Washington: A previously unpublished cache of papers has revealed that Hillary Clinton viewed Monica Lewinsky, the intern with whom her husband had an affair while president, as a "narcissistic loony toon".
The papers are part of the notes and archives of the political science professor Diane Blair, a close friend of Mrs Clinton's, that have been held by the University of Arkansas since Professor Blair's death in 2000.
Though open to the public since 2010 they have become the focus of media attention since being accessed and reported upon by the conservative websiteThe Washington Free Beacon, which published stories about them on Sunday night in the United States.

According to its analysis the documents - which includecorrespondence, diaries, interviews, strategy memos and contemporaneous accounts of conversations with the Clintons from the mid-1970s - paint "a portrait of a ruthless First Lady" who was a "loyal friend, devoted mother, and a cut-throat strategist who relished revenge against her adversaries".

Mrs Clinton is favoured to become the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and Republican foes have already begun their political opposition to such a run.
The Washington Free Beaconquotes a research paper from the archive written by senior Clinton aides in 1992 as warning that "what voters find slick in Bill Clinton, they find ruthless in Hillary".
The archive also shows that Mrs Clinton supported a government-funded health care system, a position that apparently contradicts her public position since.

Hillary Clinton called Monica Lewinsky a 'narcissistic loony toon'
That's advice the former first lady and secretary of State offered this week to women aspiring to high-profile positions, borrowing from Eleanor Roosevelt. It's a hide that didn't come naturally to Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton said Thursday that women who want to get ahead in politics or other high-profile jobs should grow skin like a rhinoceros.

This is a bit of wisdom the former secretary of State may have learned the hard way. Well get to that in a moment.
But first, the background: Mrs. Clinton was speaking at an event for the No Ceilings project, a joint initiative of the Clinton Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that aims to empower women in the 21stcentury.
No Ceilings is launching a review of global data to see how far women have progressed in education, income, political participation, and other measures since the mid-1990s, Clinton said. It picked that parameter because Clinton had addressed a big UN World Conference on Women in 1995, when she was first lady.
Flanked by her daughter, Chelsea, and Melinda Gates onstage at New York University, Clinton gave no hint of her future political plans. But she did give interesting counsel to other women who might want to follow in her footsteps.
One of the best pieces of advice that I have ever heard from anyone is from Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1920s, who said that women in politics or in public roles should grow skin like a rhinoceros, Clinton said. I think there is some truth to that.
Thats true, of course. But its not just true for women. Men in politics have to be able to withstand the slings and arrows of rhetorical abuse, as well. Remember how Texas Gov. Ann Richards mocked George H.W. Bush in 1988? He was born with a silver foot in his mouth, she told the Democratic National Convention that year, to riotous applause.
