>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 for a joint production of ABC's Nightline and
>PBS's Frontline, which gathered the accounts of twenty former White House
>staffers to commemorate the end of the Clinton years.
>
>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.
>
>For the full ABC/PBS retrospective on the Clinton years, including the
>complete interview with Myers and other White House aides, go to
