Hillary Bashing Redux

A letter to the editor in today's New Orleans Times Picayune takes Hillary to task for her "Crass Commercialism" in making a book tour to promote her new book Living History instead of minding the store in the Senate. The writer compares Hillary unfavorably to other former first ladies whose presidential husbands were unfaithful: Jackie Onassis "who lived a life of quiet dignity," and Eleanor Roosevelt who "devoted her life to helping others on a national and international scale." The writer failed to mention that Mrs. Roosevelt wrote several books (Including book tours) lectured extensively (for money) and a regular newspaper column. The writer also overlooked other Senatorial examples of "Crass Commercialism:" Senator Elizabeth Dole, her husband former Senator Bob Dole (who ran unsuccessfully against Bill Clinton for president instead of minding the store) and Viagra!!
