The Clintons' War on Women
Page 28
Michelle Cottle wrote in the August 13, 2007, edition of New York magazine: “Huma Abedin, Hillary’s beautiful, enigmatic ‘body person,’ spends nearly every waking minute with Hillary and so has the best sense of her daily rhythms and routines.”497
Throughout the 1990s the Clintons scrupulously avoided support for gay marriage, even while the LGBT community became more influential in Democratic Party circles. Hillary would evolve into a supporter of same-sex marriage by 2015. That did not, however, prevent Mrs. Clinton’s foundation with her husband from taking $10 million from a bizarre African church that advocates the torture and death of gays.
The London Daily Mail reported that the Cameroon Baptist Convention believes that being gay “contradicts God’s purpose” and likens homosexuality to the Devil.
The New York Post’s Michael Goodwin reported that, “The church only has about 100,000 members, so where did it get so much money? And why is it shipping millions to the Clintons when Cameroon is one of the poorest countries on Earth, with child labor a scourge and only one doctor for every 5,000 people? Life expectancy is reported as 55. Moreover, Cameroon is extremely corrupt, with human-rights organization claiming that criminal suspects, gays and political activists are routinely tortured.”498
If Hillary Clinton is gay or bisexual, or even if she considers herself a fighter for the rights of lesbians, then her hypocrisy is stunning.
CHAPTER 20
LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON
“Dr. George Wright was Bill Clinton’s father. Everyone in town knew that.”
—an anonymous resident of Hope, Arkansas 499
The debate over who is the biological father of Bill Clinton has gone on for a long time. In 1995, almost twenty years ago, David Maraniss was writing about this mystery in his book First in His Class: A Biography of Bill Clinton. Clinton’s mother, Virginia Kelley had married Billy Blythe on September 3, 1943, just before Blythe shipped out for World War II. Blythe got out of the military on December 7, 1945, and David Mariniss estimates that there was no way Blythe could have reunited with Virginia until December 10, 1945.
“This is inconsequential except for one thing: the timing of the conception of William Jefferson Blythe III,” wrote David Maraniss. “For years afterward, there were whispers in Hope about who little Billy’s father was, rumors spawned by Virginia’s flirtacious nature as a young nurse and by the inevitable temptation of people to count backwards nine months from the birth date to see who was where doing what.
“Nine months before August 19, 1946, Bill Blythe was still in Italy. Virginia heard the talk. Her answer was that Billy was born a month early. He had been induced weeks ahead of schedule because she had taken a fall and the doctor was concerned about her condition.”500
Clinton biographer Nigel Hamilton also investigated Bill Clinton’s real father. He said that relatives and friends of Kelley would shrug their shoulders or go silent when asked who Bill’s real father was. But when they spoke to Hamilton off the record, “Not a single one in confidence believed Bill Blythe had been the child’s father.”501
So one might wonder why conventional knowledge had deemed Blythe the father of Clinton. There is no credible Clinton biographer who still believes Blythe was Clinton’s dad.
“Flirtatious” does not do justice to Virginia Kelley’s true nature. Kelley, Bill’s mother, was an industrial-grade slut, often hopping in the beds of the married doctors with whom she worked, as well as many others.
“Like Bill, Virginia had a long string of adulterous affairs that till now have been undisclosed,” wrote psychologist John D. Gartner. “Her liaisons, including her five marriages (she had four husbands, but married Roger Clinton twice), were often impulsive, and usually showed poor judgement. The extent of her promiscuity was one of the most surprising findings in my research.”502 Gartner says extramarital sex was a “lifestyle” for Bill’s mother, even “an addiction.”
It has been determined by Gartner that Bill Clinton’s real “biological” father is the deceased Dr. George Wright of Hope, Arkansas.
Gartner found the nurse, Wilma Rowe Booker, who helped deliver Clinton. “I was the first person to spank Bill Clinton’s butt, ha ha … But I wasn’t the last,” Booker said.503 Gartner also found Richard Fenwick, a friend of Bill’s mother, who “held Bill Clinton in the hospital the day he was born.”
Bill was not a premature baby according to Booker: “he was a big, pink, healthy-looking full-term baby. There was absolutely no way he was premature.”504
Jim Blair, the former husband of Diane Blair, very close to the Clintons, said he did not believe Blythe was the father of Bill Clinton. Joe Purvis grew up with Bill Clinton and he asked his dad one time who Bill’s real father was, “He just smiled and said: ‘Gosh, we just don’t know.’ But I could tell he knew a lot he wasn’t saying.”505
Kelley had told a friend Virginia Heath that she had in fact had an affair with a doctor in Hope, Arkansas, at a time that would line up with Bill’s conception. There were not too many doctors in tiny Hope around the time Clinton was born. A longtime reporter on the Clintons told Gartner that he tried to interview a doctor in Hope but the doctor sounded “real nervous and jumpy” and canceled the interview at the last moment. David Mariness told Gartner that he had been trying to interview Dr. George Wright of Hope, Arkansas, when he wrote his biography of Clinton.506
The reporters and biographers of Clinton had been circling around the Dr. George Wright–Bill Clinton connection for decades, but it is our opinion that John Gartner is the one who has finally hit pay dirt with his conclusion that Dr. George Wright is the biological father of Bill Clinton.
Gartner went to the Hope public library and ran into a woman in her eighties as he was looking over Bill’s high school yearbooks. She told Gartner that she knew who Clinton’s real dad was. Gartner asked her if he might be kin to a Larry Wright who was a school age friend of Clinton and the son of Dr. George Wright:
“As a matter of fact, it does. Dr. George Wright was Bill Clinton’s father. Everyone in town knew that.”
“Everyone knew? I heard that there were lots of different rumors about a variety of suspected fathers.”
“Oh, no. There were not lots of different rumors. There was one rumor, and it was no rumor. Everyone in Hope knew it was Dr. Wright.”
“How did you know it was Dr. Wright?”
“I had personal knowledge.”
“Personal knowledge?” I asked, trying to imagine what they could possibly be.
“One of Dr. Wright’s best friends told me that Wright said to him: ‘I’m Billy Blythe’s father.’”507
Gartner found others who confirmed this old lady’s story, an “open secret” in the little town of Hope, Arkansas.
Gartner interviewed George Wright, Jr., the half-brother of Bill Clinton. Wright said that he grew up with Clinton and that Kelley helped his father Dr. George Wright set up his medical practice in Hope in May of 1946. Kelley was pregnant with Bill at the time. Dr. George Wright had come to Hope, Arkansas, before he moved there to check out the town. It is very likely that is when he hopped in bed with the “hot to trot” Kelley.
When Bill was a young kid, Kelley and Roger Clinton were often guests of the Wright family and even when they moved away to Hot Springs, Dr. Wright would rent a summer lake house and Bill would visit.
“Every summer, young Bill would spend a large part of the Wright’s vacation living with them on the lake,” wrote Gartner. If Bill Clinton was the biological child, Dr. Wright had cleverly found a way to have annual visitation with his son without anyone being the wiser.”508 George Wright, Jr., was well aware of the rumors regarding Bill’s true father.
Gartner dug up another bombshell, saying that Bill’s half-brother Roger was not the son of Roger Clinton, Sr. John Gartner interviewed Virginia Heath, who was a friend of Kelley: “Uncle Roger told me that little Roger wasn’t his. Roger senior said he knew because he couldn’t have children. And he told me who the da
ddy was, I just never have told anyone his name. He’s a doctor here in town.” Is it even surprising, at this point, that yet another layer of secrecy and sketchiness is added to the Clintons’ personal lives?
CHAPTER 21
THE QUOTABLE CLINTONS
“Get fucked! Get the fuck out of my way! Get out of my face!”
—First Lady Hillary Clinton
One should never be surprised what comes out of the mouths of the Clintons, especially Hillary. Pro-life activist Lurleen Stackhouse went to a pre-inauguration prayer service at the AME Church in Washington, DC, on January 21, 1993, a few hours before Bill was to be sworn in as president. After the service concluded, Lurleen gave her anti-abortion message to the Clintons. Stackhouse relayed the story to Washington Week:
When the service concluded we were asked to stay seated until the President and Mrs. Clinton departed for the White House. However, as they walked down the aisle I stood and reached out for Mr. Clinton. “Mr. Clinton, America must stop killing babies.” He looked at me with a blank stare on his face. I repeated this statement to him.
Hillary (not hearing my comment) then came to give me a hug and I said (in a voice only audible to her), “Hillary, it is against God’s law to kill babies.” She stepped back, shaking and trembling, and then grabbed my arm. Her countenance transformed from a pleasant demeanor to the appearance of being possessed. Her eyes were enraged as [Hillary] replied, “It is God’s law to kill babies.”
I drew back in shock at this blatant and revealing statement. I fully expected her to say, “It is God’s law for women to have a choice,” or other pro-death rhetoric. But no, she was bold and blatant. I would not have believed it if I had not heard it with my own ears. I walked out with General Colin Powell. As the Clintons got into their limousine I approached the car. Through the glass I continued to plead with Mr. Clinton to stop killing babies. Again, he had a troubled stare.509
Hillary had started out that morning by yelling at Bill what a “motherfucker” he was because he would not let her have Vice President Al Gore’s office in the White House. Gary Aldrich, in his Unlimited Access, has documented Hillary’s profane fury as she trailed Bill Clinton through the White House on day one, cussing him out every step of the way, wanting the vice president’s office as her own.
Hillary is known for her cruel and vicious tongue as well as her often nasty demeanor. According to author Ron Kessler, Secret Service agents considered it “punishment” to be assigned to her detail because she is so rude and disrespectful towards them.
Here is a sampler of some other Hillary quotes over the years:
1) “Where is the goddamn fucking flag? I want the goddamn fucking flag up every fucking morning at fucking sunrise.”
—Hillary to Arkansas state troopers at the guardhouse as she was pulling out of the governor’s mansion on Labor Day, 1991 (The First Partner, p. 192).
2) “Fuck off! It’s enough that I have to see you shit-kickers every day. I’m not going to talk to you, too. Just do your goddamn job and keep your mouth shut.”
—Hillary to her Arkansas state trooper bodyguards, after one of them told her “good morning” (American Evita, p. 90).
3) “[You] fucking idiot.”
—Hillary to a state trooper who was driving her to an event (Crossfire, p. 84). Larry Gleghorn, a former state trooper, said: “She was a bitch day in and day out” (The First Partner, p. 119).
4) “That sorry son of a bitch.” According to Larry Patterson, this was a common phrase that Hillary used to describe Bill back when he was governor of Arkansas.
5) Former FBI agent stationed to the White House Gary Aldrich said, “[Hillary] had a clear dislike for the agents (US Secret Service), bordering on hatred…. Two Secret Service agents heard Hillary’s daughter Chelsea refer to them as ‘personal, trained pigs.’ … The agent on the detail tried to scold Chelsea for such disrespect. He told her … he believed that her father, the president, would be shocked if he heard what she had just said to her friends. Chelsea’s response? ‘I don’t think so. That’s what my parents call you’” (Unlimited Access, p. 90).
6) “If you want to remain on this detail, get your fucking ass over here and grab those bags.”
—Hillary to a Secret Service agent who is trained to keep his hands free at all times to protect his boss. According to countless witnesses, this kind of demanding and demeaning behavior and attitude is very common for Hillary over the years. CNBC host Chris Matthews commented on Hardball on July 17, 2001, as quoted on Newsmax in August 2001, that he had seen the Secret Service carry bags for Senator Hillary on the train. “Who in the Senate gets a sherpa to carry their bags for them? Who pays the airfare for this guy? Who pays for his life-style? Who pays his salary to walk around carrying her bags? This looks pretty regal.”
7) “Get fucked! Get the fuck out of my way! Get out of my face!”
—A typical comment from Hillary to Secret Service agents throughout the 1990s (Hillary’s Scheme, p. 89).
8) “Stay the fuck back, stay the fuck away from me! Don’t come within ten yards of me, or else! … Just fucking do as I say, okay?”
—Hillary to her Secret Service detail (Unlimited Access, p. 139). Author Ron Kessler wrote, “Secret Service agents assigned at various points to guard Hillary during her campaign for the Senate were dismayed at how two-faced and unbalanced she was” (A Matter of Character, p. 2).
9) “What the fuck is going on?”
—Hillary to a Secret Service agent after reading an article, written by a UC Berkeley student, which was critical of Chelsea Clinton, a new high-profile Stanford undergrad. The student was subsequently interrogated by the Secret Service (SFGate.com, November 26, 1997).
10) “Bimbos,” “sluts,” “trailer trash,” “rednecks,” and “shit-kickers.”
—Terms Hillary commonly used to describe Arkansans (American Evita, p. 139).
11) “Goddamn, L. D., did you see that family right out of Deliverance? Get me the hell out of here.”
—L. D. Brown, Bill’s favorite state trooper, while at a county fair in Arkansas in the early 1980s. They had just spoken to “salt of the earth” country Arkansans who wore bib overalls and cotton dresses. Brown also said that Hillary would reduce grown men state troopers such as Trooper Mark Allen to tears with her vicious attacks (Crossfire, p. 85).
12) “This is the kind of shit I have to put up with.”
—Hillary to a friend after a well-meaning supporter gave her earrings shaped like Arkansas Razorbacks (Blood Sport, p. 105).
13) “Motherfucker,” “cocksucker.”
—Two of Hillary’s favorite names for Bill (Boy Clinton, p. 278).
14) “You goddamn stupid fucking fool.”
—Hillary to Bill while in the presence of Chelsea, then a toddler (Newsmax, July 15, 2000).
15) “I want you to do damage control over Bill’s philandering…. Bill’s going to be president of the United States…. I want you to get rid of these bitches he’s seeing…. I want you to give me the names and addresses and phone numbers, and we can get them under control.”
—Hillary instructing Ivan Duda in 1982, a full sixteen years before the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke (The Truth About Hillary, pp. 98–99).
16) “Goddamn it, Bill, you promised me that office.”
—Hillary literally was the de facto co-president with Bill Clinton and she demanded to have Vice President Al Gore’s office, which was in proximity to the Oval Office. Gore told Clinton that he would go public with it and embarrass the new administration if Hillary got that office space. Hillary, despite her screaming and profanity-laced fits throughout Inauguration Day, did not win this battle (Bill & Hillary, p. 258).
17) “You fucking asshole.”
—Hillary, while demanding Al Gore’s office on Inauguration Day (Hillary’s Choice, p. 223)
18) “You stupid motherfucker.”
—Hillary to Bill in front of the media on Inauguration Day (The Seduction of
Hillary Rodham, p. 321).
19) “Gentlemen, I have looked at your proposal, and it’s pure bullshit! Now you’ve had your meeting! Get out!”
—Hillary to insurance executives who had just given their input on the Clintons’ health-care bill. (Unlimited Access, p. 88).
20) “What the fuck are you doing up there? You get back here right away.”
—Hillary on the phone excoriating President Clinton because he had suggested a health-care proposal that differed from hers (The Survivor, p. 118).
21) “Come back here, you asshole! Where the fuck do you think you’re going?”
—Hillary, enraged (Unlimited Access, p. 192).
22) “How could you be so damn stupid? How could you do that?”
—Hillary chewing out the president in front of guests (US News & World Report, February 5, 1996).
23) After Hillary had heard some bad news about Whitewater, Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson describes the scene: “As soon as the elevator closed, she exploded at the president with a spew of four-letter words. Every vulgar word you’ve ever heard poured from her mouth: ‘Goddamnit,’ ‘you bastard,’ ‘it’s your fucking fault.’” Patterson said Bill just hung his head, took the abuse while the Secret Service agents and a doctor looked on mortified. (Dereliction of Duty, p. 68).
24) “You stupid fucking moron. How could you risk your presidency for this?”
—Hillary to Bill during the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998 (Newsmax.com, December 9, 2001).
