First Lady's Policy: 'Off With Heads' 
If her event planning doesn't improve, Clinton's worst days lie ahead. New Yorkers, especially those outside Manhattan, already look upon her as an impostor. After all, here's a woman who turned her back on a lifetime's worship of the Chicago Cubs and claimed fealty to the Yankees. Half the voters upstate disapprove of her, according to the latest polls. Manhattanites interviewed on TV seemed underwhelmed, as well.

Hillary-The-Victim 
First she blamed it on the malicious rumor-mongering of a "vast right-wing conspiracy." If the accusations of rank behavior on her husband's part "were proven true," Hillary Clinton said, "I think that would be a very serious offense. That is not going to be proven true." 

When that rationalization collapsed, she found a new one. "I think a lot of this is prejudice against our state," she told a reporter from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "They wouldn't be doing this if we were from some other state." 

Now the First Lady offers yet another explanation for Bill Clinton's scandalous sexual behavior: His mother and grandmother quarreled when he was a child. From this "abuse" grew a powerful urge to "please" women.

"My Name is Hillary And My Ego Needs You" 

She comes to us, not because she loves Zabar’s (still less, Tonawanda), but to fill the hole in her life. The deal of her life was not meant to include Kenneth Starr and Monica Lewinsky rolling her husband’s betrayals through the streets like garbage cans. The lies she had told for years had been told mostly to herself; there was, if not honor, at least control in that. The lies she had to tell from January 1998 on were damning. To get revenge on her husband and his doxy tart she needs the balm of electoral victory, and the sense of worth that office conveys. Finally she will stand alone, with the unworthy one in her shadow, not her in his.  To fix her psyche, we’re supposed to give her one of our Senate seats. We are a One-Step Program for the emotional and political addict. "My name is Hillary, and I believe that a Power lower than myself—the voters of New York—can restore me to self-esteem."  Richard Brookhiser                 See also: Ms. Rodham

Divorce, Clinton Style 

Call it "Divorce, Clinton Style." The imitation of divorce that allows the first couple to live in separate cities after their imitation of marriage. Now she's eyeing the U.S. Senate. Makes you want to sing, "Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places."  Debra Saunders          Also see - Ms. Rodham

Losing A First Lady 

We've been holding our collective breath for a very long time, 'til the red and white had practically drained from our national colors. But now finally, we can breathe a deep sigh of relief. Hillary has made up her mind: She wants to be New York's next senator.  Hillary Rodham Clinton may believe the role of first lady was beneath her, but she learned some important campaign skills on the job nonetheless. No first lady in history has raised more political campaign contributions using the White House for social functions than Hillary Clinton has. From selling the Lincoln Bedroom to offering cups of White House coffee for $100,000 apiece, Hillary certainly picked up some valuable fund-raising gimmicks while official hostess at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. That's one role the country certainly won't miss when it loses its first lady.  Linda Chavez                          See also: Ms. Rodham

Can it be that Bill Clinton is merely aprequel, the horse she rode in on?

Hillary's little problem 

Hillary Clinton's lack of any connection with New York state, except her desire for us to send her to Washington, has been trivialized recently as "the carpetbagger issue." In fact, her decision to land in New York in order to be elected to the Senate is far more than a mere issue. It represents a fundamental assault on our most basic idea of representative democracy.  Dick Morris

The fate of the republic doesn't hinge 
on one state's senator 

Because I am not a resident of New York, I don't care. If Hillary does run for the Senate, I don't care if she wins or loses. She couldn't be any worse than some of the senators already in office, and the fate of the republic does not hinge on one state's senator.  Mrs. Clinton is smart, though she has strange tastes in husbands (as do many women, for that matter, and vice versa), but she is inexperienced. First lady is a courtesy title, not an office. She has never been anything but a small-town lawyer and Bill Clinton's wife. For the latter, she may deserve the feminist equivalent of a Purple Heart or a doormat-of-the-year award, but her experience does not necessarily qualify one for the U.S. Senate.  Charlie Reese                              See also: Ms. Rodham

Hillary: Stand by or be your own man  

Knowing Bill Clinton the way we do, we can safely infer that what he was telling Hillary was not that she needed to search her heart to discover why she truly wanted to be senator of a state in which she has never resided. Rather, she should figure out how she can best sell her candidacy to New Yorkers then retrofit that into her campaign profile.  David Limbaugh
