> If how you treat the help is a measure of character, then Joyce Milton
> has nailed The First Feminist, Sort Of, as a petty, slightly paranoid
> and totally politically correct spoilsport.
>
> Milton has done this by a thorough investigation of Hillary as
> Horrible Hostess in the White House kitchen, a veritable sharks' pool
> of intrigue where even work-a-day dishwashers pine for the sainted
> Barbara Bush. At least she gave them a day off.

>
> Milton, author of the new biography ``The First Partner,'' as well as
> biographies of the Lindberghs, Rosenbergs and Charlie Chaplin, reports
> on Hillary's need to demonize the opposition; her trailer-trash class
> baiting. She's got the Clinton buzzwords down. ``Zone of Privacy.''
> And ``That's my story and I'm sticking to it.''
>
>
>
> She's got telling anecdotes: Hillary makes much of going to hospitals
> to read to sick kids. But when it comes to photo ops, Milton reports,
> she substitutes the hospital staff's kids for sick ones: she won't be
> pictured with all those breathing tubes.
>
>
>
> Here's another tale: She fired the White House usher for the first
> time in the 103-year history of the position. His offense: speaking
> four times on the phone to Barbara Bush. Apparently he taught Mrs.
> Bush to use a laptop and she'd called and left messages, which he
> returned.
>
>
>
> Milton also covers serious stuff: Whitewater, the Chinese connection,
> the health-care debacle and Hillary's resume. ``It's hard to get a
> grip on her record, except for lots of sloppily run programs and
> utopian ideas,'' Milton said yesterday.
>
>
>
> Then, happily, she descended to a level we catty Hillary-haters can
> understand. ``She's just a very bossy lady,'' said Milton. ``She's
> afraid if people like me are allowed to make our own decisions we'll
> make the wrong decisions, which we will. But we'd like the freedom to
> make them.
>
>
>
> ``Her idea is to use government to get people to do things the right
> way. She thinks she knows the right way. To do everything.'' Which is
> clearly illustrated in Hillary's reign of terror over the White House
> kitchen.
>
>
>
> ``Bill and I do a lot of fiber.'' So she announced to the famed French
> chef Pierre Chambrin, who'd perfected such delights, I am told, as
> home-cured salmon and Virginia squab for the Bushes. No more.
>
>
>
> While the nation watched Bill devour Big Macs with cheese on the
> nightly news, she told Chambrin he was allergic both to beef and dairy
> products. ``Portion control!'' became her rallying cry.
>
>
>
> Quickly she eliminated hors d'oeuvres and the cheese course from White
> House state dinners. If she couldn't eat it, neither could anyone
> else. So those who'd waited lifetimes for such invites showed up in
> black tie to dine on steamed halibut and cauliflower, hold the sauce.
>
>
>
> Then, right after banning smoking anywhere in the White House (despite
> its international guests like the French, heavy smokers who outlive us
> all), she demanded organic all-American ingredients. She actually sent
> Chambrin 30 cookbooks, earmarking recipes for the low-fat nouvelle
> cuisine she wanted. Then she brought in Dr. Dean Ornish, the 10
> percent of your calories from fat guru, to teach the chef about
> nutrition.
>
>
>
> Chambrin quit, but not before managing to slip ``greasy chicken fat''
> into the low-fat dishes she thought she was eating. Or so the rumor
> goes.
>
>
>
> There's so much more. Suffice to say, ``The First Partner'' details
> how The First Feminist, Sort Of, runs the White House kitchen and
> everything else in the way that she decides is best for everyone else.
> And she always knows what's best. For everyone.

>
> ``There's a lot of displaced anger there,'' Milton says.

>
>
> You know, some of us have been wincing lately for would-be first lady
> Tipper Gore. She was in Boston and on the ``Today'' show assuring us
> that Al is a sexy guy, giggling about what Al wears, or doesn't wear,
> to bed.
>
>
>
> And while Tipper may be too sorority-sister bubbly and, let's face it,
> just as uninteresting as Al, she does seem, at least, real, sincere,
> fun, likeable - such a warm contrast to the holier-than-thou
> know-it-all who appears ready to mow down New York state, and possibly
> win. My God, if you think she's insufferable now, wait.
And then, better living through chemistry ...
