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.
Of course, he's saddled with a sex tapes scandal so he's identifying with her heinous.
It's well documented and a must read.
We cannot be spun by the leftists in the media.
This is an important book.
So you allow the MSM to spin your opinion of the book?
Not at all. If you do a "user lookup" on my name you'll find that I cautioned Miss Marple only days ago to remain open to the possibility that Klein might have something more than unsourced allegations of college sexual hijinks, etc., against Hillary. I had hoped that something substantive might be in the book.
But now the book is poised for release, meaning that hundreds of literary types have already read it. And yet none of them have come forward with any red meat that Klein has uncovered.
In other words it's beginning to look like Miss Marple may have been right. Klein appears to have stooped to Kitty Kelly's level. Unprincipled bottom feeders like that by definition cannot provide anything nutritious for conservatives.
Being complimentary of Hannity is unavailing, he has no brains to apply to his hair.
O-realy is a slut. He will do whatever it takes to stay on the good side of Hillery including kissing here monumental behind.
I fail to see a whole lot of difference between BO and Al Franken anymore.
actually someone raised a good point
what if the Democratic primaries turn into a real battle royale, esp since the rumblings are that Dean is not a lover of Hillary either and assuming he lasts that long, OK lots of ifs
as I noted in another post, I met some staunch Florida Democrats who despise Hillary as much as they despite W, I was dead shocked.....
but wouldn't it be grand to see Hillary's fellow Democrats pulling out all this Ed Klein stuff, why not - listen to Durbin and Reid these days making up such silliness vs the Repubs
esp if they think they got Hillary on the ropes
I was thinking too, say Kerry remains delusional and he runs and for some reason he is ahead in the polls, wouldn't it be grand if Hillary pulled out Unfit for Command.....or somehow Hillary finds that missing less than honourable discharge
oh I'd have such fun

I knew some dems in 2000 who made it clear they were not Gore lovers but they were still fighting hard throwing elbows every which way to win. Difference between GOP and dems is: GOP are idiots on politics, Dems are idiots on policies.
Why are they waging war to stop the book if they say it isn't true? Wonder how ole hillereee,billereee feels now? All the crap, lies, proven lies from networks and trash written about our President. Now she can take it. If she can't stand the heat she needs to get out of the kitchen. After all, she wants to play with the big guns doesn't she? Welll then, she has to take what comes with it. She's wanting the top job in the USA...there are those that are NOT going to just let her waltz in there without checking every single thing in her background. She can take it or she can't. Either way...it's gonna happen and has already begun with this book.
No I am serious. The leftist-MSM says they are not biased, they have a chance to prove it.
I should point out that William of Occam didn't originate Occam's razor. He just liked it so much, he bought the company.
Those Florida democrats remember Hill's health care debacle, followed by the loss of conrol of the House and then the Senate to the right side of the aisle. They are not in the mood to take any further losses due to Hill's far left wing impulses. Here is hoping Hill wins the 2008 pres. nomination, more dems desert their party or stay home in the general election.
"Of course, he's saddled with a sex tapes scandal so he's identifying with her heinous."
Sorry for the late reply to your comments. I agree with this exactly. O'Reilly is trying to come off as just too elegant, polished, professional and "noble" to stoop to what he calls a "hit piece," but the reason is as you've concluded.
His own sex tapes scandal.......and the sizable pay off that he made to "make it go away" is what's behind his refusal to interview Ed Klein on the Factor.
Thanks for your remarks. You've hit the nail on the old head, for sure!
Char :)
Everything is, of course, based on various groups' perception of what the book contains, rather than the book itself.
Thanks, but I'll read it for myself and make up my own mind.
"She will still be in a position of having to prove affirmatively why she should be president. Ted Kennedy fell on that one question, and maybe some other sad facts in his past having to do with possible negligent manslaughter."
That wasn't what did Teddy in, though.
The press rallied to his aid and they had succeeded in squelching alot of the Chappaquiddick talk (just like they have done for the Clinton scandals) but Teddy couldn't overcome himself. He had a big interview with someone on TV -- can't remember who, might have been Rather or someone like that -- and they asked him about Chappaquiddick. Here was his big chance to silence the critics and get it all behind him, but he wound up giving this rambling answer which went on for about 2 minutes, with him saying, "and, uh", dozens of times, plus leaving long periods of silence with him looking like he was totally out of it. In fact, he looked like he was on heavy meds.
Anyway, after that interview he looked like so much of a loser that the Dems turned to Carter.
