The village that helped Hillary Clinton move past Bill’s infidelity

The Washington Post reports:

We know that Hillary Clinton believes it takes a village to raise a child. As my colleague Carlos Lozada has pointed out, 20 years since “It Takes a Village” was published in 1996, the presidential candidate still draws on that village philosophy on the campaign trail. While revisiting Clinton’s 2004 memoir “Living History” recently, I noticed that she also relied on a village of friends and political and spiritual leaders to move past her husband’s infidelity in the 1990s. Her persona as a pragmatist extends not only on health care and the economy, it seems, but also her personal relationships.

And what a village it was!

First, her close confidantes Diane Blair (a friend of the Clintons since the 1970s) and Betsy Ebeling (a childhood friend) came to visit the White House. “It made me feel better to have friends around who had known me forever,” Clinton writes of their visit in September 1998, “who had seen me pregnant and sick and happy and sad and could understand what I was going through now.”

It's so Washington Post to let us know that Hillary is so amazing against all odds.
