ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW Hillary & Monica . . . SHOWDOWN! IT'S ALL-OUT WAR BETWEEN THE FIRST LADY AND 'THE TRAMP' In the ultimate Sexgate showdown, Hillary Clinton is angrily calling Monica Lewinsky a "little tramp" -- while Monica says Hillary is a "cold bitch" who drove the President into another woman's arms. The First Lady is cracking under the strain of putting on a public show of support for her embattled husband -- at the same time she's furious at both Bill AND Monica. "That little bitch stalked my husband, complained about it and found herself being used by a right-wing conspiracy that now truly threatens his Presidency," Hillary told a friend. "I'd like to strangle her!" "I told him, 'You're a damn fool. You let your sexual libido destroy all of our good work forever. You're going to go down in history as the President who couldn't keep his pants zipped!" The friend disclosed: "If Hillary had her way, she'd want Monica to know, 'You're nothing but a little slut and you'll be destroyed before you can destroy this Presidency.' "Hillary has now put her stamp of approval on reported White House plans to trash Monica. "They've had private investigators attempting to dig up mounds of dirt on her and they plan to leak it to hurt her credibility. "It's becoming an all-out war between the Presidential mistress and the First Lady." An insider confirmed: "Hillary calls Monica 'that little tramp' -- and a lot worse! "She thought Bill's exploits with women had lost their power to shock her, but the fact Monica's so young has shaken her to the core. "Hillary told friends, 'What the hell can Bill possibly have seen in her?' " FAST FACTS: By Aug. 17, 1998, 2,658 days had passed since the fateful moment in which Paula Jones and the President were together in a hotel in Little Rock, Ark. Monica, for her part, blames the First Lady for driving Bill to seek sex with other women, a Washington source revealed. "Monica's message to Hillary is: 'Bill wouldn't have sought refuge in my arms if you weren't such a cold bitch.' "Monica confided to a friend, 'Icy Hillary's the one responsible for my relationship with Bill. " 'I didn't flaunt my body in his face. I wasn't acting provocatively to attract his attention. It was mutual. " 'The President sought me out. He confessed to me that his marriage to Hillary was boring. " 'He told me she hasn't forgiven him in her heart for all his reported transgressions. " 'He's not the sexual beast the press has made him out to be. He's just a healthy male who needs a woman. If he's not getting it at home, what should he do?' " Lucianne Goldberg, Linda Tripp's confidante who's heard hours of the tapes Tripp made of her conversations with Monica, told The ENQUIRER: "It's clear from the tapes that Monica doesn't like Hillary one little bit. "Since she was having an affair with Hillary's husband, it's not hard to understand why!" That affair has jilted wife Hillary seething with anger at Bill not for his unfaithfulness, but for his carelessness in getting caught, said a source close to the White House. "Hillary got used to Bill's well-publicized promiscuity years ago. "Now she's furious because Bill was stupid in getting himself into this Monica Lewinsky nightmare. The business about the stain on the dress has her really embarrassed." Another insider told The ENQUIRER: "One thing Hillary absolutely cannot stand is to be laughed at, to be ridiculed. "She told friends, 'This is the worst thing Bill has ever done. He's broken the Eleventh Commandment -- Thou Shalt Not Get Caught.' "Hillary's been bending under the strain of what she's going through -- and now she's starting to crack!" Hillary is a "very tragic figure, added author Peter Flaherty, who spent more than two years talking to her friends for his 1996 book, "The First Lady: A Comprehensive View of Hillary Rodham Clinton." "She's been deeply wounded by Bill's affair with a girl young enough to be their daughter. "And it was like a dagger through her heart when she learned Bill gave Monica Walt Whitman's book 'Leaves of Grass,' because that was the very book he gave Hillary on their second date. "I was told a long time ago that divorce was a very strong possibility once the Clintons leave the White House -- and the Lewinsky affair has now made it probable."
