Although she claims that she doesn’t care about money on a “fundamental level,” the aura of monetary indulgence pervades the life of the young Clinton. In 2013, Chelsea doled out $10.3 million for a swanky apartment in sought-after corners of Manhattan’s Flatiron District.

Her 2010 wedding cost $3.3 million, and she walked down the aisle in a Vera Wang dress priced at $25,000. The
National Review
noted that the $3,000 spent on alcohol for the extravagant affair was more than the average American spends on an entire wedding.

Chelsea is a public figure responsible for her actions and her history is relevant to the Clinton story.
In 1977, Hillary became the first female associate at Rose Law Firm, the third oldest firm in the nation. Among the partners at Rose in the late seventies were both Vince Foster and Webb Hubbell. It was a position Hillary craved.
Hillary, Hubbell, and Bill had taken the bar exam together in Arkansas four years earlier. “I remember she had frizzy hair and thick, round glasses, and she was wearing jeans and a light blue sweatshirt with the word YALE on the front of it,” Hubbell said. “Under the wild hair and behind the glasses, there was something oddly attractive about her.”

By 1978, Bill was gearing up for a run at the governorship of Arkansas. Around this time, in a powwow among the Clinton inner circle, Hillary inquired about the then attorney general’s future plans. “Bill, what are you doing?” Hillary asked.
“Hill, I’m gonna
run for governor!” Bill answered boisterously.
“Well I gotta get in Rose…. I’m gonna fuck Hubbell,” Hillary replied without missing a beat.
In 1979, Hillary became the first woman to make full partner at Rose.

The married Hubbell, like Foster, was under the spell of Hillary. “Vince and I were mesmerized by her,” Hubbell said. “She was like nobody we had ever been around before. Bill wasn’t much of a presence in our lives.”
On February 27, 1980, Chelsea Clinton was born. As she grew, she bore none of the distinct features of Bill that Danney Williams had, but curiously many facial similarities to Hubbell.
The genetic giveaway is the protruding large lower lip that both Hubbell and Chelsea possess. Even after going through extensive plastic surgery in her twenties, this feature is still noticeable. The large rubbery Hubbell lips are especially noticeable in pictures of a teenage Chelsea.
In her twenties, Chelsea reportedly had “gotten a nose job and may have also gotten a chin augmentation or implant to give her a stronger jawline,” according to Dr. Jennifer Walden, a Manhattan plastic surgeon. “Chelsea, who wore braces on her teeth during her youth, is now also sporting a less gummy smile and has straightened her naturally curly hair.”

In Dr. Walden’s estimation, “Clinton also underwent dental work and received Juvederm—a dermal filler—to disguise her ‘gummy’ smile.”
483
Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer said that Chelsea has improved over the years and now has a nose that fits her face thanks to her surgeon.
Melrose Larry Green, author of the book
Why the Clintons Belong in Prison
, was one of the first to point out the strong resemblance between Hubbell and Chelsea.
“I present it to you as rumor, not a fact,” Green wrote. “I am the first to admit that without DNA or blood type analysis, this story must unfortunately be considered an allegation, not a fact. I heard this
allegation from many people. According to a woman who has worked for a Republican US Senator for 18 years, the rumor has been around Capitol Hill for years. People who knew and worked with the Clintons in Arkansas have told me they heard the rumor. I am reminded of the maxim: ‘A picture is worth a thousand words.’ Look at the picture of Webb Hubbell in David Brock’s book and judge for yourself.”
Hillary has always been protective of Hubbell. When Clinton was elected president in 1992, Hillary tried to make Bill promise to appoint Hubbell to the U.S. Supreme Court if a vacancy opened. Hillary ordered the newly elected president to give Webb an interim appointment as chief justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court: “Well goddam it Bill, he’s my friend, you can appoint him by law, so do it!” said Hillary according to L. D. Brown.
After Bill was sworn in, Hillary made sure that Hubbell was placed in the number three spot at the Justice Department. Hubbell himself clearly saw Chelsea as one of his greatest achievements.
“On summer evenings, I could sip a drink in my big living room and look out at children—including the Fosters’ and the Clintons’, when Chelsea got big enough—bouncing happily on a trampoline in the shade of my big oak trees,” Hubbell wrote in his account of the Clintons,
Friends in High Places.
“Such a scene made me feel successful.”

CHAPTER 19
HILLARY’S FIGHT FOR WOMEN
“At last we have a First Lady in the White House that we can fuck!”
—A lesbian activist at the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian Gay and Bisexual Rights and Liberation rally
485
H
illary Clinton has long had close ties to the lesbian community. And over the years, many in the media have speculated about her own sexuality. She hasn’t commented on it publicly. Meanwhile, the Clinton Foundation has a sketchy record when it comes to gay rights.
Hillary is a graduate of Wellesley, a women’s college with a long history of having a sizeable lesbian contingent. In the early days of Wellesley: “So many of the college’s female professors lived together in lesbian relationships that a union between two women came to be known as a ‘Wellesley marriage’ or a ‘Boston marriage.’”
486
Two of Hillary’s closest friends at Wellesley became lesbians: Eldie Acheson and Nancy Wanderer. Hillary roomed for four years with Acheson, the granddaughter of Dean Acheson, secretary of state for Harry Truman.
“The
notion of a woman being a lesbian was fascinating to Hillary,” said one of Hillary’s Wellesley friends. “But she was much more interested in lesbianism as a political statement than a sexual practice…. Hillary talked about it a lot, read lesbian literature, and embraced it as a revolutionary concept.”
487
In Arkansas politics during the 1970s and 1980s, Clinton’s friends, taking note of and concerned about Bill’s risky womanizing, would ask a question: “Bill, what does Hillary think about you running around with all these women?” It’s been rumored that Bill would just brush it off and say that Hillary “probably has eaten more pussy than I have.”
In 1974 Hillary’s supposed lesbianism was a campaign issue that the Clintons had to handle. “Hillary’s drab appearance and her brusque manner fueled rumors in both Democratic and Republican circles that she was a lesbian,” said author Chris Andersen. He wrote:
So persistent was the gossip that Paul Fray finally asked Bill point blank if Hillary was indeed gay. When Bill simply shrugged, Fray went straight to Hillary.
”There have been all these rumors, Hillary. Is it true?” he asked.
“It’s nobody’s goddamn business,” she snapped back.
Fray pressed on. “Maybe so,” he said, “but we can’t ignore this—all those rumors are hurting Bill.”
Hillary would have none of it. “Fuck this shit!” she yelled, then stormed off.

The stories went further. In her book
Passion and Betrayal,
Gennifer Flowers recounted the time when she asked Bill if his wife was a lesbian:
“There’s something you need to know. I’ve been hearing tales around town that Hillary is having another thing with another
woman
.” I watched his face to see his reaction, and couldn’t believe it
when he burst out laughing. I was stunned! I asked him what was so funny. “Honey,” he said, “she’s probably eaten more pussy than I have.” Bill said he had known for a long time that Hillary was attracted to women, and it didn’t really bother him anymore. His first clue came from her lack of enjoyment of sex with him. He said she was very cold and not playful at all in bed. She didn’t like to experiment and insisted on the missionary position and nothing else. Because she wasn’t enjoying herself, neither was he. Sex with her became a duty; nothing more.
489
In a September 2013 interview with
Mail Online
, Flowers reiterated Bill’s confession. “I don’t know Huma or the Weiners,” Flowers said in reference to the scandal that involved former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma, who was rumored to have carried on a tryst with Hillary. “I just know what Bill told me and that was that he was aware that Hillary was bisexual and he didn’t care. He should know. He said Hillary had eaten more pussy than he had.”

Longtime GOP insider Jack Wheeler, a well-connected DC politico, was hearing from his Secret Service sources right out of the starting gate of the Clinton administration that Hillary was a promiscuous lesbian. Wheeler wrote in his
Strategic Investment
newsletter, dated February 10, 1993: “My sources indicate that Hillary Clinton is bisexual and fools around more than her husband. The stories you hear from the Secret Service, detailed to guard her, are mind boggling…. It is Hillary that is pushing the White House’s homosexual agenda.” Wheeler put these well-sourced revelations into print a mere twenty days into the Clinton administration.
Later that year, at the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian Gay and Bisexual Rights and Liberation rally, Nancy Pelosi read to the marchers a letter of support from President Clinton titled “Statement of the President on the Occasion of the 1993 March on Washington” for gay rights. Bill Clinton’s first order as president had been to allow gays to openly serve in the military.
At
one point in the proceedings a lesbian activist stood on the main stage—in front of thousands of gay rights activists on national television and joyfully said that Hillary was a fellow lesbian. “I’m going to tell you a secret,” the activist shouted. “Hillary Clinton has had a lesbian affair. At last we have a First Lady in the White House that we can fuck!”
491
Washington was buzzing about the revelation, and Hillary did not issue any denials from the White House.
Two former deep Clinton insiders say Hillary is a lesbian: Dick Morris and Larry Nichols. Dick Morris was a key advisor to the Clintons from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s when he helped Bill Clinton get back into the White House for a second term. Fox News contributor Morris who was in the “belly of the beast” of the Clinton machine has, for decades, touted that Hillary is a closeted lesbian.

David Martin, known as DC Dave on the Internet, lives in Washington, DC, and has been a close observer of the Clintons for decades. In his essay titled “Is Hillary Clinton a Lesbian?” he recounted the story of a DC veterinarian called to the White House to treat the Clintons’ cat Socks and then walking in on Hillary having sex with another woman, precisely the kind of sexual activity the Secret Service was telling Jack Wheeler about in early 1993. Martin explained how he initially heard the story:
The person who told me was a business contact of some years’ standing. I don’t know anything about his political leanings; we never discussed politics. His overall credibility was important, because he was engaged in selling my organization on a product that his organization has developed, with millions of dollars in the balance. He was leaving my office at the end of the day and introduced the subject in an offhand sort of way. His sister, he said, was a Washington-area veterinarian who has a friend who is another Washington-area veterinarian. That friend had told her that she had received a call from the White House requesting someone to come treat the Clintons’ sick cat. She sent a female assistant, who had difficulty locating the cat. In her search, she happened to open what
must have been Hillary’s bedroom door, and there in the bed were two women, one of whom she took to be Hillary. She told her boss about the incident, the boss told her friend, the friend told her brother, and the brother told me.
On May 3, 2004, the
Globe
published a piece about Eldie Acheson titled “Hillary’s Gay Roommate.” Eldie Acheson was very much that bawdy lesbian in college and she was extremely close to Hillary:
Since College, Hillary has become a champion of gay and lesbian rights, appearing at a gay Democrats rally in New York in 2000, where she gave lengthy speech.
According to the rumors, Hillary’s alleged lovers included a younger woman who often traveled with her, a popular TV and movie star, the daughter of a top government official and a stunning model who got a career boost after sleeping with Hillary.
A Washington insider says there were stories that Hillary used the presidential retreat at Camp David for romps with her gay friends during the Clinton White House years.
“A witness claimed he was making a night security round when he heard laughter and went to investigate,” says the insider. “He was shocked when he saw Hillary and a brunette woman frolicking in the pool and quickly walked away.”
“It’s political dynamite,” says a source. “It’s very, very powerful stuff.”
Despite the rumors, Eldie has been Hillary’s most trusted friend since both women were teenagers and Hillary was a clueless virgin, say the sources.
“Eldie is the person Hillary most trusts in the world,” says a source. “She taught Hillary about life when they were roommates.”
“They have as close a relationship as it’s possible to have. They finish each other’s sentences.”

When
Hillary came out (publicly) for gay marriage in 2013, American Family Association radio show host Sandy Rios said:
If you think that her support of lesbian and gay rights is something new, I’m sorry, she has repackaged herself so successfully but if you just do a little research on Hillary Clinton you know that her love of homosexuality goes back a very long way. I remember even when she was First Lady, that would be, not the beginning of her support for this, but this would be one of the more notable things, on the UN Convention on the Rights of Women, she oversaw the whole thing, the Beijing conference. It was shocking. This was a shocking thing. I think it was in ’94, I remember interviewing women that I knew who came back from the conference and I have mentioned this on the air before but I have to mention it again, under Hillary’s leadership there were even tents on lesbian lovemaking, they were making sure that people defined gender; there were five genders, not just two genders….
All I can tell you is that rumors abound and I guess since it doesn’t matter anymore then it doesn’t matter anymore, does it? So if you think this is like a seismic shift for Hillary Clinton I can guarantee you this is not a seismic shift. She has always, as far as I know back to college, endorsed and embraced all things lesbian and gay, that is her history on this so that shouldn’t be too shocking. She has played the role of wife and cookie-making mother, I’m sorry but this is just the reality of things. We are being caught in this vortex of homosexual advocacy, it’s just amazing.
