I think there are plenty to ask, but here’s one that’s of recent vintage. “During your blowout book tour you spoke many times about your “zone of privacy” and how terrible it was to have that invaded by the prying eyes of the state and the media. You also indicated that you wish to be taken as your own woman, a dedicated and serious politician. And yet, when the Washington Post tried to interview you about the “political aspects” of your book you refused to be interviewed, indicating that you’d be willing to discuss the other, more salacious, aspects of your book. Why is that? If you don’t want to be seen as a female victim or an extension of your husband, why would the leader of the policy committee of the Senate Democrats, the Senator who replaced Patrick Moynihan of all people, and a feminist hero be so reluctant to talk about the substance of her book with the political paper of record but still willing to discuss her martyr role and the invasions of her “zone of privacy”?
