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

**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.

I used to think that the only thing that would deter people from supporting her was a confession of lesbianism. Now, in the post-Mary Cheney world, I think that she could manipulate that into some sort of martyrdom and use it advantageously with the voting public. "I was really a lesbian all along, but I sacrificed who I really was and my personal happiness for the sake of my family and America's greatest gift to the world, Bill Clinton. Marriage to him was the greatest patriotic sacrifice any woman-loving-woman could make and I made that sacrifice for you." She will then follow it up by appearing in a white prom dress and sing "Don't Cry for Me Americana."

Remember that Ann Lewis is Barney Frank's sister. Nothing is deviant to her...except maybe if Hillary declined her advances.

Thanks... I'll go and get my other/spare keyboard.

This is a different Klein.

This one is a Jackie O biographer.

This is all pre-contract posturing by a savvy literary agent looking for a massive advance. I don't believe for a second that this will sink Shrillary's candidacy--in fact, she'll probably come out looking good by the time the finished book is released, considering who the author is.

Freepers be on guard!

The article says that he is an authority on the Kennedys. Maybe they are still hoping to take back the party from the clintons.

"Klein's new book will not portray Hillary in the most flattering light: "He doesn't care for the Clintons, and he is digging up some new dirt on them," said one insider. Readers should expect chapters on Hillary's disgraced Rose Law Firm partner Web Hubbell, the Vince Foster suicide, and her mysterious association with sitcom savant Susan Thomases. Klein's book will be published next fall by Sentinel, an imprint of the Penguin Group."

And let's hope there's a chapter on that elusive Hillary thesis from Weseley.

Then you should wait for the sequel book "101 recipes for cooking Hillary". It would not be appetizing, I tell you.

Thank you. Yes, I am an astute campaign watcher.

The best thing we can do is argue the issues, not the person. I believe the stories about Hillary. They are told in person by people who worked with her and for her. However, any story against her as an evil person is already dismissed by her supporters as part of the "Hate the Clintons" saga.

The vets dealt with the facts which argued against Kerry's alleged heroism. Kerry shot himself in the foot by being such a windbag about Viet Nam. I think that was a symptom of marrying for money - twice. He always has to pretend.

I find the photos or PhotoShops of Hillary amusing, but they only convince the convinced. Attacks on her daughter will only lose support for conservatives. (Lincoln was pretty homely, too.)

I show students various blogs whenever I teach them about Internet research. Pointing people to great sites like Free Republic and PowerLine will help them become informed.

Reagan proved that people will vote according to the issues. He rose above the personal attacks. America is essentially conservative. We need to work together to get the judiciary doing its job. Some youngsters may forget that Reagan's legacy included replacing half the federal judges during his eight years. That slowed down America's decline by quite a bit. Clinton reversed that. Politicians come and go. Judges last forever.

I don't know a thing about Klein either, but Hillary is a Pol Pot wanna be. It is an amazing show to see her try to do a middle of the road shtick. God, the pact that Hillary and slick William must have made...to be a fly on the wall.

Well I'm a paramedic, but Oregon is a little too far for me.

Take an aspirin, uh, no, we're talking about Hillary here....I got it...Drink a bottle of gin and then gouge your eyes out.

I think it's the only way. :-)

So do you think that actually is her or is it photoshopped?

That is very disgusting.

Do they make such dresses wide enough in the hips and thighs for Evita Gordita?
