Dina Matos McGreevey and Hilary Rodham Clinton have at least one thing in common: both married and had a daughter with powerful politicians who cheated on them causing them unimaginable public humiliation. But the similarities pretty much end there since Clinton is a brilliant senator who could be the first female U.S. president and Matos McGreevey seems like kind of an idiot.
aaaaaaadina.jpgBut she's kind of an idiot with a book to sell so she sat down with Newsweek to discuss "Silent Partner" and talked about how she reached out to Sen. Clinton in the days after her hubby announced himself as a "gay American" and she looked on with a bizarre smile on her face.
She said Clinton was gracious in returning a call Matos had made to her office: "She said, “First of all you have to think of yourself and your daughter.” That was the best advice I got. Knowing she survived, I can survive also. ... Her advice was, get your own counsel, don’t rely on his advisers. She said, “No one else is going to take care of you. You’ve got to take care of yourself. She said you and your daughter are the most important.”

"...When you are married to someone powerful, whether it’s a politician or a CEO or a celebrity, there are always rumors and innuendo, If you chase those, you are not going to do anything else. Don’t forget, while all this was going on, I was working full time, I had a baby. I had my responsibilities as First Lady; I had a mansion to renovate."
Well then, no wonder she was so clueless!
