps as close to Stone as to Lewinsky.

Stone is filming in Malta, and her agent said she wasn't aware of any offers for the role.

Hillary, meanwhile, will celebrate her book with a power-packed party at the Four Seasons restaurant on June 16.

"I know there are people who say she knew [about the Lewinsky affair] all the time, but when you hear her talk with such rage and pain . . . it's impossible to believe she knew," Walters says.

Hillary's rage and pain couldn't be from years of bill's bad behavior and worst of all getting caught at it. By republicans of all people! Nahhhhh!

Satan? Sure one can make a deal with one's self. :-)

As with the limp-wrist military, they had have a "don't ask, don't tell" marriage.

[lodwick]

Come'on, the bad-aim Sinkmeister would never do that...someone might think that he had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

How 'bout that legacy?

the deal isn't working out. Must have been lots and lots and lots and lots...... of airbrushing.

[BigWaveBetty]

Maybe Rosie can dye her hair for the part of Hillary!.

Dachle: "I'm deeply concerned this floor might give way."

[lodwick]

LOL - great stuff.

[lodwick]

She really is approaching a full axe-handle.

[pubmom]

Sharon Stone? Isn't she too young and attractive?

My thoughts concerning casting the title role leaned more toward Susan Sarandon in a blond wig. The attitude to portray her realistically is certainly there. When I think Hillary, I think angry. I just don't see that much anger in Stone.

[pubmom]

The poor speaker blew in protest to Dean's boring presentation.

What a brave soul this man would be in a crisis. It reminds me of the time Jesse Jackson thought there were gunshots being fired on 'Meet the Press,' and it was a blown lightbulb.

Maybe Dean could propose making Jesse head of Homeland Security in his administration.

[lodwick]

This role cries out for Kathy Bates

Oh, yeah. I remember that. Wasn't it during the recount mess?

The San Francisco-based International Museum of Women is in talks with United States Senator Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea to co-author a piece on inter-generational issues, according to an article in the Straits Times, link

[Iowa Granny]

according to an article in the Straits Times,

Nothing shocks me anymore. However, I do believe a message of this type would have been more believable if it came from "The Kinky Times".

[Carolina]

Intergenerational issues---**shiver**

Ve vant your bloood.

[mountaineer]

Chelsea's greatest inter-generational issue is coping with having two unrepentant liars for parents.

[MaeWest]

What you don't realize is what a religious woman she is.

Haha, oh, my sides.

She talks about getting down on her knees [during the Lewinsky crisis] and praying...

Leave it to Bwabwa to get it wrong. It was Lewinsky on her knees and I don't think praying describes it.
