I broke up with Bill a long time ago. It's always hard to remember love - years pass and you say to yourself, was I really in love or was I just kidding myself? Was I really in love or was I just pretending he was the man of my dreams? Was I really in love or was I just desperate? But when it came to Bill, I'm pretty sure it was the real deal. I loved the guy.
As for Bill, I have to be honest: he did not love me. In fact, I never even crossed his mind. Not once. But in the beginning that didn't stop me. I loved him, I believed in him, and I didn't even think he was a liar. Of course, I knew he'd lied about his thing with Gennifer, but at the time I believed that lies of that sort didn't count. How stupid was that?
Anyway, I fell out of love with Bill early in the game - over gays in the military. That was in 1993, after he was inaugurated, and at that moment my heart turned to stone. People use that expression and mean it metaphorically, but if your heart can turn to stone and not have it be metaphorical, that's how stony my heart was where Bill was concerned. I'd had faith in him. I'd been positive he'd never back down. How could he? But then he did, he backed down just like that. He turned out to be just like the others. So that was it. Goodbye, big guy. I'm out of here. Don't even think about calling. And by the way, if your phone rings and your wife answers and the caller hangs up, don't think it's me because it's not.

The NY Slimes is a real newspaper???
Wasn't she the woman who was married to Carl Bernstein, the (liberal) celebrity WashPost reporter/editor, and then found him cheating on her, and she wrote a book on it that became a Jack Nicholson movie?
Yeah, she probably knows what she is talking about here.
Nora Ephron's introduction to screenwriting came in the 1970s, when she was dating Carl Bernstein, of Woodward and Bernstein, the journalists who broke the Watergate story and served as the main characters of the film "All the President's Men." Parts of William Goldman's original screenplay caused concern for the real life journalists, and Bernstein, along with Ephron, "fiddled with it" to make the screenplay more acceptable to the journalists.
Ephron, then a journalist, recounted her role at the typewriter, capturing their changes and retyping many of Goldman's original sections that they retained. By the time they finished revising Ephron had learned the skills behind the art of screenwriting. Although many were appalled at Bernstein and Ephron's actions, the film went on to win several Academy Awards, including one to Goldman for the screenplay.
Ephron, the acclaimed screenwriter, producer and director of hit movies such as "When Harry Met Sally," "Sleepless in Seattle," "You've Got Mail," and "Michael," discussed the roots of her career with a group of Columbia School of the Arts students on Nov. 8. During the course of the evening, the three-time Academy Award nominee also offered tips on screenwriting and directing and discussed the role of women in Hollywood.
Her entry into the film world came as surprise to Ephron. "The last thing in the world I wanted to be was a screenwriter. I had no interest in the movie business," the New Yorker told a crowded room in Dodge Hall, joking that her parents were screenwriters. "I always wanted to be a journalist."
Poor Nora writing in the NY Slimes that her love affair ended early.
Doubtful.
She still loves the slavering idiot, why else go through
through the process of writing about Willie love unrequited.
These liberals are NUTS.
" Oh remember the good old days when we had a slick willey peter for prez.," keeping the myth alive on behalf of whatever skeleton they want to roll out of the closet and give life to.Life was so entertaining, titillating and exciting for Nora and other wing nuts like her.
The truth is that Clinton disempowered the military to such an extent that the security of the nation was compromised. Those who voted for the most absurd President in the history of the USA, should simply realize that he had no redeeming qualities. He simply imposed his personal value system on the nation, and on the allies of the USA. We will be paying the price for it for generations to come.
Nora, your heart turned to stone? Your brain turned to stone first when you voted for the a--hole! Where the brain leadeth so soo follows the heart. Now we have to put up with your petrified sh_t! Will it ever end?
Where does the NYT find these nut cases. Hell, they can't even find Schumer credit file Gate.
And the point is......???? Other than the fact that some of these "journalists" have too much time on their hands....
I believe it's spelled schadenfreude. I thought it was funny.
The Times is in love with Schumer.
Nora would bump Bubba's dick in a heartbeat.
How about some standards, New York Slimes? This little love letter belongs in my local free liberal weekly fishwrap instead of a major newspaper. I could write a more meaningful article about severing the emotional ties to my toenail clippings. Want to pay me for that?
This took her 5+ years to say out loud?
What the HE!!...
Was her typewriter out for repairs????
Why what? I don't understand your question.
How sad Nora. Perhaps you could get Sherman and the Professor to crank up the Way Back Machine one more time and you could go back to that time that you never really left, anyway. Ah, Camelot and the 60's. No hypocrisy then. /snicker
How pathetic to be able to write such drivel and not be embarrassed.
No, it sounds more like the kind of article that a HS newspaper sponsor has to hand back to the offending, yet emotional, teenage girl and have her do a re-write.
And millions of people, half of them women would still be enslaved by a religious zealots and a madman dictator. She also admits that Al would not have done anything to retaliate for 9/11. So there you have it. How selfish are these libs. Think about it.
This is pure drivel. And like hell Gore would have been elected if slick willy hadn't been caught with his pants down - Nadar still would have run, and drawn off the really daffy dems; Gore still would have been wooden and unappealing; and the conservatives still would have voted for Pres. Bush.
