Hillary and Monica.
…Could it be that Bill didn’t worry about getting caught because Hillary was aware and lived with it because a scandal could have tainted her political future? Even when I’m feeling cynical, though, I still feel for her.
For some reason, this particular encounter really stands out for me: “Jan. 7, 1996: On a Sunday afternoon, Lewinsky and the president spent most of the afternoon in the Oval Office. The first lady and the president had a small dinner with 20 people at ‘the Old Family Dining Room’ at the White House.” Was that particularly daring of Bill? Wouldn’t it be easy for Hillary to pop down to the Oval Office and see how Bill’s doing or ask him if he wanted to serve the red wine or the white at their dinner that night, on a quiet Sunday afternoon?
So, colleagues, is my sympathy for Hillary misplaced? Or is my cynicism?
