The ‘Real’ Hillary Clinton, Wiccan Priestess And Lawn Bowler

Lately, two more high-profile books about Hillary Clinton have been published. There have been a lot of them so far, and there will a lot more of them, and I stand with many Americans when I ask: Where am I supposed to put them all? I suppose I could brick them up in the room where I keep the amontillado, but then what would I serve my guests?

..both books purport to show us the "real Hillary," and both books fail. Indeed, almost every book about Clinton attempts to uncover the "real Hillary," and not one has come close. Perhaps there is no there there; perhaps there is too much there there.

The "real Hillary" is the great quest, the ever-receding goal, the solitary unicorn of modern journalism. Many seek her; none find her. It's all very medieval.

I want to end the madness. I want to talk about the real Hillary I know, not the senator or the politician or the wife or the campaigner or the policy wonk -- we have all seen those public faces of a very private woman. No, I want to talk about Hillary Clinton, Wiccan priestess and lawn bowler.

I first met Hillary at an Ostara festival (although it could have been Mabon -- I get them confused, don't you?) Full Story
