Hillary says Bill could be 'first mate'
The Times of India ^ | July 4, 2003 | RASHMEE Z AHMED

LONDON: Any man lucky enough to get married to America's future first female president could be designated "first mate" Hillary Clinton has said, in what is being seen as a likely and memorable job description for Bill Clinton, come 2008.

But the aspirational words, casually tossed off here and set to reverberate around the world, may be only the second of Hillary's most newsworthy achievements as she plugs her newly-published, bestselling memoirs in the UK .

She has already outsigned former rival Monica Lewinsky in the space of just a few hours in London , by autographing more books for more adoring fans to buy and keep.

Four years ago, Lewinsky set something of a London book-signing record with 'Monica's Story', her juicy revelations on the Oval Office trysts. Signing an average of eight books per minute at Harrods, the venerable, posh London store, Bill Clinton's former playmate was forced to retire in tears.

But the former White House intern has been put in the shade by the admirably-composed, networked and plugged-in former first lady, who has been vowing the UK and promising to sign 700 books in 90 minutes.

Hillary's memoirs, Living History , have already set a record as the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever, with Britain accounting for its second-biggest sales after the US .  

Her UK triumphs come even as she made an exaggerated plea for Bill and herself to "reclaim the zone of privacy".

On Thursday, fans in central London queued for up to five hours outside a leading bookstore, simply for the pleasure of seeing "a future US president".

Hillary's British successes come as the Clinton team works its way all this week into ecstatic column inches across the British press. Just days ago, the former president, partnered British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Nelson Mandela at a landmark London dinner marking the centenary of the Rhodes scholarships. As his wife recounts in her memoirs, Bill, a former Rhodes Scholar himself, left Oxford without a degree, only to return to the US looking like a Viking.

On Friday, Hillary took to the British airwaves to relive her "pain" and sorrow at Bill's semi-romance with Lewinsky, recalling how she underwent a period of not speaking to him.

All that ended, however, she recounted, when she helped Bill write an important speech, as always.

" Someone (whom I consider reliable) told me about 4 years ago that HRC, while on an overseas goodwill trip as First Lady, approached a young "good-looking Asian-American" male Embassy officer and invited him to her hotel room "

Maybe it was a reverse Madame Butterfly deal. A few weeks ago, Bo Dietl was on Imus and he said that he is good friends with a big Dem donor. This man let HRC use his guest house and she and another gal,spent many quality hours behind closed doors. Dietl,in his customary manner,said the donor had evidence it was a "lesbianic" liason and should HRC run for prez,the donor would make the details public.

Makes me wonder if the brits are that stupid or if they just have a pathological lust for ignominy.

So Hitlery has signed more copies of her book. What an outstanding accomplishment? I thought her job as a Senator would be more important; but I guess not.

Doesn't Hitlery mean "jail mate" instead of "first mate"?

"When will these people ever go away? Do we have to constantly be reminded of the sordid, trashy personal lives of the Clintons? Will it ever end?"

They will go away when they are finally made responsible for their actions. I think time in the clink would be very appropriate.

>>>>>I wish he had and wrote a book about it<<<<<

Perhaps it was a wise decision. If he accepted invitation, he might ended as a victim of armed robbery in Washington DC restaurant.

I do not want "her" as President. (foot stomp) I don't care if the rest of the world approves of her, or not. She's the anti-Christ, Evita Peron and a Hitler-wannabe rolled into one person.

I din't read all the posts so maybe this has been said.

I'm not sure Bubba could be VP. It would put him first in line for the Presidency should Hitlery have a nervous breakdown and become incapacitated. (I do think she has a tinge of insanity NOW).

My brother sailed many times as "First Mate". IF Hitlery used that phrase, she meant it in a derogatory manner. As Captain, whatever she ordered would have to be met with the standard "Yes, Sir".

Kinda fits in with her derogatory Viking statement (Like she looked good!!) Was the Viking story a freudian slip??
