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.

"The revelations in it should sink her candidacy"

Doubtful. First off, those who would vote for Hillary now will vote for her in '08. They don't care what is said. they see her as their salvation. Secondly, this book will be 3 years old, and forgotten or considered and old outdated book by then.

"Last week, Clinton stalwart Ann Lewis fired off an email to supporters warning of the 'Swift Boat' tactics . . ."

I laughed when I read this. So A.L. is warning us that we are about to be exposed to the truth. OOOOOooooooo. . . That's really scary -- to a lib.

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

I had the same thought. And if I was associated with this book, the author, or anything to with the book and was on a talking head show where some lib putz bleated that out -- I would use the things you listed as my response. I would embrace the swift boat "slam" and turn it right bact on them.

They thought it got ugly against Kerry, wait till she officially runs for the White House. There is so much dirt on her and her hubby it is only a matter of where to begin the dismantling of her campaign. The Demoncrats will find out the awful truth in 2008, they didn't learn their lesson. The new media (including us) will rip her to shreds and expose every lie and propaganda effort conducted by the joint effort of the DNC and the old media, mark my words.

Of course they fight over it. Conservatives buy and read books. Libs just get emotional.

I think that's an actual pic.....ANY type of photoshopping could never help this woman!

Whatever happened to MiaT ... seems she would have something to say on this subject ... I see Mia has not posted since 1/09, however. Any word?
