It reads like the writer did the Joe Klien piece for the sole purpose of teeing up a swipe at Trump.

Amazing how many libs are turning on the Clintons now that they’re out of power.

Klein has always been a dirtbag democrat propagandist.

Looks like the Dems are letting the Clintons know that it’s time to go.

>>“I must confess to having been a Clinton enabler during that time,” Klein told guest host Jane Clayson. “In that I defended him, and we all knew that he was a cad. There’s no question about that. But it was the beginning of a period of real viciousness in American politics.”

Vicious because the sitting president lied under oath, weaponized the IRS, had the first lady threaten, intimidate, and slutshame his victims, on and on from the Red Diaper Doper Baby Boomer co-presidents one of whom studied under and may even have had an affair with Saul Alinsky.

But keep making excuses, Joe Cad.

Klein admits he knew Clinton was a “cad” but “...it was the beginning of a period of real viciousness in American politics.”

What a pathetic justification of cowardice and perfidy. Klein covered up for Bill because he cared more for a democrat being in office than for women being raped. It’s as simple as that. “Viciousness” meant accusing poor innocent Bill and coverup Queen Hillary of the misconduct Klein now admits he knew about the whole time.

And now we see why the Bushes were so cozy with Bill — gropers of a feather molest together.

Bogus story misquotes Trump’s kitty grab yarn. Typical MSM horsefeathers.

Ah those halcyon days, when the libs all decried “the politics of personal destruction” - while engaging in it for all they were worth.

Oh, I agree. The Dems were fools not to rid themselves of the Clintons when Hillary lost the nomination to Zero in 2008.

I was hoping a similar insider book would have been written about Barry’s campaign called, “Primarily Colored”.

I'll take, "What's Black and White and Red All Over," for $500, Alex.

I just love this, all those Liberals who were big Clinton supporters now having buyers remorse and now distancing themselves from The Clinton’s. Who would have thought this would happen???????????

The viciousness occurred because the Media went full in on Bill Clinton. They may have been Dem oriented in the past but they didn’t fully protect LBJ or Carter. However, the further it went, they were not going to allow Clinton to lose. And one reason is because they are committing the same acts.

We will go through this again when it finally comes out Obama is not a citizen. Oh, we should have looked deeper or some other bilge.

All I can say is MAGA, go Trump, and go Bannon.

One would think the novel portrayal was how Klein really saw him.

You will recall another character in Primary Colors with a serious drug history. It's been many years since I read the book, but iirc, the character is somewhat extraneous and the drug stuff is forced. I've always suspected Klein was using the character to signal on Clinton's drug use -- i.e., there were actually two Clinton surrogates in the book.

“we all knew that he was a cad”
“Perhaps it’s just me, but that phrasing seems to smack of: “Oh, that Bill! He’s just a lovable rogue!””

I agree with you, and it’s ridiculous. I don’t want to hear from these people. If Hillary had won, their consciences would have not bothered them and you wouldn’t have heard anything from them about Bill. This is CYA hypocrisy.
