Hillary Clinton's Vulgar Mouth.

Read about it here:

"Hillary Clinton's Vulgar Mouth." Selwyn Duke.

UPDATE (1/18/08):

A more complete listing for posterity:

"Hillary In Her Own Words." Tammy Bruce.com, 12/28/07.

My unsubstantiated thought on psychology is that inexpressible anger can come out as bad language. Dr. Sanity could do that thought more justice. Or debunk it, one.

The fact that much of the language used with and about Bill was so low rent suggests the source of her anger. The fact that the language spilled out and was directed at so many other people, and was so very abusive and in-your-face insulting, is an indication of just how much anger and hurt she was feeling. Bill Clinton certainly found a hundred and one ways to negate Hillary's belief in herself as an attractive women. Which she is, I have always maintained. At least in the days after she did all she could to make herself a poster girl for feminist femme-negation.

Maybe such demeaning attitudes toward others was always part of her, but that seems unlikely. I’ve never known any person in my experience to have used profanity so aggressively. People I’ve encountered who were much given to profanity used it in a way that was often diffuse and untargeted, a way of enlivening speech but without its being personal and confrontational.

Something came along to stoke the furnace inside Hillary and it must surely have been Bill’s indifference toward her. He offered her a great deal of intellectual stimulation and excitement initially because she could be close to so much intellect and political capability and ambition.

In the end, she remained wedded to him, not by any traditional view of the connection between men and women, but by her own political ambitions. That wedding has taken her to where she is now, but along the way she paid a price. It wouldn't have been a bad bargain really if Bill had been something other than a satyr.

If.

The language, if accurately recorded, is evidence of how high a price it was. Not to have had a real wedding to a normal man.
