Morris: Hillary Paranoid about Secret Service
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton distrusts the Secret Service so much that she once accused her bodyguards of "hating" her and her husband, longtime Clinton advisor Dick Morris reveals in his new book "Rewriting History." "They hate us," she railed according to Morris, after the Secret Service warned that a 1996 trip to Pittsburgh would require shutting down the railroad there for security reasons.
Well, why would they hate such fine, upstanding members of sociery?
The way I got it, the Secret Service guys were kind of indulgent of Bill, who is a gregarious fellow who jes' natcherly likes people, and really did dislike Hillary, who regarded them as the help. The equation was reversed with Mr. & Mrs. Gore. Apparently Tipper is a pretty nice lady.
"[They] will shut down the entire Eastern Seaboard just to embarrass us if we give them the excuse," the then first lady complained.
As opposed to, say, shutting down LAX for an hour for a haircut?
"They’re mainly Republicans," she raged.
Well, that explains it, then...
"They always take the most extreme option just to cause us embarrassment. We enter a city and they close down all the traffic. We can’t go to Pittsburgh."
Or Los Angeles.
In her own book, "Living History," Hillary remembers her relationship with the Secret Service somewhat differently.
Of course she does!
As Morris notes, Mrs. Clinton praises "the tone of cooperation and flexibility that came to characterize our relationships with the help agents sworn to protect us."
I couldn’t find a good link to it but Madame Hillary held up a commercial flight sometime earlier this year so she could sign copies of the above-mentioned rewriting of Living History.
