FROM CARL BERNSTEIN TO THE BROADDRICK RAPE: Connecting the Dots
HILLARY CALLS NEW BOOKS 'REHASH FOR CASH.' (NOT SO FAST, MISSUS CLINTON.)

oward Wolfson doth
protest too little.
Yawn in tow--or is it a smirk?--the clinton flack is making the rounds trying to convince us that the two new hillary books about to hit the stores, "A Woman in Charge," by Carl Bernstein of 'Woodward and'/Watergate fame, and "Her Way," by former New York Times reporter Jeff Gerth and current one Don Van Natta Jr., are nothing new.
But Wolfson's claim--and his yawn--are belied by his tactic: That is, if these books are simply warmed over calumny, why the redundancy of clinton schemes trying to kill them, (and kill them preemptively, no less)?
Listen to clinton operatives Wolfson,
Philippe Reines et al. Their practiced ennui and
oh-so-carefully-crafted sound bites--"rehash for cash" and
"Is it possible to be quoted yawning?'--reveal real concern
in the clinton camp about the books.
'OLD NEWS'
The clinton machine wants us to think the books are about the clinton marriage and so-called adultery and, as such, are 'old news.'
What is 'old news' is that tired
clinton mantra. 'Old news' is a non sequitur that insults us
all, our dismissal of clinton crimes, betrayals, abuses and
failures without exercising due diligence being its logical
endpoint. In
clinton-machine scandal-mitigation parlance, the implied
premise of 'old news' is that there is a statute of
limitations on 'venal' and 'inept.' (ASIDE: 9/11
shot that one down,
didn't it?)
'ADULTERY'
Falsely portraying the clinton marital deal as 'adultery' enabled missus clinton for decades to play the victim, which in turn enabled the clintons to win elections and avoid the slammer (though not always in that order). (HEAR SUSAN ESTRICH: hillary plays 'the victim' for votes)
But
the marital 'arrangement' detailed by these two books
vitiates the 'adultery' charge.
Worse, it supports the Juanita Broaddrick allegations of rape by bill clinton and threat by hillary clinton two weeks after the rape.
As Carl Bernstein himself put it last week (Today): "There's not a sex act mentioned in the book. What is important is Hillary savaging the women."
Don't fall for the clintons' own rehash for cash and power. The clinton story is no soap opera. It is a horror story about abuse of women, abuse of power and willful utter failure to confront terrorism.
The clinton story is about the clintons' fundamental unfitness. (Why should we hire as our president someone we wouldn't hire to be our kids' babysitter?)
As missus clinton cynically targets us, abuses us, yet one more time, we women, especially, must open our eyes.

We will not survive another clinton. (We may yet not survive the first.)

HILLARY
CLINTON THREATENED JUANITA BROADDRICK 2 WEEKS AFTER BILL
CLINTON RAPED HER
JUANITA
BROADDRICK: They came in, but just before they did, the
driver who'd gone to the airport to pick them up came over
to me and said that--he was a local pharmacist in this area
and I think he's relocated down to Fayetteville--but he told
me--he said, "The whole topic of conversation from the
airport was you and are you going to be there." He came over
to me and said that and I really didn't know what to think
about that.
The minute they came in the door--I'm standing over in the living room area and I see them come through the kitchen area and I see her going up to someone and they're pointing at me and I see him go the opposite direction. I assumed when they came in if I was still there that he might come up and say something.
But she made her way just as quick as she could to me. I almost got nauseous when she came over to me.
She came over to me, took ahold of my hand and said, "I've heard so much about you and I've been dying to meet you," or "been wanting to meet you." I can't--I'm just paraphrasing--and she said, "I just want you to know how much that Bill and I appreciate what you do for him."
And I said, "Thank you" and started to turn and walk away.
This woman, this little, soft-spoken--pardon me for the phrase--dowdy woman that would seem unassertive, took ahold of my hand and squeezed it and said, "Do you understand? Everything that you do."
I could have passed out at that moment and I got my hand from hers and I left. She was just holding onto my hand. Because I had started to turn away from her and she held onto my hand and she said, "Do you understand? EVERYTHING that you do," cold chills went up my spine.
That's
the first time I became afraid of that woman.
SEAN HANNITY: Do you interpret that to mean that she
knew about the incident?
JUANITA BROADDRICK: I certainly do. and thank you for
keeping quiet.

These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real. Defeating
the enemy isn't sufficient. For America to
prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde,
misogynous mindset. To successfully prosecute
the War on Terror, it is essential that the
collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives
America as politically and militarily strong.
Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents

While America appears not to be ready for a
female president under any circumstances, the
post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a
female presidential candidate. Add to these the
problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews
make the mistake of focusing on the problems of
the generic female presidential candidate
running during ordinary times.
