In reply to the discussion: Juanita Broaddrick is a hypocrite, shameful opportunist and nothing but a shady partisan hack. [View all]politicaljunkie41910
(3,335 posts)During the Ken Starr chronicles, (I was a political junkie even then) a man wrote a book about the Clintons and he explained that in order to understand what went on there you had to know what the social scene in Little Rock, Arkansas, was like. He said that the town didn't have much going on but that the upwardly mobile had very active social scene with lots of parties thrown by bored wealthy socialites whose husbands didn't pay a lot of attention to their wives, and that they even had a lot of wife swapping that went on among this group of people, even at these parties and elsewhere. All consensual. All the women seemed to love Bill Clinton because he was everything their husbands weren't, handsome, attentive, and could charm their 'pants' off, though he didn't need to. They gladly obliged. But Bill Clinton wasn't wealthy so they had no plans to leave their husbands. They just wanted the excitement and the sex. Hillary and Bill were both intelligent, ambitious and both had plans that went beyond Arkansas.
Now as far as Juanita Broaddrick goes, on the day of the alleged rape, she was supposed to meet Bill in the coffee shop of a hotel to discuss business related to her work at a nursing home she ran. Once there, Bill Clinton talked her into going upstairs to a room he had reserved, where they could talk better. She went willingly. Once inside, she stated that the only furniture in the room was a bed. At that point it was obvious they were not going to do much talking. She let him kiss her and she didn't seem to have a problem until he 'got rough' and 'bit her lip'. But the sex continued. It was only when he was through and got ready to leave that she felt 'used', like some women do when they find out that they were, (as some of our mothers use to warn us about) just a warm place to put it. I imagine she felt used and cast aside, and was probably angry once she thought about it, but I don't think that her buyer's remorse fit the definition of rape in that day and age.
