NewsMax has learned that a new book about Hillary Clinton is being rushed into print months ahead of schedule and Vanity Fair magazine will soon publish an excerpt of the work.
Publishing insiders say the book and its revelations could destroy her bid to run for the presidency in 2008.
The tell-all book by Edward Klein, "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President," was originally slated for publication in September.
[Editor's Note: NewsMax will be among the first to offer this book – reserve your copy – Click Here Now.]
But the publisher, the Sentinel imprint of the Penguin Group, has moved up the publication date to June 21 due to the "intense interest and speculation" generated by several media reports on the book, Sentinel spokesman Will Weisser told NewsMax.com.
Vanity Fair will beat the embargo with a special excerpt due out June 5, a source close to the publisher said.
The Drudge Report sparked interest in the book with an online story quoting a source close to author Klein as saying, "The revelations in it should sink her candidacy."
The online report created a storm of interest in "The Truth About Hillary" on talk radio, the Web, and cable chat shows.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough claimed, "Its contents are top secret, but the sources say the revelations inside could torpedo Hillary Clinton's chances at a run at the White House."
The Washington Times followed with a report claiming the book will make new, nasty revelations about Hillary.
"Rumors that the book 'won't be pretty' and is brimming with 'new dirt' have circulated in the New York press for the past four months," the Times said.
The book's sensational revelations about Sen. Clinton may be difficult for her spin operation to torpedo.
Klein is no conservative hatchet man. He's the former editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine and author of the "The Kennedy Curse," "Farewell, Jackie" and several other best sellers.
Klein came under fire, however, for "The Kennedy Curse," a book about JFK Jr. that delved into the personal lives of John and his wife, Carolyn, detailing extramarital affairs and drug use.
A source familiar with Klein's book said his Hillary book will similarly offer a rare and provocative glimpse into the personal lives of the Clintons.
Promotional material released by the publisher of the 336-page Hillary Clinton book states: "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."
The promo discloses that Klein "draws on rare access to inside sources to reveal what Hillary knew and when she knew it during her years as first lady, especially during her husband's impeachment.
"It will also prove that she lied to America in her best-selling autobiography 'Living History.'"
Well that just blew my lunch!
agreed.... get the dirt out now so it will be old news by 08
This is PR propoganda, invented so that conservatives will line up to buy this book. Don't believe this nonsense and above all, don't buy the book.
This is a not so veiled attempt at manipulation.
Oh. Perhaps you'll tell us exactly how the "PR" is, as you say, nothing more than "propaganda."
Or maybe not.
Yes.
I'd like to "delete Hillary" with a two-by-four upside her head.
(For the Secret Service lurkers out there... NO, that was NOT a threat.)
The book already has ONE devastating strike against it.......NEWSMAX is touting it!
Boy, is that the truth. Fool me once... The first tip-off is that Vanity Fair is publishing excerpts.
"Publishing insiders say the book and its revelations could destroy her bid to run for the presidency in 2008."
- Do you smell book sale hype? I do.
Wow ! I sure hope something sticks soon , the teflon has got to be wearing thin .
If there is anything the Clintons have taught me , its that the left is EVIL.

Most certainly. And they also showed us that CRIME IN WASHINGTON pays well, especially when the complicit media protects you by hiding the truth from the public...their standard modus operandi when another far-leftist criminal is caught...I have lost count.
That is disgusting; even for Hillary.
