You don&#8217;t just walk away if you love someone &#8212; you help the person,&#8221; she said, according to a Reuters report by Laurence McQuillan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He couldn&#8217;t protect me, so he lied,&#8221; said Hillary. &#8220;You know in Christian theology there are sins of weakness and sins of malice, and this was a sin of weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funny. I never thought the first family was particularly religious, but I guess it sure helps to invoke Christian compassion and forgiveness when dealing with a serious political scandal.<\/p>\n<p>And, sure, he lied to protect his wife and family, not himself. What a noble deed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, he has weaknesses,&#8221; continued the first lady.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, he needs to be more disciplined, but it is remarkable given his background that he turned out to be the kind of person he is, capable of such leadership.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was so young, barely four, when he was scarred by abuse,\u201d claimed Sir Hillary. \u201cThere was terrible conflict between his mother and grandmother. A psychologist told me that being in the middle of a conflict between two women is the worst possible situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What a curious statement to come from a confirmed feminist and champion of women\u2019s rights! \u201cA psychologist told me that being in the middle of a conflict between two women is the worst possible situation.\u201d  So what does that say about women?<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Clinton should be truly ashamed of herself. Imagine contributing to such hurtful female stereotypes: the notion of women as malicious, conniving shrews! Impossible!<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s worse: Hopeful Senator Hillary just took a stab at Lesbian adoption and possibly even gay parenthood.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, I guess being caught in a conflict between two women only makes a young boy want to be with all sorts of women as an adult, although most men have never been caught in such a conflict and yet they still want to spend time with all sorts of attractive women. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Clinton told the new Talk Magazine, &#8220;I thought he had conquered it. I thought he understood it, but he didn&#8217;t go deep enough or work hard enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No, he probably didn\u2019t go deep enough; but if he did, he would have ruined his entire defense. And, yes, he really didn\u2019t work hard enough: all he did was just stand there, although he was making some very important phone calls in the process.<\/p>\n<p>So at least he was being partially productive. After all, I am sure that the first lady, if she really was the first, wouldn\u2019t want the president to be too productive in this case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s responsible for his own behavior whether I&#8217;m there or 100 miles away,&#8221; Mrs. Clinton maintained. &#8220;You have the confrontation with the person, and then it is their responsibility, whether it&#8217;s gambling, drinking or whatever. Nobody can do it for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, someone has to do it for the president. He couldn\u2019t very well be expected to do it by himself, could he now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent magazine interview, first Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton blamed her husband&#8217;s &#8220;weaknesses&#8221; and infidelity on abuses the president suffered as a child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47550\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
