An incredible article about Bill and Hilary Clinton in today's Daily Mail. What a lovely pair they make, read it and ask yourself "is that the best the US Democratic Party can vote for?"
Several quotes from the article stick out but the best I save for the end of this piece...
"Said Ann McCoy, a friend from Arkansas: "You get a hug from Bill and a solution from Hillary."
Her powers of concentration and rigorous self-discipline are legendary. "You can see her sometimes almost censoring the first and second and third thing that comes into her head," said her longtime friend Diane Blair.
Even Hillary has acknowledged having an "obsessive personality." ...
Nor does Hillary ever feel compelled to explain her certainties - or much else about her thoughts and emotions. This defiantly closed nature has fuelled a perception that she was withholding information during numerous official investigations into the Clintons' affairs.
In fact, playing the role of "hidden hand" is one she enjoys.
"She was extremely Machiavellian, a master of doing things that could not be traced back to her," recalled one close colleague. "She would say: 'Do this, but don't leave any fingerprints.'"
Hillary's own mother once observed: "She just does everything she has to do to get along and get ahead." "
***********************************************************************************
The line that caught my eye, because I have never, ever, heard it mentioned before was this (my emphasis):
"On January 21, 1993, Bill's first full day in office, she and Bill shook some 1,800 hands in three hours. "We just screwed all these people," she whispered to her husband - a comment heard on network television."
Is this true? Can anyone find the video of it?

I've been looking for this video for AGES. Did you ever find this video?
The closest thing I've ever found was an acknowledgement of its archival on NBC. Even with that, getting the clip is a whole other story.
Look here: http://www.nbcuniversalarchives.com/nbcuni/clip/5112556570_s01.do
