Today, Tuesday June 21, marks the first official date of public release of Edward Klein's "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President."
Allegations in the book are said to be so shocking that even Fox News' Bill O'Reilly has banned the author from his show. Hannity is set to interview the author today. Some of the first details about the book are released below
"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.
think low brow
"This may surprise you, but Hillary really doesn't have the super powers of mass control."
No, but she has enough.
"Ed Klein is from the kennedy wing of the party, but he is no clinton stooge."
For Democrats, loyalty to party now equals loyalty to the Clintons, damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.
What we need is some red meat, for example, proof of the actual content of Hillary's senior thesis at Wellesley. Clearly that document contains some very embarrassing public policy positions, otherwise it wouldn't have been so well hidden. If Klein really wanted to scuttle Hillary's chances of being the first female president, he would have found the darn thing.
Instead it looks like he's written an extended National Enquirer article. Who cares?
bachelor party
Just a point of information, not a criticism:
It's OCCAM's razor.
I know you're being sarcastic, but I'm thinking more like the Gary Aldrich treatment.
Hmmmmm? Her staff said they were not going to comment on "fiction".
Evidently .. this is NOT FICTION!
Are we sure Hillary wants the bok stopped? Why not go ahead and get the dirt out now and then the standard reply to the questions during the election is: That's old news. Let move on.
Yep seems like Hillary will thrive much more as a front page liberal icon victim rather than as the do nothing back bencher she is (her actual performance as my "Senator").
If there's one thing she is good at, it's spinning a negative into a postive. I bet she loves this new attempt to take her down.
YES! You got it exactly right!
Ockham/Occam. I've seen it spelled both ways, probably based on whether source is vernacular or Latin.

Gary: "Yeah! Yeah yeah! All the things that make life worth living for!"
Klein lawyer's better have been very, very careful: it's very difficult for a "public figure" to sue for liable in the US (though as the tabloid press has discovered recently, not impossible). But if press accounts are accurate Klein has made some pretty damming accusations against private individuals, which if they obtain good legal representation can be a BIG problem if his reporting is inaccurate – he has was pretty much unlimited personal financial liability for any judgment which might result.
I doubt it.
She has about as much control over the democratic party now as a cat has over a pack of wolves.
If you really want to see if she has any pull left, see what happens with the AFL-CIO, she is working triple OT to keep them from splitting.
If she still has even 1/10 the juice everyone imagines she has, then the AFL-CIO won't even have tenion in a few weeks let alone a split.
Don't forget, some of those "loyal dems" are still going to run against her in 2008. She will get the nomination, she is not getting it uncontested.
For a supposedly legitimate news discussion host, O'Reilly seems to be working awfully hard lately keeping people OFF his show.
