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.
Developing...
Are you saying you were friends with them a long time ago?
I am having trouble parsing your sentence. Seeing her under your apartment door? Puking under your door? Help us out a little.
I kind of wonder the same thing.
It will have a ton of nice stuff about her...and tiny bit of negative stuff.
And the media will play up only the good stuff(the b.s.).
Drudge has been played.
They knew he would run with this. It gives the media a chance to say..."hey...even a book that is against her shows good stuff about her"
Drudge has been played.
I don't see how this book will expose anything more than Dick Morris has exposed about the Clintons.
I hope it does.....but I just have my doubts.
Now that this has been on Drudge, someone somewhere will publish it, if he has to put it on the internet and sell it as an e-book.
BTW, I have noticed that one of the oft repeated stories today on Fox News is the fact that Homeland Security has found that the District of Columbia has tons of money left in its Homeland Security account that hasn't been spent--
My first thought was that only a politician would think that this is a BAD thing, to have funds that haven't been wasted--
BUT, I have watched a lot of speeches on the House floor, and even though there isn't a Senator from the D.C., on the Senate floor about how "WE" haven't funded Homeland Security enough, blah, blah, blah.... I think I even read where the City council or somesuch was wanting to vote George Bush OUT as "opening day" ceremonial ball thrower at the new ballpark, BECAUSE he had neglected Washington D.C. in his budget---
Holy Cow, that column is usually very fair to republicans,and today he came out with a shocker about the reason that the Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah is demanding Syria get out of Lebanon. It is because they believe that Syria assassinated Rafik Hariri,and intelligence sources say that Hariri who had dual Saudi/Lebanese citizenship was reported to be the illegitimate son. Blew me away. This guy is for real.
You are absolutely correct in your post. The vets did the job. The attacks on Bush were so organized that they really considered him beaten. The vets turned the tide and the bloggers helped a lot.
Kerry voters mostly drink the Hillary Kool-aid. Atheists love her. I am sure some powerful Democrats would love to see her gone for good. Bill may only have a short time to live. Hillary would probably love to lose his baggage but I think she will lose his aura of love and prosperity too. (No, I don't credit him with anything like love or knowledge of his job, but some do in spite of the evidence.)
Edward Klein should not be suprised if his life insurance company cancells his policy.
It was a horrid experience. Don't wish to think about it.
What was that Arnold said in the Terminator when the beast took off his mask?
Ah, they hate it when the truth about their past comes out.
Things were so much better when the MSM helped the democrat hacks re-write history on the fly.
I think this is good because it tells me two things. There are a lot of dems that do not want Hillary running in 2008 after the 2004 disaster. Another thing is that there will be a helluva fight between the Hillarites and the anti Hillary dems. This could be something to sell tickets to see when it starts to get good. Remember what just happened to the Governor of Tennessee that spouted off. Next time they will do it under the covers shall we say.
I'm borrowing this neighbor. Hope you don't mind . . . . and BTW I need a cup of sugar too . . . . 8^)
I agree 100%. This is pre-emptive damage control - it's being published by Penguin fer cryin' out loud.
I've always wanted to know what happen to Vince Foster.
I bet you that if anything happens to Ed Klein, a lot of information about Hitlery's past activities in Arkansas will be made public, including the details regarding the murder of Little Rock UPI Statehouse Bureau Chief Judy Danielak a few months after the Juanita Broaddrick rape, just after former AR Attorney General Bill Clinton took office as governor.
And, of course, there is no Statute of Limitations affecting the crime of Capital Murder in Arkansas.
It does sound like the new Hillary! book will be similar to what the Swift Boat Veterans did to Kerry. They beat Kerry into the mud with the truth. Now it is time to beat Hillary! into the mud with the truth. Yes, Ann, it IS the same process, and it will work the same way for the same reason.

Latest column, "Billybob's Speech for FR's March for Justice II"
If I recall correctly .. back when Hellary ran for the Senate .. the NYT did a hit piece on her .. and then every article afterwards was slanted toward her
