"Dumbfounded?" "Tears and tirades?" "Gulping for air?" It's worse than I thought it would be. What is Hillary Clinton doing?

"I'm a private person," she said outside her Senate office last Wednesday, where dozens of cameras were gathered to record her reaction to the feeding frenzy that excerpts from her book, "Living History," have caused. Could have fooled me.

[mewzilla]

...there's no denying that Hillary Clinton is a smart woman

Well, to my mind there is. Sleazy and cunning, yes. But that's not the same as smart...

[StatesEnemy]

...women who agreed with her on the issues were angry at her for letting him off the hook so easily

She stayed married to him, didn't she???!

[fightinJAG]

touche!

[randog]

Estrich isn't winning any points with the Clintons and their dem backers. I'd sleep with one eye open if I were her.

[fightinJAG]

Yup, ole Suzie's not just burning her bridges, she's blowing them up.

Watch your back, Suz.

If we are to believe she is one of the smartest women in America, what to make of her stupidity when the data and facts were all in the public forum and her WH aides were in spin mode to protect the lying potus? She really didn't know until sinkWilly's on air confession? Could she be that dumb and still be the smartest woman in America? I take that as an insult to women of America.

Or, on the other hand, if she tells us she didn't knw, but she did know well in advance of any public confessions (she did lie with a straight face concerning Gennifer F, whom sinkEmperor had a twelve year affair with and whom the Arkansas State Police informed ms Hillary of while willy was governor), then she is being given a huge pass by the liberal media and smarmy vacuous people like Katie Couric and Baba Wawa. That is an ominous phenomenon!

Of the two above choices, I'm sold on the latter, because this clinton harridan is driven by her lust for power. She has two very different personas, as attested to by people who have worked for the clintoons in Arkansas and the WH, by Secret Service personnel and fellow democrat politicians. This woman is a dangerous reality check for America. Are we the people really so easily manipulated by the liberal liars of note? I'm afraid too many are ... they're called democrat constituencies. But it should be noted, the power brokers--like NOW leadership and NARAL leadership and democrat elected officials know the truth of these trolls from Arkansas. It remains to be seen if the democrat party has any shred of integrity left and will repudiate these deviant, power-crazed clintons. 2004 is looming ominously for the democrat party. They lose again in 2004 in House, Senate, and WH, and they can kiss the political money shills good bye.

[I still care]

Dick Morris says that Hillary is NOT smart. He says Bill is the smart one, she is just ruthless. How unfortunate for the nation that they found each other.

[CyberAnt]

"Smart"

Intellectually ... maybe ... common sense - absolutely NOT!!

[shiva]

Was Hillary really the last to know? Sometimes the wife is.

Why do people say that? The wife is always the FIRST to know. The truth of the matter is that she is the LAST TO ADMITT IT. If she for a moment admitts he is having an affair, then she has to do something about it and that's where she acts stupid and pretends not to know hoping it will blow over. Men do the same thing when the wife is having an affair. They are the last ones to admitt it NOT know it.

[expatpat]

Good one!

[winner3000]

We need to get her out of the Senate. I don't want her to pollute the Senate for eons. If running for President after promising she won't does it, so be it!

[Final Authority]

Estrich, in my opinion, is in on the set-up. The public and the few journalists left have to be pre-disposed with the idea that Hillary will never run, or, that she could never win, so Hillary will never have her record examined. For her, a term can be employed that was coined by the Reagan Admin and it is "plausible deniability". Hillary will come to the rescue of the American public, in the final hour, when it is time for her to run. She will never submit herself to the likes of O'reilly to be questioned. The only way she can stay out of the negative news reports is by making her own story as she goes along.

Does anyone with any brains really think that the DNC and Bill Clinton or Carville for that matter not have Estrich's fax number. I believe she is faxed marching orders each day. They are called "talking points".

[victim soul]

I think she should just go home, the first one she ever had to buy, and learn how to make cookies and invite Barbara Walters and Katie for tea!!!

It's never too late.....

Good point. It worked for her during her senate campaign, but will it work for a prez campaign? She'll have to face something besides a fawning NY press. True, why should she put her fat in the fire before she needs to, but she'll have to ramp up around the beginning of '06 if she expects to run in '08, which gives O'Reilly et.al. plenty of time to grill her.
