In her own book, "Living History," Hillary Clinton warmly praises Susan McDougal, the Whitewater witness who saved her co-presidency by going to the slammer rather than telling what she knew about the Clintons' fraudulent land deal.
But in "Rewriting History," Dick Morris reveals that Hillary had a different opinion of McDougal behind the scenes.
Before it was clear that Susan had decided to stonewall prosecutors, Morris says Hillary warned him about her former Whitewater partner.
"She is such a liar. She worked for [the famous conductor] Zubin Mehta and stole his silver. She's crazy, unstable and totally dishonest. You can't trust a thing she says."
Of course, after Susan saved her bacon, Hillary changed her tune, praising her for "suffering in jail for refusing to testify before the Whitewater grand jury."
For her part, McDougal has endorsed Mrs. Clinton in both her Senate run and future presidential ambitions, telling NewsMax, "I mean, she's a scary woman. You should have her. She'll go after what she believes in and I doubt that anyone could stand up to her."
