(Hillary Rodham Clinton is a United States senator and the wife of former U.S. president Bill Clinton.)
When asked about this article, Senator Clinton observed, "That was an interesting article because, of course, poor old Marie Antoinette lost her head… and some of the reason[s] are that she was accused of things she never did or never said."
