Hillary Thought Killing Bill Might Hurt Her Senate Bid
(2003-06-04) -- Former First Lady Hillary Clinton's new book claims she wanted to "wring Bill's neck" when she learned her husband had lied to her about "inappropriate intimacy" with a White House intern. However, she decided not to murder the President of the United States, because it might distract from her long-term plans to run for the Senate.
"I didn't think it would hurt my polling numbers," she writes. "But I didn't want to spend time in court or jail when I could be out fundraising."
Sen. Clinton, D-NYArk, said she cried and yelled for roughly seven minutes and 37 seconds after her husband's revelation, "but then we got to talking about politics and my ambitions, and that got me all cheered up. We drafted the talking points about our relationship and moved on."
In the book, Sen. Clinton says the President woke her one morning just before his grand jury testimony and told her "the situation was much more serious than he had previously acknowledged".
"Looking back," she wrote, "That was the moment that sealed our special relationship, because he almost admitted that he lied to me. None of the other women ever heard him nearly confessing that. He was virtually vulnerable with me. I know now that I'm his most cherished colleague."
The new best-selling author said it's time for the country to move on and forget about her husband's sins, "after everyone buys the book, of course."
