8. People need to remember those inconvenient details and tell the younger generation

that she was NOT a "victim" of an "imbalance of power" or anything remotely closely to it. It was Bill Clinton who had her sent to the Pentagon because he KNEW that what he did was a bad idea.

We can all be grateful she didn't try to pass off her pregnancy, which ended in abortion, as being from Bill.

The FIRST thing I did when I read Bill's autobiography was look up the Lewinsky thing and Hillary's reaction after Bill told her the truth about it. She kicked him out of the White House bedroom for a time, with his only real friend being his late, beloved dog Buddy. She would have been justified divorcing him, but they patched things up and are still going strong all these years later.
