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.

Not only improbable, but impossible. The lack of support from the average WASP is just the start. I know even hardened liberals that would rather reelect Mr Bush, than see Hilary in office. It undercuts everything Bill Clinton did to affirm the position of President as a masculine role. I can still hardly get over the fact that she is the queen of New York. What are they thinking? Smog and pollution must be getting to them. I think Bill might be way ahead of us, as far as making sure she never sees the Oval Office.

" I feel sorry for the good people who live in New York because she doesn't give a damn for them either."

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!

***I cannot register my opinion of Hillary because I am restrained from using obscenity in this forum. HOWEVER, Hillary is not smart enough to find a cover-up for the ruthlessness her character exudes. If "smartest" means the most devious and the most duplicitous, then that's credit due to Hillary. Because Hillary is blindsided by her egomania, she is incapable of realising that rational people see her for what she truly is - a powerlusting, self-serving *obscenity*.

On her international book signing tour in France, U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton told her cultish French fans, who were as hysterical as the Third Reich masses at a Hitler rally, that "Americans are selfish."

Does Hillary Rodham Clinton still associate with that anti-American anarchist militant underground group that murdered people? Shouldn't we all watch our backs?

So, Char - what are "liberal" Democrats' slanders and defamations aimed against Newt Gingrich? Regardless, or in spite of Hillary, America needs a profound and unifying traditionist leader for president.

Let's pray the MEDIA will not stage and control the pseudo-debate format for upcoming presidential elections.

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.

***THANK YOU for your honourable service. God bless you, and keep you and all members of the U.S. military safe.

Hillary Clinton has earned my total disdain and contempt.
SOooo, Hillary doesn't want military members to look her straight in the eyes, eh? Heh, heh! AND she wants to be the "CHIEF"? Speaking of dreaming-up military coups...
could an entire Marine platoon staring right into Hillary's eyes knock her down? It seems that the only militancy that Hillary has ever supported is the anarchist underground.

"I wish these Hillary bashing books would stop, they do nothing except fire up her base and they love her even more."

Hillary's cult of supporters are felons, flops & fops and very strange feminists who all together represent a very small base of very loud hystrionic centric groups featured by the MEDIA.

I hope books exposing and criticizing and analyzing Hillary Clinton will NEVER stop until she is led out to that pasture of which you spoke.

I do not wish to be uninformed or misinformed about any ambitious politician. It is my duty to seek the TRUTH.
Because...exemplary CHARACTER and INTEGRITY do count as prime human attributes.

"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."

"And I will strengthen our border security, which is something many Republicans will agree has been a major failure by Bush. Americans in both major parties want out-of-control illegal imigration to stop."

If she truly adopted that stand, it would force the Republican candidate to match up, on this issue, and that would be a good thing.

For Mr Klein's sake, I hope he has bodyguards with him at all times...

I would place the las vegas odds of that happening, at 1000000 to one... in other words, it is a virtual certitude.

and all the power which we gave to W and company which they have or have not used appropriately, will be used, by hillary to consolidate irresistible power over all aspects of our life... for the foreseeable future.

I can even guess the scenario the Terrorists will use. A legal will open a small convenience store in a gang infested area, probably in a area 'owned' by Texas Syndicate.
He'll build his 'legend' with the usual stuff, buying stolen property, doing a little dope with the home boys. He may even go so far as hire a few sisters or mothers of the bangers and treat them "con respecto".
He'll help them with food stamp frauds, give a little credit, keep beer at his nearby home for after hours sale. His store will have the usual religious icons for sale, and he'll never mention 9-11, except to say "hey we're not all like that". He'll party down with the home boys, even supply some 'ho's for a party. All the while, he'll be talking about his cousins, who are dynamite paint and auto bodymen.
He'll be casing the players, looking for the brightest and greediest. One day he'll ask for a favor, but will pay very well. He has good jobs line up for 'cousins' if he can just get them to Detroit, or Bumsnot KY.
But hey guys, keep this under your hat. Our two vatos will say sure man, cause they know the bigger dogs will want a cut. And all they got to do is meet the cousins with some clothing at the Mexico City Int'l Airport.
The budget may even include funds for some Mexican Nationals to take a dive in front of the local Border Patrol, so they'll be tied up processing them.
Once our 'Slimes are across the border, they'll do in the coyotes and put gang plackas on the bodies. IF and when the cops find the bodies, they will write it off as a turf war.
Now we got some serious players inside the good ole USA.
Total budget for the op?Less than a hundred G's. (Which SBA will fiance most of)
