Hillary Clinton is cast as a heroine of her husband's Life. He portrays his wife as a stalwart helpmate who gave him good advice and stood up for him even when he didn't deserve it. Recalling her appearance on national television the day after the story of his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky broke, Clinton writes: "Seeing Hillary defend me made me even more ashamed about what I had done." The book is a public letter of apology to his wife, of whom Clinton says: "I had always loved her very much, but not always very well."
Despite their well-publicized marital difficulties, Clinton describes himself as devoted to his wife ever since "our sleepless wedding night." He says he gave her a diamond ring on their 20th anniversary to remind her that "through all the ups and downs, we remained very much engaged."

I love the mention of the "sleepless wedding night." Any idea what they could've been up to? :evilgrin:

1. 'made me even more ashamed of what I had done'

then maybe he should have told her the truth instead of dragging out the lie for a few more months....

pretty self serving sounding...

3. Easy for you to say

Kinda tough to admit to your spouse that you've been getting some on the side. Not the kind of thing you just come out and admit.

Clinton was wrong to cheat on his wife. And he lied to cover his ass in his personal life. I probably would have done the same thing, though I wouldn't have cheated in the first place.

5. just how it is...

cheat on wife ...one wrong
'lie to her about it'...two wrongs
look for sympathy for being unable to face own actions...pathetic


what's self serving is pretending she believed him the whole time..

4. How exactly does this episode make him look good?

Isn't that what self-serving means?

6. it doesn't make him look good..

but it's looking for sympathy (IMO)

2. "Creep" reference

How sad that the Repuke's spokesman would call one of our greatest Presidents a "creep". Where is the respect for the office of the President? Would he therefore agree that Newt Gingrich, Bob Livingston, Jerry Falwell, IL Sen. Candidate Ryan are all creeps? Why do I doubt that he would?
