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.
A person who is as singularly and ruthlessly ambitious as this woman is doesn't really care about anyone or anything (oh well...maybe she cares about Chelsea). What amazes me is that the "smartest, best educated voting population in the world" (New Yorkers) can't figure out and REJECT the "smartest woman in the world," which, BTW is also a fiction. It is a myth; - the result of a slick PR machine which has been putting out this fiction for 3 or 4 decades.
If only Newt Gingrich would run in '08, he would kill that myth pretty damn quick, in my opinion. Hillary Clinton is a walking, glossy 150 pounds of platitudes.
Char.........and next time, I'll say what I really think of her!
HO-HUM Tell us something we don't already know.
"It was said that Moynihan was an alcoholic and unreliable after 12:00 noon. Also the offer of a Federal building named for him was held out as a lure.
Moynihan was sick and tired; did not last long after he retired.
maybe that is the answer. "
FBI FILES !
I personally saw Moynihan dead drunk at a wedding. Friends who worked with him said he had "a real problem"
Let it out Char! :) !! LOLOL!!
150 lbs, ummmmmm... that's on her DRIVERS license maybe, but we all know that little game..
Since I'm in Crapifornia, I resent it greatly when others paint all of us with a broad brush for 'getting' what we deserved with our representation.. Most forget that we are outvoted predominately by TWO cities.. looking at California's red/blue map tells the story pretty well... and in defense of New Yorkers, I think the same is true for that state as well.. They are held hostage by the NewYorkTimesNutGooberCrowd. The rest of the state appears to me, to be not only beautiful, but sane. So, I like you hope those cityfolk wake up ... but after 9/11, I thought for sure, the ash from the towers would've presented an undeniable reality to their doorstep. But it did not. We all know about how the votes were bought...(ie NewSquare four), but nonetheless, the trained goobers showed up and pulled the lever for more pain.
If they do voter her out, I hope she is frogwalked out of office.
Semper Fi from this Army reservist, sir! But this no-eye-contact bull#@&* is Howard Hughes, it is Louis XIV, it is Adolf Hitler, it is the wishes of someone with a megalomaniacal complex! It is....
Empress Hillary. Just who the hell does she think she is?
Isn't she related to Medusa? ;) She knows it would be too hard to explain how all those people who looked at her got turned into stone.
I HEARD THAT!
She is pretty sickening. Really hope the Dems can come up with some other candidate. Because I am not voting for another ineffectual Republican for President.
Oh, how could you ping me to that? LOL I'm blinded...
Yes, he really befouled an otherwise sterling career. Just shameful. One imagines that Hillary really had the goods on him or someone he cared about.
And you obviously never did...or you wouldn't be reading and posting here.
There's another side?
This makes it sound as if she has a side that isn't ugly.
Never thought of that relationship, maybe you arre right...lol, isn't that odd of her though? Wonder how she plans to campaign?
Hitlery moderate?
/snort!
Look at this picture. :) All she needs is snakes for hair and she's either Medusa or Medusa's sister. She's a Gorgon for sure.
