Well, it is generally assumed to be true that Hillary and Vince Foster had a long relationship. This has been in the press a lot, but I heard it directly from two different people who did not know each other, who moved in the same circles in Little Rock. So it's fact!! (just joking) I have read several interviews with her friends, all of whom say she never discusses her marriage, particularly the infidelities, with anyone. So it is impossible to really know what she thinks about them. I don't take the rumors of recent lesbian one-night stand relationships seriously, but Gennifer Flowers discusses Hillary's lesbian interests in her book. While it is easy to make fun of Gennifer, I personally find her believable. He started that relationship eighteen months into their marriage, and told Gennifer he was unhappy sexually in the marriage. Of course, he told Monica Lewinsky it was over, essentially, and that he would be alone after he left the White House. This is what made Linda Tripp really mad, because she felt Clinton was leading Monica on. Women are much more easily seduced into having a relationship with a married man if they believe the relationship is ending, apparently, so this is a common tactic. The current Vanity Fair has an article about Hillary in college. Because she was a little overweight and not really a babe, according to classmates who were interviewed, she was everyone's best friend but not seen as a girlfriend type. But Bill Clinton found her very sexy. This could go a long way in a marriage!! I do think it is unfortunate that Clinton has divided the world of women into one which includes Hillary, Donna Shalala, and all the really highly educated feminists he obviously respects, and a netherworld of bimbos, nuts and sluts (using White House terminology). This seems very hypocritical to me, where there is a worthy class of women, and one that is not. Frankly, I think a huge problem for Clinton, ethically speaking, is that he has a daughter in college who was apparently told that all the stories are untrue. I know a trooper testified that Clinton hid his proclivities from Chelsea, and while this is totally normal and protective for a child, since she is now in college and is becoming independent and adult, it seems to me at least that there is something here that is going to be very hard to reconcile between the two of them. I know that if my husband divided women into two distinct classes, and respected some, used some, and then lied about, I would be very upset not only on my own account because of the hurt it would cause in the marriage, but on the horribly mixed messages he would send to our daughter, and the lack of integrity it all entailed. And my daughter would be terribly upset that her father had hurt me by cheating. These are very complex family dynamics being set up, and the Clintons seems to compartmentalize rather than seek therapy. Definitely, children don't grow up as well in a family with a big secret.
