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...
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?

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.

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 fucking coup d'etat!" Gore just stared back blankly. pg 313.
--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 shit 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.

Swearing Steaming Screaming -- White House as Hot House
From pages 356-7 of THE SURVIVOR: BILL CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE by John F. Harris, national correspondent for the WASHINGTON POST:
Context is Sally Quinn's article from 11/98 explaining why the Washington Establishment was appalled by Clinton's behavior during Lewinksy, even though a majority of the country at large was not: "One could hardly imagine a more well-timed morale booster at the White House than Quinn's article. [Paul] Begala went to the Oval Office waving the article in his hand. "This is perfect," he exclaimed. "This is the best and most accurate article you will ever read about Washington." Quinn, as Begala saw it, had accurately chronicled the smug insularity of establishment Washington, as well as its preciousness and hypocrisy. Clinton could not agree more. The article stayed on his desk for weeks, and on his mind even longer. Some time afterward the president was going over papers with his staff on the upcoming Presidential Medal of Freedom awards. Spontaneously, he launched into a little riff for his assembled aides. His nominee for the prestigious award this year would be none other than the famous [Watergate editor] Ben Bradlee, husband of Sally Quinn.
The aides looked on in puzzled amusement.
"Anyone who sleeps with that bitch deserves a medal!" he explained.

Clinton has no problems rolling tanks. He just has a hard time pointing them at someone other than the American people.
Lets everybody infiltrate book stores and move as many copies of this book and My Lies into the True Crime section of your local book store. He He He
THE SURVIVOR of all his own illegalities.
My only comment: "Gee, golly whiz! Thanks, H. Ross. Please keep your mouth SHUT FROM NOW ON UNTIL YOU ARE TOO OLD TO SPEAK!!"
Yep! H. Ross Perot, all 5'6" of him, gave us Bill Clinton. Am I bitter? What do you think?
Er, he was the only President in the 20th Century to be impeached, right? Whattaguy.
However, I have to admit this one could make for some good reading! ; )
Did I mistake the title?
I'm ordering it this week!
