Bob, gee, what do you have against Dolly Kyle Browning, anyway? Sorry to take so long to answer you, incidentally, but I had some technical problems and am just catching up on my messages.
I really wasn't trying to bring her forth as a madonna figure or anything. I was simply making the point that she is not a bimbo, in the sense the Clinton camp means of being sort of white trashy, uneducated, and just wanting to make a buck off of Billy. She is a successful attorney, and from what I understand, she did not write her book to make money, although the proceeds would certainly help her pay for her own treatment for sex addiction. I was also pointing out that, according to Dolly, when the news media came poking around in 1992, she was told she would be destroyed if she did not deny the affair. This seems a little rough, and fits in with George Stephanopoulos' comments last Sunday that there were a lot of serious threats at smear campaigns coming out of the White House. I really do think they play a little rough there.
Dolly's therapist suggested she write about her experiences for therapeutic reasons, as I recall, but she did not want to write a non-fiction book, so she sort of went down the middle, writing a fictionalized account of her thirty-three-year relationship.
You don't believe sexual addiction is a real disorder? Professionals in the field would disagree with you, and I was a little puzzled by your reference to cocaine--I didn't really understand that. As far as being codependent, I am not big on the theory of codependence either, but I do recall a news discussion program where it was discussed that Hillary and Vernon Jordan and all the other people around the president who have protected him all these years from the consequences of his alleged sexual misbehavior are enabling him, in the sense that they make it possible to continue conducting himself in a way which is really hurtful and damaging to the people around him.
