I wasn't sure where to stick this!
A recent interview with The American Enterprise

TAE: Hillary Clinton has just sold hundreds of thousands of copies of her book Living History. What do you think of her success as an author?
MILLER: She’s boring to me. And as for this “Draft Hillary” movement—I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. She doesn’t make a move without consulting her old man, and as soon as she mentions the word “draft” to him, he’s going to say, “Stay away from it.”
TAE: How would Americans respond to Senator Clinton as a Presidential candidate?
MILLER: Forty percent of voters would probably support her. I’d like to think there’s 60 percent who wouldn’t. Most people know that the Clintons are just career politicians, but it’s amazing to me that some people really believe in them. Bill and Hillary’s marriage couldn’t have been any more about convenience than if they’d installed a Slim Jim rack and Slurpee machine at the base of their bed.
TAE: Do you dislike Senator Clinton’s political ideology, too?
MILLER: I have an across-the-board disapproval of her. In 1998, when Bill was first accused of having an affair with Monica Lewinsky, Hillary went on NBC’s “Today” show and attributed the allegations to a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” That seemed extremely stupid to me. Name the people. She can spend 30 years of her life apologizing for her husband’s indiscretions if she wants to, but at the same time she shouldn’t champion herself as the ideal woman. In 1992, Hillary told the press, “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas.” That statement really bugged me. She’s in essence as “cookie” as one can get because of the kind of treatment she’s accepted from her husband. I think most women would have said, “Quit screwing around on me or I’m out of here.”
TAE: What do you think of the Clintons reinventing themselves as New Yorkers?
MILLER: I view Hillary as an inverted carpetbagger. I’m convinced that Bill Clinton put her up there because he knew New York was a community property state, vis-à-vis divorce settlements.
