- That Hillary Show Part III
That Hillary Show Part III
I refuse to insult my readers intelligence by wading into the silly debate over whether Hillary is telling the truth in her book. I treasure in this context the wonderful line I once heard from a New Yorker when he was asked to believe something manifestly unbelievable: Do I look like Im from out of town?
Heres the question I find more interesting: Is Hillary telling the right lie?
Lay aside morality for a moment, and consider the world from Hillarys point of view. You are an utterly opportunistic, wholly amoral person. You are married to Bill Clinton and are running for president in 2008. Now then are your evil purposes better served by pretending to be a surprised, wronged wife who has at last forgiven Bill and hope[s] to grow old with him? Or do you ditch the bum and run as an independent person in your own right? Hillarys betting on the first strategy, but I fear she's making a serious error. The whole working on our marriage strategy invites the voters to contemplate the prospect of a goatish 60-something Bill Clinton as an under-employed First Gentleman wandering around the White House orientation program for new interns
. No its too horrible. Lose Bill now, let People magazine do its Hillary: Single And Fabulous! cover story, marry some respectable elderly widower with plenty of ultra-respectable money, and then run for president.
And the good news for the Washington legal community would be that with a rich new mate and the money from her book, next time she wont be tempted to try to skip out on her lawyers bills!
