希拉里祕密談話公開 曾斥萊溫斯基“自戀蠢瘋子”

She really did stand by her man.

As a sex scandal threatened Bill Clinton’s presidency, Hillary Clinton defended him despite his tryst with Monica Lewinsky — blaming the young intern, the President’s enemies and herself, according to the writings of a late friend.

The friend, Diane Blair, described Hillary Clinton’s reaction to the way her husband handled the Lewinsky affair: “It was a lapse, but she says to his credit he tried to manage someone who was clearly a ‘narcissistic loony toon,’ but it was beyond control,” she wrote in notes reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website.

After Bill owned up to the affair, Hillary faulted herself for not being attuned to the stress he was under because of his adversaries.

“She thinks she was not smart enough, not sensitive enough, not free enough of her own concerns and struggles to realize the price he was paying.” Blair wrote.

Blair, whom Hillary Clinton once described as her “closest friend,” died at 61 in 2000. Her husband donated her personal papers to the University of Arkansas.

Blair tended to share Hillary’s “complex, pragmatic view of politics and men,” said David Maraniss, who wrote a biography of Bill Clinton.

The writings show Hillary Clinton apparently took a dim view of women who accuse politicians of caddish behavior.

Discussing harassment charges against then-Sen. Bob Packwood — whose help Hillary Clinton sought for her health care plan — Blair wrote in 1993 that Hillary was “tired of all these whiny women.”

The papers include a polling memo from Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, stating that voters admired the couple, but adding: “What voters find slick in Bill Clinton, they find ruthless in Hillary.”

Blair’s notes cover a “hellacious” first year for Hillary in Washington, where her health care reform hit resistance on Capitol Hill.

Blair wrote that in 1993 Hillary Clinton was “dumbfounded by people who look her in the eye and lie to her” and frustrated by the White House’s failure to fight back.

"HC still in despair that nobody in WH tough and mean enough,” Blair wrote.近日一份關於美國前國務卿希拉里的檔案被一個非營利網站曝光。這份檔案裏記有希拉里與“閨蜜”之間談話的文字記錄,根據記錄,希拉里曾怒斥萊溫斯基爲“自戀的蠢瘋子”,還稱讚了丈夫與萊溫斯基的分手。

文章全面展示了希拉里·克林頓在丈夫比爾·克林頓當總統期間,經歷人生低谷時的一些心路歷程,包括著名的萊溫斯基醜聞案。根據布萊爾的文字記錄,希拉里曾怒斥萊溫斯基爲“自戀的蠢瘋子”,還稱讚了丈夫與萊溫斯基的分手。

布萊爾還曾寫道,希拉里曾表示一些親友的悲劇也影響到了她的婚姻,比如白宮副法律顧問文森特·福斯特的自殺,還有她的父親和婆婆被人惡意攻擊,都讓她難以承受。

“他們(指克林頓夫婦)採用公關策略來掩飾他們對此毫不在乎,這也是他們必須做的。希拉里並未意識到這些後來都讓丈夫付出了代價。”布萊爾寫道,“她認爲自己是不夠聰明,不夠敏感。”

報道稱,布萊爾留下的文字記錄中還有一個經常提到的話題,希拉里很不滿當議員時圍在她身邊的一些人。在進行醫保辯論時,希拉里曾認爲國會裏都是一羣“膽小”的“發牢騷的人”;她還與丈夫的幕僚和其他工作人員發生衝突;媒體也是她攻擊的對象,認爲他們“自尊自大又沒有頭腦”;更是憤怒地表示丈夫在總統第一任期時“完全把自己和執政給毀了。”

“她一直試着在引導事件的走向,但是比爾不能隨便開除別人,也不能制定紀律和規矩和懲罰泄密的人。” 在1994年5月17日的一份記錄中,布萊爾寫道:“她在白水事件和克林頓各種緋聞面前也毫無辦法,這讓她十分崩潰。”

據悉,這份文字記錄包括通信記錄、日記、記事本和筆記等。網站將這些材料全部整理後形成一篇文字並發表。希拉里的好友將其描述成一個“強勢、有野心並冷酷的民主黨操盤手”。

保存與希拉里談話文字記錄的“閨蜜”是美國政治科學教授戴安娜·布萊爾。布萊爾曾在比爾·克林頓1992年參選美國總統時擔任高級研究員,並在其1996年他再次當選時成爲其高級幕僚,希拉里曾稱她爲“親密的好友”。布萊爾於2000年逝世前,將她和希拉里之間談話的文字記錄捐贈給阿肯色大學特別藏品圖書館。
