Hillary The Other Woman, A Political Memoir by Dolly Kyle
Dagospia

I came across a title at the online library app on my phone titled: "Hillary The Other Woman: A Political Memoir," by Dolly Kyle. At first I thought it was about Hillary Clinton and her run in her many political roles, until I started listening to the audio book. Soon I realized this book was a huge bash towards the Clintons' and I was appalled to say the least.

I couldn't image how scorned this Dolly Kyle must have been in order for her to write such things about Bill (Billy) Clinton and Hillary (The Warden) Clinton. She made huge accusations of murder, sex scandals, body odor, lies, bad parenting and so much more. She had nothing nice to say about the man she supposedly had a decades-long affair with. According to Kyle, he was a rapists, predator, and sex addict. I don't know too many people who would continue a relationship with someone who they whole-heartedly thought was a rapist and predator, do you?

What is interesting to me is that when she was 16 she claimed to be raped by one of Bill's friends in high school, but then started a family when she was 17. When she was starting her family there were accusations that Bill had raped a young girl, but yet she still decided then that she couldn't leave him alone. Sounds suspect to me.

She also called Hillary smelly, a bad mother and said she was riding Bill's coattails for political involvement. All I can say is, how unbelievable for a mother to bash, in a novel, another mother for personal gain. And how despicable of her to use a baby (Chelsea) as a hook and sinker for Bill being a great father and Hillary being an awful mother. It just doesn't make sense.

The whole book was a plug for Kyle's singing career and her broken heart for being the mistress to Bill Clinton. She had only observations no hard facts and basically told the reader, believe me or you're just as stupid as the Clintons'. She was condescending in her stories and her words and believed herself to be the end-all to the Clinton scandal. She was the opposite. The author showed her true colors as a woman scorned. She showed her loose lips and abusive personality towards another human being because she didn't get her way. In the beginning of the book and throughout, she informs the reader that she is telling a true story, because she said it was, not because she had any evidence to back her. No interviews, no letters, he said/she said. Just her point of view, her side, her stories how she saw them.

As a writer, I feel that this book was a sham. A ploy to make money and try to muddy the Clinton name. She had such a disdain for Hillary that she had to write a tell-all of her supposed affair with Bill and make it seem like Hillary was to blame. Mind you, this Dolly Kyle referred to Hillary as smelly, a smelly woman when she first met her in the 70's. How classy? Is that the southern charm she brought up in her book so many times?

She went as far as to say that the Clintons' were mafia and were able to "take care" of issues (people, scandals ETC). She implied that she was threatened to be "taken care of" if she published this novel. Sounds fishy to me. Read the book or don't and take away what you will. I still support the Clintons' and this books just made me love them even more.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
