Hillary Clinton Said "Screw 'Em" Once, Nation Prepares to Freak the Eff Out

In his book, "The Truth of Power: Intellectual Affairs in the Clinton White House" author Benjamin Barber claims that he witnessed Hillary Clinton saying something that runs in counter-distinction to her current hard-drinkin', quick-shootin', blue-collar-lovin' persona…

In January 1995, as the Clintons were licking their wounds from the 1994 congressional elections, a debate emerged at a retreat at Camp David. Should the administration make overtures to working class white southerners who had all but forsaken the Democratic Party? The then-first lady took a less than inclusive approach.

"Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

First of all, this anecdote comes from a book, so it's probably not true.

Second of all, it's been taken completely out of context. By "screw 'em," she probably meant "make love to 'em." Or "insert or fasten through the act of turning 'em."

Third of all, she wasn't talking about white people. She was talking about southern white people. And everybody knows they can go screw themselves.

Except for the ones in Florida.
