Hillary Clinton Book Acknowledges Lewinsky Affair (FOX News, June 04, 2003)

Hillary Rodham Clinton, acknowledging tirades and tears over her husband's affair with?Monica Lewinsky, says former President Clinton lied to her about the relationship until the weekend before he admitted as much to a grand jury.

The New York senator vividly describes her pain over the betrayal in?Living History, her new memoir covering her eight years in the White House. A copy of the book, which goes on sale Monday, was obtained by The Associated Press.

"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," she writes.

She says she accepted her husband's story at first -- that he had befriended the White House intern when she asked for job-hunting help, "had talked to her a few times" -- and that the relationship had been horribly misconstrued.

"For me, the Lewinsky imbroglio seemed like just another vicious scandal manufactured by political opponents."

It was, of course, identical to those other scandals: he was guilty but lying in those cases too. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 4, 2003 10:34 AM
