to diane blair, narcissistic loony tunes, i'd like to say in my husband's trade, that would be the nicest possible thing. if i'm the other woman, you can see her wrestling with her husband's indiscretions. it was obviously very, very painful to her. >> i got to take -- >> trailer trash. >> hold on. hold on. wait a second. you are a family values traditional conservative, loud and proud well known in the country for that. are you no the pro-divorce caucus now? hillary clinton is the only person in the world -- >> i'm commenting on whether or not she should have stayed married. >> shouldn't you be proud of hillary clinton for sticking with her marriage? >> hang on. what i'm commenting on is whether or not she actually took on the issue of these women being demeaned and destroyed. she was not the only one. there were victims all around the clintons. the month one woman -- by the way, remember all the articles that came out from the arkansas state police how that he would use them to procure women. this has been going on for ages. so the minute he sent her out front to say it was the right-wi

and she referred to diary entries from hillary clinton's friend diane blair who quoted hillary calling lewinsky a narcissistic loony toon in 1998 but blaming herself for being emotionally neglectful of her husband, the president. hillary clinton wanted it on the record that she was lashing out at her husband's mistress. she may have faulted her husband for being appropriate, but i find her impulse to blame the woman, not only me, but herself troubling. according to lewinsky, she turned down millions of dollars to tell her story to avoid the political fray when hillary clint clinton ran for president. but now she wonders with clinton considering another race, should she put her life on hold for another eight to ten years? lewinsky's comments surfaced just as hillary clinton was asked today what she'd be giving up if she runs again. >> obviously i'm thinking about that right now. for me i am somebody who has to really mull things over. because there is a cost to everything. >> reporter: andrea mitchell, nbc news, washington. >>> after a break, we're back in a moment with something passen

. >> some of the notes of diane blair and one of the things that it said in addition to hillary clintoner a loony toon is hillary blaming herself for the affair which monica wrote, disappointed her. >> when you see her every day talking about girls and women and issues, it was about feminism where they came down on monica so hard. i do think it's interesting and whether it's something that hillary clinton will feel the need to weigh in on, i doubt it. but it does spark kind of concern. >> lynne cheney, the former wife -- the wife of the former vice president was on fox news the other night and she saw a conspiracy in this and she said that she wondered if "vanity fair," because it's a democratic publication, or left-leaning, to a degree, if they had a hand in it, if this was blessed by the clintons to get it out of the way before the 2016 run. >> i think they have been trying to get this essay out of monica lewinsky for 15 years. it seems fairly unsubstantiated and crazy. what strikes me about the whole thing is there's a whole generation of voters who have no idea of what this is about
