Hillary Clinton's Senate years curiously missing from her memoirs
Washington Examiner ^ | 06/03/2014 | Byron York

Next week Hillary Clinton will release "Hard Choices," a memoir of her years as secretary of state. The book is Clinton's first since Living History, a memoir of her childhood, Ivy League education, marriage to Bill Clinton and time as first lady.

So: Clinton's first book covered the period from her birth in 1947 through 2001. Her second book covers 2009 through 2013. What about the eight years in between, from 2001 to 2009? That was the time Clinton served as a U.S. senator, and it is the only part of her life she has not seen fit to write a book about.

There's a reason for that. Clinton's Senate career is the awkward middle-distance period in her case for the presidency. When she speaks in public these days -- she'll be doing more after the book is released -- Clinton tends to talk about either her time at the State Department or her years in the White House. The Senate? Not so much.

Clinton was a lackluster, team-player senator. There was just one big moment in her career as a lawmaker -- her vote to authorize U.S. forces to go to war in Iraq -- and it's one many of her supporters would like to forget.

Clinton's Senate career started with accusations that she was a carpetbagger, which of course she was. As her husband's second term came to an end, she had a spike of popularity as the wronged wife, and rumors spread that she was considering a political run.

LOL she’s vulnerable to a primary attack from the left.
Just like 2008, likely even more so.

If a rogue Kenyan named Hussein can pull it off, think about an all-American Oklahoma gal named Lizzie....

What about her White House years with Huma Abedin as her personal intern in 1996?

Yep. No accomplishments in the Senate years either. Looks like her only accomplishment was marrying the Sink Emporer.

God forbid, but I think Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren has her sights on the position.

Hillary already has a great cabinet roster in the queue.

BJ, Huma, and Chels for starters.

Oh how she will wield the power of the office, queen (B) of America.
She will become every mans worst nightmare, like the worst possible Ex-wife
in history. Lie, Cheat, Kill, and Maim. Anything for that power.

HiTlery would need to finish off the Country by whatever means possible
because Obama was to weak, and the Repubs are to frail too fight back.

The power of Executive orders has passed a threshold by means of case law.
Obama keeps pushing the boundaries and with nobody stopping his executive order
of RULE anything goes. And the MSM will back it up by saying it
must be legal because the Repubs never stopped it, or some nonsense similar.

Hell in a handbasket.

I think she was drunk most of that time.

Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold and Joyless, was in the US Senate?

Who knew?

Is there independent corroboration of this information? Herself spent several years being almost totally invisible....

There is also a rumor that she served as Secretary of State. I do recall her making a Staples commercial with some Russian guy.
