Quote:
“On Monday [Feb 10, 2014], The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, unloaded a trove of documents from Mr [Bill] Clinton’s White House years from Diane D Blair, a close friend of Mrs Clinton who died in 2000. The Blair papers include diary entries based on conversations with Mrs Clinton, private memos and letters that had been kept at the archives of the University of Arkansas, where Ms Blair had taught political science.
“But, mostly, the papers paint a bleak picture of the Clintons’ time in the White House, filled with devastating personal trials * * * Mrs Clinton expressed frustration with Washington’s ‘insane process’ and her determination to ‘figure out how to make the crappy thing work.’ The takeaway [from the Blair papers], perhaps, is not so much that the past could hurt Mrs. Clinton’s chances at the White House should she run in 2016. It is a question of why, after all that heartache, would she want to go back?
