DRUDGE: Publisher Fight Over 'Hillary In The Raw'
Drudge Report ^ | SUN APRIL 10, 2005 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 04/10/2005 5:32:04 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

**Exclusive**

A book battle has broken out on Publisher's Row over the ultimate Hillary-attack!

The project being billed as "Hillary in the Raw", like you've never seen her before, is set to drop in September by liberal Ed Klein, former NYT MAGAZINE editor, VANITY FAIR, PARADE contributor and author of multiple works on the Kennedys.

"The revelations in it should sink her candidacy," a source close to Klein warns the DRUDGE REPORT.

Last week, Clinton stalwart Ann Lewis fired off an email to supporters warning of the 'Swift Boat' tactics coming against the former first lady turned senator.

Now the coming sales pitch for ' THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She’ll Go to Become President' reads: 'Just as the swift boat veterans convinced millions of voters that John Kerry lacked the character to be president, Klein’s book will influence everyone who is sizing up the character of Hillary Clinton...

'Despite more than a dozen years in the national spotlight and more than a dozen unauthorized books about her, she has managed to keep many secrets from the public -- especially about her turbulent marriage and its impact on her career. There have been plenty of rumors about what Hillary and Bill Clinton did behind closed doors, but never a definitive book that exposes the truth. Bestselling author Edward Klein draws on rare access to inside sources to reveal what Hillary knew and when she knew it during her years as first lady. Klein’s book, embargoed until publication, will break news about the choices and calculations she has made over the years.'

A fight has developed over the book inside the giant publishing house PENGUIN, sources tell DRUDGE.

A publishing source attending the PENGUIN sales conference last week in Connecticut describes high emotions surrounding the coming publication of 'THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY.'

There has been a bitter and hostile reaction to the book among top PENGUIN editors -- editors who last year published John Kerry's official campaign book.

One top Hillary source claims the book is nothing more than "sex and trash" from a desperate author.

Considering that the publishing industry is dominated by women and homosexuals, it should come as no surprise that some at the publisher are opposed to the book.

Seeing the words "Hillary in the Raw" and thinking about the possible connotations those words mean....

...and I just about curled up in the fetal position and said "Make it go away!"

Oh my...could it be Sunday night? With a Drudge exclusive? :)

I plead ignorance to knowing anything about Ed Klein...if he has a muckraker reputation like Kitty-what's-her-name then it won't do us a bit of good.

Oh, PLEASE.

It's promo for a liberal book. Obviously, this is meant to spice up sales, then when it comes out, it'll be a bunch of complete b.s. This isn't going to sink Hillary--it's intended to give her time to immunize herself in the national arena.

There is no way this will be anything but a positive. Hell, it's 2005. She could be caught nekkid with a donkey and spin it away in time for 2008.

Trash says it all, in my opinion. Or, if you prefer white trash. I was so shocked by the first book about her that I read five more. As I said trash.

By 2008, SCOTUS will find a constitutional right for that donkey to be a third party to the Clinton 'marriage.'

"Last week, Clinton stalwart Ann Lewis fired off an email to supporters warning of the 'Swift Boat' tactics coming against the former first lady turned senator."

I imagine it looked something like this:

"We must alway be on guard against these unwarranted attacks that use underhanded tactics such as telling the truth, and backing your claims with factual evidence. If people start believing them, our goose is cooked!"

It'd be fun to see the crusty ol' broad sink beneath the ooze.

Klein glorified the perversion of the Clintopig candidacy in Primary Colors: the very disturbing story that as the perversion of the pervert became more apparent, so did his popularity and his power. This screed is another scum work to glorify perversion, promote clintopig filth, and galavanize the lovers of clinton perversions into a solid commitment to promote PIAPS for President. Klein makes a few more millions (like the last time), and clintopig Hillary gets glorified since she too is wrapped up in perverted activities that seems to just thrill the leftists in the county.

Okay, this post just begs for someone to post the gif of Hillary dancing on the beach with Bill, shaking her thighs.;)

If I had it, I would do it.

OK, if this thing comes up on Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble, let's make this the prepublication WORLD RECORD advance order/pre-sales. Once orders are taken (if this book doesn't get the Arkancide treatment) it will really make it tough to cancel the deal...

And if they do, the number of ORDERS refunded will help convince another publisher to take it....

Like Alfred Regnery...
