 NEW
YORK — Hillary Clinton appeared in a televised interview
with Barbara Walters, hyping her new book in which she says
how shocked she was when Bill told her he really did have sexual
relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.
It was a
performance that only someone as gullible as Barbara Walters
could believe.
Our investigative
reporter has obtained a copy of an early draft of the book's
manuscript, showing a transcript of Hillary's taped first draft,
and the changes made by her editor, James Carville.
Shown below
is an excerpt from the manuscript, with Carville's revisions
in italics, and Hillary's original words in parentheses marked
for deletion:
 "When
the allegations concerning Ms. Lewinsky first surfaced, my husband
was in the Oval Office attending to his job of running the government.
(When the news first broke, I ran into the Oval Office and found
Bill lying on the couch with his head in his hands, saying 'It's
over. It's over.') I accepted my husband's story that he
had befriended Ms. Lewinsky.
(I screamed
at Bill, 'Pull yourself together. We're gonna fight this. I'll
run the defense. Now get the Thomasons on the line.') I believed
him when he said he had talked to her a few times when she asked
for job-hunting help and that the relationship had been misconstrued.
(I asked Bill if there were any records of visits by Monica
to the Oval Office, and whether he had telephoned her using
the Oval Office phone.) For me, the Lewinsky imbroglio seemed
just like another vicious scandal manufactured by political
opponents. (I said, 'We'll say that this is just another
vicious scandal manufactured by the vast right wing conspiracy.')
Then,
on Saturday, August 14, my husband woke me up, paced by the
bed, and told me for the first time that the situation was much
more serious than he had previously acknowledged. He now realized
that he would have to testify that there had been an inappropriate
intimacy. (On the Saturday before he was due to testify,
Bill woke me up to ask me whether he really had to admit to
having sex. I told him to pull himself together and to remember
to use the linguistic tricks we'd rehearsed, like the meaning
of 'is' and relying on his own definition of 'sex.') I could
hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling
at him, 'What do you mean? What are you saying? Why did you
lie to me?' (Bill was crying his eyes out so I took a big
breath and bellowed, 'Focus on word meanings, think about what
you're saying, keep on lying.') I was furious and getting
more so by the second. (I was farting and getting more desperate
to use the bathroom by the second.)
 He
just stood there saying over and over again, 'I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I was trying to protect you and Chelsea.' (He just
stood there saying over and over again, 'I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I forgot my lines.') I was dumbfounded, heartbroken and outraged
that I'd believed him at all. (I realized he was really
dumb and that my heart belonged to Vince Foster and dozens of
women, and I was outraged because it was only 6 a.m. and I was
now wide awake.)
The most
difficult decisions I have made in my life were to stay married
to Bill and to run for the Senate from New York. (The most
difficult lies in my life were pretending to be straight and
pretending to like the Yankees.) I ultimately decided I still
loved my husband although, as a wife, I wanted to wring Bill's
neck. (My pollsters told me to stay married to Bill although,
as a lesbian, I wanted to cut off his penis.)
Hillary
concludes in her book that, in lying to her, Bill had betrayed
her, but in lying to the public, he had not betrayed the public.
"What he did was morally wrong and also perjury and therefore
a felony, but definitely not a betrayal. I'm the only one allowed
to work the victim angle here."
Special
thanks to Greg S. for this little gem...
