NEW CLINTON BOOK: THE LIES, THE FIGHTS, THE INSULTS
**Exclusive**
Summer starts with a bang as veteran WASHINGTON POST reporter John Harris traces the emotional highs and lows of the Clinton presidency.
THE SURVIVOR: BILL CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE drops this week from RANDOM [the book ranked #9,527 on AMAZON's sales parade Monday afternoon], but the DRUDGE REPORT can now sneak:
--Bill Clinton was so upset that his weight-loss regimen in 2000 was not working that he made his aides release a bogus number after his annual Navy physical to make him five pounds lighter. (pg. 394)
--Hillary taunted her husband's aides as being wimps by not fighting hard enough on Whitewater - "JFK had real men in his White House!" (pg. 108)
--Tipper Gore was so disgusted in 2000 with Bill and Hillary that she stayed cloistered in a holding room instead of going to a New York reception with major Democratic fund-raisers where the Clintons would be. "No, I'm not doing it," she snapped to an aide. "I'm not going out there with that man."
--The first conversation between Clinton and Gore after the Lewinsky story broke. Clinton is shouting at Gore, "This is a [expletive deleted] coup d'etat!" Gore just stared back blankly. pg 313.
--Former White House counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke on the record hitting Clinton for not having the guts to fire FBI director Louis Freeh, who Clarke called a major obstacle on anti-terrorism policy. "He should have just fired Freeh and taken the [expletive deleted] it would have caused." (pg. 408)
The POST plans two jumbos on Tuesday, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
One story from Harris will outline Hillary Clinton's presidential preparations.
I dont believe it
He writes for the Washington Post. Therefore, another shill, for the Clintoons. At least they had the honesty to say so on the front cover.
Washington comPost? C'mon.
Through two terms in office and a host of scandals, Harris notes that Clinton has managed to survive with high regard among the public because of his "authentically populist spirit" and a genuine connection to the American people. Readers of whatever political posture should enjoy this absorbing look at a compelling political figure.
Snort.
Ancient history...
Wasnt it his "genuine connection" to similar baby-boomer liberals in the MSM that saved Clinton's butt time and again???
Clinton survived yet 3,000 did not survive on 9/11 due to 8 years of a Clinton presidency.
Come on Mew....you don't feel the love coming from this book....he just wants to be the best worst ex-US president.
I think not.
Just another, "Pleze hep me shine my poor legacy," put-up job.
More attempts at propping up Slick's "legacy."
What happened to the autobiography he wrote?
-Regards, T.
I will hold my fire on this until I've read it.
We should be able to tell if it is biased or factual by the reviews and TV interviews of the author.
This book may be considered, in the future, the history book of the Clinton presidency. What other book is there by someone outside his administration, or his right-wing detractors?
If his flaws, deceits, failures, strengths and successes are honestly discussed and portrayed, then it will have merit.
"He's a good man - did a bad thing!"
!James "The Lizard" Carville
LOL.
Recommended attire for contact with this...er, book.
BTW, do you think the author will address why Toon refused to rescind EO 12333? Inquiring minds still want to know...
Nice timing for the book, just as the book about the women he molested is out. MSM just has to shine the t**d, don't they?
"high regard among the public"
If you can call a personal approval rating of 25% as "high regard" - then you are delusional.
The only "high regard" this jackass has is from THE MEDIA. And .. since this was written by one of the media's Clinton lovers .. I will not waste my money.
What reasonable man or woman gives a twit what that liar writes?
