Hillary Rodham Clinton is frigid. No, she's a lesbian. No, wait: She had a torrid affair with her husband's deputy counsel, Vince Foster, who committed suicide after realizing the first lady could no longer be his ''intimate friend."
There's a danger when you throw together rumor, innuendo, mind reading, and unsubstantiated blind quotes from sources who overtly hate your subject. And it's not just the risk of looking (as Edward Klein does) like an author devoid of credibility.
Klein's attempt at a breathy tell-all about the former first lady and current New York senator, ''The Truth About Hillary," leaves a confusing portrait of contradiction and caricature. Any reader hoping to find even a tiny glimpse into the real woman behind the political facade will be sorely disappointed.
But women, in particular, will find much to be offended by. To Klein, Clinton's major sins seem to be that she's smart, ambitious, kept her own name, and as a young woman wasn't interested in dressing to attract men like him. Early in the book, we learn that as a law student, ''Hillary felt so hopelessly unattractive that she did not bother to shave her legs and underarms, and deliberately dressed badly so that she would not have to compete with more attractive women in a contest she could not possibly win."
Snip:
Maybe Klein's book provides Hillary haters with a good adrenaline rush while they're waiting for Rush Limbaugh to come on-air. But many on the right are put off, too. One prominent operative proclaimed the book ''disgusting" and fretted that the fallout would bolster Clinton's presidential prospects.
Klein may have set out to destroy Hillary Clinton. Instead, it will make most readers want to rush to her defense.

Great self observation
that she did not bother to shave her legs and underarms
Is she French?
And Clinton said to himself: "I've got to have that."
Look into the eyes and you will see the truth.
LOL!
pure evil. look too long and you'll go blind.
That's about right.
Can you imagine? I bet one of Clinton's friends elbowed him in the side and said "Hey, I'll bet you $5 you won't ask the class pig out," and Clinton---probably drunk or high on coke---said "You're on," and the rest is history.
The sh*thead on the left is stoned.
Most people won't read the book anyway. Just like most people will never read John Kerry's true and aqccurate military records.
Since this thread is basically about Hillary and hearsay, I've heard from people close to the White House that there was a standing order to the Secret Service staff in the White House hallways to never recognize Hillary Clinton. I've been told that just saying "Good Morning Ma'am" to Hillary would usually be met with a "$#%uck you!" back.
True? You never know. You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know.......
That photo ought to be captioned "Arkansas Gothic".

She had to drag Rush Limbaugh into the story. Hahhaha. I thought this story was about Klein and his book. Is this the same person who shows up on Brit Hume's roundtable? Krauthammer always cuts her to pieces to the point where she has very little to add. I was going to email her and chastize her for doing the predictable liberal thang by linking anything negative with Limbaugh but I see there is no email for her.
Yes, I do believe she is Brit's occasional guest. I haven't been impressed by her comments on the panel and am even less impressed now after reading her column. Krauthammer rocks!
Nina Eason co-authored the BG Kerry biography and is a noted Bush basher. She did her best to beat Bush in 2004. I don't understand why Fox puts her on the Sunday show as a panelist. Whatever she says or writes is pure garbage.
