Reading Into Hillary

Politics / Humor - The biographies “A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton” by Carl Bernstein, and the soon-to-be-released “Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton” by Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. paint a less-than flattering portrait of the presidential contender. The books do not deal fatal blows to her campaign, but can she withstand the almost certain stream of tell-all books to follow? Here are a few examples of what Senator Clinton can expect:

• “Nothing Rankles Like Fat Ankles: My Seven Months in Hell as Hillary Clinton’s Pilates Instructor” by Stretch Dubenstein

• “I’m OK, You’re Dead If You Tell Anyone I’m Not OK: Dr. Phil’s Conversations with Hillary Clinton” by Dr. Phil

• “A Convenient Truth: Global Freezing Within 10 Yards of Hillary Clinton” by Frosty Hillerman

• “The Audacity of Proposing Comprehensive Universal Health Care: It looked Good on Paper” by Dr. What.

• “The year of Revengeful Thinking: After Hillary Clinton Met Her Private Investigator” by Betsé Frappuccino (staff cleaning woman for TMZ.com)

• “Harry Potter and the Wonk from Shrew” by J. K. Rowling

• “The 978 ‘Other’ Women You’ll Meet in Hell” by Monica Lewinsky

• “Red Pantsuits for a Blue Lady: The Night Wayne Newton Slept in the Lincoln Bedroom” by Shecky Green

• “Never Tell Senator Clinton Her Bra Strap is Showing: One Intern’s Semester in Hell” by Sybil Gorman

• “Vince Foster’s Brain is Alive and Living in Chappaqua” by Tom Delay
