Bill and Hillary Clinton political cartoon
From the Iowa Pres Watch Vault: The column on Hillary’s book by the Orlando Sentinel’s Kathleen Parker is almost a week old and worth a read – and serious consideration, especially by the misguided contingent of Hillary book buyers and worshipers. Park wrote last Wednesday: “For waiting in line and plunking down $28, Hillary readers get exactly what? Not much more than an expansion of untruths added to what they already knew to be false: In her book and in interviews, which all seem to derive from the same script, Hillary insists: She has no intention of running for president. Not true. She had no idea her husband was a sexual predator: Not true. She wanted ‘to wring Bill’s neck.’ Say what? A mom wants to wring her 10-year-old son’s neck when he tracks mud through her freshly mopped kitchen. When a grown woman finds her husband has become intimate with the help, she wants to invite Lorena Bobbitt to din-din and forget to put the cleaver in the dishwasher. There is about Hillary Clinton a frightening inevitability that ought to send shivers down the spines of those who still have them. Like her husband, she is able to hold a steady gaze and seduce her audience with false virtue even as she dissembles. Of course Hillary Clinton intends to run for president – and is running even as readers consume the book she hired three others to write. Of course she knew what kind of man she was married to and was an accomplice to his distortions and cover-ups. And of course Hillary Clinton – the un-Tammy Wynette who once told a nation she didn’t bake cookies and wasn’t a stand-by-your-man kind of woman – would bake a 12-tiered wedding cake and stand by the devil if that’s what it takes to fulfill her destiny as First Woman. That, in fact, is what’s true.” (6/17/2003)
