DRUDGE: Publisher Fight Over 'Hillary In The Raw'

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.

This guy has had some high profile jobs, but I can see that none of us ever heard of him.
The article says that he is an authority on the Kennedys. Maybe they are still hoping to take back the party from the clintons.

Yes,I believe they have just such a Kennedy family loyalist/hanger-on pretty much in mind....

Father: Bayh considering White House run Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Sen. Evan Bayh is giving “serious consideration” to running for president, according to his father, former Sen. Birch Bayh.
The younger Bayh has received considerable mention as a possible Democratic presidential hopeful in 2008, but his father’s words Friday appeared to be the strongest indication that a White House run may be planned.
“I think he’s giving that serious consideration,” Birch Bayh told about 200 people at Ivy Tech State College’s second annual O’Bannon Institute for Community Service.
The elder Bayh, who served as senator from Indiana from 1963 to 1981, sought the Democratic nomination himself in 1976, but lost to Jimmy Carter.
Bayh that his son is more serious and more conservative than he was.
“I thought I could speak to the young people who were concerned about Vietnam and the hard hats who were concerned about making a living,” he said.
The former senator was the featured speaker for the two day conference on student activism and leadership named for late Gov. Frank O’Bannon.
Bayh encouraged students and young people to put their abilities to use in politics and civic life.
“I think young people want to believe they can make a difference,” he said. “God help us if a generation of young people come along that don’t think they can make a difference.”

I've always wanted to know what happen to Vince Foster.

How about Judy Danielak?

From Freeper Alamo-Girl's Clinton Downside Legacy compilation:

Judy Danielak
The Associated Press 2/8/79 "…… Police now believe a 21-year-old United Press International reporter who was shot in the head while driving may have been hit by a stray bullet, capt, Dale Bruce of the North Little Rock police said Thursday. …….. Bruce said a bullet fragment removed from Mrs. Danielak's brain appeared to be lead, indicating it came from a pistol, not a rifle. He said the normal range of a handgun is "60-70 yards, less than 100 for sure." He said it was possible the bullet was fired from an access road that parallels the interstate, but nobody reported seeing a car on that road. Next to the access road is an open field. "It was dark and I wouldn't think somebody would be out there hunting at that time," Bruce said. "It's a very odd situation. We don't have anything to base anything on." ……. There had been reports that police were investigating the possibility that the shooting was linked to threatening mail she received after writing an article last October for her campus newspaper. In it she objected to efforts by black students to set up a separate publication and a separate beauty pageant. Mrs. Danielak is white. …..Earlier, police had said they thought the shooting was deliberate even though they had been unable to establish a motive. ….Mrs. Danielak, a journalism student at the University of Arkansas, was a temporary UPI employee assigned to the legislature. ……."
The Associated Press 2/9/79 "…….. North Little Rock police Sgt. Walter Miles said Wednesday there were no suspects in the case and no motive had been established. He said investigators assume Mrs. Danielak was shot when another car pulled alongside her vehicle. ….."
The Associated Press 2/9/79 "…… United Press International reporter Judy Danielak died at a Little Rock hospital Friday, three days after being shot in the head, a victim authorities believe of "somebody shooting at traffic." ……… "It's got to be an indiscriminate shooting," Little Rock police Sgt. Walter Miles said. "There was nobody waiting in ambush for her." ......,He said the shot was fired in her direction "but not at her personally. It looks like it was just a person - whether he was on drugs or just mean - shooting at traffic and the unlucky shot just hit her." …….. :
Washington Post 2/10/79 Harry King AP "… A t least seven random shootings have occured along central Arkansas highways since a young reporter was fatally wounded 10 days ago, and a police spokesman said Thursday the situation could be "getting out of hand." At least one rifle and pistols of varying sizes have been used on the shootings, lending support to the theory that more than one person is responsible. The confirmed shootings and dozens of unconfirmed ones have occured in the area since Judy Danielak, 21, a reporter for United Press International, was shot Feb. 6 while driving on Interstate 40 in North Little Rock. She died three days later. …….. "
Freeper archy to Alamo-Girl "...Ms. Danielak was driving in the North Little Rock area when she was shot in the head by a *sniper* and died of her injuries several days later. Her killer has never been caught, and there is no statute of limitations on the crime of murder in the state of Arkansas. Press reports at the time of her death stated that she had received hate mail regarding previous stories she'd written while a university student journalist in Little Rock. Following a statement by newly-seated Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, the police investigation shifted to consideration that she was a random target, though she had been struck directly in the head with a single shot from a large-caliber handgun similar to those used by the Arkansas State Police, an unusual choice of equipment for a *sniper*. Although later, possible *copycat* shootings occurred, in none of them was anyone killed and ballistic tests on recovered bullets showed that they came from weapons other than that used to kill Judy Danielak. The shooting took place several months after the reported rape of Juanita Broadderick in a Little Rock hotel room by Bill Clinton, at that time the Arkansas Attorney General. ...."
