"The Truth About Hillary"
The truth about Hillary is more frightening than you can imagine.
So says New York Times bestselling author Edward Klein in his "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President."
For more than a decade, countless journalists and biographers have struggled to pin down the character of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yet despite all the scrutiny, no one-until now-has explained her many contradictions and deceptions.
She's a wife, but she shows no wifely instincts.
She's a mother, but she isn't maternal.
She's a feminist, but she rode to power on her husband's coattails.
She's strong and assertive, but she has abetted decades of chronic infidelity.
She inspires fierce loyalty among her followers, but she frequently stabs them in the back.
In this controversial and eagerly anticipated book, distinguished journalist Edward Klein produces secret documents and stunning evidence from sources close to Hillary Clinton to show just how much she has been willing to lie, bully, cheat, and manipulate people in her quest for power.
Klein reveals a pattern of chronic bad behavior during a decades long effort to become America's first woman president, no matter what the cost.
The Truth About Hillary contains shocking new accounts of key moments in Hillary's private and political life, giving readers a rare opportunity to assess the true character behind her public mask.
Among the many eye-opening revelations:
How the culture of lesbianism at Wellesley Collage shaped Hillary's politics. How she acted as a secret partisan agent of Ted Kennedy's during the Nixon impeachment. How she set up an elaborate system to monitor her husband's girlfriends. What she really knew early on about Monica Lewinsky and hid from the country. How her image makeover as a moderate senator is a sham. Americans know that when it comes to political leadership, character counts for more than any policy position or speech.
And as they begin to size up Hillary Clinton's fitness for the highest office in the land, they will turn to Edward Klein for the truth that Hillary Clinton doesn't want the public to know.
EDWARD KLEIN is the author of The Kennedy Curse; Farewell, Jackie; and several other New York Times bestsellers. He is also the former foreign editor of Newsweek and former editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine. He is a frequent contributor to Parade magazine and Vanity Fair. He lives in New York City.
Pleeease don't read this book !
Pleeease don't throw me in that briar patch !
And WND is getting rolled by the liberals on this.
The whole point of this book is to get Hillary portrayed as a victim of those conservative meanies, and WND is helping her do it.
Author ,Klien on Hannity radio show now .
Yes. It also seems to be the smart machiavellian move to put all the "salacious", anonymously-sourced dirt in one package well before Rodham's White House run as a way of inoculating her against such revelations later on. Then the line will be, "that's old news and it was debunked years ago."
I don't think that the author is a Hillary stooge. I think he set out with the right intentions and that the Hillary team got people to feed him untrue stories so that they could blast the book when it came out.
Yup... and throwing in a few outrageous, untrue, scandalous accusations in the book which will be disproven, Hillary inoculates herself from the true stuff in the book. All she needs to say is "That stuff was brought up in Klein's book and we all know how inaccurate it was".
"I don't think that the author is a Hillary stooge."
Formerly with the New York Slimes, draw your own conclusions.
"Author ,Klien on Hannity radio show now ."
If the Force is giving Klein power over Hannity's mind, then all of Sean's brains are in his hair...

"Oh no! Not her! Not her! She pees standing up!"

Ed Klein is NOT part of the conservative movement. If the book is discredited, he is ruined professionally. If he weren't already a well-established writer, I'd say he might have taken the money and ran. I think he would have too much to lose personally to cooperate in such a setup.
The idea that this is a setup fails the Ockham's razor test.
He's using the Kitty Kelly standard , B.O. refused to interview her to since most of their sources are anonymous , and can't be challenged .. .. ..

Ann Coulter???
Maybe, but given that we have seen this exact scenario played out countless times with the Clintons, I still cannot discount it.
"Ed Klein is NOT part of the conservative movement. If the book is discredited, he is ruined professionally."
Because he is not part of the conservative movement, he will be inoculated from the effects of this being exposed.
Instead, he will blame a bunch of right-wing political operatives--and the rest of the media will give him a pass.

heh heh heh. So it's the old tar baby syndrom. Zipa ah de do dah, zipidty day, my oh my what a ridiculous day! Plenty of rubbish coming my way..........zippity do dah zipo de day....
Hey I'm an artist.
This may surprise you, but Hillary really doesn't have the super powers of mass control.
This is 2005, she has an re-election first, then a presidential primary then a general election.
This is not a conspiracy.
Ed Klein is from the kennedy wing of the party, but he is no clinton stooge.
That said, its not like this matters, unless Hillary buys a ticket or the next president invites her, she isn't going to the white house anyway.
That she makes normal people think and say stupid things as if she is a supernatural being with super powers of mind control?
Or that she actually makes people who should realize she is an idiot think that she even has a prayer in hells chance of winning the white house?
