Sally Bedell Smith uses a quote today in the Wall Street Journal that I’ve never heard before (my emphasis):
For many years, one of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s closest friends, TV producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, has been fond of saying that when the Clintons “are dead and gone, each of them is going to be buried next to a president of the United States.”
It is an idea that the Clintons began talking about decades ago. Back in 1974, Bill Clinton told his friend Diane Kincaid that Hillary “could be president someday.” During his own presidential campaign in 1992, he said in an interview, “Eight years of Hillary Clinton? Why not?”
Does anyone have the sourcing on this? It appears to be from her book on the Clintons, but I can’t find the quote anywhere in Nexis.
Update 12/12 8:37 AM: See the Media Matters takedown of the book. There are very good reasons to be skeptical of Smith’s claims.
