The Wacky World of Hillary.

The next page we turn to in Vanity Fair is an excerpt for "The Truth About Hillary..." by Edward Klein. Drudge has the most tabloid like excerpt from the book saying that Bill raped Hillary and that is how Chelsea was conceived.

Being that Klein is the former foreign editor of Newsweek former editor in chief of the New York Times Magazine, it would be hard to paint him as a part of the rightwing conspiracy, as Drudge points out. But conspirator or not, this crosses the line of decency and pretty much makes it look like a Kitty Kelly book to me. Even if it were true, bringing someone's child into it is just plain wrong.

The excerpt in VF focuses on Patrick and Liz Moynihan's dislike for Hillary and the her obession with power. There are two telling moments in this article. One is when Hillary first gathered her supporters in Manhattan regarding her Senate race. One woman asked, "How are you going to handle Monica Lewinsky?" Hillary replied, "I decided that, because of Kosovo, for the good of the country I needed to stand by the president of the United States, the commander in chief, during perilous times."

Not that she loved him, not that what happens between a man and his wife is private, she didn't even refer to him as a man, just "president of the United States." I find that sad. I don't think anyone disputes that this marriage is bizarre.

The other telling moment is when Hillary visited the Moynihan's home when deciding to run for the Senate and wanted to discuss how to get there. Hillary mentions that she is interested in what the couple have to say on health care because she had a bill that would protect the teaching hospitals and Liz Moynihan interrupts Hillary saying, "Hillary! That's Pat's bill." Hillary replies, "Oh, did he have one, too!"

The article continues:
"Hillary wasn't an elected official, and yet, according to the insider, she was talking as though she had introduced her own bill. And she was looking right at Liz Moynihan and comparing herself to Pat Moynihan, who had one of the most distinguished records in the history of the U.S. Senate." Pat Moynihan gets so disgusted at this point he excuses himself and leaves the room and doesn't return.

I think this part illusrates the massive ego that Hillary possesses.

I wondered why Vanity Fair would put such a hit piece on Hillary in their magazine, but now, after reading the Drudge report, I have to ask myself that if they were going to print something, why not use the excerpt with the juicest gossip???? That is their style after all.

I have to wonder if they knew that the rape story would be too much and the Moynihan story would resonate with New Yorkers who loved him so much. In other words, they wanted to hurt Hillary as bad as possible without using a seemingly outlandish story.

Why?

I can only imagine that they don't feel Hillary can win the general election and they want to put a stop to her before the nomination process.

Nothing else makes sense.
