Hillary Clinton, during the 92 campaign, did an interview with Vanity Fair.

And here's what she said.

This is A6, please.

She did this interview in May of 92 is when it was published.

And it's with a reporter named Gail Sheehy.

Some of you may know her, some of you not.

She's a very good reporter, very good at getting people to talk.

And here's what Gail Sheehy wrote in May of 92.

Hillary boils over what she perceives as a double standard, that the press has shied away from investigating longstanding rumors about George Bush.

And they talk about a conversation that Hillary says she had with somebody

A rich woman who said, you know, they're going to circle the wagons around him.

Now, President Bush, 41, was long rumored to have had an affair with a woman who worked for him on his staff.

And, you know, to this day, I couldn't tell you what's true or not, but I can tell you everybody in Washington, those of you listening to the podcast, I'm doing air quotes, everybody said they knew about it.

And it was, quote, unquote, common knowledge.

And President Bush had never been asked about it.

The Washington Post did a hilarious thing.

They wrote about her.

There was some controversy about this woman named Jennifer Fitzgerald.

And they wrote about her and they said she had served under President Bush in a variety of positions.

And everybody at Washington snickered at that.
