Did Bill Clinton inflict some extra lashes on himself in Hillary Rodham Clinton's best-selling memoir? The former President may have taken a more active role than anyone suspected in the writing of "Living History," insiders tell us.
Sen. Clinton invited her husband's comments on her manuscript. Most of his suggestions "had to do with policy and the legacy of his administration," says one person familiar with his blue-penciling.
But it's said that he went so far as to suggest Hillary turn up the sturm und drang in the much-discussed passage where she confronts him about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
While Hillary wrote that she wanted to "wring his neck," an insider says Bill recommended the line: "I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him ... "
A source who saw an early draft of the manuscript recalls that the "gulping" phrase was not in the original copy: "It appeared from nowhere" after the book spent a night at the Clintons'.
Spokesmen for both Clintons said in a joint statement it was "absolutely untrue" that Bill had anything to do with that chapter.
"It didn't happen," says one of Bill's aides. "He did read the book beforehand and helped with the fact-checking. But he never suggested that language."
A person close to Hill adds: "Those are her memories, thoughts and words."
Then again, no one can feel someone's pain quite like Bill.

Hillary gulped what from Bill? I thought Bill started messing with Monica because Hill wouldn't do that.

I'm sure that they got a look at each other's books before they went to press. Had to make sure that they told the same lies.

Anybody that believes that Hillary didn't know about Monica long before it hit the media isn't thinking clearly. The guy has been fooling around since day 1 and Hillary has condoned it in her lust for POWER.
She knows that without him, she would NEVER have gotten to her present position and she loathes him.

If you learned anything about the Clintonese dialect in the last eleven years then parse this:
Spokesmen for both Clintons said in a joint statement it was "absolutely untrue" that Bill had anything to do with that chapter.
Translation: He did it.

Parsing this, I think the translation is that the entire chapter didn't happen, thus bill had nothing to do with this chapter.

I don't think the "anger" scene happened either. At least not the way Hillary tells it. I'd say that the "spinners" had a meeting when it hit the Press and Hillary became in charge. Remember her dramatic TV piece on the right wing conspiracy.
Ah, but for the dress and not bumping off Monica early, he would have gotten away with it. The Finger pointing, "I DID NOT"....was a Kodak moment we won't forget!! These people LIE and LIE and LIE. He lied to the American people, he lied in Court....They are what they are!!!! People who prey on the ignorant and hold power over others via "personal information" and the purse of the DNC.

What I found most interesting about this article is the name that someone at the

"Those are her memories, thoughts and words." Which disproves the entire book, because as we found out under oath, Hillary "can't remember, doesn't recall" anything!! Her mind is "jello, jello, jello". Remember?
Hillary's book is fiction...so is the cover. Lookee here,

He did read the book beforehand and helped with the fact-checking. Well, checking the facts should have taken, what, 30 secs? Now checking the LIES ... that could take weeks!

Well stated. The lie is the criminals first victory in the battle for your life. The fact that these co-conspirators are relevant and enabled by millions, is a measure of the work yet to be done..."in order to form a more perfect union". My life is too short to allow liars in to devalue my time. The economic and psychological cost that these serial liars have inflicted upon this country has been huge, and continues to grow. Liars, like all criminals, are anti-freedom.

<< Anybody that believes that Hillary didn't know about Monica long before it hit the media isn't thinking clearly. >>
Anyone who doesn't know it was Hitlery who exposed the whole Lewinsky red herring, doesn't yet have a grasp of the depth of the KKKli'toons evil.
Hollywood distracts with wagging dogs while the Lewinsky ploy kept Bubba from impeachment and both KKli'toons -- and 90% of their henchmen -- from 150-year+ feral prison terms.
