Good post! Thanks for posting the link to the NY Times article, I had somehow missed it. Her letters sound remarkably unincriminating for a girl growing up in the 60′s. My letters from college would have had the self-involvement and angst, to be sure, but a lot more references to things that I wouldn’t have wanted the public to know if I were trying to run for president 35 years later. Which just proves Hillary probably would have disapproved of me in college and wouldn’t have been fun to hang out with. So where does that leave me for voting purposes? I think we should draft Elizabeth Edwards for president in ’08!

Sorry, HRC can’t make it that night….she’s hanging out with us at the bowling alley, knocking back a few pitchers and greasy food. She said she just wants to keep it real and not use our “bluecollarness” as a campaign tool.

Did you know she can burp the alphabet….backwards?

I think it would be very cool if HRC showed up at LA Angst with y’all! What a great concept.

This must be killing her opponents in both parties. Was she planning for the Presidency at Wellesley? My family came from Canada. My Dad was part of the brain drain and the race to the moon. They were exciting times yet what happened then was also shocking to us: the assassinations, the race riots, Vietnam et al. The letters will never cause the same uproar as her cleavage but will still prove damning to her opponents inside and outside the party. They will reveal someone who cared and decided to do something about it. Some poor slob in 2005 at The Economist was obliged to read a book, The Truth About Hillary, and he wrote a book review, “O lucky woman!”. He summed it up in the opening of his review, ” THERE is only one thing more useful in politics than having the right friends, and that is having the right enemies. Mrs Clinton has long owed a big debt to her critics on the deranged right, and, with this week’s publication of Edward Klein’s Ã¢â‚¬Å“The Truth About HillaryÃ¢â‚¬Â?, it is clear that her luck still holds.” Indeed it does.

I bet you Ms. Clinton was reading Siddhartha at the time she wrote those letters. I think I wrote the same type of letters in college.

If she reads at LA Angst, I am SO voting for her.
