Dee Dee Myers: Hillary's a B---h
As first lady, Hillary Clinton had a habit of raging at even
senior White House aides, hurling personal insults designed to
belittle and humiliate them in front of their colleagues,
according to former White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers.
Myers lifted the lid on Mrs. Clinton's long-rumored nasty temper
in an amazingly candid interview with ABCNews.com, which gathered
the accounts of several former White House staffers to
commemorate the end of the Clinton administration.
One vivid example cited by Myers was the internal administration
debate over how to handle Whitewater. Myers, George
Stephanopoulos and several others in the meeting favored turning
all documents from the Clintons' controversial land deal over to
the Washington Post.
But when Mrs. Clinton entered the room and demanded to know what
was going on, everybody "clammed up."
"Mrs. Clinton wanted to know what was going on and she looked at
George," reports Myers. "And George began to make the argument
that we'd all been making and nobody backed him up. Nobody backed
him up. Everyone just sat there and let George take the beating,
you know.
"And Mrs. Clinton got really angry," said Myers. "She attacked
George, which everyone knew was coming, which is why I guess
nobody was willing to ride in there to the rescue. ... Here were
12 people in the room who all basically agreed and only one of
them was willing to stand up and tell her what she had asked. And
that took a lot of courage."
Myers told ABC that when anyone tried to disagree with Mrs.
Clinton, her temper could be vicious and more deliberately
hurtful than even her husband's notorious purple rages.
"Anybody that stood up and tried to say this was a bad idea was,
you know, smashed down and belittled, very personally," the
Clinton loyalist revealed. "And I mean where I said the president
didn't really attack people personally, Mrs. Clinton sometimes
did."
The one-time Clinton spokeswoman said that White House staffers
lived in fear of the first lady because her attacks sometimes
wouldn't end when her temper tantrums subsided.
"Not only would she sort of humiliate you in front of your
colleagues or whoever happened to be around," Myers said,
"Hillary tended to kind of campaign against people behind their
back, and that was certainly my experience."
"She was not happy with me, but she never confronted me. She
would go call [then-White House chief of staff] Leon [Panetta] in
and yell at him and then he'd have to call me in and say, 'Mrs.
Clinton is really upset about X. You said Y, and she disagrees
with that, and you know, she wants you to fix it,' or whatever."
Myers is the first Clinton loyalist to go public with charges
that Mrs. Clinton would brutalize White House aides with her
rages.
Previous accounts of Clinton's notorious temper were generally
dismissed by mainstream reporters as the grumblings of
disgruntled former employees.
Nearly two years ago, Hillary biographer Barbara Olson reported
that White House counsel Abner Mikva was so incensed over Mrs.
Clinton's conduct that he resigned after one profanity-laced
upbraiding by the first lady.
Another Clinton biographer, Gail Sheehy - who has spent hours
with the first lady since the 1992 campaign - wrote that Clinton
seemed to be "in a perpetual state of suspended anger."
Once Hillary even tried to kick an Arkansas state trooper
bodyguard who got in her way, according to Clinton biographer
Christopher Andersen.
And one-time White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich reported in 1996
that junior White House staffers were ordered not to make eye
contact with the first lady lest they anger her.
But during her New York Senate campaign, the media never touched
on these and dozens of other accounts about Mrs. Clinton's
temper, portraying her instead as a warm and genuinely likable
personality.
