I had heard that Brock was once a republican??

I read an interview with him, and he said he was very much a liberal in college until he wrote an article (don't know the subject) and his liberal school paper refused to print it, so he "became a conservative." Shoddy way to become a conservative, but. . . .

He became briefly popular amongst conservatives for his Anita Hill expose and an extensive article in the National Review about Clinton and the Arkansas State Police. In a way, the latter article fueled much of what happened to Clinton. I think it was what caused Paula Jones to go public.

Anyway, he then started working on a Hillary book, and it was shortly after that that he reverted to his liberal ways. I'm not entirely clear on this part of it, but I believe his book turned out to be fairly favorable for Hillary, and thus was not well-received by the right. This angered him, and he jumped ship. I think that's his version. There is speculation--founded or unfounded, I know not--that he fell in love with one of Hillary's staffers, and was encouraged to go left by his new boyfriend.

That's what I remember about it. Hopefully, someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I do not know if it needs any correcting. I do recall who is now, and recall the ties you mentioned. He appears to hang on to who ever can give him the good press.

Now, he thinks he is important. A figment of his own imaginaton I suppose.

I think your summary is about right. Brock basically took the money for the Hillary book under false pretenses; the publisher thought he'd be writing a book similar to the Anita Hill one, not a Hillary puff piece.
