The re-telling of Tammy Wynette’s years could be the occasion for recompense on Hillary Clinton’s part
The First Lady of Country Music Tammy Wynette is back in the cultural spotlight 24 years after her death, thanks to a new Showtime series about her tumultuous marriage with George Jones, himself a country music king.
It’s an occasion both to appreciate the emotional depth of the vocal stylings of both Wynette and Jones but also to revisit a famous insult leveled at Wynette by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hillary still owes Tammy an apology.
It goes back to the 1992 presidential campaign. As she sought to counter the damage that revelations about an extramarital affair (with Gennifer Flowers) was doing to Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, she contrasted herself with Tammy Wynette. It’s been called the interview that has haunted Clinton and hurt her ever since.
Hildabeast just wishes she was half the woman Tammy was.
