Nursing home administrator Juanita Broaddrick waited 21 years to accuse Bill Clinton of rape. Her reason for not doing so sooner, she said, was that she did not think anyone would believe her over the word of Clinton, at that time a candidate for Governor of Arkansas.
At the time of the alleged rape, 1978, she was working as a volunteer in Clinton's campaign. She maintains that Clinton phoned her in her hotel room, asked to meet in that room rather than downstairs-- to avoid reporters, and once inside the room, forced himself on her.
She also claims that Clinton later tried to apologize to her, but that she told him to go to hell. She came forward with these charges after Clinton's celebrated Monica Lewinsky affair.
Along with Lewinsky, Broaddrick was hardly alone in the string of women who have complained about Bill Clinton's womanizing ways. Others include Elizabeth Ward Gracen, a former Miss America;Kathleen Willey; Paula Jones; Dolly Kyle Browning; Jennifer Flowers; Sally Perdue; Christy Zercher; Eileen Wellstone; and Sandra Allen James.
If all or most of their charges are true, then Bill Clinton has been one busy boy, and Hillary has had to overlook a great deal to maintain her own political aspirations.
