"'The list of so-called "sinners and saints' -- including John Kerry, now secretary of state, and the late Ted Kennedy - was compiled on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in the dying days of Mrs Clinton's losing bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008," Foster writes.

"The alleged 'cheat-sheet' of betrayals -- and there were many that year -- ranked offenders on a scale from 1 to 7 and was compiled by aides to give the Clintons an instant database of those who deserved political favour, and those who did not.

"Almost six years later, most Clinton aides can still rattle off the names of traitors and the favors that had been done for them then provide details of just how each of the guilty had gone on to betray the Clintons as if it all had happened just a few hours before," wrote the authors (of the book) HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton., in the same article by Peter Foster cited above.

"The Clintons have a reputation in Washington for long memories, but the existence of a digital "favour book" raises questions about how Mrs Clinton, now 66, might conduct another run at the presidency in 2016," Foster writes.

Meantime, Kate Andersen Brower writes in Politico about the kind of vicious attack dogs this fanged, duo-from-hell actually are: "White House Florist Ronn Payne remembers one day during the Clinton presidency when he was coming up the service elevator with a cart to pick up old floral arrangements and saw two butlers gathered outside the West Sitting Hall listening in as the Clintons argued viciously with each other. The butlers motioned him over and put their fingers to their lips, telling him to be quiet. All of a sudden he heard the first lady bellow "goddamn bastard!" at the president--and then he heard someone throw a heavy object across the room. The rumor among the staff was that she threw a lamp. The butlers, Payne said, were told to clean up the mess. In an interview with Barbara Walters, Mrs. Clinton made light of the story, which had made its way into the gossip columns. 'I have a pretty good arm,' she said. 'If I'd thrown a lamp at somebody, I think you would have known about it.'"

"Payne wasn't surprised at the outburst. You heard so much foul language" in the Clinton White House, he said. "When you're somebody's domestic, you know what's going on,' the Politico writer adds.

Kate Andersen Bower also writes in the same article about the sadness, calamity and dysfunction in the Clinton White House after Bill's affair with Monica Lewinsky, who was at the time young enough to be the President's daughter: "Betty Finney, now 78, started as a White House maid in 1993. She spent most of her time in the family's private quarters and remembers well how things changed in those final years. 'Things were definitely more tense. You just felt bad for the entire family and what they were going through," she says. "You could feel the sadness. There wasn't as much laughter.'"

"Florist Bob Scanlan was less guarded about the atmosphere: 'It was like a morgue when you'd go up to the second floor. Mrs. Clinton was nowhere to be found.'" the article continues.

"During the height of the drama, Hillary routinely missed afternoon appointments. The details of running the executive mansion, understandably, took a backseat to saving her husband's presidency and their marriage. For three or four months in 1998, the president slept on a sofa in a private study attached to their bedroom on the second floor. Most of the women on the residence staff thought he got what he deserved," Politico reports.

"Even Butler James Ramsey, a self-proclaimed ladies' man, blushed when the subject came up. He said Clinton was his 'buddy, but " come on now.' As usual, during the Lewinsky scandal Ramsey said he kept his 'mouth shut.'"

"Some on the staff have said that Hillary knew about Lewinsky long before it came out, and that what really upset her was not the affair itself but its discovery and the media feeding frenzy that followed," according to Kate Andersen Bower.

So now this domestic trainwreck, a good fit for a double-wide trailer in back of the Do Drop Inn Saloon & Grill in Rabbitsville Township, wants to take command of the White House again. What in the world do these two have to offer to America and the world except more misery and dysfunction? Maybe since Hillary will be wearing the pants in this new political liaison, an official "White House 12-gauge" will be added to the domicile's implements.

Well dog gone! Just looky who's awaitin' us all at the hillbilly White House?

Well they say that old family feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families down around the West Virginia-Kentucky border may have begun because one family member stole a pig from the other family. Nobody really remembers which family did the stealing and which family owned the pig, but after more than 100 people have been killed over it all, does it really matter? What gave this bloody history its impetus isn't so important, now is it?

And good old homey folks are also prone to not only stretch the truth a bit while spinning a yarn, but actually become involved with manure-spreader types of lying. Some of the lies Hillary has told are real zingers, and toward the end of my other op-ed on Hillary, titled "Oh Hillary", which flew here on the front page on Monday and Tuesday, I had these five lies at the end of my piece:
