"You better put some ice on that!"



At PJ Media, Jeff Reynolds reports,
Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who claims that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, has written a book about the event. Published on Amazon, Kindle and print versions of the book have sold briskly. Now, however, Amazon has halted sales of the Kindle version of the book after five months of problem-free sales, and Broaddrick is sounding the alarm.

The book, You'd Better Put Some Ice On That: How I Survived Being Raped by Bill Clinton, gives Broaddrick's side of the story. The Amazon preview says, in part:

Now, with award-winning former investigative journalist Nick Lulli, she tells her story of survival; from the assault at the hands of the future president, to the veiled threats by a seemingly complicit presidential wannabe Hillary Rodham Clinton; Broaddrick believes now is the time to set the record straight and ensure victims everywhere are believed.
In a Facebook post on June 12, Broaddrick wrote:

Outrageous!! Was just sent this by Amazon. My book has been #1 on Kindle and selling just fine for 5 months. Formatting tool was supplied by Amazon. Publisher, Create Space, is owned by Amazon. IS AMAZON TRYING TO SILENCE MY BOOK?

Slick Willie and trailer parks

Mark Steyn writes,
since Trump decided to "go there", both Clintons are now getting asked on the campaign trail about Bill's record as a serial abuser. After all the confident swagger that Trump was the candidate she wanted to run against, the Clinton campaign has now decided that Hillary has made a "New Year resolution" not to talk about him unless and until he gets the nomination. Via CNN, Slick Willie on the stump:

Asked about Trump's attacks on Thursday, the 42nd president passed up an opportunity to hit back.

"I have no interest in getting involved in (Republican Party) politics or doing anything except working to help Hillary," Clinton told reporters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

"Donald Trump says a lot of things," he added.

Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who has accused Clinton of raping her decades ago while he was the attorney general of Arkansas, tweeted Wednesday: "I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73....it never goes away."

I think that right there is more coverage than CNN gave Juanita Broaddrick back in the Nineties. If this keeps up, look for Bill to be quietly retired from the campaign trail. As to the Cosby/Clinton comparison, Democrat (and 2008 Hillary supporter) Kirsten Powers has, like me and Trump, gone there:

Much has changed since Bill and Hillary Clinton were swept into the White House amidst sordid tales about the Arkansas governor's extra-marital sex life.

Back then, a senior campaign aide (Betsey Wright) on a Democratic campaign could utter the phrase "bimbo eruptions" to demean women claiming to have had an affair with Bill Clinton. Today, such utterances would be rightly deemed unequivocally sexist.

It was a time when a top Democratic loyalist (James Carville) unabashedly sneered at Paula Jones' allegations of unwanted sexual advances by then-Gov. Clinton with the infamous quip, "If you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find." Most famously, there was a young intern named Monica Lewinsky smeared by a senior White House aide (Sidney Blumenthal) as a "stalker." Blumenthal reportedly also told journalists that the 49-year-old president of the United States had been "the victim of a predatory and unstable sexually demanding young woman," age 22. The president went on to become one of the most respected men in the world. Lewinsky's life was destroyed.

That's true. It was. But nothing personal, that's just the way it is when you get in the way of the Clintons. Hillary is betting that the Nineties rules still apply - that the media will cover for her, and the surrogates will trash any "predatory and unstable sexually demanding" "trailer-park" "bimbo" foolish enough to stick her head above the parapet, and that barked questions captured on cellphone video at ever more heavily screened events won't break through to the general public. Kirsten Powers isn't so sure:

Whatever Trump's failings, he understands cultural shifts. We are a society that has a blessedly lower tolerance for sexual assault and harassment than in prior years. This is good news for America, but bad news for the Clintons. History has caught up with them at the worst possible moment.

Here is Michelle Malkin blasting Carville:

War on Women: We had a rapist in the White House

Breitbart has a story and a NBC News video of Juanita Broaddrick.

"Did you think his interest in you at the time was personal or professional?"
"I thought it was professional...completely."

"Did you have any qualms at all about him coming to the room?"
"I was a little bit uneasy, but I felt a...I felt a real friendship toward this man, and I didn't feel any...any,um, danger in him coming to my room. And I sort of ushered us over to the coffee. I had coffee sitting on a table over by the window. It was a real pretty view looking down at the river. He came around me, and sort of put his arm over my shoulder to point to this little building, and said that he was real interested if he became governor to restore that building...and then all of a sudden he turned me around and started kissing me...and that was a real shock."

"What did you do?"
"Uh, I first pushed him away, and just told him no, please don't do that. He said something like, Did you not know why I was coming up here? I said I'm married, and I have other things going on in my life."

"Had you that morning or at any other time given him any reason to believe that might happen?"
"No, none whatsoever."

"Then what happened?"
"He started kissing me again, and the second time he tries to kiss me, he starts biting on my lip." At this point Juanita covers her face and starts to cry.
