Is Hillary A Dyke?

So that's what this book--The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President--seems to imply. Here are some claims that are apparently made by the book's author, Edward Klein:

  • The culture of lesbianism has influenced Hillary's political goals and personal life since she was a student at Wellesley, an elite college near Boston

  • She 'embraced' revolutionary lesbianism when she was young and tolerated her husband's philandering because their marriage was a largely sexless political convenience

  • She said she was passionately in love with her husband, but many of her closest friends and aides were lesbians. Everything was ambiguous

  • Chelsea Clinton was conceived as a ploy to cover up Hillary's sexuality
Regardless of whether the rumors are true, they'll provide a lot of fodder for Republican strategists if--most likely when--it comes to a general election that includes Clinton.


So, is Hillary Clinton a lesbian? It wouldn't surprise me.

The idea of "revolutionary lesbianism" is somewhat frightening, however.
