Hillary’s 6,000 Crises (well-known writers review the book)

(The book is).......the already classic telling of the scene in which the hang-dog President wakes his wife and confesses to the stunned and seething First Lady, as well as the section in which the two prepare for the cumbersome machinery of impeachment to be wheeled into place......

Pulp fiction.

Hannity believes that the sales are going well. But one thing I think ought to be considered. How many are purchasing her book for opposition research? I would not boycott her book if I had time for that kind of detailed opposition research. That should be encouraged.

And, of course, the Clintons have always been polarizing figures. She's the only First Lady I know of who told the public that she and her husband were victims of a vast conspiracy. That is bound to generate a certain number of zealot followers.

The antidote, IMHO, is to go back to the origins of this Forum, the true reasons why we became so determined to bring down the Clintons. And that background had absolutely nothing to do with a two-bit prositution-payoff such Monica getting a government job in exchange for oral services. That's nothing.

What about Chinagate? What about Ron Brown's strange head hole? What about Filegate, which was publicly referred to by Stephanopolus when he mentioned the Ellan Romesh strategy? What about our ability to predict bad things to come? We predicted that Bill Clinton would do some doozies at the end of his second term, and our predition was vindicated with fireworks. What about his Executive Order which banned single-action 'assault rifles'? Legislation via executive order. What about his annual veto of the partial birth abortion ban? What about Vince Foster?

Even Whitewater, the topic spammed into redunancy here, was vindicated by several convictions, including a governor. What about Clinton's days as governor? Such as a full and complete pardoning of a cocain dealer, Dan Lassiter. And his bizzare relationship with Dr. Malak, who's autopsies could be described as mobster-style? [Children On the Railroad Tracks].

God willing, I foresee her book is a brief moment in the sun, her last 15 minutes of glory. Hellery might as well enjoy them. Re-writing history is now ten times more difficult than it's ever been. The left wing media is in a shambles. Their future rides with her's. But that is assuming we remember the roots of this forum. If we forget, then she wins.

Erica Jong drank the Kool Aid!

Jerry Springer with Secret Service standing in the background.

This load of BS worked for her hubby and she is trying to replay his method of operation, remember the 60 minutes interview and what we didn't get to see, the light bulb exploding above there heads.

This is enough to throw rotten tomatoes at.

LOUIS BEGLEY:"I readily imagine Kenneth Starr, Orrin Hatch, Tom DeLay and the other stalwarts of the great Presidential peep show in their viewing booths, shifting eagerly from foot to foot, ready to climax as Hillary and Bill undress."

Ewwwww! Now I know why I've never heard of this author and will never buy HIS garbage.

LAURA MOORE:"I think we’ll leave the suggestions at that. I’m sure you’ve got the gist. In closing, please let me add that I hope we’ll have you and President Clinton back in the White House in 2008. The material W. is providing is far too scary to contemplate."

Dear Ms. Moore:
That disgusting sucking sound I hear is surely your dry, puckered lips kissing Senator C's rotund behind. Never heard of you, either and as an avid reader of fine novels, I'm glad I did have this opportunity to read a snippet of your crap so I don't make the mistake of ever buying it.

I particularly enjoy the Monica Lewinsky matter referred to as an "affair." Blow jobs in the oval office during business hours are more in the category of massage therapy to relieve tension. "Affair" implies some sort of emotional connection of which Bill Clinton is incapable, even with a married partner.

[MEG33]

I am sick of the Clintons!!Some of those reviews were beyond disgusting about this administration.

[MrsEmmaPeel]

Hillary Clinton is so 9/10

"I hadn’t decided whether to fight for my husband and my marriage, but I was resolved to fight for my President."

All for the Party! Stalin would have been proud!
That line shows us exactly what her priorities are.

I wonder if Erica Jong and David Gates are on the same drugs?

[fightinJAG]

Interesting, but sad.

How do you think Erica overcame her fear of flying?

Schmidt Delivered by Begley: Recently widowed, Albert Schmidt has triumphantly rediscovered domestic bliss in the Hamptons with Carrie, the Puerto Rican waitress who is younger than his daughter. Schmidt is content with keeping his own hours and steering his own course, even as he becomes entertained--and increasingly ensnared-- by the odd billionaire Michael Mansour.

Oddly enough, sounds like he cribbed the plot from realife Hamptonite Alex Bradavitch - retired Vogue mag honcho - who married his wife's young Phillipino nurse shortly after Mrs B died.

The woman is stronger than Queen Elizabeth I of England. . .

What? WHAT?!? Ye gods, if I needed any more confirmation that Erica Jong is a moron, I have it now.

Good Queen Bess only ruled England for 45 years with no king. She only brought it out of the feudal age into economic prosperity and naval might. She only managed to be the first successful queen England had had.

Sheesh.

[blackbart1]

Excellent remarks. All I can say is "they" she and bill are dumb. I can't figure out why in the world they are touted as "smart and brilliant". They make such dumb decisions.
