Vanity Fair to Expose Hillary's "Ugly" Side; Klein's New Book Shaking Up Media Establishment
NEWSMAX.COM ^ | JUNE 5, 2005 | John LeBoutillier

Posted on 06/05/2005 3:56:37 PM PDT by CHARLITE

Recently, NewsMax pundit John LeBoutillier chatted with Ed Klein, the author of the upcoming book "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President."

For the first time, NewsMax can reveal details of what is inside "The Truth About Hillary," which will be excerpted in the next edition of Vanity Fair, due out June 8.

John tells NewsMax's Insider Report: "It is safe to say that none of the dozens of biographies of Hillary Clinton have ever been as well-researched as this one. Klein talked to almost 100 people close to Hillary going back to the 1960s.

"Nor have any of them been written by a professional journalist with such impeccable credentials. Team Clinton undoubtedly plans a fierce counterattack on Klein as soon as the book is published - that is always their MO - but with this author they are going to have a tough time."

LeBoutillier notes that Klein, a former New York Times Magazine editor, comes from the bastion of the liberal, so-called "mainstream media."

Klein has worked for the most liberal publications in the United States.

After a stint working for United Press International overseas, Klein joined Newsweek, where he became Foreign Editor and then Assistant Managing Editor with jurisdiction over foreign and military affairs.

As editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine for 11 years, 1977 to 1988, Mr. Klein led that flagship publication of the Sunday Times to new heights of public interest and editorial excellence. During his editorship, The New York Times Magazine won the first Pulitzer Prize in its history.

In 1989, Mr. Klein became a Contributing Editor with Vanity Fair. Among his many articles were stories on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and on Aristotle Onassis's granddaughter, Athina Onassis Roussel.

But it is as an author of nonfiction books that Ed Klein has made the most news. His two most recent books - "The Kennedy Curse" and "Farewell Jackie" - have caused great controversy.

Despite stories of unhappiness from the Kennedy family about Klein's books, these were not "slam pieces" by a Kennedy-hater. Indeed, they were well-researched books based on interviews with people who knew the principals involved.

It is this exact same technique that forms the basis for "The Truth About Hillary."

LeBoutillier says the book will give a sensational blow-by-blow account of the Clintons' private and public life.

The first wave of publicity for the book will kick off on June 8, when Vanity Fair prints an excerpt from "The Truth About Hillary."

LeBoutillier says the book will reveal Hillary's struggle with New York's Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan to get his seat. Though a Democrat, Moynihan had little use for Hillary.

LeBoutillier writes:

"Seven years later - after her husband's impeachment - Hillary Clinton decided to run for Pat Moynihan's Senate seat from New York. First Lady Hillary Clinton came to ask for Senator and Mrs. Moynihan's blessing and endorsement, visiting the Senator in his Washington D.C. living room - this time at the Watergate hotel and apartment complex.

"Pat Moynihan was recuperating from recent back surgery and hadn't been up to the Hill for weeks. A longtime Democratic stalwart going all the way back to the Kennedy Administration, as well as a famous Harvard professor, author and UN Ambassador, Daniel Patrick Moynihan was already an American political legend.

"Hillary came into their living room expecting a cakewalk of an endorsement meeting. Instead, things quickly grew ugly. Both the Senator and his wife, Liz, went 'after' Hillary for her years of lies, deceptions and exaggerations. Clearly there was no love lost between the Moynihans and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"As Liz Moynihan questioned Hillary about her repeated dishonesty, and as Hillary dodged and weaved and lied even more, Pat Moynihan could take it no longer. He stood up and said, 'I have to go up to the Senate.' He left - but actually just went next door to another apartment to get 'away from Hillary.'

"Still, a few months later Hillary got what she had wanted: the prized photo 'op' at the Moynihans' upstate farm. There, as she announced her candidacy, Pat and Liz Moynihan stood and in effect gave their 'blessing' to this out-of-stater who was parachuting in to create her own base for an inevitable White House run.

"Oddly, Pat Moynihan never uttered Hillary's name - not even once - during this event. He could not bring himself to mention Hillary by name - but the press reported his 'endorsement' just the same.

"And Hillary went on to win his Senate seat.

"That is the story of both Clintons: Despite reservations by others who might stand in their way, the Clintons always get what they want - and they always get away with whatever it takes.

"Their sense of inevitability overcomes all obstacles."

LeBoutillier says this particular book serves an invaluable purpose: cutting through the mainstream media's pro-Hillary propaganda and giving readers a look at the lying, manipulating, dishonest - and extremely dysfunctional - former First Lady who has been on an inexorable march to the Oval Office for over 30 years.

Press dishonesty, yes, and absolutely typical.

But if Moynihan agreed to stand there with Her Heinous in front of cameras and reporters, how else could he have expected it to be interpreted? It's too bad he put loyalty to the party ahead of loyalty to his principles in this instance.

If it's the same event I'm thinking of, I saw it...and it was hysterical (except in the one I saw, he did mention Hillary by name). Moynihan said "I knew Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt loved everybody. And Eleanor Roosevelt would have loved Hillary Clinton."

SSsssssssssburnnnn!

I wish these Hillary bashing books would stop, they do nothing except fire up her base and they love her even more. Nothing will happen to the woman so stop wasting time on this. She should have been put out to pasture while she was down in Arkansas.

I am a US Marine. I have been for 12 years. When on a detail, I was told (actually ALL the Marines) were told we could not look Mrs. Clinton directly in the eyes. Also, when she was coming down the hall way, we were to duck into some other room. So the queen would not see us. You see, she did not like having all the security around. Instead of treating us with some respect, she had total distain and contempt for us. Thanks.

It's not Hillary bashing. It's typical Clinton "get the bad news out through a friend and inoculate for the future"-

Anything involving the media and Hillary will always be in my view some sort of manipulation.

Hillary is the Dark Prince, and as much as I hate the notion, I fear that she is going to get in, a few years from now.

Watching Kerry, Dean, Reid, Pelosi, and others makes it clear that they are intentionally presenting an insane radical front.

The plan seems to be that only the moderate senator from New York can heal the nation from right wing extremist republicans and loony lefties.

And when a terrorist comes through our southern border, she'll have a lock on the next Presidency. Only if we nominate McCain. Other than that, I look forward to reading this book.

As Rush pointed out, the book will help Hillary by inoculating her from criticism when she runs for President.

"You know, these kind of charges have been levelled at me for years. And there's never been any basis for these kind of outrageous allegations. The right-wing Republicans cannot win on the issues, so they have to resort to these personal attacks on me and my family. I'm not going legitimize these tactics by responding. I'm going to focus on the issues that are important to American working families, like child care, health care, and compassion for all Americans."

The whole thing is a big set up for her Presidential run, so transparent.

If this was any kind of book at all, it would tell us what happened between here:

As Liz Moynihan questioned Hillary about her repeated dishonesty, and as Hillary dodged and weaved and lied even more, Pat Moynihan could take it no longer. He stood up and said, 'I have to go up to the Senate.' He left - but actually just went next door to another apartment to get 'away from Hillary.'

and here

"Still, a few months later Hillary got what she had wanted: the prized photo 'op' at the Moynihans' upstate farm. There, as she announced her candidacy, Pat and Liz Moynihan stood and in effect gave their 'blessing' to this out-of-stater who was parachuting in to create her own base for an inevitable White House run.

FBI files ?

Moynihan's 'loyalty' may have been coerced through a skeleton or two ... tell me again how many FBI files and on whom Hatellary collected for private filing purposes? The Clinton's make Jesse Jackasson's shakedown games appear amateurish in comparison!
