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.

what this super- bitch tries to do:
Sneering Arrogance Section
"Let them eat cake"
"The ['Hillary Care'] plan prescribed some eye popping maximum fines: $5,000 for refusing to join the government mandated health plan; $5,000 for failing to pay premiums on time; 15 years in prison for doctors who received ‘anything of value’ in exchange for helping patients short circuit bureaucracy; $10,000 a day for faulty physician paperwork; and $50,000 for unauthorized patient treatment.  When told the plan could bankrupt small businesses, Mrs. Clinton said, 'I can’t be responsible for every under-capitalized small business in America'." -- Tony Snow reporting on Hillary's health care plan, to which Zoh Hieronimus added, "Perhaps Hillary’s legacy will be that she made fascism seem lady-like." HERE

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing 
hrough our papers. We are the president!"  -- Hillary Clinton

Well anyway, everybody knows she screams at inferiors.
--

"Our liberties face a far greater threat from Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party than from Saddam Hussein and
Osama bin Laden.  I am not saying that for impact; 
I believe that to the core of my being." -- Neal Boortz
(Note: any similarity to 
Dolores Umbridge 
is purely intentional)
"We need to stop 
worrying about the 
rights of the
individual and start
worrying about 
what is best for 
society!" 
-- Hillary Clinton
--
"...we understand 
only the 
individual's 
capacity to 
make sacrifices
for the community, 
for his fellow men." 
-- Adolf Hitler
--
"The higher interests
involved in the life 
of the whole must 
here set the limits
and lay down the
duties of the 
interests of the 
individual."
-- Adolph Hitler
"There are enough fools in Washington to destroy the country without any help from Muslim terrorists." -- Paul Craig Roberts
Yeah, I said fascists. It’s about damned time that someone start calling 
the Democrats what they are -- economic fascists. Do your homework 
on that definition and you’ll understand." -- Neal Boortz, HERE"
That certain people can even consider enslaving doctors to any degree without meeting any objection whatsoever only underscores the incredible depths to which the moral depravity of many American institutions, public, academic and journalistic, have sunk. Slavery is horrible enough, but putting our best, most highly-skilled, educated and thoughtful professionals at the mercy of the worst, most ethically-challenged professionals such as politicians, bureaucrats and lawyers is worse than nauseating.
See: "Putting doctors in jail for practicing medicine under arbitrary rules and paying old people to put doctors in jail is a moral outrage." HERE
"If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free." -- P. J. O'Rourke, HERE
"Cheap medical care is one of the most expensive things there is.  So long as politicians can create the illusion of something for nothing, that gets them votes, which is what it is all about, as far as they are concerned." -- Dr. Thomas Sowell, HERE
>> See exactly who made health care expensive HERE. <<

Nothing in some book could make any difference to Hillary supporters. She could be an Al-Quaida member and they'd still worship her.

"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. "

That was JOE KLEIN who wrote PRIMARY COLORS. This is ED KLEIN.

This isn't going to sink Hillary--it's intended to give her time to immunize herself in the national arena.

BING-GO.

You have a point, but that fits with such announcements as McCain's VD. (I count him out because of his melanoma. I also think Lady Macbeth's health will increasingly be a factor.)

Enough material about Hillary will stick and not be forgotten. I saw the teaser on Drudge, went back a little later for the facts, then to FR for lively comments and pictures. In a very short time FR had 113 comments. I mention that to prove that the anti-Hillary vote will continue to be very active. Add conservative blogs to the mix and it is all over.

I knew the Clintons were bad news before he was ever elected. That was based on intuition. Too much was already coming out about him even though he had a lot of power in the state. When that much corruption oozes out of a small state, in spite of spin, there must be a lot more around. I told a friend, "There will be bookstores devoted to Clinton corruption by the time he is done." I was right about that one, too.

It is so funny that you made the comment about the dems sticking together and the pubbies breaking ranks---

One of the funniest moments today on Fox Morning Show with Chris Wallace, was when he was interviewing John Cornyn and Chucky Schumer---Wallace asked Schumer why it would be such a "bad thing" for all of Bush's nominees to actually get a vote from all of the Senators---

Schumer said something like--It would be fine except that the Republican ALWAYS stick together and vote in lock step!

What a crock of crap--has this guy never seen the votes of Lincoln Chafee, McCain, Snowe, Collins, Hagl, even Lugar!!!

THAT is what is so astounding about these dems, they can say stuff like that on national TV and get away with it!!!

THAT is also why you could have a book that has fact so back up that Hillary was into bestiality and it wouldn't matter---nothing said or done is off limits to these guys!

One of the best books ever on Hillary that will stand the test of time is HELL to PAY by the late, great BARBARA OLSON "BKO" on FR.

Notice it's going to be released in Sept, just in time for an out from her next Senate run. In case people haven't noticed, libs aren't as happy with her as everyone thought they'd be. Many Hill voters have been on other boards crying after their cold realization that she only wanted the Senate seat for her own ends, and cared nothing about New York. We all told them but they had to find out the hard way. this was before she started her current centrist act, also making them mad.

how they keep a straight face!

Yep, that says it all. She's a communist.
I remember when I saw that on TV. I could not believe she would push the Stalin line that hard.

This is going to help Hillary. Every scandal will be thrown at her, and she will be innoculated by 2008.

I don't believe this hype for a minute. No one from Vanity Fair is going to write a hit piece on Hillary. Remember all the hype about Bill's deposition and how he lost his temper? It was all lies, and so is this, lies to sell books that make Hillary look like a victim. Bet on it!

Well, "Swifty Tactics" are EXACTLY what we should be doing leading up to 2008. What are "Swifty Tactics"?

1.) Speaking the Truth

2.) Backing it up with Documentation

3.) Using un-impeachable sources.

4.) Harness the power of the average American who really cares.

5.) Use grass-roots support to make our voices heard over the din of the MSM

6.) Be polite.

7.) Be reasonable

8.) Don't take the bait

9.) Don't get hysterical

10.) Don't get discouraged

We, as Americans, owe the Swift Boat Vets and POW's who spoke out, a debt. In my opinion, they singlehandely kept Kerry out of the White House. Try as they might, the Left could not effectively attack them. People understand the ring of truth. What these men said about Kerry was the truth, and people who took the time to watch and listen understood that.

We need to do the same thing with Clinton. We do not have to make anything up. There is more than enough truth to hang her on her own petard. We should use the Swift Boat Vets example to do this.

Well this is news to the MSM as well as quinnipiac, zogby and other pollsters who claim her popularity in NY is at an all time high. Heavens, they have us believing even pubbies are going to vote to re-elect her.
