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.

Hmmmm?

We know the players: the Clinton cabal and the Kerry/Kennedy/Dean cabal - looks like the Kennedy cabal has scored a coop against the Clinton cabal.

"Ed Klein, ... author of multiple works on the Kennedys."

What's published right now should have been enough to sink her and her husband. I'm not at all optimistic.

Bill won't tap Hildabeast and hasn't in several years ... and he'll tap anything ... what does that say?

To quote Henny Youngman: "Take my wife.....please...."

I saw her in the raw ~ naked and puking under my apartment door.

It was hideous even 30+ years ago.

i think edward's latest book was on the kennedys.

it was basically a summary of the recent kennedy literature.

Exactly. 2008 is a looong time from now---I fear this may be an innoculation that will blow up in our faces if we're not careful.

Bingo. That is precisely what I was trying to say, but you said it FAR better than I did.

Too early in the election cycle for this book to do major damage.

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.

"I hope we dont find out any more about Billy's leaning tower of pizza."

LOL! Okay, now that all the FR males are disgusted by the thought of Hillary in the raw, I (as a female) am now thoroughly nauseated as well. ;)

Blech!!! Yuck! Ick!!

Why? No self-absorbed media would be caught dead talking about the book - she'll be protected like the rest of the disgusting democrats.

"billed as "Hillary in the Raw", like you've never seen her before'

I don't believe it. It'll be a puff-piece.

I remember the media saying Billy boy lost it during his grand jury testimony and how he stormed out in a huff- airing the video of it would end his presidency! Might have even first heard that on Matt's site...

Every time I hear this "for the common good" crap, I
immediately think of "From each according to his ability,
to each according to his need." That, of course, is
Karl Marx's expression of the Communist credo.
